HP TouchSmart tm2 gains Core i5 CPU option, a whole new level of respect

Category: Industry Happeningsadmin @ 2:18 pm

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together? Or when a rumor plays out perfectly? We’re looking at a case of the latter here today, as HP’s oh-so-lovable 12-inch TouchSmart tm2 is now available to order with a Core i5 processor. Just months after gaining Core i3 support, the convertible tablet can now be ordered with a 1.2GHz Core i5-430UM (capable of hitting 1.73GHz with Turbo Boost). Said CPU can be paired with integrated Intel graphics or with a discrete ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5450, and 4GB of DDR3 RAM is standard on either configuration. Hit the links below to investigate further, but be sure to keep your plastic far, far away unless you’re kosher with impulse buys of a rather significant caliber.

Sony thinks E Color is the new black, gives you a whole site’s worth to choose from

Category: Industry Happeningsadmin @ 7:17 am

If your gear isn’t pushing the performance envelope, you typically have to resort to alternative means for attracting those precious customers. Sony’s newish VAIO E series is an exponent of just such a philosophy, with its lurid colorings and replaceable keyboard skins. The company’s decided to take things up a notch, however, by now offering a Color Combo site where we can combine the gnarliest hue mismatches this side of Colorware. The chromatic choices include the laptop’s case and keyboard as well as the additions of a wireless mouse and a reversible sleeve. Everything that isn’t bolted down to the computer will of course cost you extra, but will you really let a little bit of cash stand between you and that magenta dream machine?

Dell responds to latest capacitor-related fallout, ignores the whole lying to consumers part

Category: Industry Happeningsadmin @ 9:18 am

Dell responds to latest capacitor-related fallout, ignores the whole lying to consumers partThe “capacitor plague” issue of the early 2000’s has started to resurface, not thanks to another batch of bogus orange-hued electrolytes popping free, but this time thanks to the release of documents relating to a three year-old Dell lawsuit. As we reported earlier this week, those docs show that Dell asked customer service reps to deny there was any problem with their motherboards, telling them to pretend they’d never heard about the issue and to “emphasize uncertainty.” Now, Dell is responding to the latest flare up — sort of.

A post on the Direct2Dell blog reiterates that this was an industry-wide issue, which it was, but more or less ignores the crux of this latest report: those internal memos telling CSRs to play stupid while corporate IT departments panicked as OptiPlex desktops died left and right. (Boxes manufactured during those troublesome years would ultimately achieve an amazing 97 percent failure rate.) Dell also points out that AIT, the company that raised this particular lawsuit, was improperly using its OptiPlex machines as servers and not as mere desktops. That sounds an awful lot like sour grapes to us — or should we say sour electrolytes?

HP: ‘We’re doubling down on webOS,’ Palm: ‘That was the whole point’

Category: Industry Happeningsadmin @ 5:18 pm


We just spoke with both Brian Humphries, HP’s Senior VP of Strategy and Corporate Development, and Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein, and came away with a pretty positive picture for the future of Palm. The money quote is that HP plans to be “doubling down on webOS,” and that was confirmed in speaking with Palm’s honcho, who says that “that was the whole point.” Not only that, but we’ve confirmed on both ends that Jon will be staying on with the company, along with much of the existing Palm hierarchy. There are plenty of transition details to work out, but Jon says there will be lots of time for all that during regulatory and shareholder approval. The word is that Palm’s existing hardware roadmap is basically untouched at this point by this acquisition, but the good news on the HP end of things is that the company sees webOS as a “prized asset,” and they intend to “scale it across multiple connected devices.” That sounds like tablets to us, and HP didn’t beat back that assumption. On the Palm hardware end, Jon is very fond of saying “scale,” referring to the money and manufacturing resources at HP’s disposal, but he also says that he sees Palm working hand in hand with HP on devices. One point that both companies were less clear on was the Palm branding itself — you know, whether Palm will stay Palm. Both Brian and Jon said those kinds of details would be worked out as the acquisition went forward, but offered no concrete comment on it otherwise.

Money-wise we asked if Jon thought HP could provide the sort of “ammunition” to beat Apple, Google, and Microsoft at their own mobile game, and Jon says “I don’t think HP would do this unless they were willing to make the kind of investment necessary to win.” HP calls webOS a “compelling operating system,” but that Palm didn’t have the money to compete and “scale it across multiple form factors,” and that it’s exactly HP’s financial wherewithal, brand, and corporate culture that it brings to the table. HP and Palm won’t comment specifically on the forthcoming device roadmap, but HP did confirm that it had tested the platform “to make sure it scales.” They keep saying “scale,” but all we’re hearing is “tablet.”

