That Boeing 787 Dreamliner that caught fire in London on Friday? Investigators are reportedly looking into the "emergency locator transmitter" as the possible source. This is important because it could mean the fire didn’t come from the battery system, which was the issue the last time a Dreamliner caught fire.

HP EliteDisplay E271i 27-inch LED Backlit Monitor spins for your unique neck

This week the folks at HP have introduced a relatively large new IPS LED backlit display aimed at taking on “extra-wide” viewing angles in several different computing environments. This monitor is designed first and foremost for a “business class” experience, but will meet most gamers everyday average high-resolution needs with a pixel count of 1920 x 1080. This display aims to bring on a tilt of -5 to 30 degree ups and downs and sits on a 360 degree swivel as well.

Viewing angles both horizontal and vertical with this monitor both ring in at 178 degrees, while the brightness of the display itself is a cool 250 cd/m2. On the back you’ve got VGA, DVI, and DisplayPort inputs as well an integrated USB hub. At a pixel pitch of 0.311 mm and working with a collection of tilt, swivel, and odd adjustment abilities, this 27-inch monitor also meets TCO Certified Edge requirements for environmental and ergonomic stand design.

The EliteDisplay E271i will join HP’s set of monitors aimed at SMB and enterprise customers while machines like the HP Slate 21 All-in-one revealed earlier this year proves the company isn’t about to be pigeon-holed as either a monitor or desktop PC-maker.

The company also recently revealed additions to their device lineup with the HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook as well as the HP Spectre XT TouchSmart Notebook, each of them aimed at completely different audiences. The SMB market continued to be pushed by HP, on the other hand, with the HP ProBook 400 and 200 series, each of them made to be thin and light, start to finish.

Samsung announces Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor and Series 7 SC750 Monitor

Many of us do use computers in our line of work for many hours each day, and apart from having an efficient machine that does our digital bidding in the most practical manner, the monitor, too, plays a big role in ensuring that our eyes do not end up too tired along the way for us to do anything else. Samsung has a couple of new consumer monitors, namely the Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor as well as the Series 7 SC750 monitor, where the former would happen to be Samsung’s first consumer multi-touch display; while the latter boasts of an ergonomic rotating display.

The Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor comes with a special touch control that paves the way for 10 points of simultaneous input, making it ideal for dragging, rotating and selecting objects on the monitor, all the while offering a smooth and intuitive touchscreen interaction. This means you do not need to have any additional controllers, and I can testify to the fact that once you have gotten used to a touchscreen monitor in a Windows 8 environment, you would find it strange when you use a computer terminal without a touchscreen as you would inadvertently touch the monitor and wonder why it does not work. Just remember to lay off the pizza and other kinds of oily food along the way if you want to continue working from the existing terminal with the Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor in tow.

The SC770 also delivers an enriched computing experience, as it can hook up to a mobile device via USB, while Samsung’s Sliding-Tilt function with hinge technology would enable the SC770 to smoothly and conveniently adjust to a 55-degree tilt. This is a 24” Full HD display that sports a narrow bezel with ultra slim depth, accompanied by a clean back and a premium metallic stand, and will retail for $599.99 a pop.

As for the Series 7 SC750 monitor, this puppy will arrive in a slim, ergonomic design which is capable of a 90-degree pivot, while the rotating screen has been optimized for surfing the web, consuming social media content and viewing documents – regardless of whether you choose to do so in landscape or portrait modes. You can pick up the Series 7 SC750 in 24” and 27” models for $249 and $379, respectively.

Picture a vintage camera lens bracelet on your wrist

It's a different kind of fashion photography.

(Credit: SDPNT)

The most famous piece of photography fashion is probably still the multi-pocketed vest favored by many gear-carrying camera enthusiasts. If you want something a little less utilitarian and a whole lot more fashionable, then look to the vintage camera lens bracelets from SDPNT.

The bracelets range in price from $225 to $290. They are crafted from actual vintage lenses, giving each one a unique look and feel. SDPNT advises, “These bracelets are made from used, and sometimes very old lenses. It is likely that there are minor blemishes from use.” This is wearable tech gone way retro.

Different lenses result in distinctive looking bracelets. A telephoto lens creates a pretty chunky bangle. A bracelet crafted from a zoom ring has a textured grip with a metal band. It’s an interesting exercise to explore the different fonts and colors on the various cuffs.

Is This the Perfect-Sized Mini Tripod We’ve Been Waiting For?

Is This the Perfect-Sized Mini Tripod We’ve Been Waiting For?

The problem with most compact tripods is that while highly portable, they’re really only useful for supporting lighter cameras like point-and-shoots or smartphones. But most people who’d actually need and use a tripod are probably shooting with heavier DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. So Manfrotto created the Pixi: a decent compromise between a full-sized tripod and a compact set of sticks that doesn’t sacrifice usefulness for size.
