Intel interactive and real-time news visualizer

post from Ubergizmo on 08 January 2010 10:48:57 AM. © Ubergizmo

[CES 2010] Intel Research was showing an interactive (and real-time) news visualizer. It consists of almost 200 rotating cubes that each represents one piece of news from an array of media sources. Each cube has one photo originating from the article it represents. Users can use the touch screen to select a cube to get more information about the content, although we could not actually read the article in this demo. It’s just a concept, so don’t expect a product out of it, but it’s really nice to look at. We’ll try to snap a video later.

Samsung Stylish And Rugged Hard Drives

Samsung has announced its line of stylish and rugged hard drives at CES 2010. You’ll be able to pick them up in 3 different physical sizes, 1.8”, 2.5” and 3.5”. The drive should be tough enough for it to survive drops and also getting liquids spilt on top of it. The G2 portable will be offering hard drive sizes from 250GB to 640GB, whilst the G3 station will be offering 1-2TB capacities. One of the nicer features of the G3 is that it will switch itself off when the computer is off and it’s not in use. Will this be your next portable hard drive? Press release.

Convert Your Vinyl Albums To Modern-day CDs

Have you been dreaming of converting your library of old cassette tapes, vinyl albums and such into CDs? Well, now you can do it, with the Crosley Songwriter, which looks real nostalgic, but will be able to do the job of playing the music from your old media, and recording them to a CD. The Songwriter has a three-speed turntable, cassette player, AM/FM radio, and a CD playback/recording unit and will be going for $399.

Google Introduces Local Search For Mobile

Want to find a coffee store near you? Well, if it’s related to search, you can be sure that Google wants a piece of the pie, and now Google has introduced local search for the iPhone and Android phones. When you’re at Google’s page on your mobile browser, just hit the “near me now” link to bring up search results that are nearby you. It looks like with this, we shouldn’t have trouble looking for the closest ATM or coffee joint anymore. Will we lose our sense of adventure over time, especially since we’re getting more and more pampered by electronic devices.

SuperTalent USB 3.0 RAIDDRIVE

USB 3.0 is certainly one of the highly anticipated technologies, and while USB 3.0 has found its way to external hard drives, and also motherboards, you don’t seem to be able to find them on USB flash drives. Fortunately SuperTalent has come to the rescue, with its USB 3.0 RAIDDRIVE. As its name implies, it utilizes a pair of drives that are crammed into a single case, and set up with a RAID 0 configuration. We’re certainly looking forward to the influx of USB 3.0 flash drives, after all, who wouldn’t want to be able to transfer data faster, right? While there isn’t any official price tag on this item just yet, you can safely expect it to be more than a little expensive until it becomes more mainstream.
