Posted Mar 9th 2008 1:37PM by Joshua TopolskyFiled under: Portable AudioWord on the street (and by street, we mean mostly British tabloids) is that Paul McCartney’s deal to sell the Beatles back-catalog is done, and the Greatest Works of Musical Art Ever Recorded will be appearing on the iTunes store “within months.” Of course, we’ve been hearing whispers about this for what seems like a million years, and since both Apple Corps and Apple are delivering “no comment” and “rumor and speculation” responses on the topic, we won’t get too excited. Still, there does seem to be some serious movement on this front, with everyone and their mother saying the lot is to be sold any day now for around $400 million — which is no small sum.

Posted Mar 9th 2008 11:38AM by Darren MurphFiled under: Misc. gadgets Keeping with the Tangent tradition, the Quattro Mk 2 looks an awful lot like most every other tabletop radio the outfit cranks out. Nevertheless, this particular iteration pays no mind to DAB and focuses its attention on providing access to a smorgasbord of internet radio stations. Aside from featuring both integrated WiFi and an Ethernet port, you’ll also get WPA2 security support, FM tuning capabilities, a backlit LCD, a headphone jack and a auxiliary port for connecting DAPs / PMPs.

Earlier this year we raved about the FPS Gaming Vest that punches you when you get shot, well if you don’t fancy being punched there is now an alternative, Mindwire V5 gives you physical feedback by way of electric shocks. History of the Mindwire V5 “How much better would games such as Mortal Kombat or Streetfighter be if you were ELECTROCUTED each time you were hit!” Sudenly there’s something to play for. Watch your opponent squirm as you beat him to a pulp, and fear every one of your opponents blows as you know its going to do a lot more than make your little animated character full backwards… The Mindwire V5 works by connecting electrical pads to your body these then deliver a mild (we hope) shock when playing games.

Asus has revealed the Asus MS71 at CeBIT08. The mouse opens up into two parts: a USB drive that doubles as a mouse transmitter and a wireless laser mouse with a scroll wheel. The mouse has a magnetic locking mechanism that attaches to the transmitter so you can charge it. Pretty handy for those on the go who hate using that stupid touchpad!

Some USB gadget manufacturer somewhere decided to stick several USB objects together and slap a label on the product resulting in the USB Desk Assortment and Gift Set. What gadgets are included?
There’s a light so you can see in the dark, a warmer to keep that java fresh and warm, a lighted cup to stick stuff in and a mini vacuum to pick up those crumbs from your flavor saver. There’s also a button, but whatever you do, don’t press it. Don’t.
Gimmie!
Suggested Price: $14.99

That great perpetrator of worldly ills, the cosmic ray, has at last met its match. Intel has patented the concept of an on-chip detector of cosmic rays which would auto-correct for soft errors caused by the cosmic ray’s interference. Apparently Intel is concerned that cosmic rays — those perky particles from space that blast through the Earth’s atmosphere and tamper with your precious bodily fluids — are going to become “a major limiter of computer reliability in the next decade” as chips get smaller and smaller.

Data security in today’s work environment is of the utmost importance. In the worst case scenarios not having a backup of all recent data could spell doom for any PC user. HDD based solutions are available but they require almost an infrastructure of USB wires/ dongles at hand. The SanDisk FlashBack Adapter plugs into the ExpressCard slot found on many Windows laptops today. Into the adapter is plugged a SD or SDHC memory card, which is sold separately. These two items work in conjunction with user installed software on the laptop itself to offer real time backups of important files directly from the computer to the memory card. (Read the full post about ‘SanDisk FlashBack Adapter - Realtime backup in a flash.’…)
