Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 7000

Price range: $28.37 - $65.49

The Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 is a new rechargeable desktop mouse from Microsoft which is simple, ergonomic, and stylish. The mouse is lightweight, good looking, easy to setup, and comfortable to use.

The Specifications:
Connectivity: 2.4 GHz Wireless (USB Adapter)
Power: One Rechargable AAA (with Dock)
Sensor: High Definition 850nm Laser
Other: 4-way scroll & back/forward buttons

The Buttons: - 3.5/5 starsFor a full-sized desktop mouse, I was partially disappointed to see how few buttons the mouse had. Other than the left/right click buttons the Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 only had a scroll wheel, which also functioned as a middle click, and a back/forward browser navigation buttons on the left side. The scroll wheel had no friction (no clicks) which made it slightly difficult to use with certain applications. It would have been nice if it had a switch to enable or disable the “notches” like some of the Logitech mice do. Clicking in the scroll wheel to perform a middle-click took some getting used to since I kept accidentally scrolling instead. And finally the back and forward buttons were placed high up making them hard to reach, however it wasn’t an issue after a day or two of use. I do wish they could have thrown at least a few more controls onto the mouse for faster navigation. And finally the two most important buttons, left and right click, were easy to reach, however were a bit too soft and were unusually squeaky.

Linux On The Playstation 3

The PlayStation 3 is capable of running Linux as well as other operating systems if installed on the console’s hard drive. Because it’s so powerful yet so cheap with Linux installed, it’s actually become somewhat of a favored research tool in academia. Many distributions are compatible with the console, including Yellow Dog Linux, Debian, Fedora 8, Gentoo, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu. However, this isn’t the experience for the faint of heart but definitely a cool little hobby if you are the tinker type.
Your user profiles and account information will remain on the XMB, but remember to back up any saved games or media files you want to restore after formatting the PS3 using a USB stick or an external hard disk. Your game saves are located under Game > Saved Data Utility. All downloaded games you paid for can be downloaded again without having to pay for them. They’ll be in your account history in the PS Store. Attach your PS3 to a HDTV or monitor using an HDMI (digital) or Component (5 RCA jacks) cable. Composite (yellow RCA jack) is not supported as the resolution is too low.
Before you install anything, it is most important to follow these steps:
· Connect the ethernet cable to the PS3. Be sure the network has a DHCP server on it. If this is a fresh-from-the-factory PS3, go through the setup steps as it prompts you on your first bootup, including setting the language, time, and a username for the PS3 system.
· Go to Settings, then System Settings, and choose Format Utility.
· Select Format Hard Disk, and confirm your selection twice.
· Select that you want a Custom partitioning scheme.
· Select that you want to Allot 10GB to the Other OS. This will automatically reserve the remaining disk space for the PS3’s game operating system. When finished, it will restart the system.
· When the system restarts, go to Settings then System Update. Choose Update via Internet.
· Follow the screens for the system update to download and install the latest system updates. Some screens only have cancel buttons, with no instructions on how to move forward. In order to move forward on those screens, use the X button on your controller.
· Once the PS3 restarts, it’s ready to have Linux installed on it.
Most newcomers should probably try Yellow Dog Linux (extremely helpful installation PDF) or an Ubuntu version for PS3 (incredible PS3 Ubuntu install resource) burned on a CD. For information on how to burn iso file to a cd/dvd, see this page. For install help with other Linux distros, try putting “(linux distro name) install ps3″ into Google and you should be able to figure it out from there.
Some helpful sites that I’ve found include PSUbuntu, an unbelieveably awesome Yellow Dog Linux FAQ, Wikipedia’s Linux on the PS3 article, PS3 Linux World, and more. Feel free to leave your links in a comment in this topic to help others.
Advanced users: There are several projects, like spu-medialib [sourceforge.net] and mesa3d [sourceforge.net], which accelerate PS3 graphics/video on the Cell’s SPEs. spu-medialib is actually a general framework for acceleration, while mesa3d offloads OpenGL onto the SPEs as a GPU.
There’s a narrative tutorial [linux.yes.nu] for installing the spu-medialib mplayer driver, with links to files, that plays video on the SPEs quite well, including 1080p HD videos.

