Dish Network ViP 722 DVR: More Space, Black Chassis, Slight Improvement

We got our hands on the Dish Network ViP722, making sure the next generation of satellite DVRs has plenty of storage space. Its makers have added hours of storage to this beast, now totalling 55 hours' worth of 1080i or 720p HD video, or 350 hours of standard def. In addition, you can now plug in an external USB hard drive and keep swapping them out as you need more storage. If that's not enough, you can also output video to a second television.

VIP Edition 787 Dreamliner Still Kicks Airbus' Butt With Style

Following yesterday's 787 news, Hong Kong real estate tycoon Joseph Lau has just ordered a Dreamliner VIP. It's the same airplane you and I are going to use, but instead of being crammed in seat 36D between Biff, the overweight shoe salesman, and Chantal, the aerobic teacher from Fort Lauderdale, he'll have a 2,404 square-feet luxurious cabin all for himself. As a bonus, check the just-unveiled new interior designs for the 747-8 VIP, complete with SkyLoft, "vaulted ceilings, spiral staircases and video wall displays" after the jump. More »

Gizmodo Frankenreview: Tivo Series3

After a long wait, the TiVo Series3 DVR is finally out. Sure, the new model supports recording two coveted HD sources at one time, and still offers most of the features we loved from the Series 2 (though TiVoToGo is gone for now). But, an $800 price tag might be steep for mainstream buyers and competition is afoot. Our hyperfuturistic 4d graph breaks the Series 3 down against the DISH ViP622. Unfortunately, consumers have to choose more between cable and satellite in this matchup than between DVRs, as neither box supports its counterpart. Check out the jump for the jumbo banana split topped with double cherries we call the Frankenreview - we read, so you don't have to...read...as much...you're still actually reading...we realize this...– Mark Wilson More »

Stephen King Tie-In with Cellphone Users

If you actually still like to read books, this multimedia tie-in should make you feel a little more connected to the digital world. Looks like a company called Flytxt—a mobile marketing provider that has teamed up with book publisher Scribner—is planning an exclusive mobile tie-in with Stephen King's latest book called Cell. Basically, you'll get an SMS to join the Stephen King VIP Club on January 18, sent out via Yahoo!, that will also ask you to check out the website cellthebook.com. Once there, you'll be asked again to join the Club. If you choose do so, on January 24 (publication day), you'll receive a voice message from Stephen King himself, as well as weekly messages advertising trivia, sweepstakes, polls, and other Cell-related content. Also expect some premium content, like wallpapers and Stephen King talk-tones, which you'll have to pay for. And best of all? You'll also get a podcast where the author reads a monologue. We all know Stephen King has been ahead of his time when it comes to digital content, which is great, but let's hope this book doesn't disappoint. More »
