CTS 2005: Article Round-Up

Hexus has a LOT of CTS content this round.

Computer Trade Show – an outsider’s take, Part 1
A small team, even on crutches, could get around the show in a day – or two if determined to miss nothing – but few if any products make world debuts, even if plenty do get their first UK outings. On the plus, side, the hack with web-site inches to fill has to look harder (doubly so one with little expertise in the subtleties of general computer retailing), and that can mean keeping an eye open for things that might get passed over at a bigger show – whether useful, interesting or both.

Touchmate Vibrator Headset
The Vibration control has two levels of response and runs of an inline battery pack giving roughly 30 hours of gameplay. The vibration motor kicks in when low bass noises are played or heard… so rumbling explosions really rumble! URL

The actual key presses feel spongy, but that’s to be expected from a keyboard with no stiff bits in it at all and a high proportion of silicone. So what’s the advantage of having one then? There’s a whole mass of professions where having a keyboard impervious to dust and liquids would be a boon… and a keyboard that can be unplugged and dunked in the sink to wash is even better. URL
