Commodore 64 LAN Party features First C64 Online Multiplayer Game

A Commodore 64 Expo was held recently, where attendees dusted off their Commodore 64s, networked them together and had an old-fashioned LAN party to play NetRacer — a new C64 racing game that supports eight people over internet or LAN for the first time. Organized by the Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky (!?), the event was attended by the likes of Dragos, Dopple, Elwix and Snogpitch.

Happy 30th Birthday LAN! Thank God For Meatball Sandwiches

Oh LAN, it seems like it was only yesterday that your first commercial installation (ARCnet) was born at Chase Manhattan Bank in New York. We must give thanks to Harry Pyle and that meatball sandwich he was eating for providing the inspiration behind ARCnet all those years ago. Enjoy it while you can old friend, because the times are changing, and you may not live to see your 40th. More »

Wi-LAN Sues Everyone and Their Mom (Really) Over Dubious Wi-Fi Patents

Another day, another Wi-Fi patent entanglement. Today the troll plaintiff suing practically the entire industry is Wi-LAN, whose two patents—"related to Wi-Fi and power consumption in DSL products"—are apparently violated by anyone making or selling anything from routers to notebooks. The suit, launched in the capital of patent infringement suits, the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, targets Acer, Apple, Belkin, Best Buy, Broadcom, Buffalo, Circuity City, Dell, D-Link, Gateway, HP, Infineon, Intel, Lenovo, Marvell, Netgear, Sony, TI, Toshiba, Westell and 2Wire.

Gigantic-Clawed Dragon Bot Terrifies and Helps at the Same Time

Updated: The Enryu T-53 "support dragon" has two powerful yellow claws at the end of each hydraulic arm, but, fear not, it's here to help. The 3-ton rescue vehicle is controlled either with joysticks or, à la Robot Jox, a system where the arms of the machine mimic the arms of the operator, though with slower movements. It's like a crazy robot version of the jaws of life.

Wii LAN Adapter Now Available for the Four People Who Don't Have WiFi

If for some reason you've been standing around with your Wii in your hands waiting to get it online without a wireless router or USB dongle, you can set it down now and get some Intarweb juices flowing with a regular ethernet cable. The Wii LAN adapter is now available online from ShopNintendo for $25, making it ten bucks cheaper than the dongle. Which is to say that it costs $5 more than this wireless router, which would bring magic internet connectivity not just to your Wii, but also to your DS, PSP, PCs, and neighbors. – Matt Buchanan More »

LG LAN-9600R In-Car GPS + Multimedia Entertainment System

LG shows off some GPS know-how with its LAN-9600R. Besides the fact that the built-in disc reader supports CDs and DVDs filled with all sorts of multimedia (MP3, WMA, Divx, etc.), the unit's 7-inch screen is motorized, meaning that it can retract into the dash at the push of a button. Now, LG cannot claim to be the inventor of this feature, but it's still appreciated. Sure, I'd most appreciate being able to not get lost while listening to and watching the latest Hollywood-Approved Content, but that's another matter entirely. More »

LG Intros LAN-SD460 GPS Navi with Steering Wheel-Mounted Controls

Among the saving graces of hyper-expensive factory-installed GPS systems are niceties such as steering wheel-mounted controls. LG adds that convenience with its LAN-SD460, a combination GPS navigation system and portable media player which also has DMB to receive those digital broadcasts in Japan. All of that video content shows up on its larger-than-average 4.1 inch screen. That steering wheel control lets you adjust the volume, channel, and zoom, keeping your hands where they belong. Just don't be watching that digital TV while you're driving. More »
