Are you excited by technology again?

Making the computer personal again, there is a new Google iPhone killer, a new Microsoft bi-fold tablet, a rumored crazy-cool Apple tablet, and ubiquitous wireless. Has there ever been a better time to hurry up and wait before purchase???

You are not worthy of the 18-button OpenOfficeMouse

I'd say 18 buttons is way too many - check out the new Apple multi-touch and you'll see why (and they're the dopes who wouldn't got beyond one button!)

Do You Digg Fraud?

Is this fraud or honest tweaking? Social polling site digg.com recently introduced a new ad format, where the ads get placed right in their votable copy. Can we trust them to be a neutral broker, or have they already succumbed to temptation?

Snapily- service lets you make custom mugs, etc. with 3D images

This is actually pretty cool, have a look at the video, you'll get it in about 15 seconds. You upload 2D pics, and the website makes them into pseudo-3D, and you can make cards, mugs, business cards, etc. "At launch available options include a pseudo-3D effect that separates the backdrop from the foreground and a morph effect that can switch between two photos. In the near future the site will also be launching a ‘mini-movie’ effect,"

WooMe: 1 minute video chat for dating,users can opt to share them

WooMe allows users to chat on video chat in 1 minute sessions then optionally post them for all to see. "some of these chats can be pretty hilarious (in my own testing, I am often left cracking up after particularly awkward exchanges), and there should be a fair number of users brave enough to share their romantic adventures. Provided the site doesn’t get overrun with “fake dates” - users who are just trying to be silly just so their video will become popular - WooMe TV could provide a very funny (and perhaps even insightful) perspective of the dating world."

Swype - a radical new way to enter data on a cell phone

by connecting letters with lines. It has built in error correction which works quite well. "In the demo it was clear that you could type about 50 words a minute just by scribbling on the screen. Because you don’t really have to hit all the letters and because the system has excellent error-handling, you don’t even have to hit all of the letters."
