The Dell Mini 9 is one mod-friendly netbook. First people hacked OSX support. Then, someone figured out a way a rig a working GPS unit into the system. And now? A user named Deldotb of the myDellMini forums has turned the screen into a functional touchscreen.

They did it by strapping on one of those eBay touch panels and loading the appropriate Ubuntu drivers. It seems rather easy to do, the only negative being the loss of a USB port. Below is a video they made to show off the discovery. What’s next for the little netbook that could? Minesweeper?

A Macforums member bought an "as-is" Macbook Air from Ebay and the unit ended up being an early Air prototype. The computer bears a mark indicating it was built in May 2007, six months before the line was introduced.

There are a few changes from the final design: The microphone positioning is a bit off, the keyboard has no lighting, and it runs an interim build of OS X 10.5. The bottom, as shown in the photo above, is black-colored aluminum. Apple has offered no word as to how the prototype unit escaped their clutches.

It seems Apple is packaging a simple paper clip as the official iPhone tool – and the person who received it is actually auctioning it on eBay – and yes, there are bids!

Remember that movie Short Circuit? You know the movie, the one with the delightfully innocent robot called Johnny 5! Well, he’s back, in an expensive way. The totally unique robot is on sale on Ebay for $100,000 bucks.

You better hurry too, this guy is going fast.

Remember the original PS2? The gaming console that has been superceded by the slim version, as well as the PS3 (well, sort of) and now costs about $50 if you look hard enough? Well, someone found a PS2 that was well worth the cost.
