Yes, you read that correctly – a mouse that reads veins, not fingerprints or irises or some other body part.

This USB mouse from Fujitsu uses their PalmSecure scanner plus some Windows compatible software to authenticate you (or your arm) by your veins.

In its on-going quest for fame and glory, Fujitsu has installed a fuel-cell (specifically, a proton exchange membrane, or PEM, fuel cell, which sounds way cool) at its Sunnyvale, CA campus. The monster fuel cell generates 200 kw of power, enough to provide for half of the compound’s data center’s cooling needs. Eventually, the unit will also provide heat, at up to 85% efficiency (compared to normal systems that only achieve 50%).

As usual, Fujitsu has cooked up some delicious Tablet PC goodness in the upcoming T2010. Check out the specs:

• Intel Core 2 Duo ULV at 1.06GHz or 1.2GHz
• Intel GM 965 Chipset (so, Santa Rosa)
• Up to 4GB of DDR2-533 RAM
• 12.1" WXGA Screen with LED backlight
• Intel GMA X1300 graphics (so, not a gaming machine, obviously)
• Up to 120GB SATA
• Wi-Fi 802.11a/g/n or a/b/g
• Bluetooth
• Gigabit Ethernet
• Standard battery life of up to 9 hours, up to 11 hours with extended version
• 3.31 lbs

No, for those who are into tablets, those are some nice specs. Just the right size, performance would be fine for a Tablet (which to should never be expected to be a decent gaming machine), and a screen that’s high enough resolution without being blinding. Pricing will start at $1,599, and I’m sure go up from there with the appropriate options.

While most hard drive manufacturers are concentrating on making drives that spin as seldom as possible, Fujitsu decided to go in the opposite direction. Their MHY2 BS series, up to 200GB, 5400RPM, SATA 2.5 inch drives, are meant to run non-stop. I suppose there are certain applications, like medical equipment and industrial systems, that benefit from perpetual motion. Pricing not available, but the drives will be available sometime in August.

This sweet Vista-ready, 15.4-inch laptop features a 2GHz AMD Turion processor, 2GB of RAM, a 120GB HDD, an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 graphics card with 256MB of RAM, and a DVD-RW optical drive. With Bluetooth, 802.11a/b/g, five USB ports, and a fingerprint reader!, this baby can be yours for $1149.
