ASRock’s new Haswell motherboards will be waterproof, of course

ASRock's new Haswell motherboards will be waterproof

If your current motherboard has more Mountain Dew than CPU, you might be interested in ASRock‘s forthcoming Haswell offerings. Among the usual features like dual-band 802.11ac-flavored WiFi, HDMI input and a Home Cloud service, Tom’s Hardware spotted a mention of “Waterproof by Conformal Coating.” The company’s sub-site doesn’t give too much else away, like how extensive the protection will be, instead simply telling us to “A-Style our lifestyle.” The only feature with any amount of detail is a Pure Sound audio system (7.1 channel audio, Realtek ALC1150 audio codec and a TI 5532 pre-amp if you’re interested) that we’ve already seen. Still, if fluid has been getting between you and your high scores, keep an eye on the source for more info.

The ECOXBT Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker Will Float Your Boat

Screen Shot 2012-10-10 at 11.56.18 AM

Bluetooth transportable speakers come in numerous styles and sizes, and some are simply fantastic. However when audiophiles go aquatic, choices become a lot more restricted.

Enter the ECOXBT waterproof presenter. It ’ ll take you from the pool to the lake to the beach and back again with no difficulty at all.

It drifts speakers to the area of the water, and just in case I wasn ’ t clear before, it ’ s totally waterproof.

The speaker has common audio input through a 3.5 mm jack, along with Bluetooth, though the business didn ’ t point out the assortment. It shouldn ’ t be a problem drifting by a boat or a dock, but brave ocean explorers could have problems if they venture far from shore.

Of course, this can be resolved with a LifeProof iPhone situation.

The ECOXBT has battery life for 10 hours of playback time, and has controls on top for power, pairing, and volume. As an included incentive, a water-resistant mic is integrated into the speaker, for which there is also an “ answer/end ” button.

The launch date is rather doubtful, looking at that summertime is over. Choose one of these up for $ 129 right here.

Meet The Nuud: LifeProof’s New Waterproof Ultra-Rugged iPad Case

main

LifeProof has actually made a name for itself as a maker of super rugged iPhone circumstances that you can easily absorb the ocean, to the beach, or also to the top of Mt. Everest. This thing can survive in some unexpected environments. But today, the business has finally responded to the call for a LifeProof iPad instance, the Nuud. The situation vacuums against the glass panel on the iPad so that there ’ s no front screen protector, permitting the same tactile interaction we ’ ve all grown so fond of on Apple ’ tablet.

But that ’ s not to state it loses any of its ruggedness– all the exact same specs migrate over from the iPhone situation, consisting of Military Grade shock and influence protection, water proof up to 6.6 feet, and resistance against all the elements. Plus, you can easily plug in your headphones making use of the O-ring sealed headphone adapter, letting you take waterproofed headphones into the pool or shower. (FYI, I might adore to take care of the day ’ s obligatory call in the shower.)

The iPad circumstances includes four small inserts on each corner to let you attach straps and carry it as a brief case, alone with plug-in covers that vacuum cleaner seal simply as tight as the circumstances itself. The camera cover is made of the same sort of glass that you would discover in a Nikon or Canon DSLR camera, anti-reflective on both sides.

The sheer toughness of the iPhone case situation along with its use has let people do some crazy things with their iPhones– things that would certainly make any sort of iPhone addict cringe at the simple idea of them– however simply have a look (if you dare).

It ’ ll be fascinating to see precisely how people use the Nuud, however my ante is that the iPad will certainly begin appearing in the bathtub, the pool and the cooking area much more.

There ’ s still no rates out for the Nuud iPad situation, however it must be offered on outlet shelves and online in July.

Video Review: Can The Dry Case Waterproof Backpack Withstand A Dip In A Pool?

jump

First of all, let me say that the Dry Case Waterproof Backpack is designed for use in outdoor environments with the main goal of keeping things in the inner compartment dry. Clearly, all the marketing pictures at DryCase.com, show people using the bag in wet, outdoorsy places (on a canoe, on a boat, etc), and with that in mind the biggest question is “does it actually work?” I put it through the ringer. Here are the results:

In short, it performs quite well.  It survived my rigorous, jackass-eque tests and it pretty much passed with flying colors because nothing inside got wet.

Some moisture (forgive me for calling it condensation in the video) did collect behind the shoulder strap shield but never permeated the actual inside of the bag. This makes me wonder if mildew could be a long-term possibility if not promptly and properly dried out. Other than that this bag is the real deal!

