There is for sure something unconventional about the Macbook Air, its thin design, it blows the minds but it also irritates… no optical drive, lacks in-built modem, Ethernet and in audio source…phew. Is it going to make it far? (more…)

Seriously, my right thumb was hurting like crazy last night. This is the first time since I learned to tap on a keyboard and used a mouse a decade ago. I decided to use the trackpad instead but my sore thumb was just aching for the mouse button and scroll wheel.
But I think good old mouse will forgive me if I I switch to the SafeType Mouse. It’s a revolutionary watch in Space Navigator’s fashion. The hi-tech mouse allows the arms, shoulder, and hand muscles to relax and be more comfortable ever. (more…)

Okay, stop drooling. The laptop from Sony you see above is just a concept so don’t expect I’d list the technical specs. This Sony Vaio concept was designed by Japanese Eno Setiawan. Looks like the modern world is more than ready to go into the Star Wars future what with the holographic technology that we can see. The Holographic Vaio Zoom concepts features glass keyboard and screen when off. When turned on, the touchscreen technology comes to life. But I still think we’re far from seeing this technology on laptops. No, not yet, since the multi-touch screen technology has just entered the gadget scene.

I’ve heard of people using 2 separate monitors at the same time but I have yet to see a model than can actually be used in more ways than one. BTC, a Korean company, recently released 15-inched dual monitors called the “150DS” in Korea. First look at the product, I remembered the phenominal Transformers. This may not turn to a truck, car, or a plane but the monitor is just plain beneficial especially to those in the customer service industry.

Currently available for the Korean market, there is still no report on the price and when it will be available to the rest of the gadget-hungry countries.

Okay, so there have been a dime a dozen USB drives out there, each one outdoing the other in terms shape, size and overall design. But then in the gold-and diamond-studded style culture of today, it’s not been untill now that these little useful devices have had their fair share of the pie right?

What you see up there is yet another wierdly designed flash USB, except that is one is gem-studded. Of course, it makes for some great looks and yeah the stylish ones can team it up as a chain on their neck, the only difference being that this one is a useful one. (more…)

Everyone can make a stylish, elegant looking watch, but not many can make something that truly stays close to your heart right? Exmocare’s been looking to break that jinx for a while now, and from what we learn of its new creation, it looks like its got something great in the offering. What it has managed to develop is a wrist watch that records your heart rate, heart rate variability, movement and galvanic skin response, all of which helps it understand your emotional condition.

Las zonas dominadas por cámaras de vigilancia siempre han sido una fuente de molestia para el viajero cansado, pero ¿Cómo les sonará la idea de disfrutar filmaciones en vivo de más de 600 cámaras de vigilancia alrededor del mundo? Buenísimo, ¿no? Créanme, yo ya estoy teniendo ideas. SurveillanceSaver (que de eso estamos hablando) es un protector de pantallas OS X que muestra imágenes en vivo de más de 600 cámaras de vigilancia de todo el mundo. Imagínate la belleza de esta telenovela. Interesante por demás, sin embargo, como todas las grandes cosas, esta está actualmente en su fase alfa, lo cual significa que pasará algún tiempo antes de que podamos acceder a ella con todas sus bondades. Más aún, están trabajando en una versión Windows también, de modo que tú y yo no necesitamos cambiar nuestras lealtades.

Okay, so we’ve seen tonnes and tonnes of wireless computer appliances, so seeing yet another wireless mouse is not something that amazes us right? But what might set our hopes high on this one, is th fact that it’s wireless and can be worn like a ring around the finger. Yeah, it means quite a few more buttons that you learn to deal with, but this one makes up for it all by looking good. (more…)
