Wie een FireWire-aansluiting heeft of dit overweegt en op het punt staat een webcam aan te schaffen, moet volgens Tom's Hardware Guide zeker eens kijken naar de DV WebCam van FirewireDirect. Volgens dat bedrijf is deze camera in staat een videostream te leveren tot 30 fps in een venster van 640x480. Het apparaat kost minder dan 100 dollar, staat op een 360 graden draaibare sokkel en kan uit de voeten met standaard 1394/FireWire kabels van diverse lengtes.

USB may be convenient since it’s built into just about every motherboard on the planet, but FireWire provides much faster throughput. At 400Mbps, it gives you more than 30 times the bandwidth of USB, making it a no-brainer for things like video capture.

If you are FireWire-ready or are looking at getting that way, you might want to check out FirewireDirect.com’s DV WebCam.

Satellite Internet services are a potential alternative to cable modems and DSL (digital subscriber lines)--the two leading broadband Net access options. Satellite Net technologies offer an easier option for linking rural and hard-to-reach communities when compared with traditional terrestrial networks, such as cable and DSL. However, most industry analysts expect that satellite Net access will remain limited in use.

Roadmaps seen staff at The Inquirer have shown that Intel is indeed determined to keep the pressure on AMD on prices.
