  1. Asus implied that they’re working with fuel cells for laptops.
  2. Shuttle is working with NVIDIA to make products based on the ION platform
  3. Splashtop and Real Networks were meeting in Real Networks’ secret meeting booth. Just sayin’.
  4. Asus is working on notebooks that are practically popup books. The technology is almost there. The chassis on such units have collapsible elements that make the notebook just a quarter inch tall when closed. The big holdup is OLEDs.
  5. Shuttle is working on a water cooling unit for their SFF PCs that will work with CrossFire, SLI and a quad core. This also implies that we’ll see CF/SLI and Yorkfield-containing SFF PCs.
  6. RAZER’s 7.1 headphones use Israeli Military technology to do audio positioning. This same tech is used by Israeli fighter pilots to assist in tracking inbound missiles. Seriously, people live and die by the accuracy of this audio positioning, so they sound fantastic.
  7. RIM gently implied that they’ve been talking to Adobe about Flash Lite. Shhh.

More rumors when we remember them.

    Nice rumours. Wish Apple would gently imply that they've been talking to Adobe. But I think I'll see flying pigs first.

    I think it's more likely that they're trying to convince Adobe to charge $5.99 for Flash so Apple can make a killing.

    Those "sound" like great headphones. I mean I would love to "hear" more about them. That is to say that my ears long for listen to more information about them.

    Instead I shall have to read more into it.

    You so punny.
    I'd love to look into these headphones as well. I'm always looking for better headphones, especially with better surround sound.

    When Buddy J gets back, he's got the scoop on some other amazing headphones as well. Stay tuned.
