Etch A Sketch iPhone And iPad Cases: Need We Say More?
The Etch A Sketch has gone down, and will always reside, in the Toy Hall of Fame. At least in our minds. It's a famed product that still elates children today, and it's one that just never seems to age. No matter how far technology advances, there's just something magical about turning two wheels to make lines, then shaking it to erase and start over. It's nearly as advanced as multi-touch, in a very strange sort of way. And now, Etch A Sketch is going modern. This item here is the officially licensed Etch A

ViewSonic Aims For 3D Creation With New Camcorder, Digital Photo Frame
This 3D bandwagon is showing no signs of stopping, and no signs of slowing down really. ViewSonic is the latest company to hop onboard, with tons of new 3D gear to share. The general idea with the company's latest stash is simple: they want to give consumers more ways to actually create 3D content, particularly since so little of it is readily available now to enjoy on those nice, shiny new 3DTVs. The 3DV5 Pocket 3D HD Camcorder has a 2.4" 3D LCD, which doesn't require glasses to see. It can capture both 3D

Windows is (are?) 25 Years Old Today
It's hard to believe, but Microsoft Windows is 25 years old. Windows 1.0 was birthed on November 20, 1985. Born as a replacement for MS-DOS, Windows was GUI-based, mouse- (and keyboard-) driven, and added multitasking as well. It wasn't until Windows 3.0, however, that Windows really started to take off. Honestly, much of that was because of the fact that the experience on the hardware at the time was pretty abysmal. Interestingly, embedded below you can see a Windows 1.0 slide presentation, highlighting its

MSI Introduces AMD-Based 15.6" FX610MX Notebook

MSI's family of notebooks just continues to get bigger and bigger. The company has one of the largest and most diverse groups of laptops to date, and it seems like a new member is born every week or so. This week is no different, as the FX610MX has made its debut in the company's F Series. It's a 15.6" midrange machine, designed to handle both gaming and multi-media for power users who are constantly on the go. It manages to maintain a sleek, understated design while still packing quite the arsenal underneath.

Unlike so many other laptops hitting the market these days with Intel inside, this new one from MSI uses a Phenom II triple-core processor and the ATI Mobility Radeon HD5470 GPU with 512MB of DDR3 VRAM. It also uses MSI's GPU Boost and ECO Mode technologies, which witch display and power management modes to meet your current needs, allowing you to strike the ideal balance between powerful multimedia performance and battery life.

The baseline configuration uses an AMD P820 or P840 CPU, Windows 7 Home Premium, up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, HDMI and VGA outputs, a 320/500/640GB hard drive, DVD SuperMulti drive, two USB 2.0 ports, a 4-in-1 card reader, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, an HD webcam, six-cell Li-ion battery and integrated speakers. MSI hasn't revealed a price or ship date yet, but hopefully both will come sooner than later. We're guessing it will be out in time for the holiday shopping season either way.

The FX610MXâ€”You won't want to leave home without it

The MSI FX610MX notebook computer packs AMDâ€™s powerful, new generation Phenom II triple-core processor and the high performance ATI Mobility Radeon HD5470 discrete graphics card for the ultimate in screen performance. Itâ€™s writing a new page in fast mobile computing at affordable prices.

Taipeiâ€”MSI has unveiled its all-new 15.6-inch F Series FX610MX laptop, featuring AMD's new generation Phenom II triple-core processor and the ATI Mobility Radeon HD5470 discrete graphics card (512MB DDR3 VRAM). It comes with MSIâ€™s exclusive GPU Boost and ECO technologies which switch display and power management modes to meet your current needs, allowing you to strike the ideal balance between powerful multimedia performance and battery life.

MSI Marketing Director Sam Chern explains that the FX610MX employs a cinema-class 16:9 ratio power-saving LED display, ideal for viewing films, as well as MSIâ€™s Cinema Pro multimedia technology to enhance display color and clarity. What's more, the exterior of the FX610MX is sheathed in MSI's own raised totem seal coating to give it an extra touch of class and protect it against scratching, wear, and smudging. It also comes with a seamless, multipoint touchpad. You won't want to go anywhere without it.

Triple core performace
AMD Phenomâ„¢ II processor: The FX610MX comes equipped with the newest generation AMD Vision Ultimate platformâ€”the Phenomâ„¢ II triple-core processor, which not only processes data faster than duo cores, but does so using less power. Processing large quantities of data was never so easy.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 discrete graphics card: The FX610MX also packs the latest ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 discrete graphics card with 512MB DDR3 of display memory for better display performance, clearer images, and more brilliant colors to give you the best possible visual experience available.

