Xerox EverFlat Paper

Now we all know that Xerox is a household name. They don’t need to come up with anything new to let us know that they are boss when it comes to printing, paper technology and other stuff. But, they decided that all this wasn’t enough and the big brains there at Xerox came up with the EverFlat Paper. Wasn’t paper already flat? Well you are missing the point if you are asking this question. The idea behind this is for books and photos to lay completely flat so they would look better for us mere mortals. This means that pages will bend, bow or arc no more.

Along with the EverFlat paper, Xerox came out with four new photo paper products. The first one on our list is Xerox PhotoPix. It’s a -cut, tabloid-sized sheet that creates one 8″ x 10″, one 5″ x 7″ and four wallet-size high-gloss photos. It’s very easy on our pockets, as you can print up to 6 photos on one paper and it is also perforated in the center so it can be folded and placed into a conventional envelope.

Next up is the SportsPix, a letter-sized, pre-cut sheet that simplifies the process of printing on-demand trading cards. From one SportsPix sheet you get two double-sided cards, both matching size and thickness.

Third is the FunFlip, which is similar to an origami, but with photos. It all starts as a letter-sized sheet that folds into a 3″ x 3″ square, and then can unfold to display four different images. It can be used to create unique product presentations or invitations or whatever your mind can think of. The sky is the limit.

AccordianPix is the last on the list. It’s application that is folded into a free-standing, panorama of eight images. It comes with no additional finishing.

All this being said, let’s give it up to Xerox for reminding us again why they rule.

With a five-year warranty and functionality on Windows, OS X and Linux a price of $132 and $177 for the larger one, i still say there are as useful as a condom when you are alone on the moon.

Belkin Switch-to-Mac Cable, what would they think of next?

admin — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:55:04 +0000

For years we have seen how Microsoft and Apple have been battling over who has the best platform. Us users for years have just been using either or both platforms without giving a damn about their battles. Others have been making tech to bring the two operating systems close together. This is the case of the Switch-to-Mac cable from Belkin.

With this little thingy you can transfer files from a Mac to a Windows computer in a blink of an eye. These files include music, movies, photos, documents and even Internet settings. For a price of $49.99 and supporting Windows XP and vista and also Mac OS X 10.4/10.5, I can say itâ€™s not a bargain, but itâ€™s definitely a step forward.
