Logitech G110 Gaming Keyboard Has More Purple Lights Than a Discoteque

Logitech’s more basic counterpart to the ridiculous G19 gaming keyboard, the G110 is screenless, playing up custom lighting with “red, blue, or pretty much any shade of purple you can imagine.” Mostly, I’m glad they finally integrated some headset jacks. https://gizmodo.com/logitech-g19-keyboard-review-5201428 The price you pay is that it’s got a single hi-speed USB port instead…

Rumor: ATI Locked in for Next-Gen Xbox Graphics?

Nothing is official, but Fudzilla’s sources suggest Microsoft liked the Xbox 360’s Xenos graphics enough to stay with ATI for its next console, possibly slated for 2012. Given the lead-time, it may even be a 28-nanometer chip. [Fudzilla via CrunchGear]

Acer Aspire Z5610 Emphasizes Style Over Speed

The Z5610 seems like a better-looking, but less powerful version of the Gateway ZX6800. Both all-in-one PCs have 23-inch (1080p) multi-touch displays, and Windows 7. But the Z5610’s 2.6GHz Pentium E5300 processor won’t match the Gateway’s Core 2 Quad chip. https://gizmodo.com/gateway-one-zx6800-zx4800-all-in-ones-go-multi-touch-f-5376053 This initial $900 Z5610 also lacks the built-in Blu-ray drive or TV tuner we…

Table-Top Black Hole Can Absorb Light

Scientists have created a table-top-sized black hole that absorbs light. And yet we’re still here, and the world hasn’t collapsed. Clearly, my high-school science classes did not adequately explain black holes to me. The black hole is made from “60 concentrically arranged layers of circuit board,” where each layer (actually created of so-called metamaterials) is…

Apple Won’t Replace Heroic, Bear-Distracting iPhone

Poor Kris Rowley. She gets chased by a bear, sacrifices her iPhone to escape, returns days later (armed with a baseball bat) to find her iPhone all chewed up, and now Apple Geniuses don’t believe her story. Things ended with Rowley buying a new iPhone because Apple doesn’t cover using the phone as a self-defense…

Commandos To Use Plasma Knives For Field Surgery

Apparently plasma knives, surgical instruments which have glowing, ionized gas as a blade, have passed Special Operations Command’s field testing and evaluation stages. Great! Now how much longer until this tech can be used to make real lightsabers? The plasma knives are vaguely similar to tools currently used in radiosurgery, but rather than heating tissue…

HP Ranked #1 Green Company (What!?)

Newsweek’s latest Green Rankings gave Hewlett Packard the top position, establishing the firm as the greenest Fortune 500 company this year—a far cry from Greenpeace’s #14 ranking.
