RIM was showing off their entry into the soon to be crowded tablet market. What's unique is that it's not running Android, Windows, (or even MeeGo). RIM is sticking with their own proprietary operating system that they've developed for this tablet, and the multitasking in particular looks impressive.

This past Saturday, IEEE Spectrum visited NYC Resistor's (www.nycresistor.com "Art, Design, and the Arduino Microcontoller: a lineage" gallery party. Curated by Alicia Gibb, the show was a loving tribute. The collection ranged from early Arduino prototypes to modern projects made with the microcontroller. Highlights included toy cars hacked to paint like Jackson Pollack, a coffee table that cleans itself, and LED jackets that lit up as you moved.

Engineers have always tried to come up with better controllers and input devices for video games, but many PC gamers still use their keyboards. Gaming gloves have always seemed like a good idea in theory, but in practice they could never compete. But now there's the Peregrine glove, which uses simple conductive strips to replace numerous hotkey commands with simple hand gestures.
