Google Earth Tracker or GE-Tracker from EverMore is a GPS data logger (DL-600) that, combines with its photo software, can display your position when you’re taking the snapshot using digicam on Google Earth. Pretty fun, isn’t it? The system works 24/7 and can handle up to 170,000 way points. To use the data logger all you have to do is turn it on (and keep it on), and make sure the date and time of camera is synchronized with GMT/UTC time since the photo software also rely on the GMT/ UTC time to sync your pictures with location on Google Earth.

Check out this cool laptop case mod made by Dave Williams, the famous modder. He made this impressive “Scorched Earth” mods using his new Rock Extreme 64 laptop. Personally, I love the bloody skull attached.

One more pic after the jump.
