Al giorno d’oggi abbiamo mille mila account di posta… di instant messaging e chi più chi meno siamo sui vari LinkedIn e Facebook… un gran casino tenere tutto sott’occhio…

Io tra MSN, ICQ, Skype, MSN, YahooMessenger dovrei tenere aperti 5 programmi… per non parlare della mail personale, quella del blog, LinkedIn e Facebook… ‘na faticaccia no?

Ed ecco che l’altro giorno “scopro” Digsby… mi “controlla” le varie mail e funge da IM multiprotocollo per i vari programmi di IM (eccetto Skype… almeno per ora)…

…poi controlla LinkedIn e facebook e un po’ di altre cose che non necessariamente utilizzo…

Comodissimo per i vari popup di avviso dei messaggi ma anche dei cambi di stato di FB o di nuovo foto inserite dai contatti…

La feature mooooolto comoda è che una volta installato su un PC e creato l’account su Digsby (a cui associare tutti gli altri) se per esempio sono in giro con il portatile ed installo Digsby lì… TAAAAAC automaticamente prende tutte le impostazioni che avevo già impostato sul PC di casa… in questo modo uno non si deve nemmeno più preoccupare di ricordarsi 10k password… ne basta una… uella di Digsby!

Personalmente mi son trovato a disabilitare un po’ di funzioni che risultavano “leggermente” invasive durante l’utilizzo normale: ridotto all’osso i popup e gli avvisi sonori in pratica] ma devo dire che sono rimasto piacevolmente impressionato dal programmino… Bhé provatelo anche voi no?

There are several instant messaging networks out there you can use for free. Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and ICQ are some popular ones. What’s kind of annoying is that each of these networks does not allow messages to be sent to any of the others, so you have to sign up for each service separately, and install the required software, to be able to chat with your friends on each network.

To address this problem, there are a bunch of instant messaging clients that actually allow you to sign in to multiple instant messaging protocols at once. You still can’t, for example, send an IM from your Yahoo! Messenger account to one of your ICQ buddies, and you still have to sign up for each service, but once you have signed up and set up the application, you can see the status of all of your contacts at once. The first of these multi-IM clients that I heard of was Trillian, which comes in a free standard edition and a $25 professional version. The pro version has better video, support for skins, and some other niceties, but the free version is more than adequate for whatever I’m up to.

If you’re looking for free-free, the IM client I recommend is Pidgin. Pidgin supports all of the popular IM protocols (and some less popular):

• AIM
• Bonjour
• Gadu-Gadu
• Google Talk
• Groupwise
• ICQ
• IRC
• MSN
• MySpaceIM
• QQ
• SILC
• SIMPLE
• Sametime
• XMPP
• Yahoo!
• Zephyr

Pidgin also supports plugins, so you can extend the functionality even further. I only use a couple of these: Facebook IM, which lets you chat with your Facebook friends without logging on to the site, and Microblog, which lets me update my Twitter status (I don’t really use this one very often). There are plenty more that I might check out, like the Guifications notification plugin and the Last.FM plugin that shows info about what songs I’m listing to.

Pidgin runs very nicely on Windows, and if you’re in to that sort of thing, it also runs on Linux and Unix (but not Mac OS X). Pidgin is also updated frequently, so there are always new features popping up.

Other Options

I haven’t used them much myself, but a couple of other multi-protocol IM clients I’ve heard a lot of great things about are:

• Digsby, which is Windows-only but packed with features such as built in email notifications and social network notifications; and
• Miranda IM, which also supports a wide array of protocols, and has more than 350 plugins, lots more than Pidgin.

At the end of the day, these free alternatives will give you plenty of features and customization options to keep you connected.

Online-Tools werden immer beliebter. Vom Email-Client  bis hin zu Office-Programmen oder sogar Bildbearbeitungssoftware gibt es inzwischen fast alles, was man auf den Rechner installieren kann, auch als schicken Online-Dienst, dessen Interface vom Browser aus bedient wird.

Dessen ungeachtet, möchte ich euch ein kleines Tool präsentieren, dass als Eierlegender-Wollmilchsau-Client als reine Desktopapplikation daherkommt, aber trotzdem mächtig verdrahtet ist!

Was ist digsby?

