As long as you don’t have more than 5 people that wants in on the call. The base, the oval-shaped thing in the picture below, is rechargeable, and gets recharged via mini USB, which is likely the same connection that connects the nifty little box to Skype. Read The Full Story

, Dec 17th 2007 Discuss [0]

Networking access to a USB device can be tricky, not really, its actually pretty easy, but it deeply saddens me to have to leave a certain computer on all the time just to have constant access to the USB resource that’s plugged into it. Keyspan’s USB 2.0 server solves that problem, and quite simply too. Read The Full Story

Post-it plus Pocket equals Pock-it

, Nov 29th 2007 Discuss [0]

I didn’t think Post-it could go much further after the regular size, mini size, stick-it highlighters, etc… where could one possibly go from there? Looks like they found out. Read The Full Story

, Oct 22nd 2007 Discuss [1]

Not really, but HP is going to start embedding Sprint’s mobile broadband hardware into their systems. Mostly it will be the business level notebooks, but it’s a step in the right direction. They are jointly marketing the venture with HP marketing the upside of using Sprint, the fastest and largest mobile broadband network in America, and Sprint selling the merits of HP laptops to business users.

And you thought you were mad at Comcast

, Oct 19th 2007 Discuss [2]

This seemingly kind old lady got so angered with Comcast, she waltzed into their offices with their equipment in arms and then proceeded to smash it to bits, with a hammer, she bashed it all to hell. She did have a good reason though, sadly she got arrested too. So here is the scenario, you call up to get Comcast’s Comcastic Triple Play installed and set up, the first time around they, without any warning or notification, cancel your appointment. Then finally, the second time they come, but they half ass it and leave before they finished setting everything up. Read The Full Story

, Oct 17th 2007 Discuss [3]

Just when you thought the SOHO market was going sour, Toshiba has come along and dropped a couple of Multi-Function Printers just for that segment. The e-STUDIO180s and e-STUDIO200s will help your small or home office out by adding printing, scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities. The e-STUDIO180s is a black and white printer, copier, and color scanner. The e-STUDIO200s is the same thing, but add the ability to fax. Read The Full Story

Nissan 2007 Mobile Office

, Oct 16th 2007 Discuss [0]

Somehow I don’t think this is what Luda’ had in mind when he said “Roll Out”. The back of this fairly appealing vehicle rolls out to expose a lot of underwater photography gear, as well as a mobile office on the inside. Speaking of niche markets, anyways, the downside is the two are exclusive, you can’t keep the scuba gear tucked away and just use the office, you have to roll the back out in order to gain access to the office part. Overall it looks pretty amazing for a concept, or more likely proof-of-concept car. Read The Full Story

You read right, they have now bastardized the glory that is Monty Python And The Quest For The Holy Grail. First it was the red Swingline from Office Space and now this. Read The Full Story

Get beamed up with Lasse Kleins abduction lamp

Maybe you can't let go of the X-Files, perhaps you keep a copy of How to Serve Mankind on you at all times. Either way this lamp will look awesome on your desk. Designed by Lasse Klein, the alien abduction lamp uses a light bulb inside the craft to light up the windows and create a nifty tractor beam effect on the glass stand. Read The Full Story

Presentations come of age: Ventuz Technology

, Mar 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

I'd wager there are few people reading this who haven't suffered at least once from the modern malaise they call "Death by PowerPoint"  Now not wishing to unfairly malign the Microsoft presentation package - even the least forgiving audience member would grudgingly agree that it's the crapness of the presenter that kills you, not the software (and accompanying slide transitions, sound effects and ridiculous animations) - but it's a sad fact of life that where a yawn-worthy demonstration goes, their software often lurks behind. Thankfully there are companies like Ventuz Technology, who blend together touch, gesture and proximity-sensitive interfaces controlling multiple interconnected displays, with a software package that allows static and dynamically updated information to be presented in 2D and 3D.
