I/O Brush : Cool Digital Brush Of Future

I/O Brush is an MIT project which can be used as an drawing tool to explore colors, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by "picking up" and drawing with them. I/O Brush looks like a regular physical paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch sensors embedded inside. Outside of the drawing canvas, the brush can pick up color, texture, and movement of a brushed surface. On the canvas, artists can draw with the special "ink" they just picked up from their immediate environment.

Zone.Net VPS Hosting Review

Zone.Net LogoThis blog was started on a shared-hosting account and then got migrated to a fully-managed Zone.Net VPS hosting and stayed there for a long time, until the needs demanded a switch to a dedicated server 5-6 months ago which Zone was not providing at that time, I enjoyed my stay with ZONE.Net hosting and was willing to do a review about their hosting services since then but never found the leisure to do so, finally here I am doing a review for one of the cheapest and best VPS hosting provider out there.

Zone.Net
business motto is to provide the best technology at a great price to the customer, and they seem to deliver that quiet well, during my stay at Zone hosting I found there VPS hosting to be extremely fast and reliable the company is in the hosting business since 1993 and the experience seems to help them get the very best out of the hardware and provide top-notch VPS hosting at unparalleled price.

Zone.Net VPS Hosting Control Panel

While Zone.Net offers excellent package at great prices, the support system needed a boost at that time as the average ticket response time was 2-3 hours on average (not bad at all but not the best), after reading some hosting reviews I think they have done some hard-work on that but still need to iron out some support issues, The staff is always responding well and resolves issues quite well the owner himself is an active WHT member and can be approached via forum.
