Orb MyCasting – I’ve seen the Future!
What is a MyCast from Orb? Well they have a great description and many details on their website so I won’t go into the details. But let it suffice to say that with this software, running on my home PC, I can view all of my videos, podcasts, music files, photos, and anything that’s either […]
No wonder!
No wonder it took 5 years for Windows Vista to be released…
High-Tech Golfball Finder
I know some of my friends could make good use of this gadget… The BallFinder scout is the perfect accessory for golfers who want an easier way to locate a lost ball. It scans “up to 600 square feet in one second or almost 1/7 of an acre in 10 seconds.†That’s not all, “each […]
The Inflating Flashbag
A USB flash drive that inflates as you fill it with data…. Designed by Dima Komissarov, the Flashbag is a USB storage device that inflates as it “fills up with dataâ€. Currently, the technology is patent pending. No word yet on if the Flashbag will go into produciton. Why??
Origami UMPC runs Linux!
The Ultra Mobile PC, Microsoft’s new ultra-ultra-portable personal computer, apparently has a few new tricks up its sleeve that Microsoft neglected to tell anyone. In their testing of a prototype UMPC, UMPCOrigami found that Samsung’s engineers, awaiting the “official†operating system from Microsoft, had taken matters into their own hands and installed Linux in Windows’ […]
Ultimate Quake 3 Setup
How about playing Quake 3 on a 24 monitor wall? Yes, that’s exactly what the guys over at plastk did by running the game on a 12-node Linux cluster with two monitors per server. This is just plain crazy. The bevel between the monitors detracts a little from the effect but it’s still a lot […]
Web Developer Extension
I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Web Developer extension for Firefox but damn is it ever cool! The fact that you can visually display where CSS tags or blocks or divs or classes or whatever start and end is amazing. Want to see what colour and type that font is? Just turn […]
FireAnt: Better than Television
FireAnt is my new application for synchronizing podcasts and video casts. The nicest thing about it is its channel directory and its built-in media player. FireAnt delivers a rich media experience through a simple to use, unified viewer that lets you watch all types of content without having to worry about which format it is […]
ZenView Command Center Elite
Ok, I want this! With six 24″ flat panel displays that feature 1920×1200 resolution (5760×2400 combined) and 1000:1 contrast ratio, the ZenView is truly an elite command center. Each panel includes five digital DVI-D inputs, analog RGB/VGA input, and an S-Video input. The only weak link is its price. For $11,999 you can either buy […]
Microsoft Origami Project
I’m not a huge fan of carrying around heavy devices, such as a laptop. My blackberry (well, my company’s) is small enough but it’s still a pain to use. Apparently Microsoft is coming out with a new 7″ tablet type of device that was discovered just recently. More information is supposed to be made available […]