Digsby ist ein Programm, mit dem man viele Internet-Dienste, beispielsweise Chatprogramme oder Soziale Netzwerke, steuern kann ohne die zugehörigen Seiten aufzurufen oder Programme zu starten. In der Fachsprache nennt man sowas auch Multi-Protokoll-Client.

Was kann ich mit digsby machen?

Chatten, Twittern, Emails lesen, Soziale Netzwerke checken. Eben (fast) alles, was die unterstützen Dienste bieten. Digsby unterstützt nativ:

• AIM
• MSN
• Yahoo
• ICQ
• Google Talk
• Jabber
• Facebook Chat
• SMS
• Hotmail
• Gmail
• Yahoo
• AOL/AIM Mail
• IMAP und POP Mailserver
• Facebook
• Twitter
• Myspace
• LinkedIn

Nicht unterstützt werden leider IRC-Chats und Skype. Ebenfalls nicht unterstützt werden die deutschen Socialweb-Ableger Xing und StudiVZ, vermutlich deshalb, weil sie zum einen international kaum Relevanz haben und zum anderen keine leicht zugängliche Programmierschnittstelle bieten.

Features

Digsby befindet sich inzwischen schon in der Version 73. Dementsprechend ausgefeilt ist auch die Usability. Unzählige Features helfen bei der täglichen Benutzung Zeit zu sparen. Drei dieser Features, die mir  besonders positiv aufgefallen sind,  möchte ich im Folgenden vorstellen.

Mehrere Accounts und Global Status

Wer mehrere Twitter-Accounts hat, beispielsweise noch einen für den Blog oder einen für die engsten Freunde, der weiß, wie umständlich es ist, mit Account B einen Tweet abzusetzen, wenn man gerade mit Account A eingeloggt ist. Das selbe gilt für das Instant Messaging: Viele Anwender haben entweder Accounts bei mehreren Diensten, zum Beispiel ICQ und MSN oder sogar mehrere Accounts bei einem Dienst, um geschäftliches und privates zu trennen.

Einer dieser nerds, die gleich vier Twitter-Accounts bedienen wollen, bin ich. Digsby lässt mich dabei sogar einstellen, wie oft ich welchen Account aktualisieren möchte.

Doch auch im Bereich Instant Messaging profitiere ich von einem genialen Feature: Per drag+drop kann ich Accounts meiner Freunde zusammenziehen, um beispielsweise einen ICQ-Freund seinem facebook-Profil zuzuordnen. Dann bekomme ich ihn, egal mit welchem Account er online ist, als eine Person in meiner Freundesliste angezeigt und kann mit dem bevorzugten Dienst Kontakt zu ihm aufnehmen.

Chat-Features

Digsby unterstützt sowohl Multi-Tabbing beim chatten, als auch kleine Notifications am Bildschirmrand, in denen man sofort antworten kann.

Im normalen Chatfenster werden die von Firefox angelernten Shortcuts wie Strg+Tab zum Wechseln oder Strg+W zum Schließen verwendet. Natürlich lassen sich die Tabs per drag+drop neu anordnen, in neue Fenster überführen, und und und…

Twitter-Tricksereien

Tweets werden bei Digsby in einem festgelegten Intervall in einem Benachrichtigungs-Fenster dargestellt. Enthalten sie einen Shortlink, kommt man per Klick auf das Fenster direkt zum verlinkten Inhalt. Per Rechtsklick kann man sie wegklicken.

Genialerweise werden beim Durchscrollen der Twitter-Zeitleiste bereits bearbeitete Tweets grau hinterlegt und die Tweets an denen man vorbeiscrollt ebenso. So kann man kein einziges Update mehr verpassen.

Ebenfalls unterstützt werden direct mails, replys,  retweets und favs, wobei die replys sogar die hashtags automatisch übernehmen. Auch die Möglichkeit alle Twitter- und Netzwerk-Accounts mit der selben Nachricht zu unterstützen besteht.

Fazit

Wer mehrere Twitter- und Instant Messaging-Accounts hat, der kommt an einem Programm wie Digsby nicht vorbei. In wie weit Email und Soziale Netzwerke auch noch mit einem solchen Programm bedient werden müssen, muss jeder für seine Nutzungsmuster selbst entscheiden.

Fakt ist aber, dass die Twitter-Implementierung eine der besten unter allen Multi-Protokoll-Clients dieser Größenordnung ist und das die angesprochene Zusammenführung von Kontaktdaten den schnellen Austausch mit den Freunden, egal welches Chatprogramm diese bevorzugen, ermöglicht.

