If you have ever had problems with taking notes, there is a new device that can aid your frustrations. Some people have trouble shortening what they hear into note form, some people have teachers who talk too fast, and some people have teachers who are just too boring to listen to. The Pulse, a new smart pen out on the market is the ultimate pen with ears and a brain. For a costly price of $150-$199, you can write and record simultaneously. This allows the reader to jot down brief notes, but also capture the entirety of what was said at a certain moment of time. Combining the four main levels of human communication: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, it allows for audio/visual input and output. It has a mobile USB charging cradle to store information and the paper used is called Paper Replay. This dotted paper allows you to record and re-record notes and messages.

The question remains unanswered on exactly what will be the best way to do this.

Although HD put up an admirable struggle, it seems like the final nail in HD DVDs coffin may have been driven earlier this week as New Line Cinemas went exclusively to Blu Ray formatted disks. With Paramount's exclusivity contract expiring and even Universal looking over the fence, Blu Ray's sales dominance will only increase. Adding a little more fervency to the whispers of defeat was HD DVD's absence from CES 2008, with nothing but a little backpack embroidery to count for attendance. There are already a few HD DVD player price drops online to try and win a little support, but the increasing sales of the Sony PS3 and the aforementioned developments seem to make that move almost futile.
