Category: General Tags: logitech launches 720p webcam streaming | Posted by karlstlkst 717 days ago
Logitech just announced its C line of webcams including the C910 ($100) with two mics for noise cancellation and 720p video calls. It ships in August. The C510 is more portable and folds up on itself for travel - it's $60. Finally, you have the C310 and C270 ($50 and $40) that stream at 720p and little else. These last three ship in June.

I tried the webcams with Logitech's new VidHD platform and made a video call with Logitech's headquarters. The software is still in beta so I froze up a bit during the call but overall the experience was quite interesting. Compared to calling my parents over Skype, the resolution was surprisingly high and I could actually see my contact's hair instead of a blur of pixels. The software is Mac and PC compatible. read more »

Playdom, the Silicon Valley-based social games developer, has announced its intention to try and crack Europe.

It's planning an aggressive roll out across the Atlantic, aiming to create localised versions - French, Italian, German and Spanish - of its top titles, which include Mobsters, Tiki Resort and Big City Life, by the end of this year. The company's games largely target Facebook and MySpace, although it also has offerings for iPhone and Hi5, among other platforms.

The first of Playdom's games to be available fully localised will be Bola, a Facebook football game which brings arcade-style football to the popular social network. Already available as a beta, analytics firm Appdata lists it as the 41st most popular application on Facebook, says the company. read more »

Category: General Tags: google kills homepage background image e | Posted by karlstlkst 717 days ago
Last night, Google decided to temporarily abandon the principles behind its famously spartan homepage in favor of something a little different: a background image, which has been a design element present on rival search engine Bing since it launched. Users predictably went nuts as their clean, bare homepages suddenly featured flowerly hippo things and other colorful photographs. Countless tweets have complained about the images, and our story last night racked up over 200 comments. read more »