Und fast hätte ich es vergessen: Digsby ist natürlich umsonst. Hier kann man es ziehen.

How I Manage My Life Online – Social Networks, Emails, Bank Accounts, Instant Messenger, Password Manager!

Some of the things that make my life much more enjoyable are warm towels out of the dryer, the delicious food from Baja Fresh, my Mom being my free on-call personal assistant, and of course life out on the lake wakeboarding while others are at work.

Life online is far different… with countless email accounts, logins, bank accounts, credit cards, life online becomes convoluted quick!  As a technology consultant it is imperative that I know great solutions to not only manage my life online, but help my clients efficiently and effectively manage theirs.  The great thing about these solutions are that they are FREE! They don’t charge you. I’m not an affiliate where I’m making money off of promoting them.  I just simply enjoy and couldn’t manage life online without these online tools.  So here they are.

Mint.com

Free Personal Finance Software, Budget Software, Online Money Management and Budget Planner

You’ve got online banking, you have paypal, you have a savings account, possibly and e*trade account, multiple credit cards, car payments, of course some assets, and much more.  Mint.com combines all of these into one easy to use web-based application to manage your personal finances like no-other!  The other day I got an email from Mint.com saying this.

Hi there,

The interest rate on your American Express credit card has increased by 6.00%. As of November 02, your old rate of 11.24% is now 17.24%. You may want to investigate … Here is their number: 1-800-297-1234.

Cheers,
The Mint Team

So I did what Mint.com told me to do and called them and had my interest rate lowered. WOW!  I wouldn’t have even known my interest rate had changed, nor would have called.  This is one very very small aspect of the greatness I have seen so far.  Being able to set budgets and categorized everything is just phenomenal.  You have to check it out for yourself.

LastPass.com

LastPass Password Manager, Form Filler – The Last Password You’ll Have To Remember

Everyone knows the pain of forgetting passwords and then having to have them reset and sent to your email (if you can remember which email you used or still have the email account you originally set it up with).  Last pass works with multiple browsers to safely fill your password fields.  I say safely, because anyone can sit down at your computer and open up your browser’s tools and unhide ALL your passwords. Not very secure.  LastPass enables you to login with one master password to start the manager.  You can also install the toolbar on all your computers and they will all keep current off of one password database.  Whether I’m on my desktop, notebook, or netbook, I can create and save passwords that I will have access to.

Digsby.org!

Digsby = IM + Email + Social Networks

Save the best for last? Of course.  Are you currently using any kind of social media? I’ll answer that for you, YES! That’s probably how you ended up here (not here as on earth, but on my blog).  Digsby is AMAZING.  I have all my email accounts, social media networks, and instant messengers setup.  It combines all of them into one easy to use application.  I can get status updates instantly, get notifications of emails, new FaceBook messages, and update my status to all my accounts simultaneously.  Most social networks let you hook up with twitter to sync your status.  This is far better, because you can pick and choose which ones you want to update.  From your windows toolbar you can preview emails, delete them, or mark as spam without even logging in!  Also integrated is FaceBook chat. So when you are talking with someone you don’t have to use the one that pops up on the browser. Plus digsby can log all of your chat history!  I could go on and on and on, but check it out.

So There It Is…

The online tools I use have made life online so much easier.  I hope you’ll enjoy these and find them useful.  Feel free to leave a comment if you are already using them or have tried them and what you think.

I had an email this evening from the company that make the Digsby instant messaging client, inviting me to watch a video extolling the virtues of their creation.

I wonder if the video will mention the crapware they install without asking to use your computer’s processor to do work for them? Yes, you can switch if off via a menu option, and it’s explained in the terms and conditions, which apparently makes it all fine.

So if I put small-print under our front doormat explaining that I’m going to give you a stomach bug if you come in my house, that will be fine too?

I am sure many of you of you know the drill: log onto email [check], log onto Twitter [check], log onto Facebook [check], log onto LinkedIn [check], log onto another social network and another one, etc….. Why hasn’t someone come up with an easier way to manage our social networks and aggregate them into one application.

Wait, not all hope is lost!

Over the past few weeks, I have been seeing many more tools offering social networking aggregation or mash up  services. I think this will be one of the next ‘big things’ that we see in the social media/networking space.

