The Google TV platform was supposed to revolutionize how we consume content in our living rooms, and the Logitech Revue was supposed to help with that ambitious goal. So why hasn't it?

For starters, major television studios decided to play hardball with Google TV by blocking the platform from accessing content. Google's still trying to figure out how to deal with that situation, but in the meantime, early reviews of Logitech's Revue have been anything but glowing (you can read our own evaluation here).

If that weren't enough, DigiTimes recently reported that Logitech decided to halt production of its Revue at the request of Google, which wants to kick out a software update before any more units are shipped off to stores. Not so fast, says Logitech.

"Logitech has not been asked by Google to suspend production of its Google TV products," Logitech wrote in an email to The Wall Street Journal. "As those familiar with the products know, it is not necessary for Logitech to make changes to the Logitech Revue with Google TV companion box to accommodate future enhancements to Google TV."

Logitech was careful, however, not to say whether it has halted production on its own or if it still plans to ship out more units.

"Logitech does not discuss the specific production plans for any of its products," the company stated.

Logitech went and commissioned a self-serving study on the "significant sacrifices" laptop users make in exchange for mobility, and while Logitech obviously has a vested interest here, the results are nonetheless interesting.

According to Wakefield Research, which carried out the study for Logitech, heat is a hot topic in the mobile crowd. Of those surveyed (594 Americans aged 18 and older who own or regularly use a laptop), nearly half said they've had to stop using their notebook because the heat buildup became too much to handle. And nearly a two-thirds -- 62 percent -- believe they could literally fry an egg on the bottom of their laptops.

"Our lineup of lapdesks can help alleviate the issues people experience with laptop heat," said Denis Pavillard, vice president of product marketing for laptop accessories. "Options such as our Logitech Portable Lapdesk N315 are slim enough to take along in a laptop bag, and others such as our Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700 or the Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N550, can shield users from heat and deliver rich, full stereo sound too."

Self serving as it may be, Logitech's commissioned study isn't the only one on the topic of laptop heat. A recently published article in the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics said that chronic exposure to heat on the underside of laptops can lead to "erythema ab igne," otherwise known as 'toasted skin syndrome,' an unsightly rash resulting from prolonged contact to any significant heat source.

If you're a family man, live with a roommate, or have neighbors hanging out on the other side of thin walls, then a good headset isn't just a luxury, it's a necessity. And if you're console gamer, Logitech is looking at you.

The company just released its new Wireless Headset F540. The F540 lets you connect up to three audio devices, including both your PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles, and comes with voice chat to boot.

"We set out to build a great wireless headset for people who like to play at night, but need to keep it quiet so they don’t disturb anyone trying to sleep," said Elliott Chin, Logitech’s senior manager of product marketing for gaming. "The result is an amazing audio experience for console gamers, no matter when they like to play. The Logitech Wireless Headset F540 delivers superior sound coupled with voice chat and does it all without a single cable running between you and your console."

One cool feature on the F540 is that you can recharge the headset while you're still playing -- just attach the micro USB cable and you're good to go. Otherwise, Logitech says you can expect up to 10 hours of use in between charges.

The F540 will ship stateside in November for $150.
