It's no secret that the PS2 may not be Sony's mainstream console by a long shot, but it still accounts for a large chunk of its sales in India. The target demographic for this last-gen console is 8-12 year olds in this country. Now that the kids have ample time owing to summer vacations, Sony has launched the PlayStation 2 EyeToy Bundle. It includes a PS2 console, an EyeToy camera, and the EyeToy: Play 3 game for Rs 6000.

The EyeToy camera is a poor man's Kinect motion sensor that endows the PS2 with rudimentary motion, gesture, and voice control capabilities. This bundle provides a relatively cheap and uncomplicated means of introducing your kid to the world of motion gaming...

Earlier this month Motorola Mobility had successfully sued Microsoft and secured an injunction against the sales of the X360 console in Germany. Now, an International Trade Commission (ITC) judge has ruled against Microsoft and recommended for ban on imports and sales of its console in USA. This applies to the 4 GB and 250 GB versions of the X360 Slim console for employing the H.264 video codec, which has been patented by Motorola.

However, if you think that the ruling will make X360s vanish from store shelves, you're sorely mistaken...

Here's some good news for women and children, or basically anyone else prone to being kidnapped or worse. PNY has launched the Whistle Attaché USB flash drive, and it's Pedobear's worst nightmare. Priced at Rs 425 (4 GB), Rs 700 (8 GB), Rs 1300 (16 GB), and Rs 2500 (32 GB), this storage device doubles up as a whistle. Not only can this USB drive store data, but when you're under duress it can also draw the attention of every cop and Good Samaritan within earshot.

Since whistles are subjected to a worrying amount of saliva, the Whistle Attaché features an all-aluminium construction that's corrosion as well as shock resistant...

Sounds hard to believe, but Epic Games really has been around for 20 years now. It's easier to come to terms with for old-schoolers, who grew up playing Jazz Jackrabbit, One Must Fall 2097, and Jill of the Jungle. That's when Epic used to be Epic MegaGames - way before it went on to make big-budget titles such as Gears of War and Unreal Tournament. On the eve of its 20th birthday, the gaming behemoth is giving away some memorable soundtracks, cherry-picked from its games spanning over two decades.

The compilation includes hard-to-find classics such as the themes from Jazz Jackrabbit and Tyrian to contemporary games such as Gears of War and Bulletstorm...

It may come across as a shock, but your hands harbour more germs than a toilet seat. When healthcare professionals fail to sanitise their hands thoroughly in hospital, it leads to Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) - strains of drug resistant superbugs that have been claimed to kill more patients than breast cancer, HIV and car accidents combined.

Recent studies show that healthcare providers fail to sanitise their hands, 60% of the time. Safe-Hands Hygiene Monitoring System aims to reduce the risk of such infections by employing modern electronic sensors that can monitor doctors' and nurses' hygiene practices.