It made sense that sooner or later we were going to require these services and I think it is great that this need has been addressed. With so many social networks that have been created to communicate with each other, it was becoming time consuming and ineffective to log onto each network individually and check to see who is saying what and where.

These SNS (social network services) mash up sites basically aggregate many of your social networks onto one application or web browser. I have had the chance to try a few of these apps and I think we are still at early adoption stage to say that any one application has it right. Some are too slow, some don’t have access to enough networks, some are not available for mac (disgby.com – hope you see this), etc….

Anyway, here are my thoughts on a few of the Social Networking Aggregate site that I have used or seen available:

Orsiso: http://orsiso.com/ - I downloaded Orsiso this week and have started to use it. My first impression is that I like it, it has a nice user interface that allows me to check and see what is happening on my various social networks. It also has a nice feature where you can group your various contacts into 1st Level through to 4th Level contacts – allowing you to keep track of the people you talk to regularly or want to hear from. On the downside – I find that the service is slow, many updates either do not show up on Orsiso or show up much later then when they are actually posted. Out of the 5 SNS Aggregators listed I would say it is my 2nd favorite at the moment.

Google Wave: http://www.google.com/ - I am waiting on a few invitations to come through before I can actually start using Wave – my initial thought from what I have seen is that you can only communicate with other Google Wave users – the tools look great, but it will be a long time before everyone is using wave. Out of the 5 SNS Aggregators listed I have to give it a NA score as I have not actually used this tool yet.

Digsby: http://www.digsby.com - The first thing that comes to mind is frustration! Digsby is not yet available on Mac so when I tried to use it on my home laptop – no luck. Ok the next day I downloaded it onto my work laptop, but because of my firewall protections I can not use it at work. It is too bad, it looks like a good tool, but in this competitive environment, you have to make things easy for people to use – my initial exposure to Digsby has been difficult and I am not sure I will go back unless it becomes easier to use. Out of the 5 SNS Aggregators listed this was my least favorite out of the 5 listed.

Flock.com: http://flock.com/ - This was interesting, Flock is a web browser which integrates your social networking profiles into your web browser. I only had a quick play with it, but didn’t immediately see the value add in it. It was good you could log onto Twitter or Facebook and have that information on a sidebar, but it seemed to defeat the purpose because it opened up a new webpage with every social network you joined. I was thinking if this is the case why can’t I just do this in Chrome or IE or any other Web Browser. Out of the 5 SNS Aggregators listed this was just ahead of Digsby and well below Orsiso.

Tweetdeck: http://tweetdeck.com/ - I have been using Tweetdeck ever since I started using Twitter over 18 months ago. Tweetdeck is getting better as it now has Facebook and Myspace integration. I like how you can create columns to follow the people or keywords you want to and the results come into Tweetdeck in real time without the same delay that happens with Orsiso. Out of the 5 SNS Aggregators listed this is the original one I used and is still my favorite, it is number 1 for me in the list.

If we could take bits and pieces from each of these apps – I think there would be a great all purpose app to use. I think we will see a good app come out that will stand above the rest and become dominant in this space. It will be fun to see who comes up with that app. I think that someone will get it right in the near future and I think it is great because this will certainly make social networking so much easier to manage for many people.

Hi friends,

It was an wonderfull evening and I am leaving from the work, I saw many people’s standing in the railway station. Usually it happens in all railway station I agree.

But here they all are  using some sign langauge instead of speaking in regional langauge.I thought,  is all r making me fool?.It’s not a three r four people more than that from old to small child.

At that time I was sitting opposite of the platform and watching all those signs they used for communicate.Then I got striked with a school for differently abled childs on the way to my office.

I am insterested to learn those signs to communicate with them but how?.In that platform many are parents with their child communicating in the sign langauge.They all are happy and enjoying with friends

Sometimes I will think better to be differently abled person because they are good in atleast one thing.If he was not able to hear r see then he will be good in smell sense.

If you see the history of diferently abled personalities most are great scholars and scientists.

Able scientists are overcoming dis(ablities)!!!

Udah pernah pernah ngerasain chatting facebook messenger pake digsby? kalau belum cobain deh, lebih enak karena tidak perlu repot-repot buka browser. Dan lebih nyaman karena sepertinya tampilan chattingnya lebih luas. Ga perlu panjang lebar buka saja langsung situsnya yang ngebahas chatting di facebook messenger.