Superior multimedia performance
Cinema Pro: The FX610MX not only comes with a high-end processor and discrete graphics card, it boasts MSI's own Cinema Pro technology. Before watching a film, simply depress the Cinema Pro hot key and the FX610MX will switch over to film mode for crisper, clearer images with richer colors. Youâ€™ll find yourself riveted to the screen as you watch your favorite films.

16:9 cinema class, power-saving LED screen: In addition to the high-end processor and discrete graphics card, the FX610MX also features a 15.6-inch, 16:9 LED which offers richer, brighter colors and crisper resolution to maximize your multimedia experience wherever your are.

Power-saving technologies
GPU Boost: MSI's GPU Boost technology allows the FX610MX to switch between the discrete graphics card and the graphics modes. So when you're processing heavy-load graphics applications, one touch of the hot key switches you over to the discrete graphics card mode for more powerful graphics processing. For word processing and browsing the Internet, you can cut over to the power-sipping integrated graphics chip mode.

ECO Engine: The FX610MX also features MSIâ€™s exclusive ECO engine power saving technology which allows you to select from among five power management levelsâ€”Video Game, Film, Presentation, Word Processing, and Turbo Battery, to automatically adjust display brightness, on/off switch, sleep mode, and processor performance settings, maximizing battery flexibility and use per charge.

Superior workmanship, stylish design
Style and technology in one package: MSI employed exquisite craftsmanship and the latest technologies to give the FX610MX a uniquely elegant design as it continues to "Insist on the Best." The cover is protected by an anti-scratch, anti-wear, anti-smudge, no-peel jet black raised totem seal coating. Whatâ€™s more, the center is graced with a shimmering MSI logo and the wrist placement areas with a raised diamond texture to enhance comfort of use.

The zenith of precision technology: Every detail of the FX610MX's body was meticulously crafted by MSI's design team. The power button is encircled by chrome plating which blends wonderfully with the cold, luminescent blue lights above the keyboard. The unmatched chiclet keyboard with its solid touch, the raised multipoint touchpad, and the brush finish of the hotkey zone add further class to the FX610MX.

Latest transfer interface
802.11n high speed wireless and HD720p webcam: The FX610MX comes equipped with an HD720p webcam 802.11 b/g/n high speed wireless, Bluetooth V2.1+EDR module with X3 transfer rate, and a high-performance instant messaging device that allows you to stay in touch with friends and family anywhere in the world.

HDMI: The FX610MX features High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) which transfers up to 5Gb of video bandwidth for clear, true-to-life image quality to show HD images on large-screen televisions. Now, sharing exciting high-quality multimedia on large-screen devices, like projectors and digital TVs is easier than ever.

eSATA high speed transfer interface: MSI's FX610MX combines eSATA and USB interfaces into one port, so you can select between USB or eSATA when connecting up with equipment. The eSATA interface, for instance, transfers data at speeds 6.4 times faster than the USB2.0, so using the eSATA interface to connect to an external hard drive gives you read rates almost as fast as those of an internal hard drive.Â

Old Trojan Finds A New Friend In Facebook

One of the most active spam bots, Asprox, has a new gimmick for a Trojan it's been e-mailing around for the past six months: Facebook. Its botmasters are trying to cash in on last week's blocked accounts and unfriending frenzy.
Wednesday, November 17, was National Facebook Unfriend day, the brainchild of late night talk show comedian Jimmy Kimmel. However, the day before, Facebook confirmed that it was automatically disabling accounts it found to be suspiciously "fake." In the process it said a "bug" made it also disable a bunch of real users' accounts.
Lots of information and disinformation began to promptly circulate about the accounts being blocked because Facebook required users to scan and send a government-issued identification in order to restore accidentally blocked accounts, reports confirm. And, as crazy as that sounds, Facebook Support did send out legitimate messages to users of blocked accounts saying so.
All of this looked like the stuff of a good spam to Asprox, says M86 Security Labs. Researchers there on Friday began tracking a new spam campaign that claims it is from Facebook Support. The spam messages includes a nasty surprise -- the Sasfis Trojan, "a downloader trojan which, once on the system, is used to pull down other malware such as banking trojans, fake antivirus and keyloggers," Bradley Anstis, vice president of Technology Strategy of M86 Security says.

