The V20 Notebook Speakers from Logitech offer some of the best sound you’re likely to find at this size and price point, especially in USB-Powered speakers. I am currently using them as a replacement for the desktop speakers on my Mac Pro, the sound is that good. However, I think with a bit more attention to the Mac market in mind when designing the V20’s Logitech would have a runaway hit withe these travel speakers. If all the speaker’s multi-media features were supported on the latest Intel Macs, these would be easier to recommend. Still, their above average sound quality, compact size, nice styling, and lack of the need for an extra power outlet earn them a respectable 7.5 out of 10 rating.
The V20 Notebook Speakers from Logitech
Price: $69.99 ( $51.5 Amazon
Pros: Great sound at this price/weight; portable; nice styling; comes with a case
Cons: Lack of Mac support on the the V20’s multimedia buttons; chord placement could be better for use on Mac portables; case enclosure could be sturdier

Earlier this week, Reuters asked Steve Jobs whether the iTunes store would ever adopt a subscription based approach to music instead of Apple’s current purchase-only model. “Never say never, but customers don’t seem to be interested in it,” Jobs said. “The subscription model has failed so far.”
Quite right. However there is […]
If you are a digital artist who relies heavily on compositing, the decision to buy Fluid Mask is a no brainer. The time-savings it provides will quickly pay for the plug-in after only a few images. For the pro-sumer hobbyist or Photoshop prankster who likes putting people’s heads on other people’s bodies for a laugh, the decision is less clear-cut. However the controls on Fluid Mask are so straight forward that no one should be scared away thinking this tool is only for the pros.
Price: $199 (license can be used on up to 2 machines at a time)
Pros: Creates extremely detailed masks in a matter of minutes, even very complex subjects; easy to navigate interface, great training videos online
Cons: None significant

ZDNet Austrailia’s Munir Kotadia has come across one of the funnier “geek” videos we’ve seen in a long time. Apparently someone who has seen one too many Windows Vista demonstrations showcasing all the “new, never-before-seen” features Vista has introduced to the world, has decided to take Bill Gate’s voiceover from a Vista […]
