4HomeMedia’s HealthPoint 1500 provides remote health monitoring
Filed under: Household
There’s not a lot to go on just yet, but 4HomeMedia looks to be invading the ever-expanding home healthcare industry with the HealthPoint 1500. Dubbed an open-standards home health hub, the device reportedly provides remote health monitoring, offers up “in-home benefits” for elders and keeps friends, family and caregivers connected via a fully customizable Health Portal. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of details beyond that, but stay tuned for further developments.

Largest arcade machine in the world
Now isn’t this an absolute monstrosity - you actually need stepladders to be able to stand on it just to get your game on! Talk about a really huge arcade cabinet to enjoy all your classic arcade titles. Hopefully each game will still cost a quarter and not correspond with the relative size of the machine in terms of pricing. For those who are into statistics, this largest arcade cabinet in the world stands over 13 feet tall and boasts a 70″ display (ouch!). No idea on how much it’ll cost though.

Intel rolls out 45nm microprocessors
Intel has recently released sixteen new chips that incorporate the 45nm Hafnium-based high-k metal gate transistors which have been proven to be smaller, faster and more eco-friendly than previous generations. According to Gordon E. Moore, co-founder of Intel, he thinks that this new process is a major breakthrough as the biggest transistor advancement in 40 years. In addition, this improvement is tipped to further extend Moore’s Law - at least for a little while longer when other folks thought that it is done and over with already.
These new processors managed to cram in a whopping 420 million transistors into each individual dual core chip, while each quad core chip has double that amount - which translates to nearly a 100% increase in transistor density compared to previous models. Both the Intel Core 2 Extreme and Xeon processors also hold the distinction of being the first to be manufactured on the 45 nanometer scale - a move that sees performance being boosted to unprecedented levels while lowering power consumption, a step that ought to go down well with folks who think that PCs consume way too much power than they should.
A dozen new quad-core chips will feature clock speeds that range between 2GHz and 3.20GHz, featuring front side bus speeds of up to 1600MHz, while cache sizes have reached an amazing 12MB in size. Not only that, three new dual-core chips boast clock speeds of up to 3.40GHz, a front side bus speed of up to 1600MHz, and cache sizes of 6MB. As for the 45nm Hi-k Intel Xeon processors, they are compatible with server platforms using the Intel 5000 chipset family. Three other platform solutions that support the new 45nm processors are:
- The Intel 5400 chipset-based platform (previously codenamed “Stoakley”) that is optimized for high-bandwidth applications like high-performance computing
(HPC).
-The Intel 5100 Memory Controller Hub chipset and Intel ICH-9R I/O controller (previously codenamed “Cranberry Lake”). These are cost-optimized solutions
that support either one or two processors and also provide reduced power consumption using native DDR2 memory.
- The Intel 3200 chipset-based platform (previously codenamed “Garlow”) that is specifically designed for single-processor entry servers.

Anyone remember when you used to play with magnifiers or microscopes? Yeah, perhaps that was that awkward age of 6 to 11 when you had pretty much no responsibilities and you were a constant victim of boredom.
That certainly is the audience for the EyeClops Handheld Bionic Eye by Jakks Pacific. As you can see, the EyeClops Handheld Bionic Eye is this giant eyeball that attaches to a television. Flip the switch on the EyeClops, and it magnifies up to 200 times.
This definitely gives a child or perhaps an adult the chance to view that wonderful world of the microscopic. The EyeClops Handheld Bionic Eye even comes with an observation chamber and dish to view small objects and liquids, as well as some hands-free usage.
The advertisements that I have seen say that there is no software to install, no system requirements, and no buttons or switches to adjust. I can’t help but wonder if that means you can only adjust the EyeClops physically. In other words, to get a clear focus, you’ll probably have to move it back and forth.
The EyeClops Handheld Bionic Eye somehow hooks up to the television, and I can only assume it uses the red, yellow, and white ports. It takes about 5AA batteries and is found on the Toys R Us website for $39.99.

Wii’s Guitar Hero III not down with surround sound?
Filed under: Gaming
We don’t know who thought it’d be smart to mess with the gods of rock, but choosing not to include surround sound support for Guitar Hero III just doesn’t sound like an intelligent move. Nevertheless, a assemblage of Wii gamers are reporting that the game is outputting audio in mono, despite the packaging advertising that Dolby Pro Logic II is supported. We’ve even seen users with Pro Logic II-capable decoders explain that while other Wii titles sound fine, GHIII in particular refuses to cooperate. Supposedly, Activision is busy looking into the problem, but there doesn’t seem to be a definitive time frame for when we can expect a fix. So, any of you shredders out there experiencing something similar, or have we only heard one channel, er, side of the story?

Wii to drop MP3 support, add AAC in Photo Channel update
Filed under: Gaming, Portable Audio
While we’re sure that some Wii updates have been more highly regarded than others, it seems that MP3 diehards will want to pass on a forthcoming Photo Channel update if you just can’t bear to lose support for your favorite music format. Apparently, the aforementioned channel will be revamped early next month, and while users will then be able to personalize their menu by implanting an SD-based digital image into the Photo Channel icon, gamers who previously used their Wii to play back MP3s will no longer be able to do so. For whatever reason, the Big N will be axing MP3 support and adding in AAC compatibility, and the company even goes out of its way to make sure that you realize downgrading will not possible once you install v1.1. Mark it down folks — don’t be left full of regret (if you’re partial to MP3, that is) after carelessly downloading an update without reading the changelog first.
