It’s been a while since sub $100 ink jet printers were first available, you know, the ones that cost $65 and suck down $55 worth of ink cartridges every couple of months. Well, thanks to Dell, you can now swap out your ink guzzler for a more cost effective laser printer without having to shell out $300 or more. Their new Dell Laser Printer 1100 does 15 pages per minute at a resolution of 600 dpi, and can print 2,000 pages per $65 toner cartridge.
Of course, this printer won’t be printing color at this price, but for those of you looking for a good home office/small business workhorse for printing text, give the new Dell a look.

Continuing with the top ten so-and-so kick I have been on over the past few days, I actually really liked this one. While it really can pertain to anything, it certainly holds well in the entrepreneurial environment. These are ten things that anyone can do to ensure that they are successful. One thing is certain - you must realize that you yourself are in charge of your future, and no one else can affect it unless you allow them to. Focusing back on the list, I actually think the most powerful one on there is that it is important to remember who you meet. Everytime I get someone’s business card, I take the information and throw it into my Address Book. I sync it to my cell phone from my computer so that I always have the names and contact details of everyone I have met. You never know when the networking you have done will pay off - but you will never find out if you forget who you meet.

Logitech’s Wireless Bluetooth iPod Headphones
Posted by Devin Categories: Accessories, Portable Audio / Video, Wireless / WiFi,
In a move that isn’t really all that surprising, Logitech has commercialized the wireless, Bluetooth enabled headphone that was once exclusive only to the HP iPaqs. This new, lightweight set, which will retail for about $150, is for use with only the Apple iPod. It features iPod controls on the headphone unit itself, and an internal, rechargeable battery(that is not removable) which is said to fully charge in 2 1/2 hours. Not willing to spend so much money on something you don’t know much about? Check out CNET’s review here.

World of Warcraft Gets Even Bigger
Posted by Rob Stevens Categories: Internet, PC, Role Playing Games,
World of Warcraft has reached an absolutely mind-boggling number of users: over two million players for what was deemed by many to be a niche genre. But not satisfied to rest on their laurels, Blizzard has a lot of new features in store. More specifically, the next patch promises to include improvements to the much-maligned Honor System, as well as Battlemasters, NPCs that can allow a player to enter the recently added Battlegrounds from a city, instead of travelling to the location of the Battleground.
There was also a progress report of sorts from Shane Dabiri (Ordinn to WOW forum-goers), which discussed a myriad of topics, including the astronomical growth of WOW (a near 10-fold increase in realms offered over six months), and confirmation of the inevitable: an expansion for World of Warcraft is indeed in the works. “Some have asked about an expansion and what it might hold. I wanted to let players know that it is in the works, and we’ll release details as soon as we can.” If you have yet to venture into Azeroth for yourself and spend hours on end slaying the merciless Murlocs, now seems as good a time as any, assuming you have no children, family, or personal life to speak of.

If you have an extra 109,000 Euros lying around - that would be just a tad over $132,000 USD - you may be interested to know that you can buy a lovely cave that has been turned into a habitable home in the province of Granada, bread oven included. Seriously, what’s not to like about living in a cave? I mean, aside from having crappy cell reception and weak WiFi.

It was only a matter of time, but the fine folks at Killer-X and PSP-Dev have finally managed to get homebrew and emulation code running on PSPs with the version 1.5 firmware. Until now, would-be hackers would have to quickly swap Memory Sticks out of the PSP, increasing a chance that you could damage your rather expensive storage cards. This latest exploit allows everything to run from a single card, making this sort of grey-area gameplay open to far more people. If you’re running the 1.51 or 1.52 firmware versions on your PSP, you’re still out of luck until Sony’s digital signature is cracked, or some other loophole is found (like downgrading the firmware).

JVC Everio MG20, MG30, MG40, MG50 Camcorders Ditch the Tape
Posted by Rob Stevens Categories: Cameras, Portable Audio / Video,
Ever since MiniDV camcorders were released, I’ve wondered to myself how long it would be before someone like Sony released a camcorder that recorded to an internal hard drive, instead of old-school tape. You can make the tape as small as you want, but it’s still tape.
Surprisingly, JVC is the one making the leap into the 21st Century, with their Everio line of camcorders with internal hard drives instead of digital cassette tape. It’s worth noting that JVC has done this once before, but used a 4GB CompactFlash form-factor MicroDrive, hardly a unique move. Now they’re using larger disks, finally giving the world (and us) a reason to take notice.
These second-generation Everio units feature either a 20GB or 30GB hard disk (likely the same drive included in Apple’s iPod), and record MPEG2 video (DVD quality) directly to the hard drive, 4.5 hours for the 20GB unit, and 7 hours for the 30GB. Rudimentary editing features allow random access to the stored video (including setting chapters, rearranging footage, etc), and remote playback lets you attach the camcorder to a TV and operate it like a DVD player.
The two higher-end units (MG40 and MG50) have 1.33 MegaPixel CCD sensors, allowing you to take digital photos in JPEG format at up to 1152 x 864. The lower end units (MG20 and MG30) are limited to 640x480. Photos can be stored on a separate SD memory card, or logically on the internal hard drive.
Oddly, such a high-tech camcorder lacks a FireWire interface, opting for USB2. It does, however, support PictBridge, so you can print those tiny photos on any photo printer supporting the PictBridge interface.
The Everio line will launch in August, with the MG20 (0.3 MP, 20GB) coming in at $800, and the MG50 (1.3 MP, 30GB) coming in at $1000. The MG30 (1.3MP, 20GB) and the MG40 (0.3MP, 30GB) will each be $900, letting you choose whether storage space or the sensor resolution is more important to you. I’m betting that by September, someone will have cracked open one of these bad boys and have tried sticking a larger drive in it.
