For a sleepy week in August, there were still a fair share of happenings in gadget land. Besides even more rumors, and fallout from the Google/Apple snit over Google Voice, we learned a lot this week, including:
Gadgets "made for women, by women are generally gag-inducing.
Not every magical food-making machine--like this incredible pancake maker--is from Japan.
Samsung reminded us that there's no trend it won't chase, including green gadgets.
And we discovered that we're not the only ones disappointed by the lack of an "eject" button on our remotes.
Scott Stein helped us decide whether to take time to design our own budget laptop or go with a fixed configuration.
Also, thanks to its habit of filing patents, Apple showed it's tired of you microwaving your iPhone and asking for a replacement.
