Sony Fusion Table Slides Open To Reveal Workstation
March 9, 2010
As computers continue to work their way into every aspect of out lives, it’s not surprising to see someone try to integrate a computer into the humble coffee table, albeit it looks different from Microsoft Surface. that concept is dubbed the Sony Fusion, and aims to fuse both technology and furniture. At a glance, it’s just a sleek coffee table, but push a button, and the table will slide open to reveal a workstation with a touch sensitive keyboard, and adjustable screen. The LED outlined keyboard and DVD drive on the side of the table additionally do their part to construct that design look classy. After it goes into production, it will be available in three different colors (blue, white and red), and will set you back $3,000.

Verayo Touts Unclonable RFID Chips
March 9, 2010
When a safety measure company comes out and announces that its next-generation RFID ICs are unclonable, you can be certain that the company will attract a lot of attention, though the question is whether the attention is the desired type (potential customers), or the undesired type (folks who want to crack such safety measure measures). The first chip of the new product family, boasting the company’s Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) technology, will be the Vera M4H, which can deliver defense to mass transit tickets, secure IDs, access cards and many other things. It sports a non-networked, unlimited authentication feature, which should help offer the defense needed, with significant cost benefits. The M4H is currently available for mass production, while the other RFID ICs in the product family will be available later that year. Do you think that there is such a thing as an unclonable chip, or is it just a wishful boast?

Taiwan taxis to get WiMAX connection
March 5, 2010
The next moment you step foot in Taiwan, you might want to check out any of the 1,000 taxis that offer free Net services thanks to a groundbreaking application of WiMAX technology. VMAX Telecom Co. will roll out that World Wide Web service officially from March 9th onwards, and while it is free at the moment, an assessment will be made as whether to change that policy later on for an undisclosed fee. Do you think that you badly need Wi-Fi connectivity on your way from the airport to the hotel during a business trip?

Sun ability Technology mini-notebook
March 4, 2010
Just when you thought that netbooks and Mobile Net Devices (MIDs) were the smallest category mobile computing machines out there, along comes Sun ability Technology with their, well, device which falls under no man's land. After all, it comes with a 4.8" touchscreen display at 800 x 480 resolution, a QWERTY keyboard, 512MB RAM, flash memory, Wi-Fi connectivity and a battery life which is good for up to 2 hours. Tipping the scales at 1.8 pounds, the QWERTY keyboard looks rather redundant since it isn't large decent for comfortable touch typing, but is more suited for a pair of thumbs. What is that, a thigh book?

NVIDIA Optimus hands-on demo, literally
March 3, 2010
In that video an Matt Wuebling (the product manager for NVIDIA's Ion) demonstrate that when not in use, the GPU is completely turned off using the Optimus Technology. In fact, it is so turned off, that it can be removed from a live system - and put back. To know more about NVIDIA's Optimus, head to our previous post. NVIDIA just launched the next generation Ion yesterday. Don’t try that at home, but that is worth a visit.

Fujitsu PalmSecure LT Just Launched
March 1, 2010
Fujitsu has just launched a more cost-effective device using its PalmSecure technology that reads a palm's veins pattern to identify individuals. whether you wonder, the blood has to circulate so cutting a hand like it is sometimes shown in movies won't work with that. We don't really consider that to be a consumer device, but Fujitsu hopes to gain market share, thanks to a lower price point (how much precisely, is unknown at posting time). PalmSecure is designed to be integrated in computing environments where a biometric recognition would replace many passwords, just like a master password and something like Roboform would do, except that you can't forget your password.

MagiTact for hands-free phone control
February 24, 2010
Multitouch? That's so yesterday, whether MagiTact catches on. that different application relies on your handset's built-in compass to track changes in the magnetic field around it. The aftereffect of that technological wizardry is the ability to access a range of gesture-based commands including silencing a ringing phone or terminating a shout without needing to lift a finger to contact said device physically - as expanded as you wear one of them magnetic rings on your fingers. How about performing the pinch-to-zoom operate right behind the phone? The technology isn't perfect though, with a 90% success rate so you won't see multitouch checking out anytime soon.
