- Born For Wii: Beyond Good & Evil Nintendo Wii Fanboy - Http://Www.Nintendowiifanboy.Com/2008/07/08/Born For Wii Beyond Good And Evil/ Born for Wii: Beyond Good & Evil - Nintendo Wii Fanboy Listen to the Joystiq Podcast (because your ears can't read)GameDaily DS Fanboy Massively PS3 Fanboy PSP Fanboy Joystiq WOW Insider Add to: My AOL, MyYahoo, Google, Bloglines Wii Web Images Video News Local More ? x Jobs Mapquest Movies Music Personals Shopping Travel Yellow Pages Joystiq Presents Nintendo Wii Fanboy Born for Wii: Beyond Good & EvilPosted Jul 8th 2008 10:15AM by Wesley FenlonFiled under: Born for WiiWhen Friedrich Nietzsche wrote his famous philosophical work Beyond Good and Evil in the late 19th century, odds are he didn't think that it would be a source of inspiration for video games over a century later. Namco proved him wrong with their trilogy of Xenosaga RPGs, each of which had a subtitle referencing a Nietzsche work (such as "Jenseits von Gut und B?se"). But it's another wannabe trilogy that owes its moniker to Nietzsche that's up for recognition.Beyond Good & Evil was published at the height of the Christmas rush in December 2003, and despite its war-on-all-fronts release on the GameCube, PS2, Xbox, and PC, it simply failed to sell. The game received widespread critical acclaim, but competition from other games caused it to be given a jarring price drop mere weeks after its release. Even so, those in the know played Beyond Good & Evil and saw it for what it was -- a fantastic adventure with a unique world and an appealing cast of heroes. And though it took four years, Ubisoft finally gave a sequel the green light -- so it's time to show the original game some much-deserved love.Gallery: Born for Wii: Beyond Good & EvilThe adventure begins with a bang, as the world of Hillys comes under yet another attack from a rather nasty alien race known as the DomZ. A group of soldiers known as the Alpha Sections have occupied Hillys in the name of protection, but they can't be everywhere at once, so when our protagonist Jade's lighthouse-orphanage comes under attack, it's up to her to defeat the DomZ single-handedly. One of the things that "makes" Beyond Good & Evil is Jade herself -- though she can hold her own in a fight, Jade is by no means a warrior. In fact, she's a photojournalist, and when she discovers that the Alpha Sections are up to no good, she takes camera in hand and sets out to uncover their shady dealings with the DomZ.The plot of Beyond Good & Evil manages to take a clich? story arc and make it fun and engaging by tackling it from a new angle and striking a balance between lightheartedness and the occasional dose of drama. Instead of taking on wave-after-wave of baddies and defeating them like a one-man-army to save her planet, Jade must sneak around Alpha Section facilities and use her trusty camera to expose their betrayal in an attempt to enlist the citizenry in an uprising. The cast of characters play a large part in Beyond Good & Evil's success -- the population of Hillys is made up of an odd mixture of humans and anthromorphic animals, ranging from Jade's uncle Pey'j, a boar, to the owners of the Mammago garage, a family of Jamaican Rhinos. The game is largely voice-acted, and the cast is incredibly colorful. The aforementioned rhinos are lovable, as is Peyj's heavy drawl; it's Jade's latin AI-assistant, Secundo, who steals the show whenever he speaks. Beyond Good & Evil's animation is top-notch, and the combination of a solid vocal cast and creative characters really helps bring the cutscenes to life. The multicultural variety exemplified by the population of Hillys extends to Beyond Good & Evil's gameplay, as well. It's easy to draw parallels to the Zelda franchise -- Beyond Good & Evil's camera automatically locks onto approaching enemies in a manner that emulates Zelda's targeting system, and Jade moves and fights much like Link. Jade is also surprisingly nimble and has a wide range of abilities -- aside from her combo-based attacks, she can dodge, sneak, auto-jump (again, like Link) and shimmy across ledges and through tight spots. Jade gets around Hillys with a zippy hovercraft that is a blast to drive, and features in several of Beyond Good & Evil's minigames -- there are several races and cavernous obstacle courses that extend the game's main quest and replayability. The camera also features prominently in the gameplay, as Jade can earn money by cataloguing the species of Hillys, and the ultimate goal of each mission is to uncover whatever particular treachery the Alpha Sections are committing.Overall, Beyond Good & Evil wouldn't need a radical makeover for a Wii port. Graphically, it's still competent, and it supported 480p way back in 2003. In fact, the main reason it deserves to be reborn for the Wii isn't for a unique new control scheme or a new take on a classic game -- it's simply a great adventure that deserves to be played by a wider audience. However, given how slick Twilight Princess is on the Wii, there are a few easy modifications that would make a port Beyond Good & Evil a