A keen Mac fan decided to put his old Mac to good use for his cat, he equipped it with a ventilation system that’s triggered by a motion detector. Here’s the clever part, five minutes after the cat uses the ‘facility’, the fan switches on for fifteen minutes (as prompted by the Mac Mini home automation system that the litter box is connected to). That’s what I call geeky but genius! I wonder if the cat might just find the new loo a bit scary…
Hey folks, remember the LG Viewty? It was just this time last year when we spoke about it and it was probably one of the first few high megapixel touch screen phones by LG to launch in the UK. What it was renowned for was its success in high quality camera and video recording functionality and one very exclusive feature, the ability to directly upload onto YouTube.
Now a year later, we have the Viewty’s successor, the KC910…
The KC910 boasts a 3″ WQVGA 240×400 pixel display that is fully touchscreen. The camera is a ISO1600 8MP camera with Schneider-Kreuznach optics, digital zoom, image stabiliser and geotagging. The video camera has VGA capability at 30fps and QVGA capability at 120fps and DivX and Xvid. Connectivity is important, with HSDPA connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi and and TV-out support. It can also take SD cards with a capacity up to 8GB.
We will definitely look forward to seeing how it’s release next month will turn out, meanwhile we will try to retrieve our own KC910 for some live shots and a review of our own.
Hopefully the KC910 will be a much better version of the Viewty, in particular the added WiFi feature and how well this massive 3″ display will work in conjunction with these new features is what I’m interested in. In terms of the camera, I would expect a great deal of quality simply based on what I’ve seen from its predecessor and with a capacity of up to 8GB, that’s not too far away from what I expect from a new phone these days. All in all, I do expect a great deal from this new and hopefully much improved phone, meanwhile here are some pictures and a demo video…
Hey gamers! Check out what HP has to offer with their latest Laser Gaming Mouse, it seems to me this mice has been well thought and designed with a number of attractive features purposefully to counter the competition of this type accessory that’s rapidly rising in the market these days.
As you can see the HP Laser Gaming Mouse is a gaming specialist and comes equipped with five programmable buttons. On-the-fly DPI switching (400 to 2,400), a maximum 50Hz polling rate and adjustable profile settings, priced at $60 USD, that’s not too bad for a badboy that looks as tough and sexy as it does.
Gizmodo’s Matt has just tested out the EFiX USB dongle on his gaming pc and the results are smooth and incredible. I think the EFiX USB dongle would be a great addition especially to those PC users who have never tried out a Mac before (and there are lots out there), using the dongle would make such a big step a much easier one.
No messing about with OS installation, no time wasted, simply install the EFiX dongle and boot up and you will automatically be brought into Leopard OS by default. I did find a video on YouTube but its not in any great detail, so I suggest you go and visit the video review by Matt using our source link below.
When you see the word: Swype, you will probably think about something like a swipe card, possibly the latest technology in swipe bank cards / debit cards?
I’m afraid it’s not related to that, but something even better! Check out Swype, possibly the next generation of input for text messaging created by the very same people who brought us T9 predictive text messaging, included in most phone models. Swype will soon to be released into the market in future phones.
Swype will let you swipe your finger across the keyboard when writing. No more lifting your fingers, no more pressing the wrong letters. It will even have support for stylus too, so you will be kind of ice-skating on the surface of your handset. There’s predictive text too and there are lots of editing choices.
You just got to love that OLED display on the Nokia N85, if you’ve watched the video of the N85 we featured recently then you will absolutely enjoy looking at these pics. With a 2.6” Active Matrix OLED display of contrast ratio more than 1:1000, you can easily tell from the pics which phone has got the more attractive screen…
