Another week of tech news
Wireless Power
It appears that the boffins at MIT, have come up with a system that could supply power to portable devices such as laptops, mobiles and MP3 players, and all through the use of magnetic fields. I don't know about you, but the idea of more magnetic fields, than we already have, worries me, but the MIT boffins have said that the proposed system uses magnetic fields that shouldn't affect humans. Scientists know their stuff, don't they? I'm taking a wait and see posture on this one ... if they are right, then it'll be cool. I wonder though, could someone use this system as a weapon? I hope not.
Nikon D40 Officially Announced
So the rumours going around the digital photography sites have proven to be right, Nikon officially announced the release of their new D40 D-SLR. This 6 megapixel plus baby is supposed be the smallest, lightest, easiest DSLR Nikon have made to date. Featuring In-Camera Editing, a 2.5 inch display, SD Card compatible and bundled with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor lens, it'll be worth checking out. At US$599 it could be on many shopping lists this Christmas.
Dell Release Quad core XPS
Dalls new XPS 710 is tricked out with Intel's 2.66GHz Core 2 Extreme QX6700 quad-core CPU. Talk about Multi-Thread heaven. The 710 also has four memory slots and seven expansion slots. Starting at US$3,699 - I'm wondering what the cost here in the UK is going to be. Update - UK pricing starts at £2,749
More PS3 Mayhem
In my last post I made a few comments about the whole PS3 insanity ... so a few robberies and brawls later it continues, visit Engadget for more crazy stories and links.
