 World’s slimmest active MacBook cooler

 Filed under: Notebook — May 12th, 2008

Moshi is announcing its release of the Zefyr 13”, world’s slimmest active MacBook cooler. It is extremely compact and yet efficient in keeping the MacBook cool under demanding conditions.

At the core of Zefyr’s design is a high-thermal conduction interface compound, which enhances heat dissipation by providing a direct heat conduction path between MacBook’s bottom casing and Zefyr’s cast aluminum heat sink assembly. The thermal interface compound is soft and compressive to ensure complete contact with the MacBook while preventing abrasive scratches. Heat accumulated in the heat sink is then expelled through the sides by a high-efficiency USB-powered fan that runs near silent.

 7G Professional Gaming Keyboard: 18-karat gold-plated mechanical switches

 Filed under: Hardware — May 6th, 2008

SteelSeries 7G, designed with 18-karat gold-plated mechanical switches, sets new industry standards for advanced key combinations and Actions-Per-Minute (APM). This translates into quicker reaction times and stronger results.

The SteelSeries 7G keyboard sets a new industry standard for gaming keyboards by allowing users to perform at new levels with advanced key combinations. Utilizing a powerful PS/2 buffer-system created specifically for gaming, the SteelSeries 7G keyboard eliminates “anti-ghosting” by supporting as many simultaneous key press commands as there are keys on the keyboard. What this does, for example, is allow users in a first person shooter game to walk, crouch, aim, fire and check the scoreboard simultaneously. Traditional keyboards do not allow this much functionality all at once.

The patented Periscope Book Light in a Bookcover eliminates all cords, clips and clutter and let you read what you want where you want in all types of low-light reading environments — all while protecting the reader’s privacy. These Periscope products feature a LED book light, a bookcover, and a bookmark in a single lightweight unit. Unlike other reading lights, the Periscope book light is always with the book you are reading.

Readers never have to search for or carry a separate light for the hardcover or paperback book they’re reading. Simply slip the book into the Periscope bookcover (there are separate covers for hardcover and mass market paperback books), pull up the retractable light that’s stored in the spine of the book cover and start reading in the dark! The Periscope adjustable twin, wide-angle LED light automatically turns on when the arm is extended and shuts off when collapsed into the cover. What’s more, because the light is totally adjustable, readers can put the reading light precisely where they want it for maximum reading comfort. And, because Periscope is battery powered by three AA batteries that deliver over 40 hours of continuous light, there are no cords or plugs to worry about.
