This is just a quick entry to thank all of you who responded to my recent travails as I once again got into a death match and barely made it out intact.. well, sort of. I now sport a new right jaw that almost matches my former “new” left jaw and incredible swelling that will take a few weeks to subside.

The Air Mouse Elite works both in standard desktop fashion and in mid-air, letting you navigate your computer wirelessly from up to 30m away.

The slender, 13.3-inch Vaio VPCY11M1E/S won’t make you yelp with excitement when it comes to performance, but it is very comfortable to use, with an excellent keyboard. Its funky bundled software also allows you to share media between the laptop and other devices, such as a PlayStation 3 or television

I was reading Fred’s post today, The Ideal Phone System , and what stands out is how many older technologies didn’t stand the test of time because they were designed with a different set of assumptions about the evolution of voice. In some ways, Fred’s post reminds me of my longtime desire to find the ideal home entertainment system. As we’ve moved a number of times, I’ve created and changed our home a/v system several times over

Blogging has come a long way since I started first reading blogs and since my first blog post (old blog on typepad). They have evolved from a pure publishing one to many model into a two way system where follow/follower, comments, reblogs, and “likes” provide a whole new experience. But one thing I’ve noticed is that a blog post may receive a fair amount of interaction on the first day, little if any interaction on day 2 and it drops off big time after that. Even though Google directs a nice chunk of traffic to older posts, the interaction is still low. Compare that with an message board.

“I can’t really make much of a pronouncement about these apps but I was struck by the amount of restraint the apps’ designers used. A bigger screen increases the temptation to just keep adding interface elements.

The 12.2-megapixel Coolpix S640 ultra-compact camera doesn’t excel in any one area, but it’s a good all-rounder that should serve snapshooters well. There’s no high-definition movie mode, but its pictures below ISO 200 are excellent, it has a high-end feel and it offers decent performance

The 21.5-inch, 1080p SyncMaster LD220 can be used either in conjunction with a laptop or as a stand-alone monitor. It doesn’t offer many configuration options and it’s not a great choice if you’re a gamer, but its sleek design and USB connectivity make it a decent option for more general use

At around £1,800, we think the 40-inch, 1080p, LED-backlit 40PFL9704H/12 LCD TV is too expensive, but, as long as you’re good friends with your bank manager, we’re happy to recommend this set. Its construction, picture and sound quality, and feature set all scream class

We perform a variety of legally oriented services her at VR Legal Resources ; everything from scanning and Bates Stamping exhibits to preparing and presenting exhibits and demonstratives in court, and, from time to time, we’re called upon to videotape a deposition. We’re fortunate to have professional relationships with many of the top law firms in the Los Angeles / Orange County area and a few of these firms handle some of the more popular cases you hear about on television or read about on celebrity web sites. Being “ringside” during these sometimes intense encounters and watching the verbal jousting that takes place is what keeps me passionate about my career in litigation services, that, and the fact that I’m entrusted with “behind the scenes” information that ethics dictate that I keep confidential

“It gets worse. The judge in the case, in addition to enjoying torturing Microsoft with an injunction, ordered Microsoft to pay i4i over $290 million in damages. At this point I paused and pondered why a Canadian company was suing Microsoft in East Texas. Maybe it’s warmer there. I certainly know the beer isn’t better. I could keep going, but I’m running out of sarcasm (has someone patented that yet?)” – Brad Feld- A Patent Ban on Microsoft Word and a Haiku Brad has a huge issue with our current patent system and he’s right.

“In 1979, Microsoft had 13 employees, most of whom appear in that famous picture that provides indisputable proof that your average computer geek from the late 1970s was not exactly on the cutting edge of fashion. We started the year by moving from Albuquerque back to Bellevue, just across the lake from Seattle. By the end of the year we’d doubled in size to 28 employees

A Sony Vaio laptop with a touchscreen interface is on its way, a company executive said on Thursday. In an interview with Laptop Mag , Sony executive Mike Abary confirmed that an upcoming laptop will have a touchscreen that will take advantage of the touch feature in the upcoming Windows 7 . Asked about the possibility of a touchscreen laptop before the end of 2009, Abary said: "There are certain things that will be native on Windows 7 that we are certainly going to take advantage of.
SpinVox is people! It’s people! That’s the Soylent Green cry of the BBC this morning — its tech correspondent, Rory Cellan-Jones, is sad to find out that SpinVox is using people to translate his voicemails into text, rather than a super-computer called D2, or ‘the Brain’. The worry is that SpinVox is sending our voicemails overseas to be translated by loose-lipped call centres, who might blab our secrets everywhere.

I recently had the pleasure of putting a new product called ” PaperShow ” through its paces to see if it would be a good fit in the trial presentation/court room environment. Papershow is similar in concept to the SMART Airliner wireless slate and eInstruction tablets , but is much less expensive at just $199 for the starter kit.
