    $30: Perfect-for-Google-navigation Motorola Droid car dock

What's lame, though totally to be expected, is that it'll cost you $30 for a car kit. And you'd want said car kit in order to make that Google navigation application really fly.

There are lots of packet sniffers out there, with lots of different features and lots of different pricing models. Today we'll look at Colasoft's Capsa network analyzer.

    Hitachi presents biometric-based vending machine

    It's no secret the Japanese have a penchant for vending machines (even though there are - contrary to popular belief - no machines selling panties in this country).

HP, as expected, did not take such claims from a rival lying down. To combat what it called “misleading information,” HP aimed to debunk Kodak’s claims through its own campaign, which it calls “The Truth Behind Printing”.