blast.Much like Twilight Princess, the nunchuk's analog stick would control player movement and shaking the Wiimote would be used for combat. The nunchuk's trigger would control Jade's dodge move, and shaking it would activate her special attack, which was performed on the original controllers by holding down the attack button. The C button would bring up Jade's Camera, which could be zoomed with the analog stick and aimed with the Wiimote. The Wii remote's D-pad could take over the camera control once operated by the right analog stick; A would function as the main action button, and B would function as the Item button. Cycling through items is occasionally important in Beyond Good & Evil (gotta eat those K-Bups when you get hurt!) and could be handled by the Minus button, while the Plus button issues commands to Jade's companion (Pey'j or her fellow insurgent Double H). Finally, the 1 and 2 buttons are there for the classic Map and Start Menu functions. With Beyond Good & Evil 2 in development, Ubisoft needs to give Michel Ancel's original another chance to make a buck. Beyond Good & Evil has very few faults -- the story is wonderfully told, the characters are fantastic, the score is top-notch, and the gameplay is tons of fun. The stealth segments and puzzles never get frustrating, the hovercraft is a blast, and the combat is good enough to be engaging. The game's only real fault is its length; it can easily be finished in about 10 hours. Still, with a sequel on the way and no 100% reliable confirmation on what platforms it'll hit, we can hope that it'll see the light of day on the Wii. But in the meantime, Ubisoft -- give the first game another chance! Every week, Born for Wii digs into gaming's sordid past to unearth a new treasure fit for revival on the Nintendo Wii.

I'm looking forward to preparing myself for the inevitable sequel!Reply 27-08-2008 @ 11:05AM Vogelfrei said...BG&E deserves all the critical acclaim it has received, including your praise in this post. I'm not sure I agree with your proposed control scheme -- at the very least, I'd like to see the motion sensors used more creatively than just "shake." To swing Jade's stick, I would prefer a full swing (though perhaps that's programmatically indistinguishable from a shake). To unlease the power attack, how about raising the Wiimote to a vertical position to prime, and swinging it down to release? That would better match the "bullet time" feel of that attack.The trailer suggests that the sequel will employ high-resolution, photo-realistic 3D rendering, which it really shouldn't; the stylish cartoon rendering was one of the many charms of the original. I hope they keep the art the same -- not only for aesthetic reasons, but also because it's more likely that there will be a Wii port if it doesn't depend on too much processing!Reply 37-08-2008 @ 11:28AM Wesley Fenlon said...It's important to find a balance between ease-of-use and a motion that correlates in a satisfying way to what you see on screen, and shaking certainly leans towards the former. Your suggestion would quite possibly be better.I agree that the rendering certainly lacks some of the cartoony charm of the original, though it does look really great. Maybe we'll get to see something new at E3 that indicates one way or another if there's a chance it could make it to the Wii. 47-08-2008 @ 11:28AM Dan Davis said...Sooo I have a PS3 and an Wii... which port (PS2 or GC) should I rent from Gamefly???Reply 57-08-2008 @ 11:42AM Wesley Fenlon said...According to the Playstation Compatibility list, BG&E suffers from some texture problems if you have an 80 gig system, and of course if you have a 40 you couldn't play it at all. If you get the GameCube version, at least it's guaranteed to work. 67-08-2008 @ 11:46AM Dan Davis said...I have a 60gb... the only other thing I didn't think of was my lack of a GC controller. Guess it's the PS2 version for me. 77-08-2008 @ 11:50AM Vogelfrei said...Mighty Ponygirl (on whose recommendation I played BG&E) says the Gamecube port was considered the best. Not sure why

Gran Paradiso seems to be the codename for the nightly build of 3.0 but opening the link below (which has always given me the latest build) and unpacking it identifies it as Minefield 3.1a1prehttp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ ??report8Radu Dutzan said 8:55PM on 7-05-2008Actually, Mozilla claims both GranParadiso and Minefield are Firefox 3 codenames. They use both quite inconsistently.Nightlies and unbranded stable builds (any build not provided by Mozilla, such as architecture-optimized builds) both use the Minefield name, while internal documentation can use any of them.BonEcho was the only official codename for Firefox 2. TUAW people: these names are not assigned by the people who make these optimized builds, but by Mozilla devs. Please stop saying otherwise. ??report9CJV said 12:57PM on 7-04-2008Speaking of Firefox 3...its poor compatibility with the TUAW Web site is evident in the seriously choppy scrolling that makes TUAW difficult to read on this new version of Firefox.

