Sony now including “Green Dam” filtering software on PCs sold in China
Well, there was some evidence earlier this month that some piracy issues in China’s mandated “Green Dam” content-filtering software could cause PC exports to the country to be stalled, but it looks like Sony has now gone ahead and included the software on its PCs regardless, albeit with a few major caveats.

OLED mini projector prototype for mobile phones using a series of lenses developed
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute — partnered with project HYPOLED — have created an OLED mini projector prototype for mobile phones.

Paper desktop speakers rock you like a handcrafted hurricane
Like my grandmother always says, sometimes the best gadgets are the ones you build yourself — with kits imported from Japan, purchased at places like Fred Flare.

Sir James Dyson is on a mission to tick as many boxes as possible with the hetero male demographic. He starts out well, bolting the “world’s fastest motor” to a gun-shaped instrument of cleanliness.

ASUS unleashes USB 2.0 Blu-ray drive — government denies knowledge
ASUS has taken a pretty basic USB Blu-ray drive and given it a fine veneer of high-gloss looks. The SBC-04B1S-U isn’t fancy stuff — 4.8x maximum Blu-ray disc reading, 8x DVD burning, a USB 2.0 connection, and Windows (but not OS X) compatibility. The bright blue ‘X’ on the side also flashes and has a […]
MyDeskFriend robot penguin will link to Facebook, be a true friend
Robots and other devices linked to social networking sites aren’t exactly anything new, but few have been in the form of tiny robot penguins, and even fewer have been tiny robot penguins with hats.
