Sony Announces MZ-RH1 Hi-MD Walkman

We know, we know, we can’t believe Sony’s working on new MiniDisc products either. We’re not even sure what we think is cuter: the fact that Sony’s still making them, or that they’ve apparently realized that ATRAC is not going to be king after all no matter how hard they try and so the new…

Glossy Surround-Sound Headphones With Six Speakers

We missed these in our CeBIT adventures and I’m going to say I’m kind of glad. The WaveOn MCH-501U is a surround-sound speakers system with optical in and six internal speakers. Details are as slim as garter snake, but let’s chalk this up to “overkill, mkay” and move on. 6 speakers in one headphone?? [AVing]

Lightscribe Works Better With Multiple Burns

I’ve never seen anyone using Lightscribe to label their CDs thus far, but that doesn’t mean people don’t do it. In an obvious, if interesting test, reader David shows us that you can greatly improve the contrast on Lightscribe disks by burning them a few times. At 5-10 minutes per burn, you better have a…

New PS3 Controller to Debut at E3

Have no fear, bat-a-rang haters. The monstrosity of a controller that Sony has been displaying since E3 2005 will be getting the can and a new model will be on display at this year’s E3 in May. We speculated the redesign when we saw the bat-a-rang controller missing from the Sony booth at CES and…

Prolite X4868 Motion Sensing Monitor

This 19-inch monitor features an integrated motion sensor that will detect when a person sits in front of the monitor and power it on. I always thought having the monitor in standby mode was sufficient.

PS3 Dev-Kit Running on XP?

The horror! Microsoft’s Major Nelson took this candid shot of the PS3 dev-kit running on XP. Somewhere, Tux is screaming. And screaming. Apparently, the dev-kit was supposed to be Linux-only and was also supposed to come with a pet dolphin and make you see beautiful sunrises. However, this frightening development truly changes the entire game.…

The HD-DVD Tally: Toshiba, Hitachi, Acer, Who Else?

Looks like Acer has tipped its hand and will be producing HD-DVD laptops this year, fast on Toshiba’s long tail. No details on the final implementation—and, most importantly, no details on if Acer will also support Blu-Ray—but we should get a few bets together on the winning format. I’m currently inching towards BR, but HD-DVD…

1080p: Dream the Impossible Dream

In the grand scheme of things, the average gamer—and I don’t mean folks who are reading this right now—can’t tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. Thank God, because according to Microsoft’s Scott Henson, director of game technology, pure 1080p content is very, very hard to produce and any hardware manufacturer who is claiming to…

Turning away from the steady stream of annoying alarm clocks we’ve seen lately, the Lifemax Under Pillow Vibration Alarm Clock attempts to keep from bothering those around you by vibrating you awake rather than making obnoxious noises or requiring you to perform mundane tasks.
