We recently received details on a new 3D printer from Objet. The printer is named the Connex350 and is a multi-material 3D printing system which creates some stunning results.

The Light Lane is a cool idea where a laser is used to project a bike lane on to the road around a bike. The idea here is that the bright lit laser created lane will allow drivers to more clearly see the bike rider and hence, lower the risk of the rider being on the road. [Read more…]
NVIDIA are launching a netbook that will support the new Tegra chip. The Tegra chip so far has only been used in a Zune HD player, so making a move to a netbook will be an interesting step.
The Tegra chip is basically an all-in-one chip that integrates CPU, GPU, northbridge and southbridge on to the 1 chip as well as primary memory functionality. This integration supports a 720p resolution which provides HD video for the netbook. [Read more…]

Less then a week after the iPhone 3G S launch we have heard that the phone has now been exploited. This means that the phone will be able to be jailbreaked and unlocked in the very near future.
The 24Kpwn exploit used on the iPod Touch 2G is still in the bootrom of the iPhone 3G S which means the same technique can be used to jailbreak the 3G S as well as unlock it. [Read more…]
Wireless networks are getting faster. It began with Wireless A which clocked up maximum speeds of about 54Mbps. Following A was B which gave a boost to range from 100 – 150 feet but in doing that the speed dropped to 11Mbps. Wireless G was next which basically mixed the best of A and B together to make a 150 feet range at 54Mbps. The next is Wireless N which boosts the speed by a fair bit up to 150Mbps with a range of 230 feet.
Wireless N routers have been available for a while now. A problem happens though in that most people have older laptops that still use b/g speeds and therefore, you waste a lot of speed. This is where the Mvix wireless N adapter comes in to play. [Read more…]
Logitec have launched the LDV-P8U2L which is an 8x DVD and 24x CD player that connects to your laptops or netbooks USB port.
It comes in 3 colours of silver, black or red and is powered fully by the USB port on the device it connects to.
From what the translation seems to say, it is indicated that you can actually boot from this USB DVD drive which makes using it on a netbook very handy for the times you need to do an OS reload. [Read more…]