Reply ??report13nxiv said 1:36PM on 7-04-2008According to Asa Dotzler, Mozilla already "optimizes" all its releases, so these custom builds are meaningless. If you notice an improvement in performance when using one of these custom builds, it's probably the placebo effect. Nothing has really changed, just how you perceive it.Reply ??report14legend said 1:46PM on 7-04-2008Tim'Minefield' was a carefully chosen moniker for Firefox test builds to dissuade casual users from upgrading to potentially unstable versions that would make them think poorly of Firefox's quality. The name (and logo of a stylized bomb) was intended to be 'scary'.FYI, 'Shredder' is intended to be the name of Thunderbird test builds. Reply ??report15tim said 2:41PM on 7-04-2008@legend -That's cool and all, but now that it's for the final release (correct?), it seems that it might persuade people from using it. I suppose the type of person who would look for this would know the real deal anyway, but still, it seems similar to naming your OS 'error prone' and expecting people to use it.Reply ??report16(01) said 3:48PM on 7-04-2008I think you mean "dissuade people from using it." I don't know that the average person is going to come into contact with pre-release builds that often, and clearly they didn't have a problem hitting 26 Million downloads for FF 3. @nxiv: Neil Lee's builds have always ran better for me on my MBP than the official builds, and yes, I've compared the memory. It may not always be apparent, but the optimization does increase the speed of FF. ??report17tim said 3:52PM on 7-04-2008@(01) -Thank you, I did mean 'dissuade.' But we aren't talking about pre-release here, the final release has been named 'Minefield.' And what does the 26 million for Firefox have to do with anything? We aren't talking about Firefox either. ??report18Neil said 2:59PM on 7-04-2008I can't honestly say I feel or see any difference for the regular Firefox 3....seems 100% the same, from performance to rendering. Reply ??report19Greg said 8:34PM on 7-04-2008I don't understand why he's calling them Minefield. Minefield is the name of the nightly builds you get out of the code repository; the proper codename for Firefox 3 derivatives is Gran Paradiso.This is all from Wikipedia, btw.Reply ??report20Olivier Refalo said 12:40AM on 7-05-2008I don't understand why custom build shall be any faster that universal binaries. Right they may take less space on the disk, that because UB hold both PPC and Intel versions, now in memory... the OS picks the right exe at runtime... So I don't get the point with these special versions...Reply ??report | 1 | 2 | Most Recent | Next 20 Comments Tip of the DayIf you select several files in the Finder by command-clicking and then invoke Quick Look with the spacebar, you can move between the images with the arrow keys.

So did UbisoftPosted Jul 8th 2008 7:30PM by Terrence StasseFiled under: News Owned. Literally. The stylized look of the Sin City movie was (and still is) quite iconic. With the second movie yet to be made, Frank Miller tied up shooting The Spirit, and now the purchasing of the studio that does the effects, just how much influence does that style hold for the future? After its acquisition by Ubisoft, Hybride Technologies will supposedly continue to work with its movie partners, but will also work on bringing some of Ubisoft's IP's to the big screen. While this does seem quite out of character for a video game publisher, and it seems even weirder considering how Tom Clancy happy Ubisoft is, but it does open some interesting doors for that Prince of Persia movie.Tags: prince-of-persia, prince-of-persia-movie, sin-city, ubisoftSourcePermalinkPrint thisWith HP wireless printers, you could have printed this from any room in the house.Live wirelessly.