Read more on this in our ongoing liveblog right now!

Vibrators; A Whole World of Pleasure

Category: Silicon Casesadmin @ 8:57 pm


Almost half of women aged 18 to 60 use sex toys or have tried them in the past, according to a 2004 study of over 2,000 women by the famed Berman Center, directed by “Oprah” sex therapist Dr. Laura Berman. Vibrators and sex toys in general are becoming more socially acceptable, in fact Trojan just launched a women’s line of condoms, Elexa, which also features a vibrating latex ring sex toy. Vibrators open a whole new world of pleasure, and sexual well being for you and your sex life. Vibrators are prefect for delivering intense stimulation and pleasure to the clitoris and vulva, with orgasm inducing power like none other.
Vibrators come in a variety of designs, ready to deliver extraordinary pleasure. Most models offer several speeds, with some models having variable controls where you can set the vibration frequency to exactly how you like it. The latest technology offers up custom pulsation patterns and intensity control. Keep in mind that the type of vibration or movement tends to create greater pleasure than the general size of shape of the sex toy. Keep an open mind and find a model that satisfies you. Considers what you really want it for: portability, bathtub or hut tub action, realism, or simultaneous vaginal/clitoral or vaginal/ anal stimulation.
Rabbit Vibrators / Multi Action Vibrators
Multi action vibrators, sometimes also called jack rabbit adult toys, are simply the best things since sliced bread. How else are you going to explain a product that helps so many women reach orgasm with such ease? Ask around, many women swear by their dual action vibrator. The Jack Rabbit Vibrator is the sex toy of the 21st century and it’s easy to see why it has had such a powerful impact on women all over the world.
The sex toy engineers really got it right this time: many women desire simultaneous clitoral stimulation and vaginal penetration and these innovative, multi action, multi orgasm vibrators, have the ability to stimulate a woman like nothing else on the market. These stimulate the vagina like a traditional vibrator, while stimulating the clitoris and the opening of the vagina at the same time. Some models also have an additional tickler for anal stimulation while many models also have a chamber filled with rotating pearl beads around the shaft, for added vaginal and G-spot, stimulation.
A great example of a multi action vibrator is the adult Jack Rabbit toy. This is the most recognizable combination vibrator on the market because of it’s popularity and because it was featured on HBO’s “Sex and the City”, pleasing the usually timid Charlotte.
It consists of a small “rabbit” perched on top of a pink jelly vibrator shaft. The rabbit is designed to directly stimulate the clitoris and is controlled by a remote battery pack. The shaft is capable of twisting back and forth and of “rotating” the pearls around in a circular motion, which stimulates the labia, the opening to the vagina as well as the infamous G-spot. The speed of vibration is adjustable, and often there are separate controls for the tickler, shaft, and pearl bead rotation.
Many women find the combined features of these vibrators to be the perfect recipe for orgasm. They require less work than other sex toys and the stimulation levels of the clitoral stimulator and the shaft can be adjusted independently to fit your mood.
Combination vibrators are usually high quality toys and they come in many shapes and sizes. They’re easy to use and work well for both experienced and novice vibrator users. However we warn you, these could easily give you the most intense orgasms of your life. Sensual seductions have great prices on jack rabbit vibrators and multi action sex toys.
Traditional Vibrators
Traditional vibrators are the most common adult sex toys and devices. The most versatile of toys, traditional vibrators are phallic-shaped and penetrative, though they can be used for internal and external stimulation. When people think of vibrators, this is usually the style that comes to mind.
Traditional Vibrators are slim, straight, between four and eight inches in length, and are usually made of plastic. They are available in many different finishes, including bright colors and metallic. Most traditional vibrators are adjustable, allowing the user full control over the vibration level. The hard plastic outer casing helps maintain the strength of the vibrations by transferring them directly from the motor, making these a good choice for people who want the feel of stronger vibrations but who don’t want to purchase an electric vibrator.
G-spot Vibrators
The G-spot! It’s really there! The location of the G Spot is about two inches inside the upper wall of the vagina, and waiting to send you the most amazing orgasm you have ever experienced. If you haven’t yet found it yourself, these vibrators will take you there.
