HP Wi-Fi Touch Mouse X7000

packs Facebook button

The extremely stylish and

curvy HP Wi-Fi Touch Mouse

X7000 doesn‘t need much

praise for its looks since it

pretty much gets your

eyeballs in the first go.

However, what really matters

is the gesture-friendly

response it sports. Left-

handers like myself who

have trained themselves to

live in this right-hand-

dominated planet will be

thanking out stars, while the

rigid ones will simply hate

this piece of ‗art‘. Being

wireless you can enjoy it at

distances of up to 30-feet.

The battery life is another

win, since nine months

usage is quite a

phenomenon to marvel at.

And finally, among the six

programmable buttons is the

Facebook key that will get

you on your favorite social

network before you can say,

‗click‘.

Glass touch keyboard

Though we're not aware

about what design sense

and beauty the fans of

computer accessories

look forward to, we're

certain that anything

transparent will be a sure

win. Just what the

Kickstarter project seeks

to unleash upon us. The

result, a glass surface

over a keyboard that

simulates modern day

QWERTY keyboards, with

no moving parts. This will

result in less breakages

and definitely more geek

love. It is said to be 'donut

and coffee' resistant as

well, so clumsy ones

please take note. Being

multi-touch gives the

device a chance to make

a good simulation

keyboard of sorts. The

Kickstarter project also

plans to add a mouse to

the whole thing.

Ultrabooks will become mainstream in the coming years, spurring the sputtering Windows platform, according to a Taipei-based report. Speaking at a conference in Taipei, Acer Chairman J.T. Wang said specifications that define the emerging category of ultrabooks will become the "mainstream model for tablet PCs and notebooks in the next five years," according to a report from Taipei Times. Wang added that the release of ultrabooks will stimulate a "stalled" Wintel (Windows-Intel) "framework." He also said that the line between laptops and tablets will become less distinct. That comment matches up with the message that Intel has proselytizing: that ultrabooks will be very touch-centric, giving rise to hybrids that straddle laptop and tablet designs, according to comments reported exclusively by CNET last month. At an Intel Capital conference, CEO Paul Otellini said Windows 8 in 2012 will usher in touch-based ultrabooks. "Starting with Windows 8, you have a mainstream operating system incorporating touch. Our view is that in the ultrabook lines, touch is a pretty critical enabler," he said last month. Wang also repeated an oft-cited mainstream market trigger price of $699. To "increase ultrabook sales volumes, prices need to be kept at about US$699," Wang said, according to the report. He also repeated his prediction that Acer's ultrabook shipments should be between 250,000 and 300,000 in the fourth quarter.

Apple MacBook Air to come in three fresh size avatars in early

2012

Those not interested in the whole hype that's left Apple upgrade-seekers in frenzy, can look forward to a price drop by Q1 next year. For this is when we expect these three models.

Samsung

Samsung to give up on netbooks next year

When an internal mail goes out viral after an unfortunate leak, there's nothing but chaos and blind theories. This is just what may happen around us now that we've got word of Samsung shutting out on some brilliant genre of devices. This time its netbooks and well, we're seeing the last of them, if what's said is to be believed. It seems that the trading partners of the gizmo giants were notified that they're expected to shut down all prospects of the manufacturer producing netbooks, early in 2011.

The good news is that the letter also said that Samsung will switch focus on its Intel Ultrabooks and ultraportable devices that fall under the 11.6- and 12-inch categories. The death of the 10.1-inch is at hand.

Apple has surprised us with a little MacBook Air delight. It seems that the super-slim laptop will now be available in three new avatars next year. The word is that the MacBook Air will be arriving in a 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch variation, as well as the much cherished 15-inch size that's widely acceptable. It's not long before that we have already witnessed some upgrade on the exiting 11- and 13-inch models. These devices are already in production.

Lenovo

Q180 is the 'world's smallest PC

Through most of 2011 we saw a tech giants being obsessed about tablets and smartphones. That trend has not shifted to ultrabooks with as much 50 of these from different brands are expected to showup at CES 2012. Lenovo has jumped in at the right time with its neat little computer called IdeaCentre Q180 Desktop PC. Hailed as the world‘s smallest desktop PC, this intends to provide users a small, mobile home theatre solution. Specs include a dual-core Atom processor supported by 4GB of DDR3 memory, choice between a 750GB hard disk drive and 128GB solid state disk for storage. Besides this, there is an HDMI and 7.1 surround sound output and it also gives you the option to upgrade discrete graphics card like a Radeon HD 6450A 512MB but it might not be capable of running all the latest games. For a price of $349, this one could be thought as a handy home cinema hub with some PC-ness addition.

