MX 1000 Laser Cordless Mouse

Juniper Foo | Nov 18, 2004

Logitech's latest mechanical rodent appears to be a veritable Speedy Gonzalas. As the world's first laser-guided mouse, this input device claims to be 20x more accurate than the LED-based optical sensors which is good news for gamers and hardware enthusiasts. Laser technology enables the mouse to see more microscopic detail, and hence greater responsiveness. It's also the first mouse with a four-level integrated battery indicator. We like that it juices up in its dock within 10 minutes for a full day's use, or 21 days on a 3-4-hour charge. One small step for mice, one giant leap for mousekind?

hip-e

Juniper Foo | Nov 03, 2004

A PC that wants to be an iMac? That's the hip-e, which Digital Lifestyle Group is positioning as the world's first lifestyle computer for teens. Although it'll be the poor parents coughing out the US$1,699 for this one-stop entertainment desktop with customizable keyboard designs--from fuzzy pink to leopard skin. What's actually cool are the speakers which can be removed and turned into a beatbox. But other than that, smart teens could rig up their own hip-e, Sim Lim Square-style, at half the cost, leopard skin paintwork included.
