Join LG DX2500 glasses-free 3D monitor
LG Electronics has just added another feather to its cap with a glasses-free 3D monitor – and not only that, their latest effort will also not go to waste, considering how it is also the first in the market that will be on the receiving end of the TÜV Rheinland certification for a glasses-free 3D monitor.
The 25″ DX2500 will see the incorporation of glasses-free parallax barrier 3D and head-tracking technologies, and Si-hwan Park, Vice President of the Monitor Division at LG’s Home Entertainment Company, says, “LG is taking glasses-free 3D monitors mainstream with the DX2500. With the DX2500, we are making the LG brand synonymous with glasses-free 3D monitors. In 2012, we’ll continue to expand our range of glasses-free 3D monitors featuring different designs and advanced functions.”

Glass keyboard and mouse: Handle with Care
Kickstarter certainly has a lot of terrific things that I would love to see on the market, and this one looks like something that Apple would try to put out.
This is designed by Jason Giddings, and it uses Frustated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR) technology with an embedded camera to pick up infrared light reflected off the inside walls. I’m not certain what that means, but it is to insure the device knows where you are tapping.
By the way, the software that was developed for these particular devices is open source, which means you can have some serious user manipulation going on this. Also, this glass keyboard comes with a glass mouse, which you can see after the jump.

Interactive weather results arrive in 34 different languages
When it comes to predicting the weather, our ancestors of yore did not have the relevant tools, but rather, the sought out a medicine man who interpreted the signs of the sky and perhaps even decided that there is a pattern in the way tea leaves form and congregate at the bottom of your cup to come up with an answer. I am quite sure that such a person would be an extremely observant one, who most probably have already taken note of the seasonal changes while everyone one went about their business before setting up a legitimate claim as being able to “intervene” with the heavens on behalf of his fellow men – for a price, of course.
Well, it is nice to know that technology has propelled us so far forward that weather prediction systems are more or less very accurate these days – so much so that you can trust the reports before going out to meet your friends while leaving your laundry drying in the backyard. Sure, there are times when even the most sensitive equipment will get it wrong, but then again, nothing is 100% foolproof in this world except for death and taxes. Google also has a hand in predicting the weather and delivering its results to the masses – and this time around, Google decided to roll out interactive weather information in mobile search results that will come in another 33 languages – bringing the grand total to 34, of course.

Cotton Candy offers Android on platforms other than phones and tablets
I myself am quite surprised (pleasantly, of course) at the progress that Google’s Android mobile operating system has made since it was introduced just a few years back. I clearly remember the first few Android smartphones from HTC that did not really do that well in the market, but over the years, things have changed a whole lot – and now, more than 50% of smartphones in the US are running on some version of Android or another. In fact, Google intends to bring Android’s presence to just about everywhere, and FXI Technologies’ Cotton Candy USB device is said to aid Google’s quest.
Basically, FXI’s idea is to deliver an ultra-lean computer that is confined within the physical limitations of a small USB stick. Using it is simple – as long as the device supports USB storage, plug in the Cotton Candy and you’re good to go as it registers as a USB drive. Once that is done, you are able to run the Android OS in a secure environment within your desktop, thanks to the presence of a Windows/OSX/Linux-compatible virtualization client that is embedded in the device itself.

AOC Aire Pro Monitor sheds the fat
It seems that Apple’s work with an aluminum unibody device has proved to be a masterstroke and an inspiration to many other companies, as you see HTC also employing a unibody design in their range of Android-powered smartphones. Well, aluminum is also liberally used in the AOC Aire Pro Monitor, coming in a sleek and brushed form factor, making it the perfect complement to modern homes and offices.
This is a 23″ metallic monitor that boasts one of the slimmest display panels in the world, measuring just 9.2mm thin while boasting an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel. IPS panels are said to be superior compared to other kinds of technology, where it will deliver consistent image appearance and colors across the entire display, never mind if you are viewing from an extreme viewing angle.

Innergie mCube Slim 95 Compact 95W Universal Adapter
As someone who has had their computer cord replaced twice, I know the price of having to purchase a new one (it will usually run $100). Since it is always good to have another cord around for your laptop, I recommend using the mCubeSlim95.
The mCube Slim 95 is a compact 95 W Universal Adapter that is not just for laptops, but netbooks and other portable devices. The user can even charge two devices at once, as it comes with a USB port on it along with a way to charge a laptop.
It comes with nine tips for 15 brands of 95 watt laptops. It took me a while to find mine, but I hooked it up and was getting power quite quickly. The mCube Slim 95 is compatible with an Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, Gateway, HP/Compaq, IBM Lenovo, LG, MSI, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba.
