The Force Is Strong With These Wii Lightsaber
Accessories

post from OhGizmo! on 30 September 2008 06:30:40 AM. © OhGizmo!

This post is syndicated with permission from GamerFront.netOne of the greatest things about the Wii is that there are so many unique peripherals available for it. Since the Wiimote snaps into them, they are essentially just cheap plastic, which also makes them very cheap. We’ve seen other Lightsaber peripherals in the past, but nothing quite [...]

Noma Programmable Thermostat With Wireless
Temperature Monitor

post from OhGizmo! on 30 September 2008 06:26:11 AM. © OhGizmo!

By Andrew LiszewskiI’ve always thought that a single, centrally located thermostat in a house was an odd way to regulate its overall temperature. In the house I grew up in, the thermostat was located in a hallway, and since I didn’t spend a lot of time as a kid hanging out in that hallway, I [...]

The camera phone battle rages on with with the 8
megapixel KC780 from LG

post from Shiny Shiny on 30 September 2008 06:17:25 AM. © Shiny Shiny

It's the battle of megapixels in the mobile phone world (despite the fact that a better lens and flash would be more important) and LG is squaring up to fight. The KC780 is rumoured to be the big player in their arena, with 8 megapixels, quad band GSM support and soft keys. The interesting thing is the high acclaim it's already receiving, despite NO definite specs or pricepoint. We can expect

Toshiba Cell TV video processing using a cousin
of the PS3 CPU

post from Ubergizmo on 30 September 2008 06:11:24 AM. © Ubergizmo

[CEATEC 2008] Toshiba was demonstrating its Cell TV, a television that has a Cell processor in it, the same architecture than the one used for Sony’s PlayStation 3 (but with less processing cores). The Processor can be used for many things, like running software (user-interface etc…), but what was demonstrated here was video-filtering quality. To be honest, the demo was not very convincing. I’m sure that there was a difference but most people were looking at it wondering what they should look for – not good for a demo. The second point of having a Cell processor (as opposed to a non-programmable chip) is that Toshiba will be able to easily improve the image-quality via a new algorithm, without requiring a hardware update. Now, if Toshiba can build the (Cell) processor for a low-price, it might pay-off in the future, because having a fully programmable chip allow a faster time-to-market, overall reactivity towards the competition and most importantly, it avoids building a new custom chip to accomodate new filtering techniques.

USB Volcano Demands USB Virgins

post from OhGizmo! on 30 September 2008 05:34:13 AM. © OhGizmo!

By Evan AckermanVolcanoes, in general, are pretty badass, even if they are on occasion responsible for natural disasters and awful movies. Thanks to the power of USB, you are now able to exhibit that sort of power on your desk with an authentic USB volcano. I guess technically it’s a submarine volcano, since it sits [...]

Period drama: Track your PMT online

Every new month brings much joy. We get potentially different weather, a pay packet, seasonal sales, and oh yes, that time of the month. You know, the one that people like to have a Mooncup for. It never really occurred to me to forget it; after all it's kinda noticeable.However now I can sign up to a website which will monitor my monthly cycle as well as print me out lots of useful things like pink pie charts. Woo! You can also use it to practise the rhythm method (yes the one which hasn't been medically proven as a great form of contraception) and you can choose whether to make your profile private or share it. Ahh, social networking for the menses? Why not! I'm sure many angst ridde
