The Twelve South HiRise Looks Like A Mac Pro Mini, Is Actually An iMac Stand And Storage Locker
In the cut-throat world of desk organization, style often trumps functionality. In the case of Twelve South's HiRise, style meets functionality. See what I did there?
The HiRise is a little storage locker designed to sit under an iMac or Cinema Display. The front panel folds down, revealing an adjustable shelf and storage space large enough for even a Mac Mini. But that shelf -- oh, Twelve South is so clever -- allows the HiRise to display an iMac at the same height as a Cinema Display.

RIM refutes reports of subscriber losses, says people are still buying BlackBerry phones
Struggling Canadian smartphone vendor Research In Motion (RIMM) is widely expected to post its third consecutive quarterly loss on Thursday after the market closes. Following the company’s dismal first fiscal quarter report in which it said it lost $0.37 per share and announced plans to lay off 5,000 workers, RIM is expected to post a wider loss of $0.45 per share for the second quarter. As the company struggles to survive until next year when it will finally release its first BlackBerry 10 smartphones, a pleasant surprise emerged during Tuesday’s BlackBerry Jam conference: RIM isn’t losing subscribers. RIM CEO Thorsten Heins revealed during his keynote presentation that the company’s total global subscriber base grew�to 80 million users last quarter. RIM
Barnes & Noble shows off two new media tablets, Nook HD and HD+
In 2010, Barnes & Noble created the 7-inch low-priced media tablet market by introducing the Nook Color for $250.Today, the company has introduced the third-generation of the tablet, the Nook HD for $199.Additionally, the company has introduced the 9-inch Nook HD+, which will compete against the new Kindle Fire HD LTE and the iPad."We did create the category. We are going to do reading better than anyone else -- with the weight of the product, the ergonomics, and the screen -- this display is unprecedented," added Barnes & Noble's CEO, William Lynch. "We are competing with better content consumption specs and adding content types."The smaller tablet (HD) is the lightest of the 7-inch form factor market, weighing 315 grams compared to 340 grams for the Nexus 7 and 395 grams for the Kindle Fire HD. The device is also a half-inch narrower than the Fire, which the company says makes it easier to hold while reading.Beating out its rivals, the HD also has a 1440x900 resolution screen, although it is unclear the PPI.The larger HD+ "is the lightest and lowest cost full-HD tablet, which is 20 percent lighter than the iPad and nearly half the cost, added the company. The HD+ weighs 515 grams, has a 9-inch screen with a 1920x1080 resolution.Each tablet runs on a 1.5GHz dual-core processor with 1GB RAM. Each tablet has a microSD slot for expansion up to 32GB. For tablet camera fans, there are no cameras with either tablet, with the CEO responding: "Who doesn't have an iPhone or Android phone with a much better megapixel camera all the time?"The OS is based on Android 4.0 with Barnes & Noble's own UI on top. The devices have UltraViolet support for those who have begun building their legal movie libraries.When asked about features like GPS, etc., Lynch adds: "The top four things people do on these tablets is reading, social, web browsing, and email, and we have nailed all those. Do you need a GPS with maps on it? Who doesn't have a smartphone for that?"Permalink | Comments
