Are you running some high powered notebook that seems to burn your family jewels each time you try to make it live out the laptop calling? Well, NZXT empathizes with you by releasing the Cryo S notebook cooler that works with notebooks of up to 15″ in size, removing heat from the fan vents in addition to keeping the entire notebook case’s temperature low overall. It comes with a couple of adjustable 120mm fans for powerful cooling, while the rubber finish will help raise the notebook when in use for heat pockets to be removed. Constructed from a thick, brushed aluminum body, this notebook cooler won’t shortchange your notebook in the looks department even in public, making this $49.99 purchase extremely enticing.

Asus will be offering new motherboards from the P5Q Turbo and M4 Series that boast the DTS Surround Sensation UltraPC feature. Granted, we too haven’t really heard about what DTS Surround Sensation UltraPC is all about so here’s a quick primer.

DTS Surround Sensation UltraPC uses advanced post-processing technology to deliver an incredible surround effect from just two speakers or headphones. The post-processing contains significant psycho-acoustic information that alters human perception, making one believe that sounds are actually occurring outside the boundaries of the two-speaker system or headphones. Developed with a key understanding of acoustics and years of knowledge in dealing with the properties of sound, DTS Surround Sensation UltraPC creates a three-dimensional wall of sound that exceeds the limitations of just two speakers for an optimal surround sound experience. DTS Surround Sensation UltraPC also supplements the weakened stereo image and ambience of digitally compressed audio, while keeping the monaural components (such as solo vocals) unchanged.

Sounds like something worth having in our computers, although for the masses, the current crop of integrated audio system is more than adequate to cater to their aural needs.

Active Media Products (AMP) has come to a licensing agreement with World Wildlife Fund (WWF), where the former will develop and sell a series of portable USB flash drives which will resemble the many endangered species on our earth. Each purchase will see 5% of the retail price of this product line enter the WWF’s coffers so that they can continue in their work. A no-brainer candidate would be the giant panda USB flash drive, although this is diminutive in size at just 2.5″ long. Made of PVC-free non-toxic silicone, this lead- and mercury-free drive will come in 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB capacities, where the most spacious model is tagged with an extremely affordable price point of $25.
