There are many different things about your computer that are good to keep an eye on, especially if you’re one that enjoys pushing your PC to the limit. I tend to push my PC pretty hard, which means I need to keep an eye on the temperatures at all times. There are generally two options here: keep a software monitor running on desktop taking up valuable screen space, or you can have an lcd monitor installed on the front of your computer. Neither one is all that appealing to me, which is why I’m intrigued by this Gadget Display. This little gadget is a 2-inch color LCD screen which connects to your PC via USB.

Posted Mar 23rd 2008 12:51PM by Ryan BlockFiled under: Peripherals We’re still a little hazy as to exactly what ASUS’s new Splendid HD1 “video enhance card” actually does differently than most other 2D-enhanced devices, but the company claims it ratchets up 1080p video quality on both digital and analog outputs, and it’ll fit in right along side those Splendid-based Xondar cards. Of course, it’s also got HDCP (which is a start), but it’s starting to smell a little gimmicky around here, splendid or not.[Via Far East Gizmos]Tags: DVD, players, mobile devices, PDA (Read the full post about ‘ASUS releases Splendid HD1 video card, sure does have a way with names’…)

Posted Mar 23rd 2008 11:01AM by Darren MurphFiled under: RobotsGranted, Macroswiss’ 4WD Spybot is quite capable of handling most everything warfare can toss at it, but as these things always go, great is never good enough. Reportedly, said outfit is now working with the US Army Rapid Equipping Force to develop a 6×6 SpyRobot with the ability to carry four times its own weight and fit snugly within a backpack. The aforesaid critter will be “an important new tool for the detection, recognition and identification of targets from a distance,” and of course, it’ll be packed to the brim with sensors of all varieties. Per usual, there’s no word on when the finalized unit will be ready to hit the san (Read the full post about ‘Macroswiss building battlefield-ready SpyRobot 6×6′…)

Not much is known about Motorola’s upcoming Motorola ZN5 except that it’s supposed to be a 5-megapixel Kodak camera-equipped candy bar handset with a Montavista Linux 2.6.1 OS. Unwired View is reporting about a few additional, if a bit disappointing features including 2.5G GSM/GPRS connectivity, 320×240 QVGA display, so-so multimedia capability (Mpeg4 playback) and a bulky camera mechanism. But Motorola has been mum on the issue so far and even that leaked video showing the upcoming Moto phones has been taken down. So right now, the details about this phone are really scarce.

How many buttons does your mouse have? Many people would say three, while plenty of others might say five. However, if you were using this next mouse, you’d proudly answer with 11. I can understand using a few extra buttons when gaming, or even for multimedia purposes, however, this 11 Button Multimedia Mouse just seems like overkill. It looks like there are buttons for volume, play/pause, page forward, page backward, internet and even double-click. I’ve really never found it all that difficult to click on the Firefox icon, but I guess it would save you around a second or so of hard work. However, I can’t possibly understand why someone would need a button to double click for them. (Read the full post about ‘11 Button Multimedia mouse does more than just click’…)

These plant examining glasses bring technology developed by NASA and the Department of Agriculture and brings to your humble backyard. Put these on and you’ll be able to see areas of your lawn that may need a little help long before you’d observe the problems with your naked eyes. The lenses block out the green reflected by chlorophyll in the healthy areas of your lawn and garden, causing those areas to show as black or gray. Any unhealthy spots, deficient in chlorophyll, will show up as pink, red or coral colors. It’s the plant equivalent of full-body MRIs that detect problems before their symptoms surface. So what if you look like Rick Moranis in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, surveying your backyard in these dorky glasses that look like they came out of a box of kids’ cereal?