Samsung: Solid state will match hard-drive price

PRICE:$100 and $600

Samsung expects solid-state drives to reach price parity with hard-disk drives within the next few years amid steep annual price declines in flash memory chips.
Solid-state drives, which use flash memory chips as the storage medium, typically offer much better performance than hard-disk drives. But they cost more. Currently, opting for an SSD instead of a hard-disk drive will add anywhere between $100 and $600 to the cost of a laptop, depending on the capacity of the SSD.
Dell's Alienware Area-51 laptop (above) and Dell's Studio XPS 16 come with a 256GB solid-state drive option(Credit: Dell)
In a phone interview, Brian Beard, flash marketing manager for Samsung Semiconductor, said reaching price parity with hard-disk drives is just a matter of time. "Flash memory in the last five years has come down 40, 50, 60 percent per year," he said. "Flash on a dollar-per-gigabyte basis will reach price parity, at some point, with hard disk drives in the next few years." Samsung makes both SSDs and HDDs.
Beard explained why a cost gap persists between solid-state drives and hard-disk drives. "The difference in cost is fundamentally very different. A hard drive has a fixed cost of $40 or $50 for the spindle, the motors, the PCB (printed circuit board), the cables," he said. "To make the hard drive spin faster (increase speed) or to add capacity doesn't really add a lot of incremental cost to the drive." (The price for most laptop-class hard-disk drives on the market is between $60 and $100 at retail, Beard said.)
"When you contrast this with SSDs, they also have a fixed cost for the PCB and the case and the controller, which is lower than the fixed cost of a hard drive," according to Beard. "But as you scale the capacity of the SSD up, the cost scales linearly. For example, if the spot price of the flash chip itself is $2, a 64GB drive is going to cost $128 just for the flash and then you would add the fixed cost of the PCB and the case, he said. So, the cost will double as you double the capacity, according to Beard.
This argument, however, works in favor of lower solid-state drive pricing too--as flash memory prices drop and densities and capacities increase. And Beard added that "there's a lot of pressure for OEMs (PC makers) to match the price to the traditional pricing in the hard-drive industry." Samsung is also a PC maker and faces the same pressures.
And what will happen to the price of SSDs this year? "The rest of the year is quite unpredictable. Because the SSD price is directly tied to the price of flash, no one knows. Everyone is just giving their best guess as to what will happen in the flash market," he said. To date, flash memory prices have dropped so much that chipmakers can't make money.
"Every major flash manufacturer posted major losses in Q4. So flash and SSD manufacturers are under a lot of pressure to make a profit," Beard said.
Where is the price-per-gigabyte sweet spot for solid-state drives going to be later this year? "On the business side, the sweet spot is 64(GB) moving to 128. On the consumer side it's definitely 128 moving to 256," he said.
Samsung SSDs with a capacity of 256GB have been shipping since January. Dell offers these drives in some laptop models already. 256GB drives are just now "rolling out into mass production," Beard said. "We'll start shipping it to some of our smaller customers about right now."
Note: Currently, on a Dell Studio XPS 16, opting for a 128GB SSD instead of a 7200rpm 320GB HDD adds $200 to the price of the system. Opting for a 256GB SSD adds $400.

