Looking for a novel way to use your Toshiba of a rainy afternoon? Well, we’re pretty convinced that msJeanJOiNSwoot has found a cracking idea. Aspiring guitarist and novice video editor extraordinaire, she has entered a competition with a company called guitarrig, and recorded one of her songs – and crafted a real rather super video for it.

OK, so we’re not sure about the monotone robot on vocals – but the guitar-work is spot-on and the visuals she has created with her Guitar Rig 3 software on Toshiba laptop Intel dual core with Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 operating system are simply great.

An inspiring piece of creativity for a damp Wednesday afternoon…. Cracking stuff msJeanJOiNSwoot! Have you done better? Do let us know…

We Got Served, the windows home server site, has kindly offered its “WGS prize for the coolest thing seen at IFA today” award to *fanfare please* the new Toshiba Qosmio G50 laptop.

Despite his admission that you “wouldn’t want to take one out on a date”, and his usual dismissal of desktop replacement laptops, Terry is nonetheless head-over-heels with admiration for this computer. Most notable to him is the Gesture Control technology “which allows you to control the computer (including Media Center) simply by waving your fist in the air – the gestures you make are picked up by the G50’s integrated webcam.”

He continues “You may never use it in anger if you own one of these laptops, but it scores big on the show-off scale.” Too true – what better way to impress the neighbors than flicking on an episode of Family Guy with nothing more than a flick of the thumb? A warning though: “That said, if you are using one, be careful not to get angry in front of the TV - who knows the fist-shaking carnage you could cause!” Good point Terry!
