It looks like video games are not so bad for you after all. The study done by the University of Rochester found that a few hours of gaming daily, over the course of a month “substantially increased the spatial resolution of their vision”. Which made them 20% better at identifying letters in a visual cluster (simular to the charts in a ophthalmology clinic).

First of all i would like to thank Engadget for giving us a rather good looking mock-up of the new upcoming eMac. Although not much information is available for the new Mac but what seems to be certain will be the switch to a LCD monitor and hopefully will be powered be a Intel dual core processor as well. The buzz surrounding the new Mac seems to be the idea of introducing it in time for the Fall 2006 school year. Given a price that should center around $799-$999 it seems like the new eMac might be fairly popular with students

As everyone knows the new MacBook Pro’s use a nice motion sensor for its iSight software and various other applications but the coolest is a mod out there is a feature that allows you too switch desktops with just a little tap. This mod alone makes me want to purchase a MacBook Pro (the fact that its one of the fastest laptops out there also help a lil too)

Meizu just announced a new PMP into the market that has some striking features that resemble several of apply designs. However the beauty does pack a decent amount of features including, up to 4GB of memory, a 2.4″ screen, a microphone plug for voice recording, FM support of some kind, USB support and MP3/WAV/OGG/WMA for audio, and Xvid for video. Its battery life isn’t to bad either allowing for 20 hours of battery life for audio and 6 for video.

Apple really needs to pump out their IPod Video soon if they ever want to be a competitive force in the PMP world