Saints Row 3

THQ recently announced

that they would be putting

out a brand new chapter into

the series with a release

date due in Fiscal 2012 and

is being developed by

Volition Inc.

Danny Bilson of THQ stated,

―When you see Saints Row

3, it‘s the visual quality of the

GTA IV universe. It goes up

there. It still has the wacky,

insane stuff. It‘s going to get

really big and really loud in

December.

And as soon as you see the

assets, the gamers will go:

‗Oh, I know what they

invested in The technology.

Warhammer 40k Dark Millennium

The new MMORPG from

developer Vigil games

which is a shooter based

on the Warhammer 40k

universe which promised

huge fire-fights as well as

player formed squads and

flanking and cover

mechanics.

MMO shooters have not

been faring well over the

past year – with games

like APB going offline

within the first 3 months

and is now coming back

as a free to play MMO.

But Vigil does have some

RPG experience behind

them with games like

Darksiders. And if it fairs

better than its

predecessor Warhammer

Online it could even be a

Wow beater.

CES

CES 2012 to witness almost 50 new ultrabooks

Last year‘s CES witnessed an overdose of Android tablets and phones and with CES 2012 being less than 2 months away, speculation and reports have started flowing in to give some pre-mature news. One of them says that a second wave of ultrabooks will be launched by tech giants like Hewlett-Packard (HP), Samsung Electronics, Dell and others. As much as 30 to 50 ultrabooks are expected to appear on the show next year. The source of this news substantiates it claims with the present state of the IT market where ultrabooks will play an important role in boosting consumer demand. Also makers are moving to SSD devices for storage, thus helping those making good profits owing to attractive profit margins ultrabooks offer.

The much-anticipated Chromebook is finally here. It's christened as the Samsung Wi-Fi only Series 5 Chromebook. The specifications include a 0.79-inch thin case for comfort and mobility, a 2.1-inch Super Bright display, Intel dual-core processor, a track pad and Chrome keyboard, 16:10 resolutio, 6 hours battery life, Web camera, a pair of USB ports and memory expansion via microSD, MMC and SDHC cards

Asus

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

The good: The Asus Transformer Prime sports an iPad 2-inspired design that's even thinner and nearly as light, while also managing to include microSD and Micro-HDMI support. The Prime delivers smooth and clear 1080p video, and the 8-megapixel camera captures detail and color more accurately than any other tablet we've reviewed. The Prime's ability to play games on HDTV via a game pad and throttling CPU speeds are feature highlights. The bad: Not every game takes advantage of the quad-core CPU and frame rates can suffer as a result. When connected to the dock keyboard, the tablet is top heavy and can easily slide off a lap or table if not careful. The bottom line: The Asus Transformer Prime is the best full-featured Android tablet yet with a sexy design, thoughtful features, and an impressive camera. Review: Since the launch of the iPad 2, we've been kind of waiting for the Asus Transformer Prime. While we didn't know it existed until a few months ago, the thought of a powerful, robust, and sexy Android tablet has been invading our tablet dreams for months. Is the Transformer Prime that tablet? With its quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, it definitely has the potential.

Asus

Come 2012, Asus Zecate E-450 U32U laptop

Asus have plans for next year that seem quite interesting, and to some degree induce excitement. The Asus Zecate E-450 U32U laptop is destined to make it in the year of judgment, with a 13.3-inch screen, AMD Zacate E-450 dual core 1.65 APU, on-board Radeon 6230 graphics, 2 to 4 GB RAM, 320 to 500GB storage, 3x USB 2.0 ports and 2x USB 3.0 ports, Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi, HDMI, Windows 7 Home Basic and more. That spec sheet is worthy of some notice. We can expect the Asus Zecate E-450 U32U by early 2012 for $509. CES seems to be the venue of choice.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Google and Samsung have announced the world's first smartphone running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) - the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, a.k.a. Nexus Prime. Featuring a lineup of Google software upgrades such as Face Unlock and NFC-based Android Beam, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has a slightly curved 4.65-inch Super AMOLED screen working in 720p (1280x720) resolution, a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM and HSPA+ network support as standard, with LTE support depending on the region. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus boasts a 5-megapixel rear camera equipped with autofocus, LED flash, zero shutter lag feature, improved low-light performance and panoramic picture mode. It's capable of capturing 1080p Full HD 30fps videos and there's also a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls. Other hardware specs aren't too shabby either - 16/32GB of internal storage, Bluetooth 3.0, NFC support, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n (2.4GHz/ 5GHz), Wi-Fi hotspot mode and 1,750 mAh battery. Galaxy Nexus also incorporates a number of sensors including accelerometer, compass, gyro, light, proximity and a barometer. The smartphone has a slip-resistant hyper-skin backing and a slightly round-shaped housing and it measures just 8.94 mm (0.35 inch) thick and weighs 135 g (4.76 oz).

