VoodooPC Launches the IDOL Mini PC

Add as a preferred source on Google

VoodooPC has launched their own version of the mini PC. While its form factor looks similar to the Apple Mac mini, it is unmistakably a VoodooPC with its blood red paid and Voodoo graphics. Priced from $899, the VoodooPC IDOL features an Intel Pentium M notebook processor (to keep the system silent), a 7200 RPM Hitachi Hard drive, an Ethernet connection (what computer doesn’t have one?), DVI connection and a slot-loading DVD player.

VoodooPC says that consumers can decide on which operating system they want, although the IDOL was not listed on the company’s website at the time of this release, so we are unsure of whether you can get the IDOL with MCE 2005 installed, but we suspect you can. The company is branding the IDOL as being ideal as a second PC rather than a primary system.

Three touchpad tricks that make long documents feel a lot shorter.
Windows new scrolling feature

Today I learned about a touchpad tip that I think every Windows laptop user should know. Microsoft shared it as its Friday Windows tip of the day, and it’s all about scrolling.

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. Think of it as turning a pocket-sized phone into a miniature MacBook, minus the actual MacBook.
