Weight-adjustable mice are nothing new, they just tend to get ignored. Sharkoon(The company that can’t decide if it’s a shark or a raccoon) is hoping that a fiery exterior will get your attention. It not only has the flame motiff, but the slug chamber looks like the chamber in a gun. Probably symbolic of you biting the bullet and actually buying one.

So to summarize, the Rush FireGlider has flames, a no-slip grip, a half dozen programmable buttons, maximum resolution of 3,600 DPI, Teflon feet for superior gliding and an internal tuning system to adjust its weight from 118 to 135 grams. Oh yeah and the bullet chamber thing.

Aside from Lenovo’s W700ds ThinkPad, and maybe one or two other offerings, frankly, most things branded Lenovo aren’t all that exciting. That includes Lenovo’s ThinkCentre line, which is understandable as they’re not aimed at gamers

What they’ve done here is shrink the size of towers. The ThinkCentre A58 and M58e feature Intel Core 2 Duo / Core 2 Quad CPUs, onboard graphics, up to 1TB of HDD space, 4GB of RAM and up, and optional Blu-ray drives.

MSI has been busy lately, releasing a bunch of notebooks and even an all-in-one. Now they are showing off the VX600.

This notebook sports a 15.4-inch (1280 x 800) display, Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD3410 graphics, up to 4GB memory, up to 320GB storage, and both 6 and 9-cell battery options. The company has even incorporated their ECO Engine Power Management System, which lets you choose from five power saving modes, which should give you more battery life. (Gaming, Movie, Presentation, Office, and Turbo Battery).

Just so you know, this is a piece of Samsung marketing material. It also happens to be pretty damn amazing and may make you judge your own computer unfit. A bunch of Samsung geeks strung 24 256GB SSD drives together in a RAID with the hopes of making the fast SSD drives even faster.

The system reaches transfer speeds of 2GBps. Here’s what that means in simple terms. All of Microsoft Office opens in .5 seconds, 53 programs from the test rig’s Start menu open in 18 seconds and the entire system defrags in about 3 seconds. In comic book terms, this is like if the Flash did a line of coke, drank a case of jolt cola, snorted pure sugar and for some reason his butt is was on fire. Yeah, its that fast!

Things might have turned out a little differently had the iPhone been released back in the 1980s. What you’re looking at is dubbed the Touch Screen Rotary. A home phone that looks like it comes from a parallel universe, combining old school with some modern functionality.

The rotary dial has been replaced with touch controls next to a backlit display that shows you who’s calling thanks to built-in caller ID. For the outside, designer Mark Miller decided on a highly polished ABS lined with a frosted polycarbonate base which will provide a soft glow each time you get a call.

If yesterday’s Apple rumor got your attention , Dow Jones Newswire has chimed in with their own sources and a few extra tidbits.

They more or less report the same story, that Apple is allegedly planning a touchscreen netbook for release later this year. But the new report mentions a display size of “between 9.7-inches and 10-inches,”. As for what form-factor it will take, that’s still a mystery.

There have been plenty of conceptual gadgets that claim to control computers with just the brain, but the difficulty is getting them ready for the commercial market. That’s where NaturalPoint comes in. They are serving up a new pair of SmartNav 4 human-computer interface devices that will let users control all basic tasks with just by using their noggin.

The AT and EG models are designed so that physically handicapped individuals can control their PCs like a Jedi, moving the mouse around by with head movements and selecting commands and phrases on a virtual keyboard. Like Stephen Hawking for instance.

Projectors come in many different shapes and sizes. Each projector is aimed at a specific usage scenario from giving presentations in the boardroom or office to watching HD movies on a massive screen in the home. Sanyo announced its latest professional projector today that is appropriate for movies and more.

The projector is called the PDG-DHT100L and it offers full 1080p resolution. The single chip DLP projector uses a dual lamp system for increased light output when needed and has a user changeable twin color wheel system that increases color reproduction.

For many years, Microsoft has made a line of computer peripherals like mice, keyboards, and web cams. Microsoft has over the last few years reintroduced its line of SideWinder gaming peripherals and today the software giant announced that it was entering into a new peripheral category for notebooks.

Microsoft has introduced the Notebook Cooling Base that helps keep notebooks running cool. The device features a built-in fan and a cooling channel on a base that fits any notebook and is designed for use on the desktop or on a users lap.

Gaming computers tend to be very expensive systems that pack all sorts of the latest technology into a machine designed to allow gamers to play games. At CES this year one of the coolest things I saw on display was the NVIDIA 3D vision 3D system. The system includes glasses and requires a special monitor to operate but provides slick and realistic 3D effects.

Boutique gaming desktop maker iBuyPower has announced a pair of new gaming desktops that are bundled with everything you need for 3D gaming at great prices. The machines include the Gamer Fire 640 and the Gamer Paladin F830. The Gamer Fire 640 runs an AMD Phenom II X3 720 CPU, 4GB of RAM, 500GB HDD, NVIDIA 9800GTX+ graphics and 64-bit Vista all for an MSRP of $1,349.

Gaming notebooks are great for gamers who either don’t have the room for a full-size desktop computer or who like to travel with their computer. One of the biggest problems with gaming machines is that they are expensive and tend to have less battery life than other notebooks.

MSI has announced its most recent gaming notebook called the GT 628. The machine uses the new NVIDIA GTS 160M GPU that NVIDI promises delivers 50% more performance than the video card it replaces. The GTS 160M also features 1GB of DDR3 RAM.

The Netbook arena is jam packed, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for one more manufacturer. In this case, OEM hardware maker OCZ. They’ve launched their first netbook, the OCZ Neutrino. The OCZ Neutrino will come with a 10 inch LED backlit LCD display with a resolution of 1024 x 600, 2GB memory, and the Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor.

The basic model comes with a 250GB hard drive, but you have the option to have a 250GB SSD at for additional cost, built in WiFi, Ethernet, a 1.3MP web camera and a 4-in-1 card reader.

Those looking for a powerful PC with an affordable price tag can choose from one of six new versions of this desktop from Mouse Computer. For around €800, you can get a MDV Advance ST 6300B with a Core i7 920 CPU running at 2.66GHz clock speed, 3GB of PC3-10600 RAM, 1TB of HDD, X58 Chipset, DVD Super Multi, 512MB of GeForce 9800GT and a choice of Windows XP or Vista 32bit.

You can also spend around €2000 on the MDV Advance ST 7200X with a 3.2GHz Core i7-965 CPU, 12GB of PC3-10600 RAM, 1TB of HDD, X58 Chipset, Blu-Ray burner and player, GeForce GTX 285 with 1GB of VRAM and Vista 64bit. The LCD screen is not included.

Battery life? Who needs it when you have 12GB of RAM, 1TB of HDD a 1GB GeForce GTX 260M (or two if you desire), a Blu-ray Drive and a 17″ screen? That seems to be the question that Asus is posing here. Asus really pulled out all the stops with its newest gaming laptop, the G71gx.

They have our attention. Yes, it’s a true desktop in laptop form. No word on price or availability yet, so you have some time to save up. So what if toting this thing around will kill your back, and who cares if it has a battery life of about 5 minutes. We’re talking power!

This may come as shock to you, but you are wasting energy. Everyday. How about giving back, simply by plugging into your wall? It may come sooner than you think. Nearly every room in our home has an electrical outlet. What if each one had a matching electrical “inlet” so you could give some back?

The idea is that adapter kits would be made available to convert common household products into energy-generating devices. Things like exercise equipment, for instance. Maybe even the wheel in your hamster’s cage.