HTC Radar

The Radar is HTC's mid-range Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) phone. The Radar has a more conservative 3.8in 480x800-pixel S-LCD screen. It's compact and, at 137g, is 3g lighter than its predecessor – 2010‘s HTC 7 Trophy. The HTC Radar, like many of HTC‘s recent handsets, is made almost entirely out of a single sheet of aluminium. The Radar has a 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM. However, the Radar is powered by Qualcomm‘s MSM8255 Snapdragon chipset, which has an Adreno 205 processor at its core. This has around four times the performance of the Trophy‘s Adreno 200. There‘s 8GB of internal storage, of which you only see 6GB, and no support for microSD cards for expansion. The lack of expandable storage isn't HTC's fault, as, like Apple's iOS, Windows Phone doesn‘t support external storage, but we would have liked to have seen 16GB inside the phone. The Radar's 5-megapixel camera has a back-illuminated sensor and f/2.2 lens, which yields impressive results in low-light conditions. Video is captured at 720p.

Google is prepping a Siri competitor code-named

‘Majel’

Now that Apple is making Siri the focal point of its iPhone 4S, the competition is going to have to catch up and Google is reportedly baking its voice-control response under the code-name ―Majel,‖ according to a report from AndroidandMe. Why Majel? Well, Majel Barrett-Roddenberry was the proper name of the voice of the computer in Star Trek and along with being ultra geeky, it fits into the general approach Google has to voice control. It‘s an interesting approach and one you‘d expect from Google. The AndroidandMe report said Majel will likely first only include search results but it will eventually provide an extremely-beefed up Google Voice Action experience.

Google updates Gmail

app for iOS

Google made its first significant update to the Gmail app for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad and it includes some handy new features for organizing labels, notifications. The Gmail app always had support for labels, a very popular feature among Gmail users, but now Google has added the ability to show nested labels. This was an experimental feature in Gmail for a while, but now it‘s a fully integrated way to break your labels down into subdivisions. As for the expressive communication, the new app for iOS does bring in custom signature functionality along with a vacation responder. The most interesting bit in the communication department is the new canvas. In any new email message, if you feel like you can‘t express your thought in words, open up a canvas and start drawing. There‘s different brush styles, colors, sizes, erasers, and spray paint.

NAVIGON’s Windows

Phone 7 app

NAVIGON updated its Windows Phone 7 app, allowing users to download maps by state, while also including other features to the mix. Here‘s what‘s new:

NAVIGON MyMaps – separates the app from the maps so you can only download maps you‘ll need, saving some space on your device in the process.

Active Lane Assistant – reflects the current lane configuration and enables drivers to see ahead with orange line indicating the way the driver should follow.

Live Weather – current weather conditions along the route and at the destination in real-time.

LG Jil Sander Mobile

The Jil Sander's phone is collaboration between the famed fashion house and LG to make a somewhat unique, yet somewhat plain Windows Phone. LG E906 Jil Sander Mobile is a redesigned version of the more than a year old LG E900 Optimus 7. The Jil Sander Mobile has the exactly the same specs as the Optimus 7, it just comes in a different shell and runs Windows Phone 7.5 Mango out of the box. A Jil Sander app also comes pre-installed. The LG E906 will sport a 1GHz processor, a 5MP camera, 16GB of internal storage, Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) on board with a 3.8‖ display to top it all off. Like we said, not exactly the most amazing Windows Phone handset available today,

Android 4.0.3 brings new API level

Move over, Android 4.0.2, a new version is coming to town. The next incremental update for Ice Cream Sandwich, appropriately named Android 4.0.3 brings a few new features, a handful of bug-fixes, as well as a whole new API level. The Android Developers blog highlighted a few new APIs that you‘ll find in 4.0.3: Social stream API in Contacts provider: Applications that use social stream data such as status updates and check-ins can now sync that data with each of the user‘s contacts, providing items in a stream along with photos for each. This new API lets apps show users what the people they know are doing or saying, in addition to their photos and contact information. Calendar provider enhancements. Apps can now add color to events, for easier tracking, and new attendee types and states are now available. New camera capabilities. Apps can now check and manage video stabilization and use QVGA resolution profiles where needed. Accessibility refinements. Improved content access for screen readers and new status and error reporting for text-to-speech engines. Incremental improvements in graphics, database, spell-checking, Bluetooth, and more. Android 4.0.3 will begin to roll out in the ―weeks ahead‖ and will also be the base version of Ice Cream Sandwich going forward.