Sok atuh mulai disana juga dijelasin cara downloadnya dan cara pemakaiannya

Bueno pues me llegó un mail informándome sobre Digsby (disponible para windows, próximamente Mac y Linux) revisé de que se trata y le encontré una similitud al Adium(sólo para Mac), ambos son sistemas de mensajería instantánea para msn, twitter, facebook, jabber, entre otros.

Lo que veo de diferente (lo que realmente me atrajo, lo admito) es que te permite gestionar tus cuentas de Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo mail, AOL/AIM, IMAP, desde su misma interfaz sin necesidad de abrir el correo (web o usando otro cliente como Mailplane, que es muy bueno por cierto ^^). En lo personal me agrada Adium pero Digsby se ve tentador, espero que pronto esté disponible para Mac para probarlo y darles una opinión más real ^^

Por cierto @palulo me comentó que la versión Adium 1.4 (Beta) ya tiene la integración de twitter, así que a probarla

We all know that Windows has a OS shelf life of roughly 1 – 3 years on a computer before it begins get infested and bloated from day to day things and downloads. It’s got even shorter of a time period if you, let others download crap onto your computer, click on ads, use Internet Explorer, download and use pointless search bars, browse porn/warez sites, install/uninstall many programs, or simply have iTunes.

Because I must have done all those things multiple times a day, every day for 3 years since I installed the OS, my Vista became very slow. So I installed Windows 7. Here’s what I installed with it:

• IE (by default, shrug)
• Firefox Mozilla
• Dropbox
• MediaMall Playon
• Digsby
• uTorrent
• VLC
• Skype
• Gimp
• Paint.net
• OpenOffice
• Picasa
• iTunes (another shrug… got one of them iPod touches)
• VirtualCloneDrive
• Comodo AntiVirus/Firewall/Defender
• 7Zip

Threadsy claims to be the world’s first integrated communication client.  They group all of your Twitter, Facebook, and email messages into one smooth console.  Although kinda buggy, this is something I would actually use.  It’s a nice dashboard that you can login to and manage multiple threads.  Read all about it at:  http://blogs.zdnet.com/weblife/?p=915&tag=nl.e019  and read the posts after the article to learn about competing services, Digsby and Trillian

Let’s go over some of the current messengers out there that are popular. Windows Live, Yahoo!, Digsby, Miranda, Skype, and Xfire.

Usability: Yahoo! wins. The program is very simple and easy to use. It’s very stable, and in my experience, has few bugs. It’s a very logically designed program, and takes very little to run.

Usability (2): Let’s say you are a gamer, and you want to game and instant message or voice chat… use Xfire. It is a gaming messenger, and it does it well. You can even take video and screenshots of your game with it!  I love the ability to message in game with it.

Voice Chat: You’d probably think I’d go with Skype here, but, Xfire wins. Xfire is a gaming messenger, which makes sense why it has great voice features. It makes sure you get high quality calls, if you want them. Skype starts off great, but begins to tapper off.

Design: Skype, hands down. I love how everything can be in one window if you want. It’s great for multitaskers certainly!

Features: Yahoo! Wins here. It has good voice chat, good webcam quality, a streamlined and easy to use photo sharing option, backgrounds for the messaging window called IMvironments, and even games you can play directly from your messenger window head to head with the person you are talking to.

Customization: Miranda wins this one. There are thousands of skins out there, some of which look beautiful. This messenger is practically a swiss army knife.

Networking: Digsby wins here. It can connect you to all your IM accounts, your email accounts, and blog accounts at once. This is a messenger I am keeping my eyes on. The people behind it clearly know what they are doing.

So, we are left with a logical question, which one is the best? I’d say Yahoo!, barely. Windows Live was not mentioned simply because it is a good all around messenger. It’s got imagination, I will give it that. I say Yahoo because it gives you everything you need, with out giving you too much. Digsby simply gives me so many things I don’t use, plus, it is a multi-client messenger. I am not into multi-client messengers, unless they give me the full range of features from the original client. Digsby doesn’t do that, yet. Yahoo! however has some issues. Version 8 through 10 are very similar. They lack imagination currently. Their vista messenger was top of the line, however, they stopped development of it. I can’t fathom why, as this messenger had so much potential. Should Yahoo! trek down this path of development again, I would continue to say it is the best. I highly suggest that you keep your eye on Digsby though. It has a lot of potential.

