Now Open: Microsoft Store Online, features downloadable software

Microsoft launched the Microsoft Store today which gives consumers the chance to get there hands on software and hardware online instead of a retailer.  You can download or have software shipped to you.  This is a first, as Microsoft has never offered downloads of any Microsoft OS before.  There’s no price difference, so whether you opt for a digital download of the Microsoft Office or have it shipped to you in a box with all the packaging, you’re going to pay the same.

You’ll see the XBOX 360 and peripherals for your PC on there as well, which is no surprise.

HandshoeMouse: The only mouse that fits like a glove

We honestly don’t know what to make of this mouse yet, but we thought we’d get your opinion on it instead.  The HandshoeMouse comes in three different sizes and the makers say that it’s “the only mouse that fits like a glove.”  Does it really?  Well it takes alot of work away from our fingers and wrist and puts the gliding effort on our arms, giving us effortless usability.

The Handshoe is available in black, white, and high tech transparent.  The HandshoeMouse is available now for 120 EUR with a wireless version expected to be available at the end of the year.

Sony shows off concept flexible TV screen: Foldable computers next?

Sony, along with Max Planck Institute of Germany have unveiled a flexible television screen that could spawn a new different world of consumer electronics.  Imagine being able to fold a computer and putting it in your pocket.  You got a 52-inch HD but not enough room in your living room for a Super Bowl party?  How about you fold it and take it to your friend’s place.

The design they unveiled could b used for anything from TVs and computers to posters.  The concept demo was unveiled by researchers from Sony and the Max Planck Institute in Germany who believe “Rigid television screens, bulky laptops and still image posters are to be a thing of the past”.

Billboards and marketing schemes on cereal boxes could be drastically enhanced as well, providing us with talking boxes or moving objects on billboards, as if we’re watching Minority Report.

The screen is flexible and transparent and its energy requirements are much lower than what we’re used to.  You don’t even need a backlight, response times can be up to 10 times faster than LCDs.

This is just a concept right now, but it’s a vast improvement from the garbage Sony unveiled back in 2006.  That model didn’t go into product because of the endless list of flaws, but this version might actually end up on store shelves before we even know it.

Thanks Telegraph!

Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, DreamWeaver, Flash, Premier and the rest of the line have all gotten beefed up and we can’t wait to get our hands on it.

Buy It: Adobe

Price: CS4 Master Collection $2,499 (Upgrade for $899)
