ROCCAT Savu hybrid mouse ready to assault PC gamers' senses for $60

If ever there were a prime candidate for Pimp my Mouse, ROCCAT's Savu would be it. The R.A.D. peripheral (no, really, that's the acronym) incorporates a category-first: an achievements application that rewards players for "a wide range of gaming feats, such as mouse movement, button clicks, scroll steps, etc." The tricked-out mouse also features an adjustable 4000 DPI optical sensor and Easy-Shift+ tech to let gamers program up to two dedicated functions per button. But, wait, there's more superfluousness to endure.

Thermaltake releases its Water 2.0 All-in-one LCS Series

In the growing trend of all-in-one liquid cooling systems, such as the Corsair H80 or Antec Kühler Hâ‚‚O 620, end-users are looking for the “easy” route to a liquid cooling setup and the cooling benefit a LCS can offer. To join the trend, Thermaltake has introduced its own all-in-one LCS series called Water 2.0. The series comes with a standard full copper base plate for better heat conductivity. It includes a powerful pump, within the waterblock, for rapid water circulation.

Sony applies for wireless power patent, wants to daisy-chain your energy

As much as we're familiar with wireless power, we know developing a truly contact-free form of charging has a whole raft of extra challenges, such as getting into the sweet spot for power delivery and the potential traffic jam caused by throwing another device into the mix. Sony thinks it has these problems licked through a newly-published patent application. Its method uses location-finding to steer users until they're close enough for the wireless power source to reliably do its job. In some cases, it can use one mobile device to relay power to another, keeping everything fed even if the main power hub is tied up.

Google Maps adds always-available home and work locations for the navigation-needy

An update to the web version of Maps now lets you define specific home and work locations that will stay attached to your Google account, no matter how much PC-hopping you do. Along with just speeding up day-to-day direction searches, the locations are particularly handy if you're staying in a foreign country and don't yet have the neighborhood committed to heart.
