I can’t say that I’ve had a web cam as long as there have been web cams. I have, however, been using them for a very long time. A few months ago, Logitech announced their new QuickCam Vision Pro which is specifically designed for OS X. Many of us were skeptical, since Logitech already had the exact same device for Windows, at a cost of $30 less. What gives? Well, it’s not just that it’s designed only for OS X. The real difference is that all of the settings and tweaks that used to lie in the software in the Windows device now lie in the hardware for the Mac version.

Designed specifically for the Mac, the QuickCam Vision Pro lets you enjoy a video calling experience that far surpasses that of other solutions–either embedded or stand-alone. It features optics by Carl Zeiss, the global leader in camera optics, for image-perfect detail and clarity. Its premium autofocus keeps images razor-sharp, even in the most extreme close-ups. The 2-megapixel sensor will let you enjoy sharper, more lifelike video calling, and RightLight 2 light correction technology adjusts intelligently to produce the best possible image, even in dim or uneven lighting. And the built-in microphone provides clear audio for voice and video conversations.

Key features include:

  • Autofocus and Carl Zeiss optics for razor-sharp images–even in close-ups
  • Native support for Mac OS video applications–no software to install
  • High-definition 2-megapixel sensor for pictures that never looked more real
  • RightLight 2 technology for dramatic improvements in dim or uneven lighting
  • Built-in microphone for crystal-clear conversations during your video calls

I know, I get excited over little things. I can’t help it. I love gadgets, and I love things that just plain work. What web cam are you using, and on which operating system? In all of your history of using web cams, what has been your favorite… and why?

Every week, we give away a Web Cam, courtesy of Ustream. Not only did I give one away this past Friday, I also announced that I will be giving away another computer!

The requirements to be eligible for the giveaways are simple. Here is what you need to do:

  • You must be present in the chat room at the time of the giveaway. We don’t announce it much ahead of time, so you pretty much need to be a regular visitor!
  • You need to be subscribed to my YouTube channel.
  • You had to have left a recent comment on any post in my blog.

That’s it! That’s the sum total of the requirements to be eligible. When a giveaway starts, all chatters in the channel lose chat ability. This is to help us be able to see only the winner talking, so we don’t miss out on their pertinent links. Then, our new automatic bot picker will choose a random name. That person has to give us their YouTube link, as well as the name they used to comment on the blog. We then verify the information… and have a winner!

This week’s winner was Cameron_R. Congratulations!

After the giveaway was over… I decided to tease my next computer giveaway! Here’s the deal:

IF we receive 20,000 subscriptions to our Podcast by Kat’s birthday, which is March 15th… I will give away that Spider Computer system!! You must, of course, be subscribed to the Podcast, and be present to win!

http://live.pirillo.com/ – Thanks to Ustream for allowing us to give away one web cam per week! This week, the drawing was tough.

Thanks to everyone who sent in an .mp3 over the past week! I’ve been looking for new background music to use during the weekly drawing. One of our regulars with the username of Pause sent in the music I’ll be using tonight. Isn’t it cool? I love it!

This week, I chose three names before finally finding our winner! The first three people were not present in the chat room. In order to win, you must be present at the time of the drawing, and you must be subscribed to our YouTube channel. The fourth name chosen was mool212. Mool was present, and he IS subscribed! He sub’d tonight, when he first learned of the drawing. That’s an eligible winner!

Congratulations, mool212! Make sure YOU are all watching next week, and have subscribed to us!
