MS LifeCam Studio 1080p Webcam to Welcome Windows Live Messenger 2011
Microsoft has unveiled a mostly upgraded version of its Cinema, the full HD-capable LifeCam Studio. They've replaced the single megapixel sensor with a 2 megapixel for a max video output of up to 1080p. You'll need a robust PC to make use of this level of video. While the webcam does support 1080p, you will need at least quad-core CPU running at 3Ghz or faster with 4GB RAM to handle the load. Video conferencing software such as Skype 4 and the upcoming Windows Live Messenger 2011 will only support up to 720p at their highest. Having said that, this additionally assumes that you have the bandwidth available to you to support 1080p upload. MS recommends a dual core 3Ghz or better processor just to handle 720p recording. The truly glaring omission from this high bandwidth peripheral is that it's limited to USB 2.0. Not making this webcam USB 3.0 is mind-boggling. One can only assume that they afraid of getting mistakenly overlooked due to misconceptions of USB 3.0 devices not being compatible with USB 2.0 computers. So please continue to tell your friends so we can get out from under the USB 2.0 yoke and start getting better toys.

Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 Extends Unifying Line
Ah, thank you Logitech, one of the few remaining benevolent manufacturers of trackballs. Today they bless us yet again with a new Wireless Trackball M570. There are still quite a few of us that have found wrist relief with this life saving input device. Similar to the endangered ergonomic keyboard, trackballs are religiously maintained by their owners as they are so are hard to come by these days. Logitech continues to put out a decent new model of both for those of us who have become addicted to the additional comfort they provide. The M570 builds upon the previous model with subtle changes to form factor and migration to the Unifying wireless adapter. Logitech's Unity is a one-adapter-serves-all nano wireless adapter. All of Logitech's recent keyboards and mice can be share a single Unifying adapter. This makes the tiny adapter even smaller from a mathematical perspective. The M570 Trackballs also get the boost in battery life common to all of Logitech's current stock of rodentia. They claim 18 months on a single AA, which we have confirmed with several personal observations of the aforementioned critters in their natural habitat. Catch and domesticate your own at the end of this month for only $59. Your wrists will thank you as you both work together to get your corporate food pellets.
