The countless hours that gamers spend in front of the computer can surely cause havoc on the sleep patterns for those who live around them. The long hours of gaming either make the gamer use an extra light or play on with the light of the monitor in the dark. This obviously is what most of the gamers today do, causing severe long-term harm to their eyes. There is a unique solution for this problem, the back lit keyboard...
Even though the new iPhone 2.2 firmware has not been officially released, the iPhone Dev Team has managed to jailbreak them again. It’s not clear as to how they achieved this seemingly predictable occurrence, and neither is it clear as to what they managed to do with a jail broken phone other than the obvious network switch. It still will give many aggravated AT&T users an open option to switch their carriers even though it invalidates the warranty on...
This snappy looking UMPC simply called the Seabright PC430 runs on the Windows CE 5.0 OS. This device has prioritized a gamepad over a keyboard, the device looks more like a gaming machine instead a lean mean business machine. The device runs on a 533MHz Samsung 2443A processor up to 4GB of internal memory, SD card slot, USB 2.0 host port, optional Wi-Fi and GPS, webcam. Now usually a device this small hides a tiny keyboard in its clamshell...
The Mintpad is a Post-it like digital tablet that lets you write directly on the screen with a stylus instead of using a keyboard. It does not recognize handwriting, but it will send the original note, in full color to other mintpad users via Wi-Fi. Well the only sad fact is that you can send these colorful messages to other mintpad users. It’s a cool feature for a neat portable media player/Web browser/camera with 4GB of memory. In other...

It was like bits of technology from "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" were beamed into CNN. The news channel sexed up its coverage with 3-D holographic projections of its correspondents. ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox used everything from touchscreens to supersized high-def plasma screens to help display election returns, maps, and an endless parade of commentators. Fox News did things a little bit differently. The network designed two virtual reality studios with a giant wall of touchscreens, connected together...

Getting the right chair goes a long way in maintaining the correct posture and you can't go wrong with this new chair aptly called Leopard. This chair is designed by Oki Electric Industry Co Ltd, which is designed after the Robot Leg technology based on the muscle and bone structures of the area from thighs to the hip of a...
ROBO-P is a fancy little gadget that will keep any kid glued to his unique toy for days; the gadget is a tiny helicopter like toy with contra-rotating blades and an LED-illuminated body. What further adds to its coolness factor is that it can be remotely controlled. The toy's numerous varicolored LED lights that provide the whirring and flashing illumination display looks best in the dark....
It seems like we are never going to see the day when a PC boots as fast a calculator, but at least we can now rest knowing that the newest version of Windows is gonna boot faster than any of the Vista boot ups. An Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 3.16GHz with 4GB of RAM, was used to measure the boot up times of all three OS's. This test revealed that windows 7 and XP had the...
SanDisk has unveiled an advanced flash file system for solid-state drives (SSDs) that yields dramatic improvement in performance and reliability for computing applications. Called ExtremeFFS, this next-generation patented flash management system – which has the potential to accelerate random write speeds by up to 100 times over existing systems – will ship in SanDisk products during 2009. For SSDs to perform optimally in Windows Vista, and thus replicate or surpass the functionality of hard disk drives, a new flash...

Pricing is not known but the LG Bluetooth DTV should hit select European markets by end of this year....
Samsung has released a new widescreen monitor which is probably the world's first supporting a QWXGA resolution of 2048 x 1152 pixels. That is a whole lot of pixels and looking at the pics the 23 inch LCD can easily display two A4 pages side by side along with Vista's crappy sidebar. Valuable for graphic artists and stock brokers who can loose the extra monitor and save on precious desk space. The Samsung 2342BWX will be available in Korea...
The Hummer brand might be up for sale in lieu of astronomical gas prices and the dwindling economy but this did not deter a group of engineers to replace the pneumatic tires with tracked belts. Surely there is no change in the speed of the vehicle but there would be a phenomenal increase in the heads it turns. (More photos of the Crawler after the jump)...
Wouldn't your kid be delighted to see his Disneyland Trip pics on a Mickey Mouse photo frame? Well I would to, though I have outgrown to buy Disney memorabilia I still own Disney stock just for the sentimental factor. Shaped as the iconic Mouse's head the frame has a 1.5 inch LCD which sucks, as it will be more painful to find your little one than finding Waldo. The frame holds a measly 49 pictures, connects via USB, supports...
