H-Squared Backlit Mini Mount
Few companies have accessorized Apple’s Mac
mini, so the fact that H-Squared has come up with
something neat is almost surprising. The Backlit Mini
Mount ($80) lets you hang the aluminum mini on a
wall, and gives off a cool white glow if you install the
LED backlight; a version without the light sells for
$60. While there are cables to consider, and the need
to catch DVDs and CDs if they eject from the bottom,
you can pick your preferred orientation - any will save
you some desk space and look a lot fancier, besides.
Valve Portal 2
Mobee Technology The Magic Bar
First shown at CES in the iLounge Pavilion, Mobee’s
The Magic Bar ($60) is an inductive charging solution
for Apple’s Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad,
two devices that look and work great apart from
their hunger for AA batteries. Mobee bundles a
rechargeable battery pack with a Mac-matching base
station and USB cable, letting you use your Mac to
refuel the cell whenever you deposit the Keyboard or
Trackpad inside the base, an effortless process.
As Valve’s official sequel to Portal, a short but
sweet 2007 puzzle game, Portal 2 ($50) picks
up hundreds of years later, challenging you
to make your way through rooms of a testing
facility using a teleportation gun, various
objects, and new paint-like gels that change
the physics of whatever they touch. With
impressive art and incredible voice acting,
Portal 2 offers more than twice as long of a
single-player experience - now 10 hours -
plus a co-op mode with additional puzzles
for two people to solve together.
