Digital picture frames

Eee PC hacked into a digital picture frame

by Matt Burns on April 15, 2009

Digital picture frames are worthless. Seriously, trust me. However this Eee PC packs much more into the same form factor, which is a huge improvement over the standard Wal-Mart model. Just think: full Internet access, Wi-Fi, a good screen, the Eee PC is perfect for this type of mundane task.

DIY: digital picture frames

Digital picture frames are a popular gift item this time a year. (don’t send one to me, I think they’re worthless) Your mother always told you that people enjoy gifts more if you make ‘em yourself, so why not construct a digiframe out of old parts you have laying around instead of buying one. This way you can customize the frame so it doesn’t look so much like an electronic and it will probably have a larger screen. It could be a great last minute gift.

Westinghouse is teaming up with renowned baby photographer, Anne Geddes, for a set of so-called family digital picture frames. From the sounds of it, these digital frames will come preloaded with some of her photos which is just what every parent want – pics of babies cuter than their own. No word on sizes, prices or availability, but they are sure to be in stores before the holiday spending spree.

Smartparts intros the gigantic SP3200WF 32-inch, WiFi-enabled digital picture frame

Either you hate ‘em or you love ‘em, but digital picture frames in all their unnaturally LCD bright glory are here to stay. Smartparts latest is this massive 32-inch model that is sure to draw attention – and power – as your family pics are fed through a WiFi connection – or the standard flash memory ports of SD, MS, and Compact Flash. The 1366×768, 16:9 frame can also sync up with Windows Live Photo Gallery meaning you don’t need to back to your ‘rents house to upload Bobby’s T-Ball pictures.

The SP3200WF price and availability is no where to be found, but I’m guessing that if you can live without the WiFi connection, you can probably pick up a really nice LCD TV for the price of this puppy.

Dead puppies aren’t much fun unless they’re inside this macabre, insane digital picture frame

Even if you didn’t mean to kill little Futzy, she’s dead. What do do now? Why burn her up and stuff her in this digital picture frame urn. It comes in oak and walnut and costs $289.95. It holds 256MB worth of pictures — your dog isn’t worth a gigabyte — and has a 7-inch screen. Just wait for that screen to heat up a little and things are really going to be nasty up at the old Walton place.

This thing can hold up to 75 pounds of ash so you can probably drop a couple of animals in there over the next few years, depending on how well you hide the rat poison.
