Kids, are you a corporate buyer of CAD and DCC (digital content creation, duh!) systems looking to save a few pennies in a difficult economic environment? Well, you’re in luck: we’ve dug up yet another
demure, innocuous Lenovo with an oversized novelty handle for you, the ThinkStation E20. Shipping with your choice of an Intel Core i3, i5, Pentium, or Xeon 3400 Series processor and either Intel Core HD or NVIDIA Quadro graphics, this guy supports DDR3 memory and carries certifications from Autodesk, Siemens, Dassault Systemes, among others. If that weren’t enough, the company is really pushing the green thing, with more than half of the plastic here coming from post-consumer recycled materials. Available sometime mid-month at prices starting at $599, so start save those pennies! You didn’t really want that
Tesla GPU anyways, did you? PR after the break.

It sort of blows our mind that OpenMoko has managed to sell more than a smattering of its $99 WikiReaders (you know, considering just how limited in scope this thing is), but evidently there’s a huge demand out there for improvements. The company has just rolled out its Spring 2010 update, which adds math equations, fluid scrolling, and enhanced navigation. Reportedly, the latter comes in the form of an improved touchscreen keypad, which is said to make “finding Wikipedia entries easier and faster and makes enjoying one of the largest reference archives known to mankind even better.” We won’t bother pointing out the gross exaggerations in that there comment, but at any rate, existing users can download the update today free of charge. Don’t all hurry over at once and crash the servers, okay?

Don’t pat yourself on the back too much for calling this one, but Warner CEO Edgar Bronfman Jr. has now confirmed what many have suspected: higher iTunes pricing has led to slightly slower sales. Specifically, he says that while the
variable pricing introduced early last year has been a “net positive” for the company, revenue growth on iTunes slowed to just eight percent in the last quarter, compared to a hefty 20 percent a year earlier. He is also quick to point out, however, that raising prices 30 percent during a recession may not have been the best idea in hindsight. Interestingly, Bronfman seems to think that e-books actually stand a better chance at holding to up to price increases than music, noting that the “book publishing industry, on the iPad, has much more flexibility than the music industry had.”

You’re already weighing down the massive head of your Frenchton with some sort of bark collar and GPS-enabled location tracker, so what’s another pendant around the neck, anyway? Dog-e-Minder, which is cleverly being marketed to the “As Seen On TV!” crowd, is a battery-powered device that records the last time your pup (or cat, or iguana, or anything else that rocks a leash) ate, walked or took his / her medications. Essentially, owners simply mash the corresponding button after an event has occurred, and an internal timer keeps track of how long it has been since said event has happened. It also doubles as a dog identification tag (displaying the owner’s contact information and the pet’s name) whenever it’s idle, and it’s even available in a foursome of hues to match your canine’s personality. The pain? $19.95, and the second one is thrown in absolutely free. Obligatory TV spot is after the break, and remember, “If you own a dog, this product will change your life.” Change your life.
