The Hot List

Top ten tech that gets the Ninja’s current cloaked nod of approval…

 

1. Photosynth – software for analysing and interlinking photographs to create a virtual 3d space you can move around in.

 

2. Microsoft ICE – software for merging snapshots in to large scale panoramas and gigabyte sized images – just plain works and is awesome!

 

3. GPS-enabled photo tagging – Geo-tag images so you can plot them on a map. Well cool!

 

4. Xbox 360 Natal Project – control games using only your body. No controller, just your body movements! Gimme, gimme gimme!

 

5. HD Camcorders – simply awesome image quality in hand-held devices.

 

6. Touch screens – I never tire of these and Windows Touch looks sweet.

 

7. Netflix – we need this in the UK asap!

 

8. Windows 7 – lean, mean and just flat out works – roll on October 22^nd!

 

9. Nvidia Ion and Intel Atom – tiny but powerful pc architecture – one of these will be the basis for my next home theatre pc – just can’t decide which!

 

10. Windows Home Server – media streaming throughout the house, pc backups, remote desktop access and data security – job done!
