In a move that threatens to turn the age of the ubiquitous cell phone camera in to the age of ubiquitous live cell phone video, Qik Inc. has launched an alpha version of its eponymous service Qik, which enables selected Nokia and Sony Ericsson J2ME handsets to stream live video to the Internet with just two clicks. And, what’s more, folks watching the live video stream from the Web can chat with the video-transmitting phone in real time.
Asus Computer announced several new products at CES 2006 geared towards both computer and consumer electronics users. Among these new products are several laptop computers, a digital media hub, a networked DVD player and some monitors.
Asus Computer’s new 2006 laptops include the W2J, A7J, W5F, A6J and V6J. All are based upon Intel’s next generation dual core mobile platform. The most interesting of these is the W5F. Features of this compact model include a built-in 1.3 megapixel 180 degree swivel webcam, microphone, white carbon fiber casing, 12.1†WXGA LCD and up to 1536MB of DD2 memory at 533/667MHz.
Hotels across the country — from Los Angeles’ Four Seasons to Caesars Pocono Resorts in Pennsylvania, where couples will be able to gawk at a 35-inch flat-panel TV while cavorting in a bathtub shaped like a champagne glass — are adding them.
Demand by hotels for the big TVs is heating up, says K.C. Kavanagh, spokeswoman for Starwood Hotels, owner of the Westin, Sheraton, W and St. Regis brands. ”Where once it was a novelty, now it’s becoming more of a priority.”
Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.
This version of Stinger includes detection for all known variants, as of January

According to B&W the FPM family is widely considered to be one of the few high-end solutions available where ultra-low-profile speakers are required, such as to complement flat-panel plasma TVsand monitors. Now, the B&W Series grows with the FPM 2, a compact yet high performance two-way model.
Of course, the FPM Series is not exclusively for plasma-based systems. The FPM 2 is a good choice in multiroom systems where architectural in-wall speakers are not practical or desirable. And ofcourse, the FPM 2 is a surround-channel speaker for plasma or other flat-panel or projection systems, or wherever a sonically excellent, compact, unobtrusive speaker is needed.
The deal is reportedly delayed over a decision as to where the R&D and executives would be located (Canada, U.K. or the U.S.). The deal would give B&W a more lofty brand of electronics to market above Rotel which will better suit the higher end speakers in B&W’s current line up. B&W now distributes Classe into most worldwide markets.
