New iPad Keyboard Cover

Let's face it, since their inception, iPads have been designed to be more of a consumption device rather than an input device. Yes they are great for many tasks, but sometimes a physical keyboard would just makes things so much easier. With help from this new Logitech device, those of us who own the iPad2 or iPad3 can change all that.

Gesture control for the Mac

Most of us are familiar with Microsoft's great invention of the Kinect that allows users to use their body motions to control video games. Based on similar concepts, Mac users will now have a chance to use an application known as Flutter to help them control iTunes and Spotify.

Flutter utilizes the built-in webcam of the Macs to help them register hand gestures from up to 6 feet away. It allows music and videos in iTunes and music in Spotify to be played and paused by flashing the webcam a stop type hand gesture.
