為了大幅縮減支出，這回戴爾( Dell )痛下猛藥，預計在十八個月內出售旗下大部份( 或全部 )的組裝工廠，全面改為委外代工，目前正在積極尋找買家當中。

根據華爾街日報的報導指出，隨著戴爾在個人電腦市場的重心逐漸從桌上型電腦移轉到筆記型電腦上，這些原本設計用來快速生產大量桌上型電腦的工廠，反而成為公司成長的包袱，因此戴爾不得不出手處理這個燙手山芋。目前尚未確定可能的接手公司名單，但不難猜想那些想要吃下戴爾訂單的代工廠商出線的可能性最高。

換句話說，只要能夠一一解決出售工廠的障礙，最會代工的台灣廠商當中很可能就會有幾家變成這些工廠的新主人，同時也能接到戴爾的大訂單囉！

Scientists get death threats over Large Hadron Collider

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets

Really people, enough is enough. Death threats? Seriously? According to a fresh report from the Telegraph, gurus working on the mysterious Large Hadron Collider are receiving all sorts of strange messages, e-mails and faxes as the go-live date (this Wednesday, supposedly) draws ever closer. For those curious about why some folks are up in arms over this thing, we'll simply point you to this very informational rap video; for those opposed to nerdy hip-hop, let's just say its primary goal is to "seek out new particles including the long-awaited Higgs boson responsible for making things weigh what they do and the possible source of gravity called dark matter." Somehow or another, the paranoid among us think that carrying out those tasks will rip the world wide open or leave you stuck in 1990 with nothing in your CD player but Ice Ice Baby. Okay, so maybe that last scenario is worth getting worked up about.

CEDIAcrunch hands-on: eSommelier Wine Cellar Management

I know, I know, but the eSommelier Wine Cellar system is actually really neat. The product scans a wine bottle, prints off a custom label, catalogs it, and can even provide live temperature and humidity conditions in your cellar. Software control comes from either a stationary touchscreen, or coming soon, a wireless touchpad. The whole system costs around $10k, so obviously, not everyone is going to have the system installed in their cellar. Personally, my wine management is a tab bit more simply, they are hanging by the stove. I wonder if that’s good for ‘em.

The Shotter：漲自己氣慨、滅他人火焰的滅火槍

[原文連結/翻譯：Judy]

如果嫌鮮紅色的滅火器配上消防水管，還不夠讓打火兄弟展現男子氣慨，那麼這款The Shooter滅火槍應該夠了吧！

The Shooter的概念雖然簡單卻很實用，外表看起來就像玩具槍，附有8發加壓二氧化碳子彈，子彈爆炸時，會順便釋放出裡面的滅火劑滅火，使用方法很簡單，只要調整距離、瞄準、發射就行了。

希望屆時大家不要興奮到真的去放幾把火，試試滅火槍的功效才好。

Say change！蘋果活動宣言現場

讀者如果眼尖的話，最近癮科技網頁上，頭上有一個活動宣言「say change」。不過，事實上我也不是很清楚。慚愧，我們還是協辦單位哩。所以，就利用周六晚間吃飯的時候，順帶過去一趟，現場了解一下，做個報導。個人覺得這個活動有兩個重點：一個是當天有抽到我們癮科技T恤的機會（真驚人，我過去的時候，是活動開始的第二天，兩天都有人抽到T恤）；第二個是在二十七日的時候，還有抽大獎的機會。

在這邊也感謝現場兩位大學妹妹，和藹可親的笑容，讓筆者順利完成這次的報導。這個活動的時間，是從5日開始，地點是蘋果所指定的全省經銷商。對於這個活動有興趣的朋友，可以參考這個網頁。

Chatpad

Finally, modders "have finally managed to get the PSP and Microsoft's Xbox 360 Chatpad typing." No word yet on if Sony will be releasing an official PSP keypad. Video after the break.

There are still a few kinks to smooth out, but the hard part seems over, with l0rdnic0 managing a tiny bit of soldiering using a PSP remote cable and some software from the Open Keyboard Project.
