Cameron Diaz Is Wired With a MacBook Air and a Kindle

GeekSugar — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 12:46:36 -0800

I'm so used to seeing Cameron Diaz with her BlackBerry that I had to do a double take when I realized the actress was spotted holding a laptop - an actual MacBook Air and a first-gen Kindle - today in New York City. She must have wanted to show off the gadget goods because we all know her oversized handbags would easily hold her wallet, cell, day planner, a Kindle and a teeny weeny Air. Though, I must say, the sweater matching the laptop and Kindle case is pretty geek chic.

Picture Perfect Tech: Cell Phones From What Happens in Vegas

GeekSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 02:30:11 -0700

I guess you could say I've been on a bit of a movie kick lately, seeing Iron Man and all its tech treats two short weeks ago and then back to the theaters this past weekend for some hilarious What Happens in Vegas action.

This movie features Cameron Diaz who plays Joy, a stockbroker from Manhattan, and the leading man Jack, played by Ashton Kutcher. Both meet in Vegas for a wild night out on the town and find themselves dealing with a lot more than they bargained for once the night is over. For those who haven't seen it, I won't go into great detail and spoil it for you . . . but I absolutely must reveal some of the tech treats this geek had her eye on throughout the movie!

Samsung had some serious pull in this film, hooking up Cameron with a BlackJack II smartphone. This sleek black cell is certainly an all-in-one phone, boasting TeleNav GPS, a camera, Windows Mobile 6, Bluetooth, and a QWERTY keyboard with a front jog wheel (similar to the iPod wheel).

And to see what sexy Samsung phone Ashton was sporting in the movie (he makes any phone looks sexy in this movie), just read more!

Jack was regularly spotted with a Samsung SGH-a727 cell. Considered the "multimedia friendly phone," the SGH-a727 isn't nearly as wide as the BlackJack II, but it's just as powerful. With this phone you can stream video, IM your friends with all the popular chat platforms, listen to tunes via Bluetooth, or take video footage with the video record option. This phone only costs $50.

Cameron Diaz Goes Monochromatic For SoftBank Mobile

GeekSugar — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 03:00:15 -0700

Japanese cell phone manufacturer SoftBank sure knows how to pick 'em! First with Brad Pitt in his action-packed sexy commercials, and now with Cameron Diaz working it in various print ads (she's already been featured in a few fun and flirty SoftBank commercials as well).

This flashy new ad is gracing the pages of Life & Style this week, and although I can't make out what model of phone it is, SoftBank sure does grab my attention! Rumor has it that Diaz was paid a whopping three million dollars for only six hours of work last year, so I can only imagine what she got for this shoot.

Do You See What I See?

Wasn't it just a few short weeks ago that we spotted Jessica Biel with her unique orange BlackBerry gel case? And I may be mistaken, but I thought Cameron Diaz doesn't usually rock cell phone cases like other celebs? It may be a case of "I didn't know she had it first" or a friend-of-a-friend gave it to me. Whatever the case, all I know is JT's new flame and former flame are sporting the exact same, very rare, orange Curve case. Coincidence? I think not. I can't help but want one myself... let me join in on the copying fun ladies!

Is Rachel McAdams Living Two Tech Lives?

GeekSugar — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 09:03:20 -0700

Not that I'm a tech detective or anything (OK, maybe I am), but I am kinda blown away by the fact that Rachel McAdams didn't know what Twitter was until very recently. The actress also told People that she doesn't own a TV and is really bad at email.

What? Exqueese-me? The last time I checked, Rachel McAdams was right up there with tech savvy celebs like Ashton Kutcher and John Mayer. She's not only been spotted on several occasions with her laptop (and stylin' laptop sleeve), but she was also photographed at the Apple Store in Toronto getting some iPod assistance at the Genius Bar (yes, laptop in tow).

Hmm. . . I'm wondering if Rachel likes the gadgets but is impervious to online services like Twitter, Email, Facebook, etc.? Maybe Cameron Diaz falls into this category as well?!

Madonna Is Still a Two Cell Phone Kinda Woman

GeekSugar — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 09:01:56 -0800

Looks like my two-gadget-minimum memo got lost in the mail last week because everyone else seemed to have received theirs! First we saw Cameron Diaz geeking-out with a MacBook Air and a Kindle and now Madonna is back with her two cell phones. It looks like she's tossed in her BlackBerrys for two new and improved handsets - perhaps a G1 from T-Mobile or an HTC Fuze? Considering we're dealing with a woman who has admitted to sleeping with her BlackBerry under her pillow, we're liable to see her with three phones in the near future.

Celebs Love BlackBerry Gel Cases!

GeekSugar — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 10:00:43 -0700

Even if I am constantly seeing celebrities who carry their laptops without a bag, I do love the trend of celebs and their BlackBerry gels! Cameron Diaz and Jessica Biel had the same orange gel, while Britney rocked a light blue gel, and now we have edgy-fabulous Rihanna showing off a pretty-in-pink gel!

Since she matched the gel to her outfit that day, I wonder if she has many more that she rotates in and out to match her ensemble. I am building up my own mini-arsenal of colorful gels, and I may have to hit up a pink one just like Rihanna's that I found on Amazon, for under 10 bucks!

Picture Perfect Tech: Laptop From The Holiday

GeekSugar — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 12:00:21 -0700

In The Holiday Iris, played by Kate Winslet, uses her Sony VAIO to escape heartache by partaking in a house-swap with California native Amanda, played by Cameron Diaz. Winslet effortlessly finds a home exchange website and is instantly connected to Diaz via IM chat, where they finalize details. If only all break-ups were that easy!

Winslet's sleek silver FE Series Vaio is a high performance mobile media center PC. It has a 15.4 inch widescreen display with HiColor LCD technology for rich and vibrant multimedia playback. Pricing starts at $ 1,300.
