Let’s take a look at Windows Vista and Office 2007 packaging. Microsoft today reveals the packaging for the upcoming products. The packaging has been completely revised, going with a rounded design reminiscent of a 1950s toaster. Designed to be user-friendly, the new packaging is a small, hard, plastic container that’s designed to protect the software inside for life-long use. It also provides a convenient and attractive place for you to permanently store both discs and documentation. Check out the photos below.

Huzzk has a collection of truly unique laptop cases for the Macbook and 15.4 inch Macbook Pro. These Macbook cases are available in several colors with a funky “waves” or “spotz” design, while the Macbook Pro cases are available with a “Hana” or a “GT” design. Huzzk is made out of a special rubberized outer layer which is water resistant and soft neoprene material on the inside for maximum protection. They don’t seem to be available to purchase yet, nor is there any pricing information available yet, but we hope they come out soon because they seem to be both practical and fun.

Some of you might know these 2D barcodes named QR that you can almost see it everywhere. You know, they’re those weird little square graphics that are made up of what appears to be random patterns of smaller squares. Elecom now has a USB mouse for PC that is capable of reading standard QRs and Color QRs. However, there is no word on pricing or availability yet.

This new technology uses metamaterial, a complex hybrid structure of metal and insulator which makes light move around an object like air flowing over an airplane wing to make objects “disappearâ€. Military stealth, a B-2 bomber, isn’t truly invisible to radar. It just absorbs and redirects the radar waves, making the plane much harder to spot (its radar signature is the size of a pigeon rather than an aircraft). Using this technology, a bomber, tank or building would literally disappear from radar screens. Watch the video for more details.

I have no reason to listen the music at 6 feet under the water. But using this waterproof DAP case, you can listen to your DAP or iPod in the kitchen, under the shower, or at the beach, without risking to splash it. It outputs 2×800mW and has 30 hours of battery life. I love their colors! But unfortunately, there is no word on pricing or availability yet.
