If we talk about gaming accessories, especially those designed to help you stay focused during long hours of gaming, we have to mention that one of the most important aspects is the headphones model we choose, which has to be ergonomic and keep the sounds only for us, without bothering the others around. The only problem is that listening to sounds for an hour a day consists one of the main hearing loss reasons, even if we use the best headphones on the market. That’s why Able Planet created a new type of headphones that minimize this problem without to sacrifice performance and overall quality.
PS500MM is a high-fidelity multimedia headset for computer gamers who need easy access to sounds controls, built-in microphone for in-game chat, cool look and an affordable price.

The headphones use the Linx Audio technology that keeps the same sounds details at lower volume levels, eliminating the one of the main hearing loss reasons, which is listening to audio via headphones, according to statistics and researches.
In addition, the new model features noise cancellation in the microphone and is lightweight, at just 2.64 oz, while measuring 5.62 x 5.43 x 1.96 inches.

You can connect the Able Planet PS500MM headset either wirelessly using the USB adapter, or wired with the included 3.5-mm jack. It is available at a price of $99 with extended wear leather ear cups and a soft carrying pouch.

This month, Able Planet is releasing also the 2.5-mm version, called TL300, for Xbox fans.
We’ll have to wait a little longer for the full specs list and pictures with the original model.

"We designed this innovative new headset specifically with PC gamers in mind,” said Able Planet’s chairman and CEO Kevin Semcken. "Gamers tend to spend significant periods of time playing online games and such extended play of rich multimedia sounds puts a cumulative strain on the ears this can cause hearing loss and fatigue. Our technology minimizes this risk so that users no longer have to turn up the volume just to be able to drown out background noise."

Motorola announced yesterday the latest additions to its digital cordless home phones, the D10 and D11. Optimized to use as little energy as possible and made with at least 20 percent of recycled materials, so that the carbon footprint in the home is reduced, these handsets were designed to be the perfect fit for the sophisticated and environmentally conscious home owners.

Created by the award winning design team at Motorola, these two wireless home phones offer intuitive design in a sleek sculptural form and are both easy and comfortable to use. Not to mention the fact that this new range of phones is a perfect match of design and ground-breaking functionality.



The D10 and D11’s development process is based on the attempt of taking care of the environment. Therefore, they are able to adjust the output depending on how far they are from the base unit. On the other hand, users can activate the “eco mode”, which uses less battery power and increases talk-time.



But let’s talk about the design of these two cool home phones. There’s a subtle contrast of textures and materials that creates a visually integrated look that is perfect for any contemporary home. The D10 and D11 are two slim handsets, ultra-thin, as a matter of fact, and they have large “easy-to-read” backlit displays. Both models feature polyphonic ringtones, handsfree speakerphones and 100-entry phonebooks. In addition, the D11 offers SMS messaging, 3-way conference calling and a subtle laser-etched backlit keypad. The phones are available with a digital answering machine that comes with both visual and audible message alerts as well as remote access to messages.

The D10 is equipped with a large amber-backlit “easy-to-read” display, while the D11 boasts an illuminated 4 centimeters full-color screen for added style and ease of navigation. Whenever you miss a call, a message or any other event, a unique “glow-ring” pulsates, letting you know there’s something waiting for you.

Phones in both series are available as standard or TAM (telephone answering machine) versions. The standard phones provide the core telephone features that discerning consumers will require and some additional new features that users will really appreciate, such as a room monitor that can be used to listen in on a baby, small child or a person in care. As far as the TAM phones are concerned, they offer all of these features, but, in addition, there is an advanced answer phone functionality, including pre-recorded announcements, remote access to messages and the ability to screen calls before choosing to answer.

The new D10 and D11 wireless home phones are currently available, but there’s no information on pricing yet.

IBM is the one who published an interesting article from the third annual IBM Next Five in Five, revealing the future of technology – predictions, which gives us an answer to the question “Why is technology important?” but also tells us how will the latest gadgets in technology evolve in the near future.
The answer to “Why is technology important today?” is simple: -Because it makes our lives easier and more pleasant. And it doesn’t require spending lots of money on luxury products, but just to change our focus on what really counts and what really helps improving each of our life’s aspects, depending on our needs.

IBM first mentions the green technology aspects, which should be the most important criteria when looking for new gadgets. The company says that in the near future the solar panels will be built into asphalt, paint and even windows. What does this mean exactly? –Well, it refers at the fact that by enabling solar energy in sidewalks, driveways, siding, paint, rooftops and windows with the use of thin-film solar cells will save an enormous amount of energy costs. This will happen in the next five years or so and will become very affordable as the manufacturing process will involve this new type of solar cell that can be designed 100 times thinner than silicon-wafer cells, at lower costs. The new solar cells will be so thin that companies will be able to print them on cell phones, notebooks, cars and clothes.

The second innovation will be introduced in the healthcare sector and the main beneficiaries will be the patients. According to IBM, who got involved in these technology advancements, we will watch the crystal balls, used before by sorcerers, and find out which the right foods for our genetic map are. Each individual has his own genetic map and soon doctors will provide us with it so we can change our lifestyle into a healthier one.
Maybe you are that type allowed to eat potato chips and lots of sweets, but you don’t know that. Well, in the next years your family doctor will tell you exactly what you can eat without damaging your health, and it won’t cost you more than $200.

Speech recognition is becoming popular and you can enable it on your laptop and cell phone as well. In the next years you will be able to talk to the Internet and it will answer. The navigation will be done handsfree and you won’t need the keyboard and mouse anymore.

Also, IBM sais we will have our own digital shopping assistant. Shops will be equipped with touchscreens, voice-activated kiosks that will tell you what clothes fit your style best and what accessories could complement your already chosen items. More than that, the same devices will display shop’s ratings and customers’ reviews. In addition you will receive discount coupons.

The fifth innovation mentioned by IBM is more complex and involves a large network of devices, each with different function, which will work to help us remind of appointments, things we need to buy from the market in the week-end, or at what hour we have to attend a conference.
This network includes video cameras and microphones, all interconnected and programmed to record our conversations and activities. The central computer will store all the data and alert us on these appointments.

The number of possibilities enabled by the existent technology advancements is endless and we could say that nothing is impossible if we trust it.
