Peepers Delight: Binoculars with 5MP DigiCam Built-In :-



I've got good news for you bird watchers and peepers out there: you can now take binocular pictures that are actually decent quality. These binoculars have a 5-megapixel digital camera built right in, allowing you to really zoom in on your neighbors nipples. It's got a 1.5-inch LCD screen, can do video, and plugs into your computer via USB. Not too shabby. It's available now for 9912 INR, pervs.

Belkin Bluetooth iPod Dock Adapter:-



Instead of designing this like traditional wireless iPod docks where you place your iPod in a dock and use a clumsy remote to control the music, Belkin's iPod dock adapter lets you use your iPod itself as a remote. Ingenious? Definitely. The Dock adapter comes in two pieces, one for your iPod and one for your iPod dock. It uses Bluetooth to mimic an actual dock and stream commands and music from your iPod to the dock. Much better than trying to read the tiny screen from across the room. The dock adapter launches in March for 5418 INR.

Vista Benchmarks Say It's Not Really Slower Than XP :-



One of the main worries people have when considering about upgrading to Windows Vista is performance. Is it worth it to sacrifice a responsiveness for a fancier GUI and more under-the-hood upgrades? According to these benchmarks, if you've got a relatively decent Vista install you actually don't suffer a large performance decrease. In SANDRA 2007, Cinebench, Sciencemark, and 3D Mark 06, performance differences were had a change of 5% or less—some of which were actually better for Vista. In more real world examples, using Nero, LAME, and Sony encoders, Vista performed only a few percentage points slower than XP. The moral of the story? Vista's not all that much slower than what you're running now. Which is pretty much what we've noticed on our own XP to Vista upgraded PC.

Happy Hacking Lite 2 For Your Mac :-

The Happy Hacking Lite 2 keyboard is now compatible with Macs, and by compatible I mean Fujitsu painted it white and added an Apple system button. Aww so cute, finally something small to match your itty bitty mac-mini. The board is half the size of a standard keyboard, but unfortunately, Fujitsu also skimped on the USB side, adding just two USB 1.1 ports. Available in Japan for now. Small handed Americans, sit tight.

iRiver X20 Widescreen Video Player Manhandled :-

CNet Asia has a pre-release sample of the iRiver X20, a widescreen portable media player that holds up the tradition of fine iRiver products. The screen on this baby is 2.2-inches and sharp as a rusty tack in your foot. The scrollwheel, however, is a little small. But the microSD card (why not just SD?), MPEG4/WMV support, FM radio, and great sound quality make up for its shortcomings. Although it's too late to fix the scrollwheel for its February launch, everything else seems to be in order. It's no (theoretical) widescreen iPod, or even Creative Zen Vision W, since 4GB of memory won't be holding many videos.

Bill Gates Autographed Vista Editions On Sale At Best Buy :-

Nest egg here we come.
