Wacom’s Intuos3
Wacom’s Intuos3 is to die for. I like their latest addition, Intuos3 4×6. It’s small, handy and works great with wide screen display and multiple monitors. With an Intuos3 Grip Pen that gives it the power of preassure-sensitive control, what more can one ask for? This is a real must have. Christmas might be over … Continue reading

While it is not a complete takeover, unlike that of the Google-YouTube Deal, Blinkx will license its software technology to Microsoft. Blinkx will also power some part of MSN and Live.com (which is interestingly like Google, by the way — layout and everything minus … Continue reading