The Sasfis trojan succeeds when it gets folks to open up its executable files sent as an attachment. The files are hidden behind some kind of recognizable icon -- often a Microsoft Excel icon, though in the Facebook spam it was a .zip file.
"We've seen two campaigns from Asprox in the last few days, the first was the DHL spam and now the Facebook spam, which indicates that they're constantly trying new ways to get users infected with the downloader trojan. This Facebook spam campaign has been observed throughout our global spamtraps, showing that it is indeed widespread,â€ Anstis told Hot Hardware.
Since the trojan is a months-old variant -- and brazenly comes in as an attachment -- most good anti-malware spam blockers should detect it. Then again, spam bots are a percentage game -- it only takes a few successful infections for them to succeed, and we're talking Facebook users here. Just sayin'.

Windows is (are?) 25 Years Old Today

It's hard to believe, but Microsoft Windows is 25 years old. Windows 1.0 was birthed on November 20, 1985.

Born as a replacement for MS-DOS, Windows was GUI-based, mouse- (and keyboard-) driven, and added multitasking as well. It wasn't until Windows 3.0, however, that Windows really started to take off. Honestly, much of that was because of the fact that the experience on the hardware at the time was pretty abysmal.

Interestingly, embedded below you can see a Windows 1.0 slide presentation, highlighting its features.

After Windows 1.0 came, of course, Microsoft Windows 2.0. It was released on December 9, 1987. Later, two different versions were released: Windows/286 2.1 and Windows/386 2.1. These were the first versions to allow access to the High Memory Area.

Then came Windows 3.0, which was the first truly succesful version of Windows. It debuted on May 22, 1990. That eventually led to Windows 3.1, and Windows for Workgroups 3.1. Still later came Windows 3.11 and WfW 3.11.

We can't forget Windows NT, in its various versions, which first brought the new Win32 API into being. Windows NT eventually encompassed NT, NT 3.1, NT 3.5, and NT 4.0.

Windows 1.01

Meanwhile, the consumer side of Microsoft's OS development created Windows 95. For the consumer, Windows 95, released on August 24, 1995, was a game-changer. Codenamed Chicago, Windows 95 was designed to have support for 32-bit preemptive multitasking like Windows NT, while at the same time maintaining a 16-bit kernel for backward compatibility. The Win32 API first introduced with Windows NT (as noted above) was included, but Win16 compatibility was maintained through a technique known as "thunking".

Next up on the consumer side of things was Windows 98. Meanwhile, the NT side of things saw the development of Windows 2000, AKA Windows NT 5.0.

Then came the ubiquitous OS that has refused to die: Windows XP. Released in many different versions, it also was released in a 64-bit version, as well. Windows XP continued as Microsoft's flagship OS longer than any other version of Windows, from 2001 to January 30, 2007, when it was succeeded by Windows Vista.

Meanwhile, in parallel were released Windows Server 2003 and Windows Home Server. Ah, but it was Windows Vista that was Microsoft's great failure. It was soundly criticized for both its User Account Control feature, and its high hardware requirements. Additionally, changes to its driver model meant that customers often had trouble finding drivers for older peripherals.

Vista shipped in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions across the board, aside from the 32-bit only Starter edition. All releases after this time shipped both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, with the exception of starter editions. While the main advantage to the 64-bit version was perceived to bit the ability to address more than 4GB of memory, many 64-bit SIMD instructions execute nearly 10 times faster than 32-bit counterparts.

Windows Server 2008 was released next, building on Vista. It too was released in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Finally, came the current version, Windows 7, which was released on Oct. 22, 2009. Unlike Vista, 7 could effectively run on netbooks, which also is evidence of the optimizations that Microsoft made to ensure the OS could run on "lesser hardware." Windows 7 has been received much more warmly than Vista, and was created with the aim of rectifying the mistakes of Vista.

What now for Windows? Obviously, Windows 8, but Microsoft also faces other challenges, such as consumer adoption of tablets running lighter-weight platforms, and even Mac OS, which is beginning to challenge Windows as Apple hardware becomes more popular.

There is also the specter of Google, and the cloud on the horizon. There is a Windows 8 coming, but what it will be and how it will be received is perhaps a greater challenge for Microsoft than anything since Windows 3.0.

Antec Reveals Soundscience Rockus 2.1 Speaker System

Have you ever built your very own PC, piece by piece? If so, there's a good chance that you've heard of Antec. These guys make some of the best PC enclosures and power supplies in the industry, and even if you selected other components, you probably came across Antec gear while shopping. But as the years have flown by, Antec has grown tired of just sticking with convention. To remedy that, the company is branching out and creating something entirely new: a Rockus audio brand.

Soundscience is the name of the newly formed subsidiary of Antec, with the new Rockus 3D being the spin-off's first product. It's a simple 2.1 sound system, but it's one of the most interestingly designed sound systems that we have seen in quite a while. The idea is to get somewhat of a surround sound experience out of just a 2.1 setup; that's been done before, but these cannons look better equipped than most to make it really happen.

