這個訊息與之前4月的時候，台灣微軟所發的新聞稿中是吻合的。根據微軟資深副總裁Bill Veghte最近在一封給客戶的公開信表示「微軟將會為XP繼續提供更新至2014年」，他提到：「由於我們意識到許多人會持續使用Windows PC許多年，所以我們將會繼續支援XP」
This portable photo printer looks like a Sanrio lunch bucket for kids, which is perfect actually, as it gives off the impression of something light and easy to carry (which it is). The compact Canon SELPHY CP770 photo printer is one of the newer additions to Canon's SELPHY line of compact photo printers, and seems made for that person who is just so impatient to print photos that he/she must print while the party is still going on.
The actual printer is the top part of the bucket; the basket space is used to store your paper and other supplies. Comes with an A/C cable, but with an optional Canon battery pack, you can take this anywhere. When you're ready to print, you can either insert your camera's memory card into one of the slots on the printer, or print wirelessly from your Bluetooth-enabled camera phone. Maximum paper size is 4x8. Big buttons, large display for previewing your photos (2.5" TFT display), and automatic red-eye correction make this very user-friendly, even for grandma.
Quite a good idea for kids' birthday parties, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, family reunions and such - because, seriously, who really has time to go back home, print out photos, put them in envelopes and mail them out to people? Of course, you can email digital photos in many different ways, but there are still people who don't know how to (or simply never will) download or print them. Besides, doesn't this printing bucket promise the same kind of fun that we had with Polaroids? Who doesn't like to watch silly images of themselves materialize in their hands while they're still posing?
The SELPHY CP770 is available for $149 at Amazon.

Now that we mostly don't need traditional wristwatches to urgently tell us the time, playful watch designs seem to have largely replaced the utilitarian digital watches of old. You can go sci-fi futuristic with watches from Tokyoflash or go the other direction and get something like this Zihotch Retro Phone Watch from AudioCubes.com, which reminds you of the olden days of rotary dial phones (you can pick it up for $80). Made by Japanese company Maywadenki, it's a rather huge piece if you have a tiny wrist, so it might be more appropriate as a Halloween costume if you go dressed as an old style phone booth.