Epson introduces PowerLite G5000 installation projectors

PRICE:$2499

Epson America Inc. launched Monday the Epson PowerLite G5000, the latest in Epson's line of installation projectors designed to provide flexibility, performance and easy installation for executive boardrooms and educational institutions.
Offering XGA (Extended Graphics Array) resolution and 4,000 lumens white light output and 4,000 lumens color light output, the network-ready PowerLite G5000 utilizes 3LCD technology to deliver advanced image quality and visual presentations, Epson said in a statement.
The PowerLite G5000 provides easy installation using greater positioning flexibility with a centered lens design, vertical/horizontal lens shift mechanism, and Quick Corner, an adjustment tool allowing for individual corner manipulation to fit the image to the screen.
This new projector is also engineered to interface and integrate with programming and controller applications, as well as work with modules and drivers for systems, including touch-panel screens and multiple content devices.
Epson offers an array of image capture and image output products for the consumer, business, photography, and graphic arts markets. The company is also a supplier of value-added point-of-sale (POS) printers and transactions terminals for the retail market.
Founded in 1975, Epson America Inc. is the U.S. affiliate of Japan-based Seiko Epson Corporation, a global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality technology products that meet customer demands for increased functionality, compactness, systems integration and energy efficiency. Epson America Inc. is headquartered in Long Beach, California.
"The PowerLite G5000 represents Epson's commitment to creating high-quality projection technology that produces astounding quality, reliability and precision control," said Edgar Jimenez, associate product manager, Epson Projection, Epson America. "The easy maintenance and low cost of ownership features, coupled with powerful projection technology, make this an ideal choice for cost-sensitive installations that require professional performance."
To assist with greater flexibility, the Epson PowerLite G5000 provides Epson Easy Management, as well as RJ-45 connectivity, which gives system administrators the power to remotely monitor and control the projector through the network. In addition, the projector offers one-touch filter replacement for convenient maintenance, saving time even on installed units, and easy side lamp access for quick lamp replacements, all resulting in a low total cost of ownership (TCO).
The Epson PowerLite G5000 features Epson 3LCD Technology which uses Epson's latest, 3-Chip LCD optical engine to deliver amazing color and detail for powerful presentations. 3LCD technology also provides true-to-life image quality using an optical engine that works without a spinning color wheel so there's no possibility of "rainbows" or color break-up, delivering true-to-life color registration, as well as crisp and detailed video and data images. The Epson PowerLite G5000 also features closed captioning which offers built-in closed captioning decoder which makes presentations accessible to viewers with hearing impairments with no added cost.
The Epson PowerLite G5000 also features flexible lens positioning which offers centered lens design, vertical and horizontal lens shift mechanism and 1.8x wider zoom standard lens allow integrators to easily position the projector and screen in any environment. It also features adjustable image through the Quick Corner, which allows for individual corner manipulation in order to fit an image to the screen, even in difficult installation locations, and includes a 30-degree tilt operation for single off-axis installation.
The Epson PowerLite G5000 also offers high contrast ratio which offers a 1000:1 contrast ratio for greater shadow detail, and direct on and off for powering an installed projector on and off with a flip of a power switch.
The Epson PowerLite G5000 comes at an estimated street price of US$ 2,499, and is currently available through national resellers, pro audio/visual dealers, mail order, and distribution.

LSI Corp. announced that its line of Tarari T1000 content processors support an expanded range of embedded multicore processors. In addition to Intel and AMD x86 processors, the T1000 can be coupled to other processors such as the RMI XLR Processor and XLS Processor lines of multicore processors, enabling low-overhead, deep packet inspection at multi-gigabit data transfer rates.
In addition to previously announced support for PCI Express and PCI interfaces, the T1000 provides full cross-packet inspection in hardware for PCI-X systems operating at data rates up to 3 Gb/s (gigabits-per-second).
LSI of Milpitas, California, a provider of silicon, systems and software technologies that enable products which seamlessly bring people, information and digital content together. The company offers a portfolio of capabilities and services including custom and standard product ICs, adapters, systems and software.
The LSI Tarari content processor line is a comprehensive set of solutions providing security, quality of service, content-based billing and bandwidth management functions for high-speed networks. Tarari solutions support common industry interfaces and a common application programming interface, resulting in shorter design cycles and faster time to market.
"The RMI XLR Processor family of MIPS64 multicore, multithreaded processors has already secured a number of design wins when coupled with the T1000," said Mark Litvack, director of business development, RMI Corporation. "Now that both PCIe and PCI-X bus support are available, our customers can take advantage of our full range of XLS and XLR processor families."
The T1000 series allows networking OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) to develop a single content processing solution for the entire performance spectrum, from entry-level to high-end systems. Using the same regular expression rules, OEMs can deploy any device in the LSI content processor product portfolio without significant additional effort, saving engineering expense and shortening time to market.
"The addition of PCI-X to the T1000 series opens up a new market of embedded applications," said Randy Smerik, senior vice president, Network Components Division, LSI. "Now, more OEMs can deploy a wider range of multicore processors by designing systems that provide more intelligence, better control and tighter security than ever before."
In addition to providing real-time performance, Tarari solutions offload the system CPU (central processing unit). Designers have the option to reduce CPU clock frequency or to decrease system cost and cut power consumption by using fewer CPU cores.
LSI Tarari T1000 support for PCI-X is available now.

