Chrome OS tablet coming soon...


Chrome OS tablet

               Its not just Android tablets that Google wants to get out there in the markets    and compete with all the other tablets available. The latest rumor shows that Google’s Chrome OS tablet is being built by HTC and that it will be available for purchase via Verizon on November 26th. 
It looks like Chrome OS tablet would be a decent competitor to the iPad and from what we have heard, it will be a lot cheaper than the iPad. In fact, the Chrome OS tablet might even be free but it will come with Verizon’s data contract.
                As for the hardware specifications   Chrome OS tablet will use NVIDIA Tegra 2 platform and it will come with 1280 x 720 pixel multi-touch display. Besides that, this tablet will use 2GB of RAM which will be more than enough to run all your applications with ease. As for the storage space, Chrome OS tablet uses 32GB SSD, and that space can be easily expanded. Besides that, it comes with standard features such as 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and a webcam.

WarMouse Meta

Mice

                         The relationship between the keyboard and the mouse has long been a rocky one, especially where PC gaming is concerned. One is loaded with buttons but offers no fine-tuned movement control; the other gives you near-complete freedom of movement, but few interaction options. It's been essentially impossible to play any but the simplest of games with only one or the other. But that could soon change thanks to the new WarMouse Meta ($79 list), a gaming mouse for Windows, Mac, and Linux that's loaded with 19 buttons and a joystick. If this doesn't cure your button-hunger, nothing will.


                        With most of the buttons on the mouse's top face (including the scroll-wheel button), and one button and the joystick (or "altstick," as WarMouse calls it) on the mouse's left side, the WarMouse Meta does not look like any mouse you've ever seen. Nor does it behave like any other mouse but whether that's a good thing or a bad thing for you will depend entirely on how you use your computer and how willing you are to relearn everything you thought you knew about mousing. One thing's for sure: Whether you love or hate the WarMouse Meta & you'll never look at another mouse in quite the same way again.

The State of Windows 7 Gaming

             Do you think-the state of Windows gaming is still strong?


             Nine months after Windows 7 hit the market, Microsoft has rehabilitated its reputation on desktop PCs. The company has effectively banished memories of Vista's poor performance. Still, PC game sales have been off this year, sometimes by more than a few percentage points, depending on the study.


             Some of the issues affecting Windows 7 gaming in mid-2010,some issues transcend the PC. i.e a big part of the problem is the increasing amount of cash it takes to develop a top-notch game—PC, console, or otherwise.
