CF-19 and CF-30 ToughBooks Have Brightest Screens Ever

Put us in an alley with Panny’s new ToughBooks and chances are they’ll kick our asses. And they’re also packing 1000cd screens—that’s 2.5 times brighter than the screen on a 30-inch cinema display by Apple! But despite their toughness and brightness, we hold no respect for ’em. Yeah, they have shock-mounted hard drives and we…

Zune Pre-orders Start Now

If just counting down to the Zune’s arrival isn’t enough for you, you can now pre-order the upcoming Microsoft MP3 player on EBGames’ website.

Is the PS3 Controller Garbage?

IGN UK took the SIXAXIS PS3 controller to town, groping it rough in some back alley behind their cubicle farm, going on to say it feels cheaper than the joypad on a Chinese NES knockoff.

This cellphone patent from Motorola lets a cellphone keep an eye on its own battery power, and when low, turns the phone into a parasite on neighboring phones.

Video Ads Coming to a Hand Dryer Near You

We value our time spent on the can, so the thought of having commercial-playing displays in the bathroom pisses us off (lame pun intended). But apparently that’s how it’s been going on down under. This image of a hand dryer in Australia shows an ad playing right off the dryer’s display. We don’t wash our…

Sony PS3’s Online Functionality Explored

Eurogamer had their way with the PlayStation 3’s online functionality and console UI and discovered some interesting details other than the fact that everything’s free. The UI looks just like the PSP’s, there are multiple sign-on identities, and there’s a single login for all games. Everything’s pretty much on-par with the Xbox 360’s online offerings,…
