Thinking of sprucing up the desktop with a functional accessory that looks good at the same time? You won’t really go wrong with the Nexspeaker FS-701SW sound system. It comes in the form of a boat, featuring 7.5 watt left and right channel speakers that are integrated into the sails itself. As for the boat’s hull, it doubles up as a 15-watt woofer for a little bit more ‘oomph’ in your music. This is guaranteed to be a conversation starter, and makes to be a great ice breaker at home or at the office. The Nexspeaker FS-701SW sails into your home or office for approximately $57 a pop.

Researchers at Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) have successfully developed an autonomous humanoid robot which is capable of recognizing and using body language in order to get the message across. This would bode well as the robot tries to communicate with young children, the elderly as well as computer-illiterate. It is packed with technology that enables it to observe, recognize and remember human behavior, but chances are it is still a long time in coming before you can get something like the T-800’s caliber in real life.
Looks like the HD DVD camp aren’t going to take things lying down, with a customary blurry spy pic of Wal-Mart offering a Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player that will retail for $198, dipping under the magical $200 mark. These units won’t go on sale until the third of next month with each store receiving 18 of such units. It seems that this will be a “non-replenishable item”, so chances are once it is gone, you won’t be able to get it at that price any more. We’ve said it before - 
According to Jon Rubinstein, Palm’s new chairman, his company is still approximately one and a half year off the mark from launching a new Linux-based operating system. Guess the new Palm OS will have to wait until 2009 - can the company hold out till then with the sure deluge of smartphones that will be released between now and then?

LG has just rolled out the E300-AP75K notebook that will be an addition to the XNOTE line of notebooks, making it one of the smallest and lightest systems that comes with a hybrid hard drive (160GB hard drive with 256MB flash memory).
