WHAT THAT DELL?
Dell XPS 700 fromm RM8210

Have the LAN party crew quaking in thier Hi-Tecs by toting Dell's new gaming mega-PC at the next meet. Slide it under the desk and hear their gasps of amazement as you effortlessy plug your gaming-tuned peripheral into its backlit ports. Nonchalantly bandy around lines like :'Intel Extreme Edition Processor','128MB Ageia physics card','2G RAM','dual GeForce 7900GTX'.'X-F1 Xtreme 7.1 soundcard' and 'super-quite aluminium chassis' till the little guy wet himself. If you're lucky, thye'll all be so intimidated that they wont stick around to seeyour hamfisted button mashings.

As hot as a gas turbine hairdryer.

The Return Of the Black Xbox 360 Rumor

For the second time since the console's launch, rumors are circulating that Microsoft is working on a black Xbox 360 design, with the source this time being a banner advert from Best Buy depicting what appears to be a matte black console. The low resolution picture, coupled with the fact that the advert doesn't even mention the Xbox 360 -- let alone a black one -- means that this is about as good a confirmation as earlier Photoshop jobs. However, we doubt this is the last we'll see of the black Xbox 360: what with the home theater-matching PlayStation 3 just around the corner, we wouldn't be too surprised if Redmond ends up throwing fans the color-inverted Xbox 360 that they've always wanted

Get this Skype Pocket PC 2.0 RMfree.Not all the best things in life are free-jam,for exampl. But free software and call are a very good thing , and can be had if you download the Skype VoIP client for your Wi-Fi endable Pocket PC. Once you have it, call other Skype users-mobile or PC-based-for free, and use Skyout to dial standard landline numbers for silly cheap. Since Wi-Fi is pretty much everywhere, that could mean big savings. Mind the battery life on your palmtop, though-those free calls could be rather shot.

SanDisk Sansa e280 8GB MP3 Player

The Sansa E200 Siries Mp3 Player are the flagship products of SanDisks audio line. Created by the leaders in flash memory, this flash-based player provides everything you need for music, photo, and video clip playback.The very attractive, sleek design includes a 1.8 TFT color screen with advanced navigational features and an easy to use interface. You can also avoid scratches and cracks with the durable Liquidmetal backing. The Sansa e200 provides superior sound playback and supports Microsoft PlaysForSure subscription music. The SanDisk Media Converter supports most image formats to enjoy photos and small personal videos.

TIME reviewed Sansa E280 which they writes “It is a shame that such a high-capacity flash player can’t also be used as a storage drive — if I could dump out the contents of my camera into it, I’d be really impressed. Still, the Sansa has plenty of other talents, such as the voice recorder and FM radio, that the nano doesn’t have. I think it would suit many as a dark-horse alternative to iPods. But if you want it just for the 8GB, bear in mind that it probably won’t be long before there’s an 8GB nano with video capabilities. You know, for the rest of the herd.”

AMX is looking to put a little more ZigBee into your life (and, really, couldn't we all use a little?), announcing a pair of new remotes and some other ZigBee wireless gear at the just-concluded CEDIA Expo in Denver. The Mio Modero R-4 (seen above) is the company's top-of-the-line remote, with a 2.4-inch color LCD touchscreen , AMX's "G4 graphics engine" (which won't let you play Halo, but will give you animated icons), and 28 old-fashioned push buttons. Also announced was the Mio Modero R-3, with which you'll have to settle for a smaller monochrome LCD, though you'll get a bountiful 45 backlit laser-engraved buttons. Both remotes will give you some two-way ZigBee action, letting you view everything from song information to the current room temperature from the comfort of your couch -- if you're living in one of those houses of the future, that is. To go along with 'em, AMX has dropped some additional ZigBee wireless gear to complete your setup, including a ZigBee wireless gateway, and a repeater to extend wireless coverage to the farthest reaches of your mansion. No word on pricing -- hint: you probably won't find this stuff in the Insignia aisle -- but it should all be available in the next few months.

A cure for Dementia? Not!

Old age dementia strikes probably anyway and everyone, regardies of your station in life. So when you start to loose stuff, its probably a sign that Alzheimer is knocking on your door. And to combat these bouts of forgetfulness, you should turn to the Mini Reminder! just attach one of the transmitters to your mobile phone, PDA or wife and carry the transmitter with you.
When you separated with the object , say within five meters, an alert will sound so that you are reminded that you have left something behind. Ok , this may not be of much help to find lost object if you don't remember where you left it since it doesn't have a GPS to tell you where the object is, but then again, that could be the next gadget that will find its way into our mundane live.

Foxit Reader 2.0 has Released

Foxit Reader 2.0 has been released and it is just as great as the previous versions. If you are still stuck in the days of viewing PDF’s using Adobe Acrobat then it must be because you have never tried the free Foxit Reader.

The software is amazing from multiple aspects. Of course the most important feature that it has is the amazingly quick startup time. When I open a PDF it is on my screen for me to read in less than 5-seconds. Can’t beat that!

The second best thing is that you never have to install it. Just download the ZIP file, extract it, and run the EXE. I just drag the file into my Program Files folder and set it up to be my default PDF reader. There is no installation which means no mess!

So if you haven’t tried this PDF reader yet then I highly suggest you give it a whirl. There’s nothing to install so the worst thing that would happen is you download it, try it, and delete it. However, I have never come across someone that doesn’t like it.