G Spot vibrators are usually shaped like a traditional vibrator, with the exception that they have a special bend in the shaft that will increase stimulation of the G-Spot. They are typically between four and eight inches in length and have a base-mounted controller for easy vibration control. If you want to try a G-Spot vibrator, be sure to look for one made of plastic or a firm jelly material so it doesn’t bend when it’s inserted. The best G-Spot orgasms come when you apply firm pressure, so you want to be sure the vibrator is up to the challenge.
Clitoral Vibrators
There is no question, and it seems to be just another fact of life, that many women need direct clitoral stimulation to achieve orgasm. The orgasms a woman achieves from stimulating the clitoris are intense and satisfying, as all orgasms should be. Naturally, as everyone in their right mind loves to orgasm, women have demanded a vibrator that speaks to their personal needs and offers direct and intense clitoral stimulation. A vibrator which leaves them feeling incredibly satisfied. Basically a woman’s best friend!
Clitoral vibrators are designed with a woman’s clitoris in mind. These vibrators offer powerful and direct clitoral stimulation ensuring intense and satisfying sensations. Some clitoral vibrators are small and non insertable, designed to stimulate only the clitoris. Some clitoral vibrators offer clitoral stimulation via a small attachment on the shaft of a multi-action vibrator, that reaches the clitoris when the shaft is inserted into the vagina for multiple and intense stimulation. Each type has certain pleasures unique unto itself and can ultimately offer up some incredible orgasms. All in all, clitoral vibrators offer powerful clitoral stimulation that is just not possible during manual stimulation.
Discreet Vibrators
While Pocket Rockets are designed for portability, there are quieter, more discreet options when choosing a small vibrator. The best thing about some of these sex toys is that they look so much like everyday objects that you can take them out in public with no worries at all. These look-a-like lipsticks, pens, cell phones and compacts, are very powerful and stimulating, yet they are impressively quiet vibrators. Perfect for keeping that little secret all to yourself while in the airport or on the road, or for that quickie wherever, and whenever you desire.
Realistic Vibrators
Just as you would expect from a realistic vibrator, these vibrators are designed with the anatomical features of a real penis. These come in all shapes and sizes just like real men, and their skin-like, textured surfaces, and very realistic appearance, are the closest vibrating object to the real thing that you’re going to find.
There are many different lifelike materials used to make realistic vibrators, and it really depends on what sex toy company makes the vibrator. For more on this please see our materials guide. Whether the look of a realistic vibrator gets your juices flowing, or you find pleasure in the feeling of lifelike materials, a realistic vibrator can satisfy your needs and leave you wondering what you need the real thing for anymore.
Waterproof Vibrators
Waterproof vibrators are pretty easy to explain. They are waterproof. These vibrators are designed to be used in the tub or shower, in the hot tub, pool, or really anywhere you can manage to get yourself all wet. The delicate internal electronic parts are sealed in to prevent moisture from entering, and the battery compartment is water tight to ensure your safety and satisfaction. It can be incredibly erotic and relaxing to have an orgasm in a candle-lit bubble bath or even a hot tub.
When choosing a vibrator for water play, it’s important to keep in mind that chlorine and chemicals in pools and hot tubs, as well as saltwater, can damage toys made of jelly rubber or other lifelike materials. Lubricants are more necessary than ever in water, which washes away natural juices, but don’t use a water-based lubricants, which will just dissolve. And remember to dry off your toy after the fun!
Jelly Vibrators
If you prefer soft materials over hard, you might prefer jelly rubber. Jelly vibrators are pretty close to silicone when it comes to look and texture but are not quite as smooth and lifelike.
Jelly dildos can be a little bit stiffer than silicone dildos but its simply a matter of preference. Jelly is also a great material for people who want the realistic feel of a silicone dildo but don’t want to pay the higher price that comes with silicone products. Jelly rubber is a porous material that can be composed of different ingredients including latex and phthalate.
Jelly toys have a shorter lifespan, and it’s recommended you use a condom on them because of their ingredients. The best way to clean jelly dildos is with warm water. Never use rubbing alcohol to clean jelly, and always use water based lubrication – jelly will degrade if it is exposed to a non-water based lubricant or rubbing alcohol. If you decide on a jelly dildo, it might be a good idea to pick up some cleaner specifically designed for sex toys, which we carry in our lubes section. A good sex toy cleaner will kill any bacteria and leave a clean, fresh scent.
