Logitech Introduces New Notebook Web Cams

By DT Staff Published October 25, 2009

Logitech, seeing perhaps a need for new notebook Web cams for an expanding notebook PC market, announced today two new Web cams for its portfolio of notebook peripherals. The Logitech QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks ($60) and the Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks ($40) are both expected next month.

Logitech stated their two new QuickCam models are both designed to work easily with popular video messaging applications such as Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger and AIM. Features in common on these two Web cams include better noise supression technology, crisper picture quality in dim lighting, support for Windows Vista and included software which lets someone outline any visible object in the image and place one of many fun borders around it.

The QuickCam Deluxe, being the higher end model, combines a glass lens with a 1.3 megapixel sensor, which Logitech feels provides better image clarity and color sharpness.

Microsoft has begun rolling out Copilot Code for building apps with natural language

The workplace-focused vibe coding tool can pull context from emails, documents, meetings, and chats.

Microsoft introduced Code last month as one of the three core parts of its revamped Copilot app. The app was pitched as an easy-to-use coding agent that lets users describe what they want to build in natural language, like an app, a tracker, a dashboard, an automation, or a workflow, and Copilot would build it for them.

Essentially, it's a workplace-focused vibe-coding app that turns existing work into a functional app, and Microsoft has begun rolling it out through the Frontier program.

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks

US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves

Banking

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.

Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.
