Mouse & type on your computer from afar... Thank you, Wi-Fi! (image via Mobiletor.com). I’m sure you’ve heard about Logitech’s Touch Mouse by now; the internet’s been buzzing with the news since Monday (and the story was floating around in cyberspace for a bit before it took off).
Polar Bear TV on the Prowl: Hannspree combines TV and the Animal Kingdom
Polar Bears are typically pretty scary to encounter in real life, that is unless you have some protective glass between you and them. Now what would happen if the glass was inside of the Polar Bear instead, and it was actually a 720p HDTV from Hannspree. Well you would have yourself the CES Polar Bear TV from Hannspree in all its furry glory.
Sling Touch Control 100: A Thing of Beauty

Microsoft’s Project Natal as your Remote Control? No, Thanks.
Call me old fashioned but I still don't get this whole gesture control movement that is being adopted for TV's and other devices. I get the use of it in video games, its funner playing tennis in a video game when you get to at least swing something instead of pressing a button. There is that associated action of swinging your arm and playing tennis. The problem is I don't have any motion or movement that I would like to associate with TV viewing. Like what's the thumb's up gesture associated with? What was the hand wave for page up again?
NEC Creates Wireless Remote … and You are the Battery
Everyone company wants to be "green" now and doing their part, or at least claim they are green, because it is so popular right now. I haven't seen much actual progress yet unfortunately (especially from the electronics industry), but then I ran across this interesting prototype from NEC. They have created a remote control that doesn't use batteries or any source of external power except for you. It's not going to save the world or anything but every little bit helps.