Norton announced several new offerings under its ―Norton Everywhere‖ initiative that aims to protect consumers and their families across multiple devices and platforms. The new products/services include: Norton Tablet

Security – Available in the next few weeks.

Norton Anti-Theft Beta – Free to download, this web-based service allows users to quickly and easily lock, locate and possibly get back a PC, laptop or Android device, along with the information on it in the event it is ever lost or stolen.

Norton Online Family for Android and iOS users – Now out of beta, this free mobile application allows Norton Online Family users to view their children‘s online activities and manage each child‘s ―House Rules‖ from their iPhone, iPad and iPod touch or Android device.

Apple iOS 5.1 beta 2

The recently released beta 2 brings a feature we‘ve all been longing for since iOS 5.0: the ability to delete individual photos from the Photo Stream. One of the great advantages of Photo Stream is that it‘s so effortless. Snap a photo, and it‘s already in Photo Stream, which means it‘s on all your other devices within a few seconds. This is also a major disadvantage too, since most people don‘t want every single photo they take on all of their devices. Apple only gave us the option for all photos in Photo Stream or none whatsoever. Thankfully, that‘s about to change once iOS 5.1 is released to consumers. At the top of the Photo Stream album in the Photos app is a small, familiar delete button. Tap it to bring up a brief message that reads ―This photo will be removed from the Photo Stream on all your devices.‖ along with the option to confirm the deletion — such a simple feature, yet it was neglected up until this point. This is a godsend for frequent party-goers.

Nikon announces SB-910 high-end

Speed light

Nikon has announced the SB-910, the flagship flashgun in its Speedlight range. Replacing the SB-900, the 910 gains the simpler graphic user interface (GUI) of the less powerful SB-700. Its more advanced thermal protection system slows the flash recycle time, rather than it simply shutting down to prevent overheating. It comes with hard filters for matching fluorescent and tungsten lighting and automatically switches the camera's white balance to match the filter. Similarly it adjusts the available zoom steps to suit the body (FX or DX) that it's attached to. The SB910 will be available from mid-December, priced around $549.95.

Fujifilm releases X-S1 premium EXR 26X Superzoom

Fujifilm has announced the X-S1, a premium-grade superzoom compact. The X-S1 is part of the company's high-end 'X Series' and is built around the same 12MP 2/3" CMOS sensor as the X10 compact. Despite the comparatively large sensor, it manages to include a 26X 24-624mm equivalent F2.8-5.6 zoom lens. It also features Raw shooting, a 1.44M dot electronic viewfinder and 460,000 dot rear LCD along with a rubberized coating and metal dials to emphasize its premium 'Made in Japan' status. Camera Features:

- 26x Optical Zoom.

- 12 megapixel EXR CMOS sensor.

- Large EVF with 1.44 million pixels and 26 degree viewing angle.

- Full HD video.

- PASM modes.

- Raw file format.

- Optical image stabilization.

- 360° Motion Panorama mode.

Richard Franiec offers accessory grip for Canon S100

Accessory grip maker Richard Franiec has announced an add-on grip for the Canon PowerShot S100. The grip differs from his existing wrap-around designs to avoid blocking the port door on the side of the camera. Instead the raised, textured design mounts on the front plate of the camera, over its existing hand-grip. The accessory will be available from late November at a cost of $29.95.

Tamron SP AF 60mm f/2 Di II LD IF Macro 1:1

Our lens review for today is the Tamron SP AF 60mm f/2 Di II LD IF Macro 1:1. The APS-C version of the popular Tamron 90mm macro, the 60mm is smaller, and offers a fast f/2 aperture, and according to Tamron, a longer working distance for 1:1 reproduction - 100mm. The focal length and fast aperture also make it a great portrait lens.

Casio Japan announces Exilim EX-ZR200 CMOS

compact superzoom

Casio Japan has announced the Exilim EX-ZR200, a 16MP compact superzoom with a back-lit CMOS sensor. No details of a US or European launch have yet been given but, with its 24-300mm equivalent zoom lens and 30fps full resolution shooting and PASM modes, it's extremely likely it will replace the EX-ZR100. Like the ZR100, it can shoot 1080p30 movies with H.264 compression. It also features multi-image modes to capture ultra-wide angle shots and create background blur.

