aMillionJobsToDo is a unique concept where you can suggest literally any task that you need completing and also propose how much you would like to pay for that service.

In this day and age most people already have a million and one things to do. Some of us create mental or written to do lists, which we constantly strive to complete. Even the most organised of people tend to be left with those stubborn little, unachievable tasks, that inevitably get carried over to a new list. aMillionJobsToDo allows you to pass those jobs over for completion, for a small fee.

While NVIDIA’s Ion has been getting all of the attention of late, VIA’s been doing this 1080p thing for quite some time. We actually heard earlier this year that the company’s EPIA-P710 Pico-ITXe board was capable of playing back glorious 1080p video clips, but now we’ve got video proof that the unit’s successor truly can. According to VIA, this mobo is the first from it to come with the VX855 Media System Processor onboard, which is obviously the secret sauce involved in delivering the high-res graphics. Head on past the break for a peek at the demo, and good luck resisting the urge to build a new SFF HTPC over the weekend.

We’ll admit — compared to the ketchup-colored K-x, these two just seem lackluster. And, perhaps they are. But there’s still some merit to Pentax introducing a new pair of point-and-shoots, with both the M85 and E85 sporting 12 megapixel CCD sensors and relatively slim bodies. The former can also shoot 720p video and features a 3-inch touchscreen, shake reduction and face detection, while the lower end E85 gets saddled with a 2.7-inch LCD, a VGA movie mode and an awkward feeling of incompetence. Both should be available in Euroland next month for €179 ($263) and €129 ($186), respectively.

So you are trying to make Windows XP look like Vista? If you have been reading my previous posts then you might have your XP machine almost looking like Vista. One thing that you probably need is the Vista mouse cursors. Gurudesign.no has posted a package for the cursors that you can download. Here are the steps that you need to take to install the cursors:

1. Download the cursor package.
2. Extract the downloaded file.
3. Right click the “Install.inf” file and click on “Install”.
4. Goto the Control Panel and select “Mouse”.
5. Click on the Pointers tab and choose the cursor: “Aero Cursors (Alphablended)”.
6. You’re done!

I do have to say that these cursors are much better than the ones that are standard in Windows XP. The animation looks very smooth and gets rid of the outdated hourglass.

By definition, the Qi Smartbook U1000 isn’t a smartbook. It’s more like a touchscreen MID, but we’ll let the semantics slide (just this once). Based on a 624MHz CPU, Windows Mobile 6.1 and a 5-inch touch panel (800 x 480), this Chinese device is also equipped with WiFi and a mysterious camera ’round back. Sadly, that’s about all we know, but those who find themselves in Shenzhen should definitely check it out. Just be wary of those KIRFs — we hear they’re kind of prevalent over there.
