Razer’s latest device was not named after another poisonous snake, presumably because it is not a mouse. Nevertheless, the company remains true to its roots to develop hardware for the gaming community, and the Razer Moray+ is the latest to hit the deck. Specially designed for gamers and other folk who listens to music and values mobility in their choice of an audio companion, the Moray+ includes a microphone alongside adapters to be used with your Sony PSP 2000/3000 and the Nintendo DS Lite/DSi. Apart from that, a thicker cable enhances durability while doing away with entanglement, where extended bass, passive noise isolation and interchangeable ear-buds were retained from its predecessor.

Once in a while comes a vehicle that will stop traffic, and most of the times these comprise of some hot-blooded supercar from a respected marquee. Well, how about this strange looking Bike-Car from Italy that looks as though it was conjured from the very same mind that thought up of the fictional Frankenstein? Clearly the designer was confused enough that he could not make up his mind as to design a motorbike or a car, ending up with this weird amalgamation. Hopefully there will be a detached version of this in the future, letting the bike disconnect from the car segment whenever one is faced with a traffic jam. Of course, you’d best put in enough coins for the “car” in the parking meter unless you want to be greeted by a parking ticket when you return.

Sony’s back with a new DVD recorder in the form of the VRD-MC6 – the next generation multi-function DVDirect DVD recorder which is touted to transfer both high-definition and standard-definition home videos and digital photos to DVD discs without the need for a computer acting as a middleman. What makes the new VRD-MC6 model so special? While we’re going to look at it in further detail right after the jump, let me share with you an open secret – the device comes with a 2.7″ color LCD display that is handy for previewing video files, and you can also use it to check out up to half a dozen digital photos simultaneously. In addition, the wonders of modern technology and miniaturization has made it nearly 60% smaller compared to its predecessor.

It can be a pretty harsh blow moving on from being a full and able bodied person to a quadriplegics for some due to an accident or other circumstances, but then again there is always the resilient human spirit that is inherent in each and every one of us to make the best of all situations. Well, those who are in wheelchairs need not despair, as there is a new tongue controller that was specially designed to give quadriplegics the ability to operate external devices like wheelchairs and computers. Recently, results from a clinical trial that involved testing the capabilities of the interface for the severely handicapped have been presented at the annual meeting of the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA), proving that the tongue controller is intuitive and precise enough to be used by patients within a short period of time.

Over on CG-UK we’ve scored an interview with a couple of senior people in Sony’s TV division with a slight twist – you get to ask the questions!

The interview is with Sony Europe so obviously any questions about product range or marketing will be limited to that region, but the technology is universal so if you’ve got a question about Sony TV/Blu-ray products or technology now’s your chance to ask.

We will be submitting the questions to Sony next Monday so you’ve got the rest of this week to think about it. To see who’s taking part in the interview and find out how to submit your questions, head over to the post on CG-UK.

It seems with back to school creeping closer and closer, more companies are releasing new sets of speakers to go with students as they had into college.  Just like several of the others that have been seen, these come in everything from black to the brightly colored.  They also feature colors that match your iPod Nano.  These keep things pretty small and minimal, so they could easily be tucked back at the corner of your desk or dresser.  That makes them a nice addition for students stuck in a dorm this coming semester.
