Sound in games are extremely essential for a complete gaming experience, and with the advent of multiplayer FPS titles, this fact cannot be stressed any less. The Creative Fatal1ty USB gaming headset helps you stay on top of things, featuring a detachable microphone for you to give orders to your team mates as you plot to make short work of the enemies. Features include X-Fi technology for superior audio, inline volume control and noise-cancelling technology for the optimal gaming session. Make no mistake about it - wearing the Creative Fatal1ty USB gaming headset doesn’t automatically make you play like the legend himself, although it will buy you some street cred, at least for a while before you realize that it will cost more than a $79.99 headset before your skills can further improve.

Isn’t it time you got out from the office to get an even tan all over your body? Don’t worry about moving your body to match the sun’s movements - with the NéoSunMore, you won’t even need to lift a finger as this device will rotate 360 degrees via its armrests, providing you with an even tan. I suppose there are some sort of built-in sensors that make this know just where and when to turn, so don’t expect to pay peanuts for it when it is finally available to the masses.

iD Software supremo John Carmack has leaked information that his company is working on something very special for the iPhone, and it won’t have anything to do with Doom this time round. Carmack was pretty disappointed that his team’s efforts could not be ready in time for the App Store launch, but rest assured the final product will by a “graphical tour de force”, according to the man himself. Could Carmack’s ability to code superior games on the iPhone signal the death knell for Nintendo’s DS Lite and Sony’s PSP? I don’t think so - not yet, anyway.

• 3? internal QVGA LCD screen
• T-DMB support
• 2 megapixel camera with auto focus and shake-reduction functions
• microSD/SDHC memory card slot

No idea on how much this will cost, but you can choose from Midnight Purple, Crystal Silver, Deep Pink, Champagne Gold and Ruby Red colors.

D-Link lays claim to being the first manufacturer to roll out green home network WiFi routers which are able to save up to 40% in your monthly power bill. They’re smart enough to detect cable length and link status, adjusting the power level accordingly so that you don’t have to pay more than you really should. In addition, individual routers can also be programmed to turn the Wi-Fi radio off whenever you don’t need it so that power can be saved - this is the lazy man’s way instead of walking to the power outlet and turning the switch off manually. The new routers with this green technology include the D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router DIR-665, Xtreme N Duo Media Router DIR-855 and the Xtreme N Gaming Router DGL-4500.

You might have heard about it before, but NVIDIA has had some problem with defective chips recently and at Dell, up to ten different ten models carry potentially defective Nvidia GPUs. Previously, HP laptops were also reportedly using these chips as well, which is not a surprise given that they all come from the same pool. At this point, it’s not very clear how many laptops are affected and what the precise cause is (other than “overheating”), but just this morning, I had a friend telling me how his Asus G1S (GeForce 8600M GT) fried. It was fortunately replaced by Asus without any further problems. Dell has issued a patch to alliviate the problem, but it seems to do little more than cranking up the fan speed, making more noise at the same time.

Fans of the Lego Technic line will definitely find this new two-seat off-roader to be a worthwhile pursuit, since it is powered by realistic-looking a V8 engine (scaled down, of course). Perfect for kids who are looking forward to grow up and being a mechanical engineer of sorts. Features include an integrated motorized Power Functions to raise and lower its ground clearance, operate the front-mounted winch or turn on the LED headlights. In addition, you will also get the benefit of stylish hydraulic gull-wing doors, opening trunk and hatch, motorized suspension to raise and lower the truck and a working steering system. Watch out for the Lego Technic Off Roader from next month onwards for approximately £90.

It’s summer and isn’t it time you got out of the house to get a little bit of tan on that pale body? If you’re so hard up on not letting the Wiimote go, why not settle for a Wii-controlled canoe? The boat you see in the video above is powered by a tiny electric motor, where a modified Wii Nunchuck is used with an Arduino to steer the canoe. This will last as long as the batteries don’t die (naturally), where you’ll then need to rely on paddle power instead.

Word on the street has it that the upcoming Lenovo IdeaPad will come with the following features and specifications :-

• 14.1″ WXGA display


• 2GB RAM


• 160GB hard drive


• Vista Home Basic


• DVD burner


• NVIDIA 256MB GeForce 9300M GS


• Wi-Fi connectivity

Don’t take our word for it that this is the final list of specifications, and your guess is as good as mine when it comes to pricing. Strange that there is no SSD option.

Here’s a painting method that they don’t’ teach at school. English artist Ian Cook does his painting with remote control cars of various sizes. He dips them into acrylic paint, and controls them to create his masterpieces. He calls it “Popbang Colur”. His latest work is a painting of a new Camaro, which was painted using remote control cars of General Motors vehicles. It’s currently on display at the British International Motor Show, and Cook himself will be doing a live demonstration by painting a Chevrolet Lacetti World Touring Car on August 3rd.