Onkyo's new TX-SR607 receiver goes where no sound component has ever gone before by providing Dolby Pro Logic IIz, which gives you vertically-oriented sound in addition to the normal surround sound.
The vertical sound field is created by two speakers which sit above the television, and will provide a noticeable effect in situations where something like an airplane flyover is on screen. The 7.2 system features 90 watts of power per channel, Dolby True HD and DTS-HD support, plus HDMI switching with 1080p support for Deep Color and x.v.Color.

Wolfking’s Warrior Xxtreme gets reviewed

Are you ready for a blast of the obvious? If so, head on down to the read link and take a look at Extreme Tech's review of the Warrior Xxtreme. Wolfking's latest gamepad is obviously aiming at a smallish niche, and while it proved to be quite the device to have while gaming, it's not exactly the easiest thing to pound out a dissertation on. 'Course, we sincerely hope you didn't expect anything other than precisely those results, and it should be noted that Wolfking did a swell job of catering to righties and southpaws alike. Overall, we've serious doubts that touch-typists will be keen on swapping out their ergonomic split 'board for this thing, but hunt-and-peckers that spend the majority of their time in WoW raids may find lots to love.

Backpack Has Speakers, Stormtrooper Styling

The Reppo II Backpack is a product design by Joonas Saaranen. As you may be able to tell being the astute observer that I know you are, it's a hardshell backpack with speakers. It was designed with those people in mind that want to subject you to their music no matter how much it sucks. Like Captain Deaf of the USS Busted Eardrums I had to sit next to on the bus yesterday. He was wearing headphones, but he had the volume up so loud the whole bus could probably hear. I mean WTF? I was going to grab his iPod and smash it, but I knew that things would work themselves out. And you know what? I was right. He got mugged after getting off at his stop. Poor bastard, no more music for him. Say, speaking of music -- I've got a nice iPod for sale. Great condition, comes with a pair of really loud headphones

Nokia's aeon "full surface screen" cellphone concept Price:$ 399.00

Nokia's research and development team have kicked it up a gear with an attractive "aeon" concept phone showing up in the R&D section of the company's website. The most prominent design feature of aeon is a touchscreen that stretches over the full surface area of the phone, similar to BenQ-Siemens's Black box concept phone we saw recently. Currently mobile technology isn't quite up to realizing this fantasy, but we'll sleep better tonight knowing that at least one of the cellphone industry's biggest names shares the same dream as we do -- BenQ's dream didn't count, unfortunately.

