Intel in More Trouble Than We Thought?

Om Malik turns a keen eye to Intel, who might be trying to slink off into the corner to lick some Itanium wounds, but not before trying to distract the market with its (superb) Dothan core. Just a few days ago, see, Intel made modest headlines when they announced plans to scrap future Tejas and…

Vodafone’s Five Japan-Only Handsets

Slashphone has gotten some better shots of those 5 new summer phones coming from Vodafone, along with information (and enough lull in all the game news to talk about them). Down the line, the green Mitsubishi V401D has a 2-megapixel camera with multiple lens covers, plus powers up the camera as soon as it is…

E3: Floor Team: Booth Babes

Our E3 floor team is packing it up for the day, getting ready to do the real dirty work of E3: watching drunk developers dance at faux-raves thrown by game companies’ marketing teams. And since I had to put that image into your mind, let me try to make up for it by offering what…

Alienware’s Double Fisted X2 Video Array

When I heard about Alienware’s announcement of their upcoming X2 Video Array system, I was so surprised that flies hatched from larvae inside my body and flew right out of my genitals. First of all, Alienware’s system is two things, really: the X2 motherboard, based on Intel’s Tumwater chipset that includes two PCI-Express slots (PCI-Express…

Philips DVP642 Progressive Scan DVD/Divx/Xvid Player $65

Amazon’s got the Philips DVP642 Progressive Scan DVD player for $65 and the usual free shipping. Not only is this a solid progressive scan player, but it can play files burned to CD and DVD+R in most major formats, including DivX (3/4/5), VCD, SVCD, ASF, and XviD. The only complaint most people seem to have…

E3: Floor Team: Gizmondo, ApeXtreme, Computer Space, and More

Here’s some more live-from-the-floor coverage, this time with pics of either a mockup of the original Computer Space console or perhaps even the original, I don’t know. Also below are pictures of the ultimate gaming chair and those Gizmondo bastards PDA/handheld in action. Look – Original Computer Space Console! Look – Ape Xtreme Console Look…

E3: Floor Team: Infinium Labs’ Phantom

More pics from the Gizmodo E3 Floor Team, this time of Infinium Labs’ Phantom console (and the first ground breaking title, VARMINTZ!), as well as a special Yeeeehaw! surprise. Also, and I don’t recall where I heard this, but some are saying that Infinium is claiming not to have been able to get a broadband…

NHJ Wearable Color TV Review

As I read this short review of the NHJ Wearable Color TV VTV-101 (you know, the one you can wear on your wrist if you’re going for that ‘just got out of my HDL & High Level Logic Synthesis class and I’m feeling fine’ look), I kept looking for the part where I4U’s Luigi Luqmayr…

E3: Gizmodo Floor Team is Go

The first photos from our team live on the floor of E3 are starting to roll in, starting with this first bunch of shots from Denny Atkin. He’s shooting with a Canon Powershot S400, then uploading straight to us through an iPaq h5550 (for annotating the shot commentary) and up the pipe of his Sony…

E3: Sony PSP Keyboard

Would somebody like to explain to me what exactly this clear piece of plastic with keys screened onto it is supposed to indicate? Surely this isn’t the reported USB keyboard add-on for the PSP. More pictures direct from the floor of E3 coming up. While you’re waiting, why don’t you check out LA-based sister site…

Student Cheats With Cell Phone, Entire School Pays the Price

This tough love shit is going to cramp some style: after catching a student attempting to photograph an exam to send to a friend, school officials at Everett Alvarez High School have banned cell phones entirely, a reaffirming of their ban on “electronic signaling devices” that had been mostly ignored. So if I’m reading this…

Cymor: Robot, For Real

It’s really hard to parse what exactly this thing does—something about following light and learning how to get around your house—but damn it, it’s a robot, and if we don’t post every cute Japanese robot we can find, what are we really here for? Also, it is of note, I think, that the ‘Cybot’ can…

MSI MEGA 180 SFF PC with Home Audio Ambition

Whining Dog has a review of the MSI MEGA 180 small form factor PC, with all the requisite benchmarks and comparisons and what not, but what will probably make it most interesting to you is the strange attempted synergy of PC and home audio equipment nestled in the MEGA 180’s front bezel. Even when the…

Canon Drops Analog Camcorder Lines

Canon has decided to throw in the towel when it comes to analog video cameras, deciding instead of focus exclusively on digital video options. As of this summer, the last two Canon analog recorders will be phased out, although thankfully Canon will keep spare repair stocks in place for the next seven years. Sales of…

Sony’s Capable DPP-EX50 Dye-Sub Printer

PC Magazine takes a break from administering John Dvorak’s daily foot massage to review the Sony DPP-EX50, a desktop dye-sublimation photo printer that they find produces some great snapshot prints, albeit none too quickly (one photo takes a little under two minutes to print). If you keep most of your photos online and just need…

Practical Boat Owner has a four-way roundup of low-end water resistant cameras, including the Pentax Optio 22WR, Casio GV-20, Sony Cybershot DSC-U60, and the Ricoh Capillo 300G.

iMac G5, or the G5 Mini

Mac hacker J. Peter Kellner converted his spare iMac into a bespoke “iMac G5,” a half-size white polystyrene and steel case that cops the design of Apple’s G5 Tower, while keeping the G4/400 insides of his old machine (sans monitor, of course). Read [Applefritter via CultOfMac]

Sony’s Type X DVR is Big Boned

So I guess even the Japanese can’t cram the seven HDTV tuners and a terabyte of storage of the VAIO Type X (which I’ve highlighted in a festive orange) into anything smaller than a server-sized PC case. Unless, that is, Sony has developed a diminutive Bjorkian VAIO cyborg, which hello, review unit please. (Thanks, Philippe!)…

MaxiVista ‘Laptop as Monitor’ Impressions

I’ve been playing around with a copy of MaxiVista, the software that lets you use another machine as a second monitor (usually a spare laptop, although there’s nothing stopping you from using it on any machine with a display). In a nutshell, it works and works well. Read my impressions after the jump. I downloaded…

Sony’s Type X Seven Tuner, One Terabyte DVR

So I’m a little behind the curve on this one, but it’s too cool not to mention: Sony, as part of this latest VAIO push, has unveiled a new DVR called the ‘Type X’ with an impressive 1 terabyte of storage coupled to seven TV tuners, basically creating the first megaTiVo of the future. While…
