Have you heard? The Game Developer’s Conference (GDC) is going on right now, which is why it shouldn’t go as a big surprise that all these companies are announcing things there. Yes, they’ll generally have a video game/gaming twist to it, but that’s okay. Especially when we have Microsoft presenting, and they’re giving details on how push notifications are going to work on the upcoming mobile Operating System.
Right up until the official announcement of Windows Phone 7 Series, there came a time when multitasking came under fire. Was it going to be included?

Welcome to the future, ladies and gentlemen. What we have here, by definition, is exactly where technology should be going. While we love all our gadgets, from the smallest magnets to the largest LED TVs, it’s this kind of tech that makes our spines tingle.

Intendix wants to make it possible for those who may not be able to speak, to finally get what they want to say out to those around them, and we can’t help but love the process.

The technology itself was created by the Austrian Guger Technologies, or g.tec, to better improve the lives of those with any kind of locked-in syndrome, or any other kind of situation that may prevent someone from telling people what they want or need.

HP and many other electronics companies are trying hard to reach people like my wife who don’t buy electronics and computers based on specifications, but buy them based on looks. My wife would take a mediocre camera if it’s pink over a fantastic black camera. Most of her girly friends would do the same. For this crowd, HP has unveiled its latest product designed by Vivienne Tam.
The new machine is the basic HP Mini 210 adorned with a “Butterfly Lovers” design and gold color that goes along with Tam’s latest collection of clothing. Other than the gold color, which extends to the keyboard and other surfaces of the netbook and a wireless mouse, the rig is the basic Mini 210.