Olympus 45mm f/1.8 ED M.Zuiko

The Olympus 45mm ƒ/1.8 m.Zuiko is a very sharp lens. Wide open at ƒ/1.8, the central region of the image is tack-sharp, with very light corner softness; there's not much difference in stopping down to ƒ/2, but by ƒ/2.8, the lens is as sharp as sharp gets. It's sharp all the way through to ƒ/16, where a slight hint of diffraction limiting is present, but it's still really sharp even at this aperture. At ƒ/22 there is only very slight softness across the frame. This single-focal-length portrait lens has a beautiful shallow depth of field which allows for background blurring effects that are not possible with the 14-42mm kit zoom lens. The Movie-Still-Compatible (MSC) mechanism utilizes nearly ―silent‖ focusing technology. It is great for tracking a moving child or pet, and provides a quick and silent focus mechanism for movies and still photography.

Back In Time- who

Invented the Camera?

It is believed that the very idea of creating such a device appeared long ago, before the middle ages. An Arab mathematician named Ibn Al-Haytham created the first model of camera, but the principle of its building was well known even earlier, in Aristotle period. The first photograph was an image produced in the 1820s by the French inventor Nicéphore Niépce on a polished pewter plate covered with a petroleum derivative called bitumen of Judea. Produced with a camera, the image required an eight-hour exposure in bright sunshine.

SIGMA 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC HSM F/SONY, F/PENTAX

The Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the new Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC HSM for Sony, and for Pentax. This large aperture standard zoom lens is designed for digital SLR cameras and covers a focal length from 17mm wide angle. It is a compact lens with an overall length of just 91.8mm (3.6‖). This lens offers a large aperture of F2.8 throughout the entire zoom range, making it ideal for many types of photography such as portraiture and landscapes. Two FLD (―F‖ Low Dispersion) glass elements, which have performance equal to fluorite glass, compensate for color aberration. Two glass mold and one hybrid aspherical lens, provide excellent correction for field curvature and astigmatism. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghost. This lens has superior peripheral brightness and provides sharp, high contrast images even at the maximum apertures. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. Incorporating HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), the lens provides fast and quiet AF. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 28cm (11‖) throughout the entire zoom range and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5. The rounded 7 blade diaphragm creates an attractive blur to the out of focus images. The inner focusing system eliminates front lens rotation, making the lens particularly suitable for use with the supplied petal-type lens hood and circular polarizing filters. 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM for Sony .

Photoshop trainer and author Scott Kelby has published an ‗open letter‘ to Adobe requesting it re-thinks its product upgrade policy. The company, in a recent blog post about its ‗Creative Cloud‘ online computing service, revealed that it will only allow owners of the most recent versions of Photoshop and Creative Suite to upgrade to the CS6 versions, when they become available. This moves away from its traditional position of allowing owners of the previous three versions a discounted upgrade. The company is offering a 20% discount for these owners to bring themselves up-to-date in time for the policy change.

Bose introduces first HTS with HDMI connections FRAMINGHAM, Massachusetts – Bose Corp. has launched its first two Lifestyle home theatre systems (HTS) to have HDMI connections, built-in video transcending and up scaling, and a media console that not only allows connectivity with other-brand applications and components, but tucks neatly out of sight when not in use. They are the first Lifestyle systems that carry an AM/FM tuner, but not integrated music and video sources such as CD player or DVD player. Consumers may add any source component including HDMI-connected HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc players. Both new products are 5.1-channel systems featuring two HDMI 1.2a inputs, and one HDMI 1.2a output. They are both capable of transcending video from connected S-, composite-, and component-video sources to HDMI, and can upscale those sources to 1080p resolution. Both systems also feature Bose Link to allow their use in up to a 14-room audio network. An optional wireless transmitter and receiver kit allows cordless connection for up to eight rooms. The main difference between the two systems is the use of Bose ‗Jewel Cube‘ speakers in the V30 unit.

If you can afford it, you probably already have a nice 3D TV at your home and a pair of glasses to help you watch awesome 3D movies and even TV channels. Have you ever wondered how does it work?

But how do they film 3D movies? The film makers need to sync the moment very good, the distance, the height and the angle so that it would seem that the movie has been made using real human sight, from two positions. As I understand it, it‘s like having two cameras, one could represent the left eye when you close the right eye and another one could represent the right eye when you close the left one. In the end, 3D is all about recreating our natural vision and the trying to reproduce what nature has already done for us.

When it comes down to computer graphics that are used to make movies like Toy Story 3 or any other 3D animation, the creators have to make two different versions of each frame; with specific perspective for the left and right eye. The advantage is that it‘s easier to synchronize the images but it takes more time to polish them.
