Your notebook/productivity tool/mobile office dragging you down with a sub 3-hour battery life? Aren't these devices meant to "free you from the wired inconvenience of desktop-bound machines"? (quoted from an ad somewhere). Well so far the most dissapointing aspect ofmobile devices have always been the battery life, or the lack thereof. In comparison, wireless performance, form-factor and the resulting portability, applications and the features have all improved tremendously over the years, leaving long battery life as the holy grail for future mobile devices.

Peripheralistic Paralysis Syndrome, or PPS, is probably something that you've never heard of before. A pretty sure thing, since I just made that up.

This could mean anything from doing your payments and withdrawals at your local bank, plonking down in front of your PC to log onto an online RPG, picking up your phone to make a call, or perhaps keeping an eye out on market and investment trends on your TV. All these rely on massive computational power, to keep track of all of the data if for nothing else. This is where EYP, an HP company, comes in.

Are you spoilt for choice? Ever had the quandary of choosing between caramel flavor or mocha flavor? Well, Coca-Cola is about to make things all that much harder for the indecisive, and everyone else who happens to be standing behind them waiting to make their own purchase. I am referring to Coca-Cola’s plans to introduce a vending machine that is able to produce 100 different flavors of soda.

There have been many examples of wireless speaker technology over the years, and while the majority works well enough for what it promises, range has not been one of those exemplary virtues of these products.
