Are you feeling blue, or do you have a love for all things blue? Here is an example of something blue which you might want to empty or lighten your pockets for – a blue colored version of the HTC One has just been spotted. Sure, the HTC One has been around for quite some time already, and so too have a blue colored version of the HTC One been spotted before, with a press image of it revealed earlier this month to “confirm” its existence, but I guess you can say that things have gotten even more concrete this time around, where the press image shows off its existence with the front panel of a blue HTC One leaked by Taiwanese source ePrice.

Of course, what you see above will be lacking a display that is connected to it, and there is one very good reason for that – this is a piece that is headed right from the assembly unit itself. While the detailed nitty gritty concerning the blue HTC One as well as its launch remain to be seen, it is interesting to note that no particular carrier branding has been spotted on this blue chassis, and chances are it could make its way towards global markets. If the Smurfs had a smartphone that they would use, then I guess this blue colored HTC One variant would do the trick for them.

Not all headphones are created equal, and gamers will definitely be one of the first few (audiophiles, too) to tell you that. After all, you will need to know where your enemies are at all times, and one of the ways of them giving their position away would be through audio cues – be they footsteps, the firing of a weapon, or perhaps making a jump. Hence, to make sure that you know what you are hearing is correct, then having a good pair of headphones is essential. Not only that, if you want to hear what orders your teammates are barking, this is where the headphones also come in handy. Well, if you are at a loss on what to purchase, perhaps you might want to check out the ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital headphones to adorn the top of your head?

The ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital headphones will continue from where the original ROCCAT Kave 5.1 left off, where it has been improved in many ways after receiving community and customer feedback. For starters, the Kave XTD 5.1 Digital will come with a fully-equipped desktop remote as well as a built-in premium 5.1 sound card. Apart from that, you will also find the ROCCAT Smart Link, which is a patented technology that allows users to pair their smartphone to the remote via Bluetooth, so that one can make as well as receive calls via the headset while gaming.

On the rear side of the remote, you will find 5.1 speaker ports, so that you can opt to hook-up your current speaker system to remote, making it a snap to toggle between headset and speaker output. The remote itself will be completed by comprehensive headset and system audio controls. If you are interested in picking up the ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital gaming headset, it will not be available right away, but you will be able to get it this coming November for $169.99 a pop.

As much as I think the Kinect is a cool device, I have to say I don’t play many Xbox 360 games that use it. However, this interactive concept being shown off in Japan is something I’d definitely want to try.

Developed by the Shirai Lab at the Kanagawa Institute of Technology, Manga Generator lets you strike poses and automatically puts you into the panels of a Manga comic.

You can either jump into a pre-written story or have the Kinect sensor and custom software algorithms determine your body positions and select the appropriate backgrounds and props. When you’re done creating your personal Manga, you can print it out for posterity.

There’s no word on if or when Manga Generator will be released to the public, but one YouTube commenter said it best “BRB GOING TO JAPAN.”