The company's new 3D audio technology, 3Dsst, s a suite of DSP (digital sound processing) algorithms that create a virtual surround sound experience from 2.1 stereo speakers. 3Dsst actively analyzes incoming stereo audio signals and intelligently places them into a 3D sound field, resulting in immersive 3D sound for your movies and games from 2.1 speakers.

The soundscience rockus 3D | 2.1 speaker systemâ€™s satellites are made entirely from anodized aluminum, and there's an optical input for digital audio support with game consoles and such. A remote control pod is also included to keep watch on volume, 3D/music mode and muting, and they'll be on sale starting now for $249.99 at Amazon, Fry's and Antec's own online store. Definitely not cheap for only a 2.1 system, but that Antec name may go a long way.

The soundscience rockus also boasts a dedicated music mode optimized for organic stereo sound reproduction, letting users hear music with deep, visceral sub-bass; powerful, spacious mids and crisp highs.

Sub $150 sound
Hey guys, thought I would get your opinion before I commit. I am torn between whether to go with a good quality headset and some cheap speakers or ditch the headset and go for good 2.1 quality speakers. Can't have both so what would you do. I am looking in the sub $150 range. Closer to $100 the better. So throw my some suggestions my way please.

Sonic Solutions' RoxioNow Entertainment Platform Coming To Loads Of HDTVs

Sonic Solutions has been rapidly moving to expand their RoxioNow platform for quite some time; it's definitely been a focal point of the company, and with the heightened level of competition surrounding connected HDTVs, we can understand why. Now, the company has managed a deal with Trident, a company that produces system-on-chips (SoCs) for leading HDTV makers. Basically, this deal allows RoxioNow to be embedded onto any HDTV with a Trident SoC inside, and that's quite a few potential TVs.

RoxioNow's platform works to give consumers a wide variety of multi-media content over the Internet, including new-release movies and hit TV shows. With this partnership, it's safe to assume that RoxioNow will be a bundled option on numerous TVs throughout the holiday season and beyond. Trident's highly integrated, programmable SoC semiconductors act as the brains for DTV and other digital media displays, providing image processing and optimization for video and computer graphic signals. Sonic's broad implementation on device chipsets is expected to result in RoxioNow-powered storefronts appearing on over 95% of all connected BD and HDTV consumer electronics devices shipping over the next several years.

It's too early for the company to call out specific names, but expect to hear a lot more as the big-name makers start to take advantage of this near deal.

"Consumers want to combine the quality from their digital TVs with the variety and flexibility they receive from streaming," said Dirk Wieberneit, SVP & General Manager of Trident's TV business unit. "RoxioNow provides us with an ideal ready-made solution to give them what they want. Building RoxioNow into our HDTV SoCs makes it easy for our customers in the DTV market to take advantage of the explosive growth in demand for high-quality streamed video content."

Trident's highly integrated, programmable SoC semiconductors act as the brains for DTV and other digital media displays, providing image processing and optimization for video and computer graphic signals. Sonic's broad implementation on device chipsets is expected to result in RoxioNow-powered storefronts appearing on over 95% of all connected BD and HDTV consumer electronics devices shipping over the next several years.

"Trident's role in the DTV chip market makes this an important agreement not simply for us, but for all the other companies â€” both manufacturers and content providers â€” that have committed to the RoxioNow platform," said Mark Ely, President of Strategy, Sonic Solutions. "The ideal scenario for consumers is a world in which all their entertainment devices work seamlessly to provide the content when and where they want it. Each successive partner we bring on board puts RoxioNow closer to being the universal solution to that need."

Cox Reveals New Mobile Plans, Wireless Phone Portfolio

You probably know Cox Wireless as a cable company. Just like Time Warner Cable, Charter or Comcast. A typical cable company providing pay-TV, digital phone and high-speed broadband Internet. Simple, right? But what if a cable company added a fourth service? A fourth service likeâ€¦wireless! That's exactly what has happened with Cox Communications, as they have just launched a quadruple-play bundle that adds a wireless service to the mix.

The company is starting things out with a bang, calling the new plans "Unbelievably Fair." They're launching at first throughout Hampton Roads, Va., Omaha, Neb. and Orange County, Calif. The mobile service offers something that no other mobile plan currently does: MoneyBack Minutes. Cox is becoming the first wireless carrier to provide cash back on customers' bills for unused minutes each month â€“ up to $20Â a month. They're also automatically providing customers with free text message Usage Alerts when they approach their maximum number of monthly minutes and messages, and the plans also include free mobile-to-mobile calling between a Cox digital phone and Cox wireless phone.

