Mark Wilson over at Gizmodo has been testing different Microsoft operating systems on a few laptops, in particular netbooks. At first he tried Vista but that didn’t go well at all. Then he decided to install Windows 7 on the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 simply because he had nothing to loose. The Mini 12 is a 12-inch Intel Atom netbook and his had 1GB of RAM, surprisingly its gone well for him so far, in his opinion the netbook runs Windows 7 even better than Windows Vista. Though start menu and programs would still lag, plus aero needs to be deactivated, but does this still support the fact that Microsoft has done a good job so far with improving Windows 7 beyond Vista?
I’m not too sure what the purpose of this was but this modder shows how you can use the Wii mote and an iobridge module to control a small servo mounted coil gun – a python script and MoteDaemeon bring the events into the laptop’s domain. Catch the video after the break.
For £14.95, you can now get your hands on this neat solar powered light bulb brick, thus the name glow brick. It is powered entirely from harnessing the very essence of daylight, this power is then used to produce an ethereal green spooky glow at night. Though it may not look like it, it could actually work as a children’s night light, excellent for those who are keen on energy saving.
Here’s another video for today, we’ve already featured some info on the Palm Pre but we have yet to show a proper demo of it in action so here it is folks. Probably the best function I like about the Palm Pre is that it can multitask and keep multiple applications open at the same time.
Folks over at Engadget noticed that Unify4Life will soon be releasing something quite special in April. It is called Game|Shadow and if you’re a BlackBerry user, this unique dongle will turn your BlackBerry into a Bluetooth based keypad and remote for your PS3.
