Logitech_Speaker_Lapdesk_N700_hiIf you’ve been wishing a high-quality sound system would just fall in your lap, your wish may be coming true very soon. Logitech introduced its Speaker Lapdesk N700, the company’s first all-in-one laptop accessory with integrated stereo speakers, a built-in fan and a wide padded base. The Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700 is specifically designed for notebook computers and features two built-in high-definition speakers with 2-inch high-performance neodymium drivers for a rich sound quality– so you can watch movies or listen to music with a home theater style sound.

Logitech also incorporated a fan and protective grill into the device to prevent your laptop from overheating. “More and more people around the world are enjoying fantastic entertainment on their laptops — but with mediocre sound and comfort,” said Denis Pavillard, Logitech vice president of product marketing for laptop accessories. “In fact, according to our research nearly 50 percent of laptop users report being dissatisfied with the sound quality of the built-in speakers. The Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700 helps transform your laptop into a private theater in the cozy confines of your lap.”

Sony has shrunk its glasses-free 3D technology into a tiny screen, and it can bring anime characters to life on your desk
It's almost like having a digital, three-dimensional companion on your desk.
Sony's smaller 3D display for desk

Glasses-free 3D has always felt like a luxury I could admire from afar. Those screens were built for design studios, not smaller desks like mine. But Sony’s new version is small enough to sit beside my keyboard, and I’m genuinely excited.

The company has unveiled the ELF-MN1, a 6-inch display that makes 3D characters and avatars look like they’re coming out of the screen without any special glasses or a headset. It plugs into a phone or PC with one USB-C cable, and that’s pretty much it (via Sony).

3D-printed ghost guns are a notorious blind spot. Scientists may have finally cracked the traceability problem

Most conventional firearms come with serial numbers and leave unique microscopic markings on bullets and cartridge cases when fired. Investigators can use these clues to trace weapons or connect them to crimes. However, 3D-printed firearms, commonly called ghost guns, present a different challenge. They can be manufactured without serial numbers, and their unconventional construction can make traditional forensic analysis more difficult.

Now, researchers in Australia may have found another way to trace these weapons, using clues hidden in the plastic they're made from.