To further sweeten the reward for existing customers, Cox's bundled customers can choose one free upgrade when they add Cox Wireless. With Bundle Benefits, Advanced TV customers can choose a free premium entertainment channel such as HBO, Showtime, Starz or Cinemax or Cox Movie Pak, which includes Encore, Epix, Sundance and Vutopia; high-speed Internet customers can upgrade from Preferred to Premier; or home telephone customers can add unlimited domestic long distance calling on their Cox Digital Telephone service.

As for mobile choices? There are quite a few, including the HTC Desire, Motorola Milestone, LG Axis, HTC Hero, HTC Wildfire, Samsung Messager Touch, Samsung Profile and a couple of other feature-phones. If you're a current customer, you can call up Cox now to weigh your options.

Cox Unveils Unprecedented 'Unbelievably Fair(SM)' Wireless Plans, Bringing More Value to the Bundle
Â
MoneyBack Minutes(SM) and Free Usage Alerts(SM) Reduce Wireless 'Gotchas;' Customers Enjoy Bundle Benefits(SM) - Faster Internet, Free Movie Pak or Free Long Distance

CHESAPEAKE, Va., Nov. 19, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Cox Communications today unveiled its "Unbelievably Fair" mobile phone and high-speed Internet service throughout Hampton Roads, Va., Omaha, Neb. and Orange County, Calif. The addition of wireless to Cox's existing bundle of video, Internet and landline telephone services brings an unprecedented value proposition to consumers and introduces greater ease in integrating home and mobile services.

Today, Cox builds on its long history of innovation and customer service excellence with the launch of Cox Wireless. The company's market research revealed that consumers wanted a more fair approach to wireless and Cox is responding with MoneyBack Minutes. Cox is the first wireless carrier to provide cash back on customers' bills for unused minutes each month â€“ up to $20 a month â€“ a significant departure from the industry standard by which consumers lose unused minutes or carry them over from month-to-month with no monetary benefit.

"Wireless consumers have long been underserved on customer service," said Gary McCollum, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Cox Virginia. "With our customer-centric approach, we're delivering much more than excellent network coverage and call quality. We went a step further by introducing new services and features to the Cox bundle that were built on fairness. Plus, with a robust portfolio of devices, a nationwide 3G network and award-winning customer service customers have come to expect from us, Cox delivers on the most important attributes of wireless service."

Cox's in-depth consumer research found that consumers are frustrated with surprise overage charges on their monthly bills. To further its commitment to delivering a more fair approach to wireless spending, Cox Wireless automatically provides customers with free text message Usage Alerts when they approach their maximum number of monthly minutes and messages.Â This "no surprises" service enables customers to adjust usage habits or upgrade rate plans to avoid overage charges. Cox also makes it easy to save minutes by providing free Mobile-to-Mobile and calling between the customer's Cox Digital Telephone and Cox Wireless phone.

To further sweeten the reward for existing customers, Cox's bundled customers can choose one free upgrade when they add Cox Wireless. With Bundle Benefits, Advanced TV customers can choose a free premium entertainment channel such as HBO, Showtime, Starz or Cinemax or Cox Movie Pak, which includes Encore, Epix, Sundance and Vutopia; high-speed Internet customers can upgrade from Preferred to Premier; or home telephone customers can add unlimited domestic long distance calling on their Cox Digital Telephone service.

"Cox's early entry to the telecommunications space has served it extremely well," stated Irene Berlinsky, senior research analyst with IDC. "Two-thirds of Cox's customers subscribe to multiple services, and a full one-third take all three currently-available services. With the addition of wireless services, Cox has devised an approach that is a natural extension of its bundle, providing value and simplicity which should resonate with consumers. An integrated wireless play also gives Cox the opportunity to lay the foundation for next-generation multi-screen innovation."

Retail Presence

With the arrival of Cox Wireless, mobile solutions are now available at the recently unveiled Cox Solutions Stores. At the heart of the in-store experience is the Learning Lounge, a comfortable area where a friendly and knowledgeable Solutions Educator is available to help customers get the most from their wireless device and mobile experience as well as other Cox products and services, such as programming your DVR from multiple devices.

"Throughout the Solutions Store, customers learn how easy it is to use many of the features and services of Cox Wireless, leaving with personalized knowledge that makes them feel excited and empowered in the wireless world," stated Chris Pantoya, Vice President of Sales for Cox Virginia. "The retail experience provides complete entertainment and communications solutions, providing the convenience of one-stop-shopping and making it easy for consumers to see the 'wow!' of integrating Cox products and services."
