Intel Releases Dual-Core Xeon CPUs Early

Intel’s dual-core Xeon aka Paxville chips will drop later this year and not Q1 2006, as previously announced. Why? And why do we care? Well, AMD is pinching at Intel a bit with their dual-core server and desktop offerings, which makes Intel cry a little. The new chips, which will probably end up in servers…

Drone Wars

DefenseTech runs down a full list of unmanned drones that may soon be coming to a field of battle near you. They’re not in production yet, but they’re generally pretty cool. First up we have the DP-5X, an unmanned helicopter that can be taken apart and put back together in the field. Then we have…

Samsung Releases Its First Series 60 Smartphones

We’re so proud. Samsung has released its first Series 60 Symbian Smartphones, SCH-D720 and SGH-D730 — thus showing the world that, yes, Samsung can so make it in the Symbian Smartphone arena, if you’ll just give it a chance. They both look and feel like regular handsets: the SCH-D720 is a slider, while the SCH-D730…

Griffin Technology PowerJolt: Jolts the iPod Back to Life

One of the worst things that could befall an otherwise happy-go-lucky roadtrip is one’s iPod dying. Don’t believe me? Have you heard today’s radio stations? Full of annoying deejays, bad music, and even worse talk radio? Yeah, well, there you go. And forget about turning the radio off and making conversation — everyone else is…

XBox 360 Price Leaked – 600 Swiss Francs = $477

The XBox 360 will cost about $477—it will probably be a bit less in the US, but we’re seeing the general pricing structure here. It is actually pretty ‘spensive. The source of this information? Some sort of internal Swiss Microsoft page. I’ve got a buddy of mine who speaks Swiss German [I could have sworn…

Pioneer VSA-AX4AVi and the VSX-AX2AV – iPod Inside

Pioneer just dropped two new receivers, the VSA-AX4AVi and the VSX-AX2AV. The VSA-AX4AVi is tres hot because it accepts USB connections from audio players including something called the Apple iPod. Otherwise, the differences are pretty standard: the 7-channel VSA-AX4AVi rocks at 220W per channel and the VSX-AX2AV runs 200Wx7 channels. They support HDMI and WMA9…

Robots Get Skin, Souls, are Now Real Boys

University of Tokyo researchers have created a form of robot skin that reacts to touch and temperature and may, in the future, react to strain and light levels. The skin is pliable and can cover multiple robo-surfaces, leading to robots that can react to more than just visual stimuli, and, in the case of the…

Toyota’s Hybrid Concept

We’re pulling a tip from our brothers over at Jalopnik by highlighting some big news from Toyota. Toyota has some images and information available on a concept car that is powered by fuel cell and battery hybrid engine.

QoolQee i (Verdict: Potentially Qool)

This QoolQee i MP3 player definitely falls into the category of weird. The player appears to be shaped like its name, the letter i, sans floating dot, obviously. The design would actually work nicely for a runner. It could be gripped in the hand and the top of the device has a knob that handles…

Taser Lights Up Your Life

Taser International did a study, the methodology of which seems a bit tepid, in my home town, Columbus, Ohio—Love that Borden Butter Cow! The study showed that the use of stun guns has prevented 14 potentially deadly-force incidents and that 12 of the incidents were directly related to suicide attempts—in Columbus, they don’t go for…

N3-B Kidrobot Speaker Box

Jason Sui has designed a unique looking speaker box that could definitely add some flair to any home theatre system. This speaker box, named N3-8 Kidrobot, looks like a penguin wearing an oversized jacket, which is actually what they used to say about me in high school. The N3-8 houses three speakers up to 150…

NTT Debuts “Lawnmower Man” UI

NTT—motto: “Just Let Us Embed this Chip In Your Brain”—is introducing a new 3D browser UI that allows for visualization of complex data sets through a “fly through” interface. Very VR circa Mondo 2000. While it’s no Windows Vista (Transparent window bezels! OMG), it’s still an interesting concept piece. It won’t be available to us…

DirectTV Dumps TiVo, I Invite TiVo Out for Lunch to Commiserate, Maybe More

DirecTV and TiVo split up. You knew it was going to happen. They were so quiet at dinner last week and DirecTV kept taking TiVo out to the porch to talk and TiVo would come back crying. But whatever. I’m moving in on TiVo next week. She’s hot. Anyway, DirecTV already has a new girlfriend,…

Gold Burberry iPod Case for the Rich, Inbred

I’m still fuming about Safari, so I’ll make this short: gold. Burberry. iPod case. This isn’t the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. I just don’t know what to say.

Oooh… shiny! Japanese company Interworld Electronics has released an all-stainless-steel keyboard that’s apparently dustproof and waterproof. It looks super-thin and the buttons appear flat, which might mean it’ll be a hassle to type. But with a look this gorgeous, who cares? It retails for 39,800 yen which is about 350 USD, though it will probably…
