Comcast to Stream New Theater Releases to Your Home for $50/Movie

Don’t wanna pay $12 to see Spider-Man 3 in theaters? The folks at Comcast wanna stream the movie straight to your living room provided you pay ’em between $29 to $49/per movie. That’s right, for the price of a movie ticket and the DVD, Comcast will stream new releases to your home. Personally, I think…

His & Her TiVo Wedding Cakes

This is the work of Debbie at DebbieDoesCakes (awesome name of a business) and it makes me wonder what kind of a couple loves TiVo so much to have the mascot as their wedding cake? I do have to compliment Debbie on the outstanding work. Each cake is 18-inches tall and I would assume they…

First Look at Mitsubishi’s 1080p DLPs and LCDs, and What’s That About Laser DLP?

Having had a look at the new DLPs and LCDs from Mitsubishi, due out this August, I’m pretty excited about what I see. The TVs are generally sweet, as Mitsubishi has joined Pioneer in the “higher end or bust” category. The DLPs have impressive viewing angles both widthwise and up-and-down; I hate when you get…

Water Mortar Drenches the Competition

The traditional summer water balloon fight just got a little more intense. Fill up a water balloon and load it into this shoulder-mounted water mortar. It uses a spring-loaded mechanism to fire the water balloon. The effective range is anywhere from 15 to 20 feet, and this device is sure to piss off Mom. $40.…

Sony Ericsson P1i Smartphone (the Eagerly Awaited P990 Successor) Video Overview

If you were intrigued by the Sony Ericsson P1 we told you about last week, here’s a video preview of the device. It’s a good walkthrough if you were wondering how the phone looks in the size of a normal person’s hands, assuming Jens Greve has normal-sized hands. Even with the combined-keys on the QWERTY,…

Boynq’s Saturn Speakers Are Motion Sensitive

Looking for a pair of speakers to jazz up your desktop? Boynq’s new motion-sensitive Saturn could do the trick. The spherical speaker must be standing upright in order to pump out audio. To turn it off, you place the sphere on its back. Sure, they sound gimmicky, but at least the speakers will keep your…

No iPhone Pre orders, Fanboy Riots to Ensue on Launch Day

According to this internal AT&T doc to sales reps, the iPhone will not be available for preorder. I predict lines of fanboys, much like at the PS3 launch day, with lots of crime and anarchy to go along with. Isn’t this one case where preorders make a lot of sense? Just set those up without…

007 Cellphone For the Secret Asian Man

Oh yeah, we could totally see James bond using this gigantic monstrosity of a cellphone. In our opinion, Roger Moore could have used this VIP 007 cellphone from China back in the ’70s, where it would seem completely futuristic and blend right in with the other tacky stuff they shoved into his films (call us…

Rumormania: Apple Putting 3G into MacBooks?

This rumor seems to come out of nowhere, but the combination of wishful thinking and high-end technology is what makes it so good. AppleInsider says a source told them Apple will integrate 3G access into a MacBook model. Other laptop makers have already introduced the trend into their business and “luxury” models, but Apple is…

Quick News: Wal-Mart Loves Skype and More

CBS showed today that they are at least starting to understand what consumers want. They are planning on syndicating their online content to other sites like Joost or AOL, instead of keeping it all on CBS.com. This is probably the last thing Vonage wanted to hear (Aside from Patent Infringement), but Skype has secured a…

Dealzmodo: Sony Cybershot DSC-S650 Digital Camera, $99

The DSC-S650 is a small digital camera with a 7.2-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom, 2.0-inch LCD and 24MB of internal memory.

Shiro Soccer Ball MP3 Player—Kicking Not Recommended

Shiro was a year late getting this soccer ball MP3 player out—it was created for the World Cup (which took place last summer), but it is still pretty neat looking nonetheless. As an MP3 player, it is pretty dull with up to 1GB of memory, an OLED display, FM tuner and support for WMA, WAV…

Vice Admiral Robert Murrett, head of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, recently stated that the…
