IBM apparently showed off a prototype of a Cell based blade server to some folks at E3 last week.

Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Deluxe Webcam
Futurelooks.com reviews the Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Deluxe Webcam - a small portable webcam designed specifically for notebooks. I actually owned one of the earlier models and they’re quite good for what they offer in terms of size vs. performance. Here’s the verdict:
After using it extensively for over a week, I found that I grew to liking the features of the Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Deluxe Web camera. The overall function that I wanted was to have a smooth flow of video images going to the recipient of the video conference. The webcam did a good job with it and those viewing me were happy. That is the reason why we buy a webcam: For the recipient to be happy with what they see.
Yep.. a good buy.
