OoVoo - The Next Candidate
Blog That means they don't try to dictate camera manufacturers or capabilities to you; if you have a crummy webcam, you'll get a crummy picture, but at least you'll get something. If you have a really good webcam, well, you'll get a decent picture, but...

Philips SPC1300NC Webcam
Blog I recently purchased a Philips SPC1300NC webcam, and I don't think that I could be any more pleased with it. Unlike the "clip" style that is found on the Logitech notebook webcam series, this clamp works easily, and is very stable, even with very...

More Pleasant Surprises With Ubuntu
Blog I plugged in my Philips SPC1300NC webcam, and although it is recognized and identified correctly, it doesn't seem to work. It will be interesting to see how it handles the Core2 Duo CPU, the Intel Wireless-N networking, and the built-in Logitech...

Logitech Webcams
Blog First, it is important for webcam users to understand that over the years, Logitech has several times released "updated" versions of some cameras which actually have entirely new (different) insides, but look exactly the same and have exactly the...

The Gizmo Project
Blog Of course, with no webcam setup to worry about in this version, it is even a bit easier than the other programs I have looked at so far. If you select audio devices that are different from the "Windows Default" devices, as I do (I always put VoIP...

Skype Roundup
Blog Comment @jahap - I'm glad to hear that Skype works for you, and lets you see your daughter on webcam 1000 miles away. I can't write any lines at all about what I think works well on Skype, because I don't think anything at all does.

Great New OoVoo Release!
Blog You can now have 640x480 resolution, if your webcam is capable of that. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the built-in webcam in my Fujitsu Lifebook S6510 will do this resolution, and it looks very nice.

New Logitech QuickCam Software Release (11.8)
Blog If you can't get 11.8 from their FTP server, and it isn't offered to you by the webcam software download procedure, how are you supposed to get it? Choose "Product Type" webcam, and then for "Prodcut Name" choose one of the newest webcams (the Pro...

Windows Vista - Here I Go Again!
Blog Comment Ah, now, I just tried to run Skype on my VIsta laptop and it didn't want to know about the webcam. I have a job in mind that will need to be fine on Linux, OS X, XP and Vista, but really don't want the fun of being the support guy for all of them...

Windows Driver Updates

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10

Blog Fujitsu Lifebook S6510: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, Vista SP1, and a built-in Logitech webcam, Realtek audio and integrated speakers and microphone, it was ready and up to the task. I don't know if that is because Swisscom isn't doing HSUPA yet, or if...

Transparent Fingers Of Fun
Blog It's very prototypy - the sensor that works out where your fingers are is a webcam that's mounted on a big stick bolted to the PDA - but that's OK. And if they don't? Neat idea: make PDAs transparent so you can put the touch screen on the back side...

I Love My TR1
Member Review You don t need to buy anything more, since it comes with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, webcam and so on. The best laptop ever! I mean, did you ever see so many things in so small a machine? It doesn t come with DVD-RW, but most of us probably have a desktop...
