March 16, 2010
Microsoft isn't shying away from the webcam industry with a trio of new models that will propel Microsoft into the High Definition era. With the HD-5000 and HD-5001 targeting desktops while the HD-6000 heads for notebooks, all three are able to capture an actual 720p widescreen (1,280 x 720 resolution) image, where the final product is highly enhanced with a new color correction engine known as TrueColor. that is made possible thanks to a mix of hardware and software which will go about adjusting color tones, exposure and various factors in order to represent the output in less-than-ideal conditions properly. Both the HD-5000 and HD-5001 will come with an adjustable base as well as true autofocus, retailing for $50 each. As for the HD-6000, that model is notebook-friendly with a specialized clip and a 360-degree mount, arriving later that May for $10 more. [Press Release]

MSI GE700 gaming notebook
March 15, 2010
MSI is back with a bang, thanks to their new GE700 gaming notebook which features Intel's latest Core i5 processor, the able ATI Radeon HD 5730 discrete graphics card with 1GB DDR3 VRAM, a couple of cinema-class speakers, a subwoofer, a High Definition webcam that keeps up with the times alongside the ability to hold a couple of hard drives. When chugging along at full processing potential, expect the MSI GE700 to drain its battery super fast. Aesthetically speaking, the GE700 is pleasing on the eyes particularly with its luminescent touch hotkeys with shortcut keys that makes activation of various technologies including GPU Boost, Cinema Pro and Multimedia Control a snap.

Wacom tablet turns into Cintiq clone
March 15, 2010
Interesting - Lesa Wright has begun to sell enclosure kits which can turn a regular Wacom tabet into a Cintiq clone, and there are kits for a quartet of different models. The kit alone is not complete since you will need to pick up additional parts including a compatible notebook LCD display, a controller kit and a handful of cable extenders. Retailing for around $225 for the kit, it does sound rather expensive at first but the satisfaction of seeing your handiwork working is more than satisfactory.

March 14, 2010
With Apple’s iPad getting all the headlines recently, it seems that the folks by at Toshiba don’t want to be left out of the tablet party, and Jeff Barney, head of Toshiba’s U.S. notebook business, has said that the company is planning to introduce a line of consumer slates (tablet computers) in late 2010 or early 2011. While the market is getting increasingly flooded by the introduction of tablet devices by various manufacturers, we certainly wouldn’t mind one more. After all, more competition means more innovation and lower prices, right?

Empower rocking chair keeps energy for future use
March 9, 2010
Ryan Klinger has come up with the Empower rocking chair that is made up of a flat-pack chair of tubes as well as a sling seat which folds out to a bench-style glider seat. Since the rocking mechanism is connected to a gearbox, DC generator, voltage controller and lithium battery, that means all kinetic energy generated can be used later on. All energy is converted through the use of a DC/AC inverter and can be accessed by a USB or standard potential outlet in order for it to be connected to other devices in dire need of juice, including a notebook, MP3 player or other gizmos.
