I haven’t been able to think of one reason why you would need a range of 40 KM / 25 Miles for a KVM switch, although obviously some people have found a reason for it and have had to pay a lot for this. The fact that on the Think Logical website, their is no pricing information, only ordering information suggests that your going to have very deep pockets in order to afford this.
The Think Logical VelocityKVM can pipe two 920 x 1200 DVI signals, USB 1.1 (USB 2.0 is optional), serial, PS2, stereo audio up to 40 KM over single-mode fiber, without any loss in the quality.
Microsoft obvisouly don’t a repeat of last years Christmas holiday, if you didn’t hear about it, over the Christmas holiday, xBox live was used so much that it caused connection problems for most of it users, the people who just got a new xBox 360 + Live for Christmas weren’t able to play it online, the service went down for two whole weeks before Microsoft were able to bring it back online.
According to Aaron Greenberg, who is Microsofts xBox 360 product manager “Microsoft is well prepared for the type of growth we expect this holiday and that more Live staffers than ever before will be on hand to fix things if things do go bonkers.”
Hopefully this wont be a repeat of last-year!
Most people have always looked at the ultimate ears headphone range, although this new product doesn’t just look great, it also comes with a built in microphone which you can use with an iPhone and some Blackberry models.
These headphones will send out frequencies as low as 10Hz and as high as 74kHz, most of us would love a pair of these amazing headphones, although not many of us are willing to pay $420 for a pair of headphones, although surprisingly, a lot of people do pay this much for a pair of headphones!
If you are interested about ultimate ears headphones or other products, or even buying these headphones, check out the website http://www.ultimateears.com
Once in a while, air related work is ahead of schedule, it doesn’t happen very often, but it has today, Delta has confirmed that they have finished testing the in-flight WiFi and are going to install it to 2,000 planes by the end of 2009. They have installed it some Virgin America planes, but these are the only planes to have confirmed Wi-Fi at this time.
I’ve found this is a great step forward for Wi Fi, first it was becoming popular in certain coffee cafes, then McDonald’s and now on flights, the question I’d like to know is: Will Wi-Fi coverage soon be all over the world? Will you be able to walk down the road on your iPhone and connect to a Wi-Fi connection, anywhere.
It must of gone though everyone’s mind at one point, what if my laptop was stolen, now most people protect their accounts with a password and encypt their DATA, although this isn’t engouth, the thief is still able to sell the laptop, Eircsson and Intel are developing a tracker within a laptop, which allows the owner of the laptop to disable the laptop via remote-SMS.
This means your not only able to find out where your laptop is via GPS, you can also shut the laptop off so it’s no use to the thief what’s so ever. They are hoping to be able to ship at least one product with this technology in it around the middle of 2009.
The new iHome’s product, a iH15W iPod stereo; Which contains a Subwoofer and a LED colour system, which will change colour randomly throughout play-time. As far as anyone knows, the color depends on the track, for example a more depressing song may have lighter-colours, or a girly-song might have a pink/purple colour. If you can afford to buy one of these and you are looking for some home iPod speakers, I’d suggest getting this speaker system, it’s worth it. Although you are looking at paying $59.99 but if you are willing to pay that much, check out the website here.
One of the great things about games is, your able to do very stupid things in the game and not be hurt in real life, for example crashing a car into a wall 100MPH, it would kill you if you didn’t have your seatbelt on, so during games, we dont need to care about our physcial safety gaming wise, but TN games has released information on the “gaming helmet”, which will allow you feel the game physicly.
Over 2008, the size of notebooks has been decreasing, this 14inch Notepad is definitly portable, the height of the laptop while closed is about the same as ink-pen, now with a lot of small notepads, you don’t have very good specs, in the Zpeto Notus A12, you’ve got 800MHZ intel processer, 1GB of DDR2 RAM and a 80GB hard drive (4,200RPM), gigabit Ethernet, wifi and all the useal ports, USB etc.
This is probably one of the top small-notebooks out, although it will cost you $1,360 to buy, if you need to transport a laptop/notebook around with you daily, I think it’s worth the money, for exmaple if you need to travel long-distances every day to get to work and back, this is a light-small notebook which will suite your needs fine!
You can find out more about this Notebook on the Zepto website, here.
Most of the Sony Ericson walkman phones are brilliant, although this one takes everything to a new level, as you slide the phone open, it’s a phone, as you slide it down (Closed) you’ve got a number of great music features and it acts as a MP3 player.
It’s quite a small phone, measuring at 75×44x11MM, it comes with a 8 megapixel camera and a wide VGA displays for a small 320×240 display screen, the phone also comes in with a 4GB hard drive built in. It’s a brilliant walkman / phone with a very nice smooth design and look to it.