Hay que darse un relajo a veces OWO

Como dije una vez, iba a publicar en qué me metía regularmente en internet. No sé si lo escribí o lo dije en persona a alguien… eso me preocupa… Estoy perdiendo límites de la realidad y la fantasía o.o Aunque supongo que a todos les ha pasado xD

Por una parte, tengo todo lo del blogroll del costado. Ahí reviso Dosis Diarias y Espoiler casi todos los días, aunque he dejado de lao a Espoiler, pues lo uso principalmente de referente a la hora de decidir por cual serie ver. Aunque eso era antes, ahora tengo mis propias apuestas.

Luego reviso un par de blogs amigos: No.Continue, Rhox, Etereal, Error de Capa 8, Huérfano Producciones, Mudblood y Conquision principalmente. Aunque no actualizan muy seguido xD! Como yo xD

Y de ahí, viene el ocio:

Pantallita del juego xD

Por una parte, me meto en Naturalquimia, un jueguito online del típico tipo de tetris formando tríos de figuritas. La gracia, es que sólo se puede jugar una vez al día. Por ello, lo juego, porque sino me enviciaría y pasaría too el día metido ahí. El juego es bastante simple, pero aún así me gusta, porque tiene ciertas diferencias con el resto de juegos similares que lo hacen ser distinto. Aquí no sirve que hagas ultracombos que desaparezcan miles de figuritas de una, porque aquí el puntaje vale por cada figurita. Y las figuritas no desaparecen, sino que transmutan en otra cuando juntas 3 o más. Por lo que si juntas 6 o 10 o 1000 (ya exageré), te dará 1 figurita que equivale al precio de 3 de sus precedentes. Por esto, uno debe ser estratégico a la hora de juntar figuritas… Aparte, solo puedes jugar 1 vez al día! XD

Aparte de este jueguito, me meto a KadoKado, que son varios minijuegos, pero últimamente me meto menos a esta página. Serán entretes algunos, pero… no sé. Chau con éste xD KadoKado permite 4 juegos por día, y uno gana puntos que sirven para adquirir más minijuegos.

Fuera de los juegos, está Facebook. Lo reviso casi siempre. Esto gracias a Digsby, un programita multiprotocolo de mensajería instantánea, mails, y redes sociales. Otro día les dedicaré un entry.

Y en eso me llevo. Aparte también de jugar un poquito Call of Duty 4, otro poquito SuperSmashBros 64 online (usando Kaillera), y otro poquito DOTA…

Y también está la tesis, que no todo es flojera! XDDDDDD No vayan a pensar mal de mí xD
Saludos!!!

Watching the multiple products and their teams struggle to get an error free demo under their belt at DEMO each year is fun, and so far this year as in many others, there were some technical challenges. You always wish everyone the best in these “pressure cooker in the spotlight” situations. By the afternoon break though, you’ve seen a wide variety of product launches, heard a lot of pitches, from which to pick some favorites.

I’d have to say that my favorites at DEMO09 so far are:

Digsby (@digsby) by dotSyntax out of Rochester, New York allows you to aggregate your instant messaging, email, and multiple social networking feeds all into one desktop experience.  Digsby passed the 1 million-user mark back in July. At DEMO09 today they launched a Twitter feed that promises a simple interface compared to other Twitter clients (like Seesmic, TweetDeck, and PeopleBrowsr), and doesn’t clutter your desktop with multiple columns of information that speeds past you as it’s updated. Digsby also arranges your Twitter stream from oldest first so aperson can “see the conversation as it happens.” Digsby’s concept reminds me of the old Trillian app I used way back when to integrate all my friends on multiple IM accounts into one desktop app. With Twitter integration, the app really shines, except that I was expecting a Mac version too. One is in the works and you can get on the list for the Mac version here.

Emo Labs (@emolabs), out of nearby Waltham, Massachusetts has designed zero footprint speakers based on what they are calling Edge Motion audio technology, that enables the speakers to look essentially like a pane of glass. They can be implemented in a myriad of products including TVs, laptops, monitors, videoconferencing equipment, digital photo frames, and other types of consumer electronics products. No pricing was given and I’m wondering what the cost of an Emo Labs implementation would add to the bill of materials of say a 47″ LCD TV these days. I guess we may find out by the time CES rolls around in January.
