ENVY 27 Display with Beats Audio [Hands-On]

Back around CES time, I clued you guys into a monitor that sounds almost as good as it looksThe ENVY 27 Display with Beats Audio is more than just a monitor. It’s got a 2-speaker setup parked just below screen. It’s got a funky off-center base…..and, if I’m being 100 percent honest, I’m not really using it with my PC right now. But I’ll get to that in a minute.

A Sassy, Mini Mouse (The HP Z4000)

We’ve been talking about touch a lot. On your smartphone and tablet. Your TouchSmart desktops…and more recently, laptops. Sometimes, though, a mouse is still the best way to get around your computer. For some, a mouse is still the quickest way to edit documents (or play StarCraft II). How about a barely-there mouse that looks so nice you’d actually want to have it sit on your desk – even when you’re not using it? That’s the HP Z4000.

Earth Month 2013: More Sustainable Printing

I’ve got a riddle for you: What do you get when you combine the plastic from a recycled HP printer cartridge with a used water bottle? At HP, the answer is raw material for a brand new printer cartridge. Now, combine the recycled plastic from 280 million printer cartridges with 2 billion water bottles and you get enough raw materials for more than one billion new HP print cartridges. Not to mention a lot less waste dumped into landfills.

Young Guru: Thoughts on the Music Industry and the Era of the Engineer

Last week, I jumped at the chance to talk with music industry legend, Young Guru. As an influential audio engineer and DJ, we went into what happens developing an album’s sound. We also talked about some of the technology that’ll help the next generation of musicians coming up. This week, as Young Guru is on tour, [link] we sat back down to talk about some of the artists he’s worked with in the past, things he’s learned along the way and whom he’d like to work with next.

Your Printer’s Calling: “Change Your Ink!”

If I installed the SureSupply app, I probably wouldn’t be in the fix I’m in right now. An app on my phone would’ve warned me that I was low on ink, tell me the kind of cartridge I’d need to buy and then tell me the closest place I could snag it. Instead, I need to go out to a store in the morning.

HP’s Moonshot: Making the Internet Go Faster

Fun fact: For every 120 smart phones that get activated, a new server earns its wings. Seriously. All the app usage, downloads, upload, updates, tweets, check-ins… – everything – requires additional servers. While you’re asking yourself, “Why are these guys talking about high-end server architecture here?” Allow me explain it in two words: Faster. Internet. I’m gonna spend a couple minutes talking about a service and tech that you will probably never even think of – HP’s Moonshot System. However, it will seriously impact companies and Web sites that you rely upon every day.
