Think you've got what it takes to be a good director but need to find a platform for that amazingly innovative video of yours? Then Youtube's newly-launched Screening Room would be a good place to start.

Handsfree power for smarty ants
Australian-based company BlueAnt has come up with the world's first and only Putonghua voice-recognition bluetooth headset for Asian busy bees.

Dial P for Porsche phones
Those looking for a luxurious Christmas gift will be delighted to know that the latest Porsche Design mobile phone will be available around that time.

Kitchen confidential
If cool, nocturnal and sinister are what you're looking for in kitchen cabinetry, then the suite of modular units and appliances in the Porsche Design Kitchen P'7340 built by Poggenpohl is your ticket: islands and wall-mounted cabinets, high-tech Miele appliances and black chrome Dornbracht fixtures, all framed in brushed aluminum.

Handicapped may walk in robot suit
A robotic suit that reads brain signals and helps people with mobility problems will be available to rent in Japan for US$2,200 (HK$17,000) a month - an invention that may have far-reaching benefits for the handicapped and elderly.

Now playing
Optical discs that help record and play back high-definition video and store massive amounts of data have not been selling as fast as iPods, or pirated CDs in Mong Kok, but we could watch Blu- ray movies on our desktops - provided we have machines built for the purpose.

As the holiday sales season draws near, gaming devices maker Nintendo of Japan unveiled a slimmer DS handheld game player with a bigger display, as well as a digital camera and music playing capabilities. It has added an SD card slot to help with music downloads and playback.

Thin on functions, heavy on appeal
For the price of a new mobile phone, you could have a simple, lightweight laptop no bigger than a book, and which allows you to surf the Web wirelessly as you sip an espresso in a coffee shop. No wonder the netbook (a relatively new breed) is creating a buzz among computer users and the industry.

Take on Tiger
We wonder what Tiger Woods would do with this game having deserted the PGA Tour (and many fans are no longer watching golf on the TV channels, too) as he recuperates from knee surgery.

Write move
In the cellular handset landscape in this region, Motorola has become a shade of its of past - without much to show since the Razr, which it brought to market about four years ago. It is almost an embarrassment to have a Motorola in your pocket, especially in cities such as Seoul and to some extent, Hong Kong and China.
