According to Wikipedia “Kinect is a motion sensing input device by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game console. Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, it enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller, through a natural user interface using gestures and spoken commands.”

Kinect was made to compete with the Wii Remote Plus and PlayStation Move with PlayStation Eye motion controllers. The Kinect sensoris a horizontal bar connected to a small base with a motorized pivot and is designed to be positioned lengthwise above or below the video display. The device features an “RGB camera, depth sensor and multi-array microphone running proprietary software”,which provide full-body 3D motion capture, facial recognition and voice recognition capabilities.

There are a lot of possibilities of Kinect technology for software developers. Imagine swiping your finger in the air to switch between windows or applications. You may control your song playlist or media player without having to be right at the keyboard. These laptops would also offer additional control for disabled users.

Microsoft may release Kinect for Windows on Feb 1, 2012. Microsoft’s plan to get the Kinect out of the living room and into other devices seems to be picking up momentum every day. The tech giant will probably not be making in-house devices but give Kinect license to hardware manufacturers. Kinect for laptops is under development, get ready for potential new ways to interact with your laptop.

What you’ll need:

• A network you’ve lost the security key for
• A computer connected to said network OR
• The network information stored on your computer

If you have access to above listed things then follow these steps:

Step 1: Download WirelessKeyView (or the 64-bit version of WirelessKeyView) to a computer that can connect to the wireless network.

Step 2: Extract the zip to a location of your choosing and then run the downloaded program.

Step 3: Take note of the security information for the networks you’re interested in. Whether you want the hex value or the ASCII value is determined by what key type was used for the network encryption.

It’s also great for adding new devices to a WiFi connection when the network admin is off at school, work, or got lost time traveling. If all else fails, the option always exists to fully reset the router, but this method is far less intrusive.

which were both initially released with major features missing. Now the device has become the hottest consumer electronics product

almost overnight, and all it took was a combination of HP shutting down production of the TouchPad.

At the moment,Amazon.com is showing that the 16 GB and 32 GB versions of the HP TouchPad are the retailers number one and number two best selling electronics products.There’s room for improvement—a wider app selection and a rear-facing camera would’ve been nice—but the TouchPad offers a more enjoyable user experience than any of the current wave of Android Honeycomb tablets. It’s no iPad, but it’s the best non-Apple tablet we’ve seen yet.

HP also made the decision to give people who bought the TouchPad before Thursday a way to either get the price difference paid back or even get a full refund. Engadget is also reporting that UK residents will also get access to the same fire sale prices for the TouchPad. The tablets were the top-selling electronic item on the online retail giant Amazon and in the largest US electronic retailer Best Buy as the selling price was slashed from 399 dollars to 99 dollars.

the TouchPad is the first tablet we’ve tested built around the Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core APQ8060 1.2GHz processor. All Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) tablets thus far have used Nvidia’s dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2. At 1.2GHz, the Qualcomm processor is more powerful in theory.

The tablet computers are powered by HP’s webOS operating system, which has been overshadowed by Apple’s iOS–powered iPads and numerous other tablet computers running Google’s Android operating system.

“Due to the significant price reduction, we experienced overwhelming demand for the product and are temporarily out of inventory,” a notice on HP’s online shopping site said.

Snooze is an alarm clock app for your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad that pledges $0.25 of your own money to charity every time you hit the snooze button. Users set a desired charity and the app will calculate how many times you hit snooze. There will be two opportunities every month to donate.
The app was built by LetGive, a company that combines mobile technology with charitable giving.
While the app is unlikely to raise huge sums of money, it’s a harmless way of doing good and (hopefully) hauling your body to work on time. At the very least, you can tell your boss you were late to work because you were too busy sleeping your way to a better tomorrow.

1. Asus Lamborghini VX7 Gaming Laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium

It’s been an extremely sad week for Mozilla’s Thunderbird email client. We’ve seen the only two full-time developers announce that they will be leaving the organization at the end of this week. News of

this started when Scott MacGregor, the lead Thunderbird engineer, said that October 12th will be his last day as an employee. David Bienvenu then followed up Scott’s announcement with his own.

This comes just a short while after Mozilla announced the creation of MailCo, a subsidiary created for Thunderbird with $3 million in seed funding. People had a lot of fears that the result would be disastrous, but Mozilla put up a FAQ’s site regarding the new subsidiary to help calm everyone down. They wanted to reassure us that everything was going to be alright, and ironically this was included in the FAQ’s:

How will the current Thunderbird developers be involved?

We expect the current developers (Scott MacGregor and David Bienvenu) to continue to be the module owners for Thunderbird and Mozilla mail codebases.

Do we have reason to be worried now? We don’t actually know the reason that Scott and David are leaving Mozilla so it’s possible that it has nothing to do with the subsidiary being established. David Ascher, the leader of the new MailCo,   said:

Both Scott McGregor and David Bienvenu have posted that they are leaving MozillaCorp.  My understanding from chats with them weeks ago (I hope I’m not divulging anything that I shouldn’t) is that they have decided to start a new venture.  They’ve worked on Thunderbird and its predecessors within Mozilla and Nestcape for a long time, and I can certainly understand their desire to do something different.
…
The bulk of the MailCo budget is expected to be spent on staff (as with all small software companies, and especially small open source software companies!), with most of that going to Thunderbird-focused staff for a while, I expect.  We’re recruiting experienced developers now to focus specifically on Thunderbird and more broadly on improving mail and communications in general.

The future of Thunderbird doesn’t seem all that bright anymore, but it is a little reassuring that the bulk of the MailCo budget will be spent on staff. They have $3 million to work with as of right now, which seems like a lot, but Thunderbird doesn’t really have its own revenue stream so that money will be gone in the blink of an eye. It might be a little early to make any judgements, but I don’t have a good feeling as to where this is headed. I really feel bad forEudora who had just decided to make their popular mail app use Thunderbird as its base.
