Though the corded ones were very popular they are being fast replaced by the wireless ones. Commercially speaking the wireless ones are more convenient. With the corded headphones you had to deal with many cables and connections which you had to connect to different points in the system. They were also quite cheap. The wireless ones, particularly the Bluetooth headsets are comparatively expensive yet with them you don't have to deal with cables and cords........ ]]> http://www.technology-blog.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2010/ricoh-cx3-digital-camera.html http://www.technology-blog.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2010/ricoh-cx3-digital-camera.html Sat, 27 Feb 2010 05:49:42 GMT Ricoh, is a name that those who are relatively new to photography may not be familiar with, but the Ricoh name has taken a richly deserved spot among the better, long term camera makers. ......... ]]> http://www.technology-blog.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2010/barbie-gets-geeked.html http://www.technology-blog.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2010/barbie-gets-geeked.html Fri, 19 Feb 2010 04:19:01 GMT According to Mattel"s site, the doll"s designers worked side by side with the Society of Women Engineers and the National Academy of Engineering to design realistic clothing and accessories.

A study of 1025 13-17 year olds, reported in the open access journal BMC Neurology, found no association between the use of computer games, mobile phones or television and the occurrence of headaches or migraines. However, listening to one or two hours of music every day was linked to a pounding head........ ]]> http://www.technology-blog.com/blogs/permalinks/1-2010/wireless-hdmi-senders.html http://www.technology-blog.com/blogs/permalinks/1-2010/wireless-hdmi-senders.html Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:30:29 GMT Despite the name of this blog being the "wired" weblog, there's certainly been a distinct trend over the past few years to head towards wireless systems, and televisions have been the one thing not complying with this; the uncompressed nature of HD content not lending itself to the reletively small bandwidth of wireless tech. ......... ]]> http://www.technology-blog.com/blogs/permalinks/1-2010/hi-tech-and-low-tech-bicycle-madness.html http://www.technology-blog.com/blogs/permalinks/1-2010/hi-tech-and-low-tech-bicycle-madness.html Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:59:23 GMT Some examples of outrageous modern concepts, old bizarre ideas and some funny examples of bicycle design. ]]> http://www.technology-blog.com/blogs/permalinks/1-2010/lg-bangs-out-the-portable-digital-tvs.html http://www.technology-blog.com/blogs/permalinks/1-2010/lg-bangs-out-the-portable-digital-tvs.html Mon, 18 Jan 2010 05:40:55 GMT Portable TVs are something that never really made it into the modern age, what with laptops and the like providing the ability to watch video on the move; but I honestly think the sector is missing out! LG must also think this as they are to begin production of the first Digital TV ready portable devices. Providing up to 4 hours battery life they may well be a must have for those on the move who just cannot live without live ......... ]]> http://www.technology-blog.com/blogs/permalinks/1-2010/hands-free-hand-soap.html http://www.technology-blog.com/blogs/permalinks/1-2010/hands-free-hand-soap.html Mon, 18 Jan 2010 03:42:54 GMT This hands-free Sensor Soap Pump will keep your hand soap handy and very stylish. The pump has an infra-red sensor to detect your hand and can dispense one of four different volumes of soap. There’s also a continuous dispensing button, presumably to be used for practical jokes.

At 12 3/4" long, unfolded and supporting your laptop, the AViiQ laptop stand is only a little bigger than a sheet of paper.
