Logitech Performance Mouse MX and Anywhere Mouse MX can work on glassI swear, must have some department that puts out cool technology daily, as they’ve just released two mice that can literally work on glass, something that has always seemed to evade us.  Both the Performance Mouse MX ($100) and the Anywhere Mouse MX ($80) use Darkfield Laser Tracking Technology to accomplish this feat, and they’re both available now. You can get the Logitech Performance Mouse MX and the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX on Amazon.

Canon SELPHY ES40 is voice guided

has put out a lot of great printers, and the SELPHY ES40 looks like a one-of-a-kind with its “voice-guidance” system.  Canon has been pretty quiet on this, which is surprising, since this is a feature you’d think they’d want to tout. What we do know is that it has a 3.5-inch LCD display for previewing your images, and a scrollwheel to navigate through the interface.  It should retail for $149.99 when it is released, which coincidentally, they haven’t given any information on release date either.

Until then, keep talking to your printer as you normally do.  Maybe Canon will make a printer that will talk back to you.  Not looking forward to that.

Microsoft LifeCam Shoots in 720p HD

I realize that many shoot their own version of EdTV or The Truman Show with their webcams every day, what with this whole YouTube thing we keep hearing about. If that is you, then you may be interested in Microsoft’s LifeCam Cinema, which records in 720p HD at 30 frames per second.  The LifeCam Cinema also touts autofocus, 4x digital zoom, noise-canceling microphone, and ClearFrame for “smoother video” (whatever that is.)  It will support , and will be available for $80 on September 9th.

BenQ Goes Green with V2400 and V220 Eco


It’s good to know that major electronics makers have realized that it makes more sense to “go green” than to avoid it. BenQ, for example, has recently created two new V Series monitors that are meant to be eco-friendly. The 24-inch V2400 Eco and 21.5-inch V2200 Eco have dynamic contrast ratios of 5,000,000:1, and are LED-backlit 1080p panels. The monitors are made from 28 percent recycled plastic. They also reduce power by 30 percent in eco mode, and 36 percent overall. These displays are available in China in a week, but we expect them to arrive stateside soon enough.
