New Creative Web Cam is Wide Angle Ready

USB 2.0 support means the Webcams can deliver crisp, high-resolution video at up to twice the frame rate of USB 1.1 cameras, while their lenses’ 76-degree field of view is almost half again as wide as most rivals’ 52-degree vision. The high-gloss titanium-finish cameras also combine a precision focus ring with CCD image sensor for more vibrant video and crisper images than other Webcams’ CMOS sensors, even in low-light conditions.

The Live Ultra can be placed on any flat surface or easily affixed to a flat-panel monitor, while the Live Ultra for Notebooks features a PowerGrip attachment instead of a simple hook for secure placement on a laptop display. Both work seamlessly with AIM, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, and Windows Messenger, with Smart Face Tracking to recognize and track the motion of one or more users during videoconferences or IM sessions.

If you read long documents, browse webpages, or write code on a Windows laptop, you know the drill. You swipe, lift your fingers, and swipe again until you reach the part you need. Microsoft has three touchpad features that cut down on all that swiping.

This app turns the iPhone Duo into a pocket-sized Mac
Headroom uses macOS's built-in Screen Sharing to let users control their Mac from the foldable iPhone, without installing additional software on the computer.
Headroom App on Apple iPhone Duo controlling a Mac

The iPhone Duo has barely been out for a day, and someone's already found a way to run their Mac on it. Well, sort of. Headroom, a remote desktop app from MusicFlow, lets users control their Mac from Apple's new foldable phone, with an interface that adapts as the device opens, closes, and folds in half.