Posts with tag 800wTreo 800w gets updated, USB and battery main beneficiariesby Chris Ziegler, posted Sep 4th 2008 @ 2:42PM Though the Treo Pro has tempered pretty much any love we'd had for the suddenly ancient-looking 800w, we've got to hand it to Palm -- they've been on the ball with software updates since the phone's release a month and a half ago. The latest, which Palm calls "highly recommended for all Treo 800w devices," fixes problems with the detection of certain USB accessories and the inability to charge a completely dead battery (and don't worry, they've posted a trick for getting it charged enough to install the update). What's more, this particular patch can be applied over the air simply by visiting a URL, which is exactly what we like to hear.[Via Palm Infocenter]ReadPermalinkEmail this9 CommentsPalm Treo 800w and Treo Pro accessories revealed, boredom hard to fend offby Chris Ziegler, posted Aug 28th 2008 @ 8:50PM Regardless of brand or model, one of the very first accessories many smartphone owners start rifling through the parts bin for is an extended battery of some sort. Unfortunately, Palm either doesn't know that or doesn't care, because a glance through its fresh round of accessories for the 800w and Pro doesn't reveal any. What we do see is a leather sleeve case for the 800w -- fancy! -- along with a "micro" charger that comes bundled with a spare battery. Depending on just how "micro" we're talking about, that could be a decent investment. It's not the most exciting group of SKUs, but for Treo fans, excitement is pretty hard to come by anyway.ReadPermalinkEmail this13 CommentsiTreo 800p available on eBay: L@@Kby Joshua Topolsky, posted Aug 17th 2008 @ 10:26PM Well whaddya know? The iTreo 800p is finally selling on eBay! We thought the day would never come that we could actually get our hands on this totally sweet -- and absolutely real -- phone. Man were we wrong. Sure, the listing says you're selling off a Treo 800W, but given the large amount of completely reassuring blue text, scrolling text, and large font text, we'll happily accept that we will, in fact, receive the device pictured above via UPS Next Day Air. So, yes. Yes. We will "buy it now" for $349.99, safe in the knowledge that by this time tomorrow, we'll be the only guy on our block busting out the iTreo 800p at parties, pool halls, and any place else where all the happenin' stuff happens. Thanks "naseemajid" -- you're A+++++ in our book. Update: It appears the eBay auction has been pulled. We can't imagine why.[Thanks, Spencer]ReadPermalinkEmail this9 CommentsPalm update enables Bluetooth voice dialing on Treo 800wby Chris Ziegler, posted Jul 29th 2008 @ 10:51AM Screaming names into Jawbones -- while undoubtedly relaxing and a great source of stress relief -- hasn't been particularly effective at accomplishing anything for early 800w owners on Sprint who've discovered that their devices don't support voice dialing via Bluetooth out of the gate. Fortunately, Palm's been crazy on the ball with this one, releasing an update this week all quick-like to get the feature enabled. Don't let that stop you from screaming random names in public, of course.[Via wmpoweruser.com]ReadPermalinkEmail this8 Comments Palm Treo 800w reviewby Joshua Topolsky, posted Jul 24th 2008 @ 2:59PM We'd been hearing rumors about the Treo 800w for what seemed like ages. Between the clatter of "Zeppelin" talk, glimpses of a new model during Gates' last CES keynote, and the ever-persistent idea that a fresh new Palm phone is just around the corner, it wasn't exactly a mind-blowing surprise when the new model finally came to light (of course, Sprint selling it a day early didn't help either). Now we've had a chance to spend some quality time with the company's latest foray into the world of Windows Mobile, and we'd like to share our deepest thoughts and inner-most feelings on the device.Continue reading Palm Treo 800w reviewPermalinkEmail this81 CommentsPalm Treo 800w for Sprint unboxing and hands-onby Joshua Topolsky, posted Jul 14th 2008 @ 8:30AM If you've been really eager, it's possible you already bought one of these. If you haven't, then here's your chance to see Palm's latest Windows Mobile phone from just about every angle you could possibly imagine. We've got the company's new enterprise-themed phone in-hand (and on-table), and we're currently putting it through its paces. Take a look at the gallery below for a slew of