Toshiba Updates Satellite Notebooks

It’s a busy day for Toshiba as the company enters the personal storage business and rolls out updates to its Satellite line of notebook computers, offering 802.11n Wi-Fi networking and a model with both a 17-inch screen and a starting price under $1,000.

First up, three new models of the Toshiba Satellite A205 notebook offer a 15.4-inch 1,280 by 800 pixel widerscreen display, 802.11n Wi-Fi, an integrated Webcam, and a LabelFlash DVD±R double layer DVD burner which enables users to etch labels onto their DVD media without having to print labels.

Patent Promises Personal TV Censor

A new patent granted to Matthew Jarman of Salt Lake City purports to offer personal TV censorship capabilities, enabling users to block out offensive words or terms used in video programming or, if the particular program proves unmutable, in some cases blocking an entire program based on its content. Even better, these preferences would be configurable on a user-by-user basis, so children wouldn’t have to hear expletives and explicit terms on television, and parents wouldn’t have to hear words like “Barney” or “Britney Spears.”

AOL Targets Preschoolers with KOL Jr.

AOL today launched a new Web site aimed at preschoolers aged 2-5 which is modeled after a similar service for kids aged 7-12. KOL Jr. is designed to encourage parents and young children to surf together by offering original cartoons, games and more.

KOL Jr., said AOL, is an extension of KOL, the first version of an online service designed entirely for kids. Features of this preschooler focused Web site include animal videos, educational games, music from popular characters such as the Wiggles and Barney, kid-friendly movies and DVD clips, the ability to rate toys and the ability to print out favorite characters.
