Yes, faithful viewers, more Apple news!

In an effort to increase the speed of which iTunes uses to download media, Swarmcast presents a new technology called the Autobahn Accelerator. This program uses multi-source streaming that is able to download songs and movies 10 times faster than iTunes can by itself. According to Justin Chapweske, Cheif Executive and founder of Swarmcast, this program is all an effort to "bring a cable or satellite television-type of experience to folks watching video over the Internet."

Chances are, your computer already has the technology necessary for you to have an enjoyable viewing experience. But in any case, if you require that extra burst of speed, this is how you get it.

Either that, or they’re just implying that the replacement for the PPC-6700 will be a very important person. Or a popular feature on a ski slope.

Odd naming choice aside, this looks like an impressive bit of phone tech, preferable even to the phone-that-shall-not-be-named due to a (potentially) wider distribution, physical keyboard, and faster Internet connection. It’s not as pretty, but then, what is?

Other notable features include a 2.8" QVGA display, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, a microSD slot, 64MB of RAM, 256MB of flash ROM, and a 2 megapixel camera. It won’t be cheap, though: Sprint’s selling the Windows Mobile 6 smartphone for $399.99 with a two-year contract.

Kodak has developed an advancement in digital imaging technology that may make flashes on digital cameras a thing of the past.  This new chip design will allow cameras to capture images with less light, and will also make pictures of moving objects less blurry.  The way current imaging chips work is with an arrangement of red, green, and blue pixels that each capture their respective color of light.  The colors are then combined together to form an image.  The new design adds "clear" pixels to the arrangement, which pick up a greater proportion of visible light.  This might sound complicated, but all you really need to know is that the new chips will be more sensitive to light, and therefore better at taking pictures when it’s dark.  We probably won’t see these new chips in any consumer devices until early next year at the earliest.  Judging from this picture here, Kodak will likely spend the next few months figuring out how to manufacturer their new chip at sizes smaller than a woman’s face.

Introducing the Voiis mini Pocket Messenger Phone, a class 1 Bluetooth device for your Skype and MSN Messenger calls.

It’s also an iTunes and Windows Media Player music within a 100-meter (max) radius of the included base station. The built-in mic allows you to connect to headphones.

Battery life is said to be 6 hours, 72 hours on standby. Available now in Japan for an expected ¥15,900 or $130.

As I was drinking my coffee this morning I experienced a funny sensation. The coffee I was drinking slowly but surely started to cool off. Cooler and cooler it got until (gasp!) it was disgustingly cold. Then it hit me! I’ll invent something that allows me to both type on my computer (the reason why I was sipping my coffee ever so slowly) and drink piping hot coffee at the same time. Alas, as I got done putting the finishing touches on,  it came to my attention that someone else had already invented it. Drats.

It’s a hot plate made to plug into your USB port of your computer  and it keeps your coffee drink warmer for longer. It also acts as a 4-port USB hub, so you don’t have to disconnect anything vital to plug it in.

Cool huh? Although someone though of my brilliant idea I have another to counter it. A coffee stain resistant computer! What do you think?

May the force be with you.