Latest Mobile: Black Berry Storm

Phone typeCandy bar
Height112.5 mm
Width62.2 mm
Depth14 mm
Weight155 grams

The BlackBerry® Storm™ smartphone is Research In Motion's first full touchscreen mobile phone and on the surface, it's just another one to add to the ever growing list available. However, the Storm™ has gone in its own direction and features innovations not found anywhere else, plus the draw of the awesome email capabilities of a BlackBerry® mobile cannot be underestimated. Read on to see why the Storm™ was one of the most anticipated mobile phone releases of the year!Features at a Glance
A 3.2" touchscreen with a 360x480 resolution and SurePress™ technology.
Built-in Assisted GPS with BlackBerry® Maps installed.
A 3.2 megapixel camera.
Music and video player.
The Storm™ is 3G with HSDPA support.
1GB of internal memory and a microSD slot compatible with 8GB card. Why You Should Buy the Storm™
The BlackBerry® Storm™ is running version 4.7 of the BlackBerry® OS, which has been enhanced to become more finger friendly. What is good however, is how little the experience has changed from other recent BlackBerrys®, you have the regular shortcut keys on the home screen and either by pressing the screen or the handy BlackBerry® button below it takes you to the full menu as usual. Alongside the BlackBerry® menu key are the call and back keys, however, one could also call the entire screen a key all by itself! This is because of SurePress™, a system which means you actually have to press the screen down to select a function, resulting in a soft click.
At first, this can be a little disconcerting and it will take a while to become fully acquainted with it, however once you are you'll appreciate the level of feedback this system provides. BlackBerry® have also thought about the text input too, something which is so important to the overall BlackBerry® experience. Holding the phone normally gives you the SureType™ style keypad familiar to anyone who has used a BlackBerry® Pearl™ smartphone, but by turning the phone on its side - and letting the accelerometer adjust the screen automatically - a full QWERTY keyboard is displayed to make tapping out messages much more natural. DataViz is installed which allows you to edit most popular documents and then send them on too.
Like many other touchscreen phones, a swipe of your finger scrolls around pages or through your picture gallery and just as before, the BlackBerry® key brings up the menu so anyone used to a BlackBerry® OS will be at home here, while new users will be quick to adjust. The Storm™ is a 3G device and has support for HSDPA plus EDGE and GPRS, so web browsing on the move is as fast as currently possible, plus the BlackBerry® browser has been given a tweak or two and is better than previous incarnations. Of course, this being a BlackBerry® means it excels at anything email related and connects quickly and simply to just about any network you can think of.
Away from the business side of the Storm™, you have the 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with an LED flash, a very capable music and video player, a 3.5mm jack plug for your own headphones and the Assisted GPS receiver complete with BlackBerry® Maps.

Top Mobile: O2 Ice White

Price:(£99 PAYG)

The Ice, exclusive to O2 is, as you may have gathered, white. In fact, I’d describe the colour as pure brilliant white – like the paint. It is tall and thin, and I have to say, rather elegant in design. The phone tapers at both the top and bottom edges, which makes a nice change from blockier handset designs and permits a couple of curves to creep in. When you add in the unusual rounded shaping of the number pad buttons, the call and end keys and the soft menu keys and the net result is a distinctive and not unpleasant handset.
When you buy a mobile for its looks you really need a matching Bluetooth earpiece, especially when your handset is cool white, right? Buy O2’s Ice online and that’s what you’ll get, the headset being worth £49.99, at least according to the company’s web site.

MY review Ice didn’t have this little extra in its box, but I did get a pair of white headphones. These incorporate a blue O2 flash on each earbud, which will allow the eagle-eyed to spot that you are using O2 kit and not any other, ‘trendywhite’ hardware.
It is one of the little let-downs of this handset that the headset connects to the phone via a 2.5mm jack. O2 has come close to offering owners the opportunity to use their own headset with the phone, but stepped back from the brink at the last minute. Yes, you could use a 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter plug, but this is an unwieldy solution and with the headphone socket located on the left edge of the Ice, one that is very awkward for the pocket.
The phone actually isn’t just white. There are some small splashes of colour such as green and red markings on the Call and End buttons, a circle of silver in the centre of the navigation button, markings on the number pad and so on, but the predominant whiteness is clearly this handset’s defining feature.
Usability has not been sacrificed for design. All the keys are slightly raised from the fascia, well spaced and very easy to hit. The navigation button, though small, is also easy to use.
