Nokia planning touch-less, gesture-controlled devices?


digg_url = 'http://digg.com/tech_news/Nokia_planning_touchless_gesture_controls'; Usually when we're talking about Nokia and patents, a mention of Qualcomm can't be far behind. This time however, we're looking at something entirely less boring, fascinating even: ultra-sound sensors that detect hand gestures in the air in front of the device. Now the stretch. Nokia's chief designer, Alastair Curtis, was asked at a recent cocktail party why Nokia's N-series of multimedia devices have yet to see a multi-touch interface, Curtis replied, "We've not launched what we think is right for N-series in a touch product. You'll see in the coming months, years... what we feel is right." Curtis then elaborated, "Much as I'm talking to you now with gestures." Hmm. Ok Alastair, if such devices are in the chute, as long as they don't resemble the Palm V-series... we're cool.

S3's Chrome 500 graphics processors handle Blu-ray, HD video

Movin' on up in the world, are we S3? Just a month after the VIA-owned S3 Graphics returned to the scene with its Chrome 400 line of discrete graphics cards comes this, the predictably named Chrome 500 series. The new line is capable of handling Blu-ray / streaming HD video playback and provides support for DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.0 applications. You'll also find a built-in Dolby 7.1 digital surround sound processor, GPGPU (General Purpose GPU) technology, ChromotionHD (which offloads video processing from the CPU) and compatibility with DisplayPort / HDMI / DVI (with HDCP). The first off the blocks is the 512MB Chrome 530 GT (pictured), and the bargain-bin-styled $44.95 should work wonders given the economy.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Joining the likes of the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns, Portland Trailblazers were another team to be the victim of the Chicago Bulls and are honored through this Air Jordan Six Rings. At first glance, it appears as if this model was designed with the Chicago Bulls in-mind, the typical white, black and red color scheme, but a grey jumpman can be found on the tongue to distinguish it as a Portland Trailblazer sneaker in addition to “92″ being written at the side of the sneaker.
