Revolution for Under $300

Here’s an exciting little tidbit, straight out of the VP of Sales and Marketing’s mouth. Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime recently announced that we’ll be seeing the Revolution selling in the US for under the $300 mark, which will make it significantly lower-priced than the PS3 is rumored to be and still lower than the 360. Good…

PS: Your iPod Doesn’t Know From Romance

I’ve heard of making sure your woman was properly romanced on Valentine’s Day, but this is getting ridiculous. Insomuch that the holiday is a reason for men to spend money on the women they love (or just want to get into bed), I am shocked and appalled to see that iAttire is now offering romantic…

Plasma Burn-In From Too Much Sports

Looks like the Australians take their sports extra seriously, with some of them actually burning the logos of TV channels into their brand new plasma screens from too much viewing of the same channel. Fascinating, really. I’ve had a plasma for over 2 years and I’ve never had this problem. But Aussie Wayne Siers claims…

RIM Slapped Again By Supreme Court

Looks like everyone’s favorite handheld is being screwed again by the United States Supreme Court, which has refused to review the patent infringement against Research in Motion.

I thought the cooperation to find a single ultra-wideband standard seemed to good to be true, and now we can kiss the idea goodbye for quite a while as the IEEE Task Group TG3a disbands. Forced together to come up with this standard, it seems that the group has given up because the members of…

SLRs are certainly attracting attention lately, but we got wind of an odd story that’s certainly a little out of the ordinary.

Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook Tablet

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I like the tablet PC concept, but in real life they’re kind of glorified PDAs that are excellent for very specific apps and useless as an every day PC. That doesn’t really stop me, however, from gawking at them when they come around. This Fujitsu Siemens…
