HardwareGeeks.com along with Ask The Admin, Absolute Windows and HP are giving away 3 (1 on each site) dx9000 TouchSmart PCs.
All you have to do is create an application that will work on the dx9000 or other TouchSmart PC’s from HP. The application can be of anything, I personally would like to see an app designed for hospitals where you can pull up a patients chart and view their files and even x-rays and are able to zoom in and out using your fingers. But your application does not have to do that, it can do anything.
It can be like the Time 100 Application for the TouchSmart, or something similar to what is set up at O’Hare airport in Chicago. Just create something useful and fun and have fun doing it.
So, I’ve been screwing around with the data view webpart a bit more and figured this bit of code I came up with would come in handy for others. What it does is compare two fields and if they match doesn’t show one of the fields. If they do match it shows the full date span of the two fields.
It seems everything has a touch screen now a days, from your phone to your desktop to PC, not even peripherals for your desktop has a Touch Screen. The New NZXT Sentry 2 Fan Controller has a touch screen so you can control up to 5 Fans.
The Sentry 2 fits into a 5.25” drive bay and is compatible with any fan that uses voltage control. The touch screen will display the fan speeds along with the temperature around the fan.
“Sentry 2 enables Enthusiasts and Gamers to maximize performance gains from effective air cooling” said Johnny Hou, Chief Designer at NZXT. “Its unique touch screen and intuitive controls provide an ergonomic, best-in-class user experience.”
HP today announced that their xw9400 workstation is now available with dual Opteron 2400 Series Processors giving it up to 12 cores.
The HP xw9400 is also the first professional workstation according to HP that will provide you with up to 12 cores, and with that many cores the system is perfect for digital content creation and other processor hungry task.
“HP understands the immense pressure its customers are under to deliver more return on investment in a shorter period of time,” said Jeff Wood, director, Worldwide Marketing, Workstations, HP. “By providing the most extreme combination of technologies – up to 12 cores in one workstation – HP continues its commitment to bringing customers leading-edge technologies.”
Earlier this week Verizon announced they would have the Blackberry Tour Starting the 12th of July, just now Sprint pushed out a release saying they also will make the Tour Available on the 12th of July online and via their direct business sales team.
The Blackberry Tour which I recently had the chance to play with is much faster than my Blackberry Curve and navigating is also much easier. It pretty much has the same user interface as the curve and other Blackberry devices but navigating with the trackball is a lot smoother than on previous Blackberry devices I have used.

On Tuesday I attended a press event and FujiFilm was in attendence, and for the first time I got to see their new Instax 200 camera, which by the way I found out I won today in a contest they were having. For those of you who miss good ol poloroid, check out this little or shall I say big beauty.
Last week we received the 2TB model of the MyBook World Edition II which has two 1TB Green edition hard drives in it formatted in mirrored (redundant) RAID1. The advantage of RAID1 over using both drives as a single volume (RAID0/JBOD), is that if and when a hard drive does fail you still have a complete copy of your data and can ensure your data is safe and secure. The World Edition II makes disaster recovery for small business and home offices simple and cheap. In the event that disaster does befall, the World Edition II has a very simple method for swapping out the dead drive for the new drive and then will automatically rebuild the live drive onto the backup drive making a complete disaster recovery solution.
Today HP announced the new HP Mini 5101 a netbook so sexy and stylish, once you see it you will want one. HP gave the Mini 5101 a look and feel similar to their ProBook line, and because of that the Mini 5101 looks bigger than what it actually is. HP also introduced the new ProBook 4310s and at 13.3 inches the smallest ProBook available from HP.
HP is combining style, durability and power to deliver what I think its the perfect line of notebooks for any type of business user.
So my Blackberry Curve 8350i for the second time in the 5 months I have had it is not getting service, the first time they swapped my phone and told me if it happens again to call Tech Support that they may have a fix for the issue in the future since it was an unknown issue then.
I call Tech Support and was told they will call me back in an hour, after 8 hours I call back and get transfered to a porn ad several times. I have multiple videos to post if you guys don’t believe me but I just posted one.
