Add as a preferred source on Google

The new mobile projectors, the XJ-360 and XJ-560, are capable of producing superior projection quality in a variety of conditions and are ideal for situations ranging from regular business meetings to high-powered presentations. The XJ-360 will be available at authorized dealers in late March and have a UMAP of $1,899.00. The XJ-560 will be available in late March, UMAP $2,899.00.

Main Features:

  • 2X optical zoom / the maximum for a ultra portable data projector
    CASIO’s proprietary zoom lens has been designed with 2X magnification to obtain the maximum benefit from the aspherical lens and low-dispersion glass. This enables clear projection from distances of as little as 0.8 meters from the screen, while projection of a 60-inch screen image can be achieved at any point between 1.6 and 3.2 meters. From small meeting rooms to large classrooms, the projectors lens offers tremendous flexibility in a lightweight, easy-to-use package.
  • Ultra-brightness from an incredibly compact unit
    The reverse meniscus condenser lens and aspherical-shaped reflector enable these compact projectors to deliver an astonishing level of brightness, enabling clear projection even with the room lighting on. The top-of-the-line XJ-560 delivers 3,000 lumens for a remarkable level of brilliance and clarity.
  • Automatic vertical/horizontal Keystone correction and auto focus (XJ-560)
    The phase differential sensor system automatically detects and corrects vertical and horizontal image distortion. In addition, auto-focus allows instant focusing at the touch of a button. Using the 2X optical zoom, you can freely adjust the projector’s focus length, greatly expanding your range of positioning.
  • Ease of use
    Both models are easy to use and offer the flexibility of projecting great pictures
    from anywhere in the room.
  • Direct Power OFF by removing the power cable after use (XJ-560)
    Condensers are activated in the projector to power the fan offering protection to the lamp from heat damage.

Google shuts down massive botnet running on 1.3 million Android TV boxes
Google says the Chinese manufacturer Videostrong Technology deliberately infected its devices and sold access to cybercriminals.

Malware infecting Android devices isn't new, but Google's recent report is grim and concerning. The search giant has taken down a massive botnet that turned over 1.3 million Android TV set-top boxes into tools for cybercriminals. Unlike the usual attacks, where users end up downloading some shady apps from the internet, the malware here was planted inside the devices by the manufacturer itself.

According to the Google Threat Intelligence Group, the company behind it is China-based Videostrong Technology. Google has now cut ties with the manufacturer and banned it from building or supplying software for certified Android devices.

Audio-Technica’s new wireless StreamSet headset promises studio sound without the cables
Finally, a wireless headset that takes your voice seriously.
Audio technica new headset.

I've lost count of wireless headsets that sound great until the microphone switches on. That is exactly why a cord-free streaming headset from a studio-audio brand earns my attention (with a pinch of skepticism). Audio-Technica wants to change my mind, and I am all up for it.

The company has announced the "ATH-M50xSTS-WL," its first wireless headset in the StreamSet line. What's unique, however, is how the brand has combined the studio sound of its ATH-M50x monitor headphones with microphone tech from its 20 Series studio mics (via Audio-Technica).

Samsung’s new clip-on earbuds are coming to the US, and they’re not cheap
You can listen to music without blocking out the world around you, but Samsung is charging a premium for the convenience.
Samsung Galaxy Buds On earbuds

Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled its first clip-on earbuds called the Galaxy Buds On. Initially, it announced pricing and availability details only for Korea, but now the brand has revealed them for the US market as well. As per Samsung, the Galaxy Buds On will cost $229 and will be available to buy in early November. Only one color option, Black, will be available initially.

That is quite a steep price, considering the flagship Galaxy Buds 4 Pro go for $250. The Buds On also has no active noise cancellation, weaker bass response, and lower dust and water resistance. All that said, the use case is fundamentally different. While you might choose the Buds 4 Pro as the best daily drivers for your Galaxy smartphone, the Buds On keep your ear canals open, letting you listen to music while staying aware of traffic, conversations, and everything else happening around you. I can see the appeal for people who find traditional earbuds uncomfortable, or those who regularly listen to music while running or commuting.
