Daft Punk will contribute eleven exclusive tracks that mash up their trademark beats with songs from Queen, Young MC and No Doubt. More from the article:

DJ Hero has meticulously digitally reproduced the robotic onstage alter egos of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, allowing gamers to assume Daft Punk’s identity while playing in a special venue that mirrors the duo’s recent stage show and lighting. “It’s the next best thing to being at a Daft Punk concert,” said Tim Riley, Activision’s VP of Music Affairs.

Um … BADASS! There’s a short list of some of the exclusive mixes after the jump. Sure, the controller’s a bit pricey, but for Daft Punk exclusive remixes I am totally in. Who’s with me?

Logitech has introduced two mice capable of operating on virtually any surface – including clear glass that is at least 4 mm thick. The devices reportedly utilize dark field microscopy to detect tiny particles and micro-scratches on high-gloss surfaces.

“Regular laser tracking technology relies on the ability of the mouse’s sensor to detect the textural details of the surface. The more irregularities a surface exhibits, the easier it is for the sensor to identify reference points that it can use to accurately measure motion,” Logitech explained in a statement. “However, because high-gloss surfaces such as glass are almost completely flat, there are not enough details for a typical laser mouse’s sensor to detect.”

According to Logitech, the Logitech Performance Mouse MX and Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX mice use dark field microscopy to detect tiny particles and micro-scratches on high-gloss surfaces, rather than tracking the surface itself. The mouse sensor “sees” the clean areas of glass as a dark background with bright dots and then interprets the movement of the dots to precisely track where the device has been moved.

I have to admit that I’m pretty cheap when it comes to ink cartridges. With the cost of ink (~$5000/gallon) far exceeding that of gas, who can really blame me? I’ve had bad luck with ink refillers in the past. Many companies don’t check the carts they buy before or after refilling them. They also tend to use lower quality ink to save themselves even more money. I have also had bad luck with local professionals who claim to use high quality ink but either slack on the speed of delivery or don’t really make it worth while by only saving a few bucks vs. OEM carts.

I did find a good company that is concerned with their eco imprint as well as the other things I covered:

123inkjets is a leading provider of discount printer ink and toner for virtually every inkjet or laser printer on the market. We carry a full line of printer inkjet cartridges, inkjet refill kits, laser toner, fax toner and countless other printer supplies that allow you to save money, without sacrificing quality

The great thing about them is that they’re fast and cheap, and I found (after I paid full price) this coupon that you can use to save 15% on carts or 10% on all of their other products:

I think they offer free shipping on orders of a certain amount too, so its really a good deal on high quality refills. All in all, its best to have someone else get their hands dirty with the messy process of refilling ink cartridges. Anyone who’s attempted it themselves knows just how messy it can get.
