HP made a splash at SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group on GRAPHics and Interactive Techniques) today, thanks to its new DreamColor laptop. The HP EliteBook 8730w Mobile Workstation is the only new laptop to stake a claim on the DreamColor display. Designed for users that are truly geeky about their graphics, the 17-inch unit promises over 16 million colors. Other features include an Intel quad-core processor, 8 GB of memory and NVIDIA’s next gen Quadro FX cards with up to 1 GB dedicated video memory. It…

Samsung just announced a slew of new monitors with its spiffy “Touch of Color” (TOC) moniker. The units are the T190, the T220, the T240 and the T260. Each one is designed to be efficient when it comes to energy—as well as your desk space. All also have a 20,000:1 contrast ratio, a 2 to 5ms response (depending on the model), multi-screen functionality, MagicColor intelligent color control, MagicBright Dynamic Contrast control, and MagicTune for display settings. Sounds like they’ve got more magic than Doug Henning.…

Apple is Having a Black Friday Sale

If you thought the freaks were a-flutter when the iPhone landed, wait until you see them come Black Friday. Apple has been teasing that they will have a sale this Friday, just like every other retailer in the free world. It will start online at 12:01 a.m. Now the sad part: Crunch Gear says that we won’t know which items are discounted until the doors (or the gates of the world wide web) open on Friday. Rumor has it that the manufacturer’s previous sales haven’t…

If you’re reading this while staring at a boxey, not-so-bright screen, it might be time for an upgrade. Gateway just announced that they’ve got two new monitors that provide a super-cool high-def picture, without having to clog up your workspace. The 24-inch FHD2400 boasts 1080p HD support with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. It also has an Ultrabright Glare panel with a 92-percent color gamut, for lifelike images.

Gateway One: Too Cool for an External Hard Drive
Rachel Cericola
09/27 09:18 AM,

9 Comments
This morning, Gateway announced the Gateway One, a slick looking desktop PC that looks an awful lot like the latest iMac. I like the sleek form factor though—and the fact that the unit only requires ONE cable. Gateway seems to be targeting that group that wants to say they are too cool to spend countless hours on a PC, but look how cool my PC is—that’s right, PC sucka! The minimalist unit can sit and look pretty, or you can wall-mount the 19-inch display. Other…

If you’re in your 30s like me and remember watching “Silver Spoons” (waaaaay before Ricky Schroeder joined “NYPD Blue” or the CTU team on “24"), then you also probably wanted to have some cool arcade games in your rec room. With DreamAuthentics’ Katana, you can have the classic arcade games like Ms. Pac-Man and also have current games, Internet access, DVD viewing and a jukebox. The Katana comes with nearly 200 video games and is customized for you using the company’s online configurator so you…

Microsoft Surface Puts Computer Mice on Notice

Watching the commercial, what struck me most about Apple’s i-Phone is the way you control everything with your fingertips –- no buttons or dials. But Microsoft appears to be taking this human touch interface concept to a higher level –- and getting a lot less attention –- with its tabletop computing play space, Surface. Surface doesn’t use a keyboard or mouse, but instead the 30-inch display “turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, dynamic surface that provides effortless interaction with all forms of digital content…

Tech for Seniors Must be Practical
John Caldwell
04/11 07:02 AM,

5 Comments
Much has been written about the need for consumer electronics manufacturers to embrace the burgeoning senior citizen market. This last week gave me a deeper appreciation for just how vexing today’s tech world can be to seventy-somethings. My son Cameron’s spring break was last week. He wanted to get away for a few days and I needed a few days of R&R. Cam could hardly wait to see his cousins and other desert rat buds in and around Scottsdale, AZ. I was envisioning a few…
