Welcome, Existing Readers

This spot is for the ‘Welcome, Mac OS X Tiger Users’ message that we would have put up, presuming that Apple would have added our feed to Safari RSS’s site list. I’m pretty bummed, but since none of the other small sites whose logos are on the Safari web page are in the list, I’m…

Really Flat Speakers

Scientists at NXT have created the first completely flat speakers. While speakers like those Monsoon sets have been bringing tinny, poor excuses for sound to your ears for ages, the new generation of flat speakers are as flexible as a piece of fabric. As a matter of fact, they can be hung on walls and…

DIY Teleprompter

Max Rottersman has a neat little guide on creating your own simple teleprompter. Basically consisting of a laptop screen facing up and an angled CD case, it’s a quick fix if you find you’ve become Anderson Cooper overnight and need to do the news from home. (Although, if this has happened, where to find a…

Another Librie Hands-on

Here s some great commentary on the Japanese Giant’s tendency to keep things nice and closed. The Librie, which we love, is a beautiful tablet/e-reader/etc. However, it only supports MemoryStick, has an unsupported DRM system, and isn’t sold outside of Edo. So, what you have is another great Sony idea that will soon be copied…

HSDPA Embedded Wireless Modems

Very interesting development in the growth of GPRS and other cellular data transfer systems. Novatel is now selling Mini PCI Express wireless cards that support HSDPA, UMTS, and a few other protocols and won’t take up your PCMCIA slot. Does this mean that carriers will start subsidizing networked laptops? Will Centrino turn into Celltrino? HSDPA…

Pyramat Sound Lounger PM550 Reviewed (Verdict: Good for the Lazy)

Those nuts at I4U know what makes a good review—smiling women sitting on the product in question. I think Consumer Reports could learn a thing or two from them… imagine Bob Dole in drag flashing that million-dollar grin next to a box of Cialis in their pharma reviews. Pure media gold. Anyway, the Pyramat is…

Rolling Tactical Eyeballs

Are we not living in the ultimate Mega Man future? These rolling cameras by Remington Technologies, a subsidiary of Remington Arms, can be thrown into a room ahead of an invading force in order to scope things out. Each ball can take video as it rolls or stay stationary. A wireless connection controls the rotation…

iRiver H10 20GB Leak

It looks like the iRiver H10 20GB is finally for sale. We talked about this colorful little HD audio player a while back but now its finally available on eCost for $289.99, which is $9 less than the 20GB iPod. https://gizmodo.com/iriver-h10-review-excerpts-28159 iRiver H10 20gb for sale soon?

iPod Tax Proposed By Dutch Group

A Dutch foundation named “Stichting Thuiskopie” has suggested a new way of squeezing money out of the online music industry: imposing a “surcharge” based on the amount of storage in portable audio players. I can’t imagine anything like this ever leaving Europe. Even if it does, I’m sure the innovative public will find a way…

Videophone TV

Why is it that Italy gets all the cool stuff? Think about it: good cheese, Popes, Vespas, and Videophone TV channels. The Digital Magics Group is creating a videophone call-in program for Rai Uno to allow viewers to show up on TV. The service uses Mycast, a video hosting service that is already popular overseas…

VeinViewer – Well, It Views Veins

Here’s a nice video of the VeinViewer in action. Designed to allow doctors to see under the skin for injections et al, it’s quite a trip to see the sweet blood of the innocents pulsing only microns below the surface of their supple skin. If you’re so vein—hah! Willie!—that you need to see what’s going…

Hybrid Light Projection Concerts

By merging a plain overhead projector with a more modern digital video projector and a computer vision system, Golan Levin and Zachary Lieberman have developed (well, in 2004) what they call Manual Input Sessions. Essentially interactive and dynamic shadow puppets, the vision system analyzes the shadows you cast over the analog project with your hands…

Garmin StreetPilot c320 Reviewed (Verdict: Strangely Familiar)

The Garmin StreetPilot is one of the first really self-contained GPS units to come out of Garmin. Designed to get you from Point A to Point B without all the fuss and muss. TrustedReviews feels this thing looks a lot like the TomTom Go, but I think any GPS unit with a color touchscreen will…

iPod Bag, Shoulder Bag with Integrated Speakers

It was quite some time ago that we first reported on the iPod handbag with integrated speakers, and now it’s back (but still not black). BrightonNet Corporation will be releasing the “iPod shoulder Bag” and “iPod Bag” in Japan on May 9th. Both cost 12,800 yen, and use four AAA batteries. Though I couldn’t find…

iWoodKiosk

The iWoodKiosk by Tactus Multimedia is, well, just that—an indoor, interactive terminal that’s made out of wood. (And if the literature’s to be trusted, most decidedly not a witch.) With a website and catalog that prominently features close up, lacquer-coated shots of what can only be described as wood porn, the finished piece looks great…

California Curbs State RFID Usage

In wacky California, a bill to limit the usage of RFID in state and other government documents is making its way through the state legislature. This follows after a decision made by the Federal government to include RFID in US Passports; it seems the public isn’t so hot about wireless access to personal information. C’mon,…

Griffin TuneJuice Recharger

So you need that extra five minutes with Eye of the Tiger to get you through this long commute. But your iPod is dead. What to do? Whip out the TuneJuice, man, it’s the only way to charge. TuneJuice is a battery backup that uses one replacable 9-volt cell to supply up to 8 hours…

Tiger Direct Attacks Tiger

TigerDirect has suddenly decided to sue Apple over their use of the word “Tiger” in the name of their latest operating system. Tiger is set to go on sale today, but given how long ago it was that Apple announced the OS would be called “Tiger,” this seems pretty dumb. A search for “Tiger” yields…

Net-Powered PC

An interesting concept and on that could take off big in areas with a lower level of infrastructure—a PC that is powered through the Ethernet port. The system, which uses Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), can get a charge of up to 15.4 watts. Some cameras and smaller systems are already using PoE but this is a first…
