Sony's Laptop Can Also be a 3G Wireless Hotspot

Nice feature to have, but most of you can get it on your own laptops through extra software.

Sony this week launched new Vaio Z and Y Series laptops that can also act as mobile hotspots. Sony calls its embedded wireless technology Share My Connection (SMC).

Sony's feature is aimed at those with wireless broadband subscriptions with Verizon, who will then be able to share the internet access with up to five other PCs or networked devices, such as smartphones, mp3 players, and cameras.

GAEMS' Console-In-A-Case Makes Xbox 360 Mobile

It might be a bit of a chore to cart around, but if you're determined to lug your Xbox 360 along when you go on holidays, then you'll need a way to carry it, won't you?

The new Xbox might be smaller and more portable but that doesn't mean those of us with last generation consoles can't take ours with us wherever we go. And while we're at it, should the fact that our cabin in the woods doesn't have a TV stop us? No, it should not. That's where the GAEMS Portable Console Gaming and Entertainment System comes in. It's a travel suitcase with built-in 15-inch, 720p display. There's also some speakers and a nice, dense polyurethane bed to protect your console against minor bumps and dings.

How to Get Rid of the Incessant Buzz of Vuvuzelas

Something different about this World Cup? We hear it too.

If you've been watching any of the World Cup soccer games lately, then you'll know what a vuvuzela is, even if you've never seen one in real life. You'll know it by its buzzing sound – the product of an instrument in African culture.

While the host nation's culture should be respected, those watching from home worldwide aren't as appreciative of the constant droning, buzzing noise. Quite frankly, it can take away from a match for those who aren't used to hearing anything other than cheering from the crowds and words from the commentators.

This noisy World Cup phenomenon has presented an opportunity for audio companies such as Waves Audio from Tel Aviv, Israel, who is now selling audio processing tools to filter out the sound of the vuvuzela in real time.

According to the EETimes, the solution comprises of two pieces of plug-in software: WNS Waves Noise Suppressor and the Q10 Paragraphic Equalizer.

Lifehacker has found that most audio editing software, even some home theatre EQ's, can do the job of filtering out the B-flat drone.

iPhone 4 has twice the RAM of iPad and 3GS

The new iPhone 4 has twice the RAM of Apple's magical and revolutionary iPad.

When the iPhone 4 was announced, a lot of people were surprised that some features, like iMovie, were exclusive to iPhone 4. Not even the iPad, with its identical A4 processor, was said to be getting all the same apps.

However, it seems the issue is one of hardware, more specifically, RAM. MacRumors reports that while the original iPhone and iPhone 3G boasted 128MB of RAM and the 3GS and iPad had twice that with 256MB, the iPhone 4 has 512MB of RAM.

Though Apple isn't exactly known for releasing the processor speed and RAM of any of its iPhones, the company supposedly confirmed the 512MB at WWDC last week.

Amazon Working on New Video Game Technology

A job posting for a position at Amazon has revealed that the company is working on some top secret, "completely new" gaming technology.

The fact that Amazon is looking to hire a Senior Product Manager for Digital Video Games is reason enough to be curious. However, Amazon went one step further and revealed that this person will be in charge of a "stealth project" focused on the creation and launch of a completely new type of technology for customers.

Applicants should be smart, analytical, and enthusiastic and have extensive experience working with software developers to build new technologies.
