Google Goggles lets you use pictures taken with your mobile phone to search the web. It's ideal for things that aren't easy to describe in words. There's no need to type or speak your query - all you have to do is open the app, snap a picture, and wait for your search results.
Google Goggles works better with certain types of queries. Try taking pictures of books & DVDs, landmarks, logos, contact info, artwork, businesses, products, barcodes, or text. Currently, it's not so good when taking pictures of animals, plants, cars, furniture, or apparel.

Razer is a brand that has become synonymous with gaming. Ever since its inception, the company has been dedicated to churning out the best gaming peripherals.
Previously, Razer made history by releasing its first ever wireless gaming mouse, the magnificent Mamba. Now, it is building on the success of the Mamba by chalking up yet another first.
Named after the mythical Japanese eight-forked serpent, the Orochi you see here is not only Razer's first portable gaming mouse, it is also its first ever Bluetooth mouse.

Basically, on the picture above you will find the graphic card is build up with heat-pipes, heat-sinks, a fan and a circuit board. Heat-pipes inside contain coolant which is typically to used to decrease heat temperature. But I found most of the graphic cards, technically, they are using heat-pipe to build a card. To compare with 5770, it is the most power-hungry, because it consists 959 million of transistors in the GPU, and single transistor, its size is built in 55nm, it is quite big.

The Sony Digital Still Camera Terminator X5 (DSC-TX5) is a waterproof camera. It is the world’s thinnest and smallest certified waterproof camera. It can be dropped in up to 10 feet of water without suffering any damage.
Features on the TX5 include Optical SteadyShot that stabilises images. The camera has a 10.2 megapixel sensor and is the first Sony camera to use a new Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) sensor called Exmor R that is certified to be freeze proof down to 14 degrees F. As well as being freeze proof, the camera can also withstand dust and shock from a drop of about 5 feet.

Unexpectedly, Google would be out of a new mobile phone, but also lies in the expensive brand HTC. HTC's best feature is sensitivity touch, so you do not have to worry about the bad things to touch. Why it is called the HTC Google Nexus One? Because it has many of Google's software to support, but also not to say that the OS is all run on Google's Android. After seeing its price, we could know how expensive it is. If you wait until the Nexus Two listed, the price is likely to be considered.

The first impression is the most important, Nexus One's image and features enough to attract our attention. But also in the market of the Android devices, Nexus One can be said to be the thinnest of. Simply put, when Nexus One is in our palm grip is just a good fit, and its weight is not too heavy.
When we handled the Nexus One, mixed feelings were abound. Similar to the HTC Hero, the Nexus One comes with a teflon coating to prevent copious amount of fingerprint smears on the device. That sounds like a perfect, but smudges are still prevalent on the 3.7-inch OLED screen. The Nexus One is great for the fingers, but we realized that the same teflon coating also give us to grip the device harder to prevent it from slipping.
Despite its wide 3.7-inch screen and its lengthy dimensions, the Nexus One was easy to handle with its thin and light weight profile.

If you are looking for a speaker, I will suggest brand Altec Lansing. Because Altec founded 70 years ago, it must had tremendous experience in audio systems. Or I should tell it dedicated the audio sound systems.
From PlayStation gaming console to their Bravia TVs, you might be curious about Sony in your search for the perfect 2.1 audio setup. Though Sony has come to every aspect of electronic products, first thing I will mention that Sony has difficulty on making all kinds of electronic products, which I mean they have to make sure their products run good.
In terms of price, they are evenly matched at $299 per set, but look at their specification, we could see the table below, Sony seems to be good at power output.
