Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 made especially for Windows Vista

Finally when Vista Software is out on the market the Microsoft Corporation has released its new wireless mouse and keyboard. The Microsoft Wireless Entertainment desktop 7000 is a set of a keyboard and rechargeable mouse.

The mouse is the Microsoft's first rechargeable mouse and they have made it great. First of all, the mouse and the keyboard work using Bluetooth technology. They can work from up to 30 feet away from you computer. Not bad for a keyboard, huh.

Why is it made for Vista? Additional buttons like multimedia and some gadget buttons are placed on the keyboard. These buttons will work only with Windows Vista because only Vista has a "gadget" side-bar. And there are a lot of them, in addition to multimedia buttons that have become usual for a keyboard. The multimedia buttons will let you remotely control all the devices that are connected using Windows Media Center; this makes your keyboard a cool remote control.

Mouse keys are specially created for Vista too. For example, pushing the middle button (scroll) will let you see the thumbnails of all the windows that you have opened. The other cool function that is added: You can magnify a portion of the screen. This will help you when viewing some pictures, or reading small fonts.

Being made in grey colors the keyboard and the mouse will match any computer white or black. Besides, the keyboard is made thin and the buttons are pressed easily and don't make much noise.

The first rechargeable mouse made by Microsoft? Yes it is. The mouse has a rechargeable battery and you can charge it when you do not use the mouse. I think that would be at night, or when you are at work.

The Lord of the iRing

Nowadays great efforts are made in order to simplify our life activity. Thus, there is no need to spare a lot of time in order to perform any operation because just a single touch is enough for modern devices to understand what exactly you want them to do. However, we should never stop at what has been accomplished.


Victor Soto who designed a new interesting gadget also adheres to this principle. His concept iRing represents a high-end ring, which helps you by means of Bluetooth technology and a tiny touch screen to control Apple devices, such as iPod and iPhone. Although it's available just in two colors - black and white - it can be considered as a very stylish device with well-known Apple symbol on it. This Apple symbol serves as an indicator that shows a current state of a device, which is under iRing's control. There is no need to take iPod out of your pocket in case you want to change track. Built-in battery will ensure a few days of continuous functioning. So, you can charge it just two or three times a week.

The significant advantage of this gadget is the fact that it is hard to lose it. Moreover, those who have some Apple things most likely will love it because they will be able to control their favorite devices by means of a single ring. Yet, sometimes they will be forced to take their iPods or iPhones out in order to perform more complex operations.

New silicon fiber technology will be most likely used in PCs

There seems to be no stopping progress in data transferring technologies. The optical fiber cables haven’t yet replaced all the old-fashioned copper cables where it is possible – in the phone lines,television cables and Internet providers' networks, and now high-speed fibers have been unexpectedly upgraded. The latest novelty has been first seen in South Carolina at Clemson University where scientist managed to expand optical fiber's bandwidth and other stats, which were already big enough.

So what could scientists apply to an already thought out technology? What they did, is a simple and small switch between materials that are used in optical fibers. Inside of the standard mass produced fibers is a special type of glass. Glass is exactly that element which makes optical fiber transparent. This glass was changed for a better use of silicon. Silicon made practically all parameters grow in a better way. Among them are data transfer speed, energy consumption, bandwidth, etc. Unfortunately we don't have any numeric results because the concept is not yet finished. Researchers face a problem with production technology. To substitute glass with silicon they used an old one, which is standardized for the glass. When they will come up with a technology specialized for silicon, the results will grow further.

How ever that may, there is some more to tell about silicon optical fiber. The fact that bandwidth is expanded greatly gave researchers a clue to use it in some other hi-tech fields. It may now be used in lots of electronic gadgets as silicon allows a much better data transfer speed in different wavelengths. Primarily it will be useful in PCs of course. Silicon optical fiber is able to decrease electricity consumption and processing time.All that is expected, but not in the nearest future unfortunately. Developers of the technology hope to start sales in a year or more.

USB stick which makes Online Banking safer

Online banking is a very popular thing nowadays, mainly because it is very convenient - you can make any kind of transaction right from your home computer, without need to go to nearest bank.However, this convenient way of managing your finances has its flaws, one of them - security problem. There is a big variety of viruses and hacks, so any information that remains on your computer can be potentially stolen or erased. When we are talking about bank accounts this threat seems serious. So, what should we do to protect ourselves from being robbed by an anonymous hacker? Today, IBM presented its vision on Online Banking Security , which will do all online banking functions bypassing user's PC. Details follow.

This device looks just like the ordinary USB Stick , with a display and smartcard slot, that needs to be connected to user's computer. Then, it creates secure connection channel to bank's online transaction server. This connection completely bypasses user's PC, which means that no information is saved or stored on it. That way, even if PC is infected with unknown virus or malware, no precious information will be harmed - this is what this device is about. Built-in display could be used for transaction log and validation, and smartcard slot add an extra layer of security and protects transmissions from man-in-the-middle interceptions.

The cure for online banking paranoia is called Zone Trusted Information Channel, and it works by running the Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS/SSL) protocol, including TLS engine and a networking proxy. This was made to completely remove any risks of data interception by viruses on host PC, so even if PC is heavily infected, there will remain nothing from your online banking session to be worried for.

This USB Gadget has many advantages; with it you can make online transmissions from virtually any PC without worrying about safety of your account information. One of the greatest advantages is that it is fully based on existing security protocols, which means that there is no need for upgrading bank servers - no changes required. Developers claim that this security device will be compatible with all major operating systems, and it is ready for bank trials.
