Haven't spent enough on that recently pre-ordered MacBook Air just yet? Cupertino's got just the thing: Apple's USB Ethernet Adapter. As the title implies, this USB dongle enables your mostly wireless MBA to become a bit more wired by adding an RJ-45 that supports 10/100BASE-T. 'Course, for $29, we'd recommend just scraping up a used WiFi router, but to each his / her own.
While Activision and Harmonix bicker over the real reason there's still some lingering incompatibility between the two, Mad Catz has inked a multi-year licensing agreement with MTV Networks to "produce and distribute game peripherals and other products" for Rock Band. Reportedly, the third-party peripheral maker has secured the rights to "manufacture, market and sell game accessories, including both wired and wireless bass guitars, a drum percussion set bundled with professional quality wooden drum sticks, and a wired microphone." All in all, we're stoked to see another player entering the Rock Band hardware game, so here's to hoping Mad Catz won't ship out any faulty axes and frail drum pedals during "the first half of 2008."
Obsessed with your Eee PC? Enough to go and buy a few accessories designed specifically for it by Asus? If so, you should know that Asus has unveiled five compact mice, a headset, world power adapter and a pair of extra batteries for its newest darling. As for the mice, they each sport a 1,000dpi resolution, USB connectivity and come in five different hues. Moving on, we've got a pair of noise-isolating headphones that come with a trio of ear tips and in your choice of white or black, and the new power adapter provides prongs for an unspecified number of foreign countries. Lastly, users who are perpetually finding themselves far, far away from an AC outlet can pick up a four- or six-cell battery. No word on prices or release dates just yet, but we'd bet they'll be rolling out soon enough.
