(InfoWorld) - Sony announced Tuesday at the Ceatec show in Tokyo the addition of Blu-ray Disc to more PCs in its Vaio line. The Vaio Type-R master is an Intel Core 2 Duo-based machine loaded with high-definition editing and authoring software. With the new computers, Blu-ray Disc is now available in four of Sony's Vaio product lines. The systems will be available from Oct. 28 at prices between Â¥230,000 ($1,952) and Â¥550,000 ($4,664)depending on system configuration. A Blu-ray Disc drive will also be offered as a build-to-order option with Sony's Type-L computer. Sony also will launch a pair of Blu-ray Disc video recorders in Japan this December, the company said Tuesday. The machines both feature hard-disk drives for day-to-day recording and a Blu-ray Disc drive for longer term storage. The BDZ-V9 has a 500GB drive and the BDZ-V7 has a 250GB drive. There are two digital tuners in each recorder so that two high-definition programs can be recorded simultaneously. The recorders are designed to appeal to videophiles with demands for high specifications, including Linear PCM audio and 1080p (1,080 lines progressive scanning) output, which is the highest of several image levels judged to be high-definition. The recorders can also be connected to Sony's recently launched high-definition camcorders by a Firewire connection and can playback the AVCHD-format discs used in the cameras. The higher capacity BDZ-V9 will be launched on Dec. 8 and the BDZ-V7 will follow about a week later on Dec. 16. They will cost Â¥300,000 and Â¥250,000 ($2,541 and $2,118) respectively. The machines fill an important gap in Sony's high-definition strategy, which by now has HD-capable products in several parts of the consumer video market including televisions and video camcorders. These will be joined in November by the PlayStation 3 game console and then in December by the two new recorders announced Tuesday. Launching the recorders internationally is possible but nothing has been decided as of yet, Sony said.

Tycho: This thing is pretty huge. I don't mean in terms of kilobytes - I mean it's packed tight with powerful features. Upscaling of content has been in demand, and it's been delivered. Like the 360 Elite, you need to be hooked up via a managed connection (i.e., HDMI) to upscale a DVD. Past that, it will knock up your old PS/PS2 games to 1080p, but the results we've gotten here haven't been supernatural - still appreciated, though.The real flavor is elsewhere: specifically, the ability to stream video, pictures, and music from "a DLNA compliant device," which you'll find just about every computer already is. That's only half of it. The Remote Play option of the PSP (the one that lets you enjoy certain types of content stored on your PS3 via your PSP) is deeply enriched by this capacity. You can do this much already. But with the next update for the Playstation Portable - 3.50, to be released before the end of the month - you'll be able to access your PS3 remotely via any wireless connection. I must say, starting a download at home while I'm still at the office sounds pretty Goddamn good. Also, while we are loving the PSP, am I the only person enthralled by the idea of R-Type Tactics?

(InfoWorld) - A powerful and secure virtual private network solution for businesses with Macs has been announced by Billion Electric. Billion Electric Wednesday announced two fully Mac-compatible SSL VPN Security Appliances with integrated router and firewall functions, the BiGuard S5 and BiGuard S10. The products are all-in-one security gateways with SSL VPN, designed for SMB users seeking secure, cost-effective and clientless remote access to the corporate network. The beauty of the products is their relative low cost in contrast to more expensive solutions for larger enterprises. When set up in the office, the two solutions mean remote users can share and access files from outside of the office just as if they are on the network. Users simply need to launch their web browser andÂ enter their authorisation codes and their office network becomes accessible through a secure tunnel. The built-in security software can even check a user's MAC address, IP address, and hostname to ensure only authorised people can gain access. Billion Electric claims its solutions are easy to set up and manage, saying: "There is no need for dedicated IT personnel." Edward Kung, managing director of Billion in U.K. says: "We've developed our SSL VPN systems to work seamlessly with the Mac OS. Ideal for the significant number of Mac users who work in small businesses, this SSL VPN device is important for their network security." The Billion BiGuard S5 offers an all-in-one security gateway for small businesses seeking secure, cost-effective, and clientless remote access to the business network. It costs just Â£169 ($325), excluding VAT, and supports up to five concurrent SSL VPN sessions. The BiGuard S10 (Â£229 excluding VAT) supports up to 10 concurrent sessions.
