When hooked on to the PC , it detects wizpy as a bootable USB device from which the linux OS is loaded.Operations such as adding new Documents are possible only when booted onto this OS.This may appear cumbersome for some users who are not too friendly with foreign operating systems other than the trustworthy Windows, or for users who dont have the patience to exit from windows to the new OS just to change one or 2 mp3s or documents.As of now , Nothing has been said about the sound quality or Price of the player as its yet to be released globally.Im sure this is going to be something interesting to look forward to.
Over and out

Look Ma... no glasses

If u thought virtual reality couldnt get any better and 3d has come to a standstill then ure in for a surprise.Monitors that give u 3d LITERALLY with NO glasses ( Yeah u read that right , 'my dear kuttichathan' type 3d without the funky glasses). Brought out by SHARP , These Monitors offer both 3d as well as 2d Functionality with the simple click of a button. OF course now comes the obvious question " how does it work "??? I read a bit and this is what i found

Sharp's 3D monitor can be thought of as a TFT sandwich. The monitor contains
two TFT panels separated by a parallax barrier, which directs pixel images to
two separate regions so that each eye receives a slightly different image.
In the end, the brain formulates the signals so that the image appears to be a
three-dimensional object. Although the monitor offers such a breakthrough in technology various factors pull it down which are

1) U gotta be seated in a particular position to Percieve the 3d in the right way.(which means u cant see it clearly if u are with your feet up on the desk, head tilted to one side)

2) Two people cant see 3d Simultaneously

3)People with visual problems - no depth perception, one eye (no pun intended) won't see images in 3D

4)The resolution is only 1024x768 and the screen size is only 15".

5)It sounds like only nVidia graphics boards are supported; ATI are not. (Do i recollect Rj having an onboard ATI?? ;)) )

Priced at 440$, its supposed to work wonders with Games especially fine tuned for NVidia cards !! Though im yet to see a monitor like this in real life . Click here For the official website which shows the Tech specs as well as The list of games which is optimized for this monitor.
