All Giz Wants: A Gaming PC With the Soul of a Console

As grown-up and burly as this generation of consoles has become, we still like doing some of our gaming on the PC, especially when it comes to first-person shooters. But our ultimate gaming PC isn't what's come to typify the phrase "gaming PC." We don't want some tricked out, neon Barad-dûr bullshit dominating our desktop. More »

All Giz Wants: One Plug For Everything

Come with us into the world of fantasy, where there's just one kind of plug and its associated cable that will work for every electronic device. What we would like to see is one cable that carries audio, video and power to or from whatever device you need to use. It needs to be small, it needs to have tremendous bandwidth (perhaps using fiber optics), and it needs to be smart enough not to ruin anything you plug it into. It sure would beat the alphabet soup we have to deal with now. More »

Latest by Wwhat: @Erwos: True but support is all optional, DVI also supports HDCP. And they are talking about a HDCP-DRM-like scheme for USB even, basically you can mess up ANY digital link with DRM nonsense, even the HD airways have the locking bit more »

All Giz Wants: A Real Universal Remote

All Giz Wants isn't about wanting what we have now. It's about wanting what we should have now, what's technically possible but practically improbable. Here's an item I've been (wet) dreaming about for some time—a universal remote that's really universal. I don't mean to control both a Blu-ray player and an HD DVD player. I mean to control my TV, computer and the air popper. More »

All Giz Wants: An All-In-One Set Top Box

If you've been around long enough, you'll remember All Giz Wants—our series of fanciful and unlikely wishlist items that would totally make this the Best Holidays Ever if we got them. Here's one I've been wishing for for the better part of a decade: an all-in-one set top box that does everything. More »

All Giz Wants: Video Headsets That Don't Suck

When it comes to watching movies, nothing beats sitting in front of a large HDTV. The catch is, not all of us can afford one. That's where video headsets come in. Devices like Olympus' now defunct EyeTrek that promise panorama-like viewing experiences from a pair of goggles. The problem is they all suck. Headplay says they're working on an HD unit, but watching flicks on the current model has been likened to watching movies on a ViewMaster. More »

All Giz Wants: Virtual Surround Sound Done Right


As much as I love surround sound, I don't have the space in my living room to wire a 5.1 or 6.1 speaker set. So instead I rely on my Denon S301, a 2.1 system that emulates a 5.1 setup. But as much as I love it, the S301 (and most virtual surround sound systems I've heard) still have a few flaws. I realize virtual surround sound (VSS) will never replace a real surround sound system, but there are a few improvements I'd like to see... More »

All Giz Wants: Mac Clones Again

Why, oh why can't there be Mac clones again? The quality of Mac hardware has been steadily declining, and if a user is devoted to OS X and no other, there's no choice for hardware but Apple. More »

All Giz Wants: The Netflix Set-Top Box

I, for one, am sick of having to get up off my ass to get new movies to watch. Sure, it's gotten easier since the days that had me driving to the video store to rent a movie (remember video stores? How quaint.), but it's not easy enough. I still need to mail movies back to Netflix and wait a few days for the next film on my list to arrive. Bah! More »

All Giz Wants: Donations for the Kim Family

Gizmodo.jpgThere's a lot of stuff we want for the holidays. Most of it can't be bought on a shelf. Yes, things like Tivo Series 3 for $99. But the guys and I want to make it clear that what we really want is for each of our readers to make a donation to James Kim's family. More »

All Giz Wants: Zune Done Right

We may have given high marks to the Zune, but in the end we still chose the iPod as the player of choice for the holidays. But what we'd really like is the Zune to be done right. More »
