WIth all intent to focus on bringing hardware closer to Vista with its Aero interface, Microsoft has just announced their Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 series keyboard and mouse set. The physical layout and aesthetics strongly follow Aero and its characteristics with a smoked translucent border that mimics the same look and feel.

Apart from the matched Aero theme used for the design of this new set, the keyboard itself also allows for instant one-touch access to the Aero exclusive Windows Flip 3D feature and a bunch of floating hot keys ready to be configured to the user's liking.

OCZ Technology has just released its newest CPU cooler, the Vendetta 2.

The Vendetta 2 is designed for all current Intel and AMD processors and uses heat pipe direct touch (HDT) design technology, which is said to dissipate heat more efficiently. It includes three pure copper heat pipes and includes two year warranty.

Cherry from In Win just alerted us that they have launched a new mid-tower gaming chassis in their Xtreme Series today called the "B2 Stealth Bomber".

From the outside, the black metallic paint finish looks stylish and resembles a similar look and feel as the bomber. It even has a sensor on the front which will open and close the front door of the case.

New Media Enterprises (NME) is not a name you would have heard of, but it is a name that's going to be well known pretty soon. These guys have made a startling announcement that they are releasing the new HD format, offering "True HD" for high definition systems. The technology according to a New York Times report is the same quality as Blu-Ray, but not as expensive to develop. The new format will be known as HD Versatile Multilayer Disc (VMD), and the New York Times states that the Media players are cheaper too.

They also say it is incompatible with Blu-ray which works on blue light lasers, apparently an inferior frequency for HD movies, but more compatible to high density disks. The new VMD layered technology however overcomes this limitation, and brings things up to speed at red light frequencies.

Firefox is seen by many as the Internet browser of choice. The reason for this is because it has worked faster than Microsoft's IE at times, and it also seems to have fewer issues when loading up websites.

With IE7 a few months old, Firefox have been a little slow in keeping pace with the frenetic updates that Microsoft seem to pump out like clockwork. I like to think it is because they (Mozilla) take their time to perfect things first.

CeBIT, the annual trade fair for Consumer Electronics and the PC industry has always been about technology. However, some people enjoy the "software" as much as the hardware.

Traditional statistics have shown that this show's target market is aimed at men from the ages of 14 to 38 years old. That being said, every year this number increases, but their overall share decreases because women are making it more apparent that they are avid fans of technology too. The theory that sex sells seems to be more than true when applied to boys and their toys but does the copious use of scantily clad women really appeal to the women?

Nadan Hadzibeganovic from Fudzilla spent all of his time at CeBIT trade show in Germany taking photos of sexy girls walking around the show floor.

Apple launched the Software Developers Kit (SDK) for the iPhone last week.

It will allow independent software developers as well as home users to create programs to work on the iPhone and iPod Touch. The SDK was promised at the MacWorld convention in January earlier this year, and true to promises the SDK is now available for both the iPhone and iPod touch.

Following recent rumours to have surfaced in relation to an alleged $8 billion takeover bid by Microsoft to swallow up its number one rival in the input device market, Logitech; we're now hearing it from the horse's mouth that this would simply be 'an operation without sense'.

During an interview for an Italian newspaper yesterday, Logitech's chairman Guerrino De Luca came forward with the above statement, reiterating the fact that without competition Logitech would lose all incentive to innovate, something they're reknowned for doing exceptionally well.

There has been plenty of talk of MSI's upcoming potential Eee PC killer and finally some details are starting to emerge through the cracks.
