iBuyerPower Creates 3D Gaming Desktop Bundles

by H on March 13, 2009

iBuyerPower created two 3D-ready gaming desktop bundles using Nvidia 3D vision kit and thrown in a nice looking 22-inch Samsung SyncMaster LCD. Quick thinking from iBuyPower, push out Nvidia 3D vision kit in a PC bundle without the consumer headache of compatibility.

If you can afford the initial price then this would be the ultimate gaming machine, no reason why you cant use this for watching 3D movies too!

New iPod shuffle can talk Mandarin

by H on March 12, 2009

Apple has launched a new iPod shuffle to their impressive collection, it now talks to you at a touch of a button, VoiceOver. Now when listening to your favourite tracks and you want to find another song, just press a button on the iPod, it tells you the title and artist, even songs in your playlists.
The new iPod now has multiple playlists, allowing smooth integration with the VoiceOver functionality, letting you find tracks without disruption. It works using iTunes to read your song information from your Library, then uses the new VoiceOver Kit to generate the announcements for the songs, artists, and playlists on your iPod shuffle.

The style of voice you hear announcing your track details and playlists is dependent on either a Mac or PC, its going to sound better on a Mac .. right.

You have a choice of 14 language’s for the VoiceOver from English to Mandarin, you can play around with the voice settings in iTunes.

Sounds like fun .. I said that in French!
