Plug and Play Ultrasound Probe (Engadget)

May 26th 2006 4:23AM This should've come out earlier when Tom Cruise really needed it. (Remember there was news a while back that he purchased an ultrasound machine to use on Katie?)

MultiSwitch hub will allow LAN-less USB sharing (Engadget)

Apr 18th 2006 1:51AM ahh, this is great. my KVM has a three port hub that my two computers can share, except that the usb speed is 1.1.
can't wait for this. the only thing i have hooked up to the hub on the KVM now is a webcam and my USB mouse. I hooked up my 2.5" disk to it and the transfer sppeds were too slow.

The smaller, faster XS-Drive MP3 VP3650 card reader from Cardmedia (Engadget)

Jan 19th 2006 7:50AM oh my god i had one of these crap card backup devices (from the same company. the serial number also started with XS something something. they used to be called Vosonic or something). bought it a year ago. it used a 2.5" laptop drive then. and guess what? only 2 hours battery life then too. and still 2 hours battery life for the new one? even with a smaller sized hard drive? that should be less power intensive right?

Survey says: Not enough desktop Linux apps (Download Squad)
