1/20 T

So, here is some new (some not so new) technologies that I came across doing some research.

1. Gesture Based Remote Control
So, this basically allows you to control your computer, or certain functions by motions or hand and body gestures. The idea would be to have a camera, to watch the user and react accordingly. There are some systems existing, but with limited use, such as reading a few different hand motions.

2. Google's Desktop Operating System
Basically Google would do everything, as if it doesnt already? Google Chrome is the name, although some people are saying its just a glorified browser.

3. USB 3.0
Ideally increasing the performance and power efficiency, processing about the equivalent of a CD-R disc every second. They are expected to be still compatible with USB 2.0 plugs. This would mean faster charging times for ipod and other gadgets, consumer products are expected sometime in 2010.
