Windows 7 was released today and with its release came a slew of monitors, ready to take on the interactive software. The latest addition to the Windows 7 monitor war is the HP Compaq L2105tm, redesigning Windows 7 to fit its 21 inch CCFL mutli-touch screen. The multituch is integrated into the monitor with the help of two cameras and an infrared light and sensor, all combined with a reflective field.

This technology is so good, that even the slightest bit of pressure on the screen will set off the multitouch capabilites, which in some cases is not such a good thing. The HP Compaq L2105tm monitor provides brightness up to 270cd/m2, 5 ms response time, 1000/1 contrast ratio, and 170/160 viewing angles which is an amazing achievement for a comuter monitor. More »

Yesterday, Apple released some new products and updates to their iMac, Mac Mini and Macbook line, without much fanfare. Insiders in the tech world knew something was brewing but it wasn’t hyped up like normal Apple events. The one product that stood out to me most, was the iMac. It’s a slimmer, more powerful iMac, one that now resembles a television. When I saw the pictures of the new design, I started to chuckle to myself because a few months ago, my brother, who is an avid tech/gadget follower, said to me “watch Apple come out with a TV in the future. It’s just a matter of time.” Little did I know he may have been on to something.

What this new iMac does is put Apple in a very interesting position, one that may see Apple enter the television market in a way no one has really implemented. Yes, there have been televisions with widgets (Vizio), and the ability to connect to the internet, but Apple could create something more, and maybe even better. Here’s how: More »

Elderly people hate the modern age, with all of its tech and confusing gadgetry but now it’s a proven fact that use of such tech, the Internet for example, can help them with their brain functionality and could possibly save them from the onset of dementia.

A UCLA study of a group of elderly people, from ages 55 to 78 has proven that their brains are able to adapt quickly to this new information and can possibly “alter the way the brain encodes information”. This study is rather surprising when considering the fact that many elderly dementia patients have never used the Internet in their lives. This could help the elderly stimulate their brains a bit more and let them know that the world of technology has changed, giving them a chance to get acquainted with it. So, getting your grandma that computer she hates can very well help her get used to technology, and could save her from dementia.

Beware Kindle! Here comes the new Barnes & Noble dual screened Nook ereader. This amazing, all black ereader is one of the few ereaders out on the market now that sports two screens. The screen on the bottom displays a variety of books while the top lets you read your book choice.

The Nook will definitely be giving the Kindle some competition, with the $259 price tag and the dual screens. The only thing that makes the Nook fall behind is the book selection from B&N, which is overshadowed by the thousands of books available in Amazon’s store. We’ll have to wait and see how the game plays out between these two ereaders. The Nook is expected to ship at the end of November for $259. More »