But can you use it for everyday office life and travel too? This is  a pretty serious backpack and that’s just the thing…it may be a little too serious for office life. Whether or not you want to tote your daily gear in this bag around the city or through airports will depend on who you are, where you live and what your needs are.

When I am evaluating a backpack for office life/travel,  I’m always torn between wanting things that can sometimes be mutually exclusive. I want total protection but I also want flexibility. I want style but I also want comfort.

For example, do I really want to head out for a sportcoat-clad commute wearing a bag that would look more at home being worn while wading through a stream at the base of Grand Teton? At the same time, when I’m traveling and standing in the rain trying to hail a cab and the water pouring off  my floundering umbrella is landing directly on my bag, I want everything inside to stay dry. A first world problem to have indeed.

Protection versus flexibility. Style versus comfort. The Dry Case Waterproof Backpack is almost the great bridge between these bifurcate needs. Almost, but not quite. Ultimately though, it works well, so tradeoffs just have to be balanced against preference.

Extra Air

As noted, the bag seals up tightly to be waterproof. You roll the lengthy top down and snap it together with on-board latches. In doing so, additional air is captured inside and this can lead to a “puffy” pack (which could actually come in handy if you drop your pack off the side of a boat). However in a day-to-day scenario, excess air in the pack could look silly.

To alleviate this issue, the Dry Case Waterproof Backpack has a smart little air valve at the bottom that lets you squeegee out any captured air, once you have the pack all sealed up. In this way, you can really get the pack down to a slim profile…almost like a vacuum seal. An interesting concept.

Style

Despite its definite outdoorsy stylings, I actually like how the bag looks. It’s fairly sporty and, as noted, can have a slim profile. The two-tone black and blue is pleasant enough. The shoulder straps are hearty and comfortable. There is also a belt strap which would be a bonus for walking distances.

Missing Compartments And Padding

Most notably, there is no laptop sleeve inside, nor are there additional inner compartments for cables etc — it’s just one big space inside (30 liters-worth according to the website). Probably more suited for filling with a bunch of clothes instead of cables and whatnot. Before I figured out the air valve trick, I noticed that my laptop was bouncing around inside a bit because of the lack of sleeve.

However, once I took all the air out I could essentially, vucuum-seal my laptop in place. Additionally, there is not any padding along the bottom. You’ll want to make sure you set it down gently if you are toting fragile items inside. Maybe just put a shirt of something soft across the bottom if you are prone to dropping your bag.

It’s Getting Hot In Here

Another thing to note is that this is a vinyl bag. While I didn’t experience it myself yet, I imagine it could get a little hot on your back if carried over a longer walk or bike ride. This is fine when camping or windsurfing, but might be uncomfortable showing up for a presentation with your back drenched in sweat.

Travel Time

The bag also doesn’t have a quick access sleeve for laptops. Indeed, this would negate the entire intention of the waterproofing scheme. The only reason I bring this up is because if you are traveling through airports, you would have to unravel the waterproof top to get your laptop out. It could take a bit longer than a backpack with quicker access compartments. Just something to consider.

Let’s review.

Pros

  • Keeps stuff completely dry
  • Sturdy
  • Decent outdoorsy looking style
  • Interesting air valve system.
Cons
  • No laptop sleeve or other containment inside…just a single open space
  • Vinyl — could be a sweaty carry
  • No padding
  • Could take a bit longer at an airport

The Bottom Line

Does the the bag smell like a new radial tire? Yes, a little. Will it keep the stuff inside dry? Totally. Is the bag great for camping? Absolutely. Can you use it for daily office life too? Yes, with a few concessions. I myself would use this for a daily pack because the waterproofing capability outweighs the other issues for me and I like how it looks. At $ 79.99, it’s on par with — or cheaper actually — than a lot of different bags out there.

Nokia won’t be making its Lumia phones waterproof anytime soon

Gallery Photo: Nokia Lumia 610 hands-on photos

A number of reports out of the UK late last week suggested that Nokia plans to apply its superhydrophobic coating to upcoming Lumia and / or PureView devices, however we have spoken with the company and that is not the case. Conor Pierce, Nokia’s VP for Western Europe, conducted a presentation on Thursday talking up Nokia’s research heritage — including mention of the company’s development of a waterproof coating for its devices, similar in effect to the stuff you’ll find on the Droid RAZR or Panasonic’s Eluga — while also introducing the budget-conscious Lumia 610 to the assembled journalists.

Somewhere along the way, the two topics have grown conflated, which Nokia has clarified was not Conor’s intent: “he did not say that…