pictures, and stay tuned for a review from us coming soon.Gallery: Palm Treo 800w for Sprint unboxing and hands-onPermalinkEmail this46 CommentsPalm's Treo 800w now available online from Sprintby Joshua Topolsky, posted Jul 13th 2008 @ 1:45PM We're not sure if you check most mobile provider's sites every ten minutes or so (like we do), but if you did, you would have noticed that the latest Palm Windows Mobile device -- the Treo 800w -- is available for purchase at Sprint's online store. The phone, which features a 320 x 320 screen, EV-DO Rev. A, WiFi, and GPS, is currently listing for $249.99 after a $250 instant savings, $100 mail-in rebate, and two-year contract. So if you've been absolutely, positively dying to get your hands on this thing -- now's your chance.[Via Phone Scoop]ReadPermalinkEmail this11 CommentsPalm's Treo 800w being received, hands-on pics to prove itby Darren Murph, posted Jul 11th 2008 @ 5:46PM Last we knew, a 436-page Treo 800w manual popped up from deep within the confines of Sprint. Fast forward a few days, and a few diehards are already trumpeting the receipt of their precious new Palm. Yep, that handset you see above is indeed the 800w, and if you care to ask some early adopters how things are going, feel free to hit the read link and surf on over to the forums.ReadPermalinkEmail this8 Comments Sprint's Treo 800w manual goes online, all 436 spellbinding pages of itby Chris Ziegler, posted Jul 8th 2008 @ 12:58PM Very rarely does a Palm handset go fully under the radar all the way through to the official announcement (if ever?), and now that we have a user's manual, we can pretty much declare the impending Treo 800w fully, completely, and utterly scooped. This is definitely the real deal, too, coming straight off Sprint's site -- not to say anyone would go to the trouble of faking their own -- and unveils no real surprises that we can see. The usual Windows Mobile 6.1 interface with Palm customizations, conservative styling (we're being generous there), and typical array of Sprint add-ons like Sprint TV are going to make this a safe, easy choice for the well-starched suit in your life, and that's about it. Not to say we have a problem with well-starched suits; Engadget corporate policy requires that we wear them at all times, actually. [Warning: PDF link][Thanks, Josh]ReadPermalinkEmail this3 CommentsSprint to get a head start over Verizon on Treo 800w sales?by Chris Ziegler, posted Jul 6th 2008 @ 10:42PM Continuing a tradition observed by the 755p, it looks like Sprint has every intention of jumping out ahead of Verizon just a little bit on the imminent Treo 800w launch. It's no secret that Verizon will be picking it up, of course, but Sprint is flaunting in what appears to be some internal documentation that it'll be featuring the latest Palm device for a good 2-3 months ahead of time. What we don't know is whether Sprint knows this because it has signed up for a period of exclusivity, or because they've done a little... ahem, "research" on their CDMA rival and discovered that Big Red's network validation isn't as far along. The Spy vs. Spy lover in us hopes it's the latter.ReadPermalinkEmail this12 Comments Sprint launching Treo 800w, red Curve on July 13?by Chris Ziegler, posted Jun 23rd 2008 @ 1:31PM Inventory paperwork coming out of Sprint suggests that the launch date for the Treo 800w has actually moved up about a week from the last rumor, pegging general availability of the latest Palm kit for July 13. That will likely beat Verizon's launch -- just as Sprint did with the Centro -- and position it for the rather unenviable task of trying to score some modicum of fanfare in the midst of Apple's July 11 iPhone 3G onslaught. It's hard to argue that these two are competing for the same target audience, but even so, it seems like there's a healthy buffer around the 11th that most carriers are going to want to avoid for launching important devices (as any Treo inevitably is, no matter how lukewarm the styling may be).Also notable on the inventory sheet is a mention of a red BlackBerry Curve launching on the same day, giving chronic emailers an option that's just a little more playful than the titanium trim currently available. Two devices from legendary lineages renowned for the quality of their keyboards launching on the same carrier on the same day? Yeah, no complaints here.[Via WMExperts]ReadPermalinkEmail this17 CommentsVerizon slide deck reveals Verizon i770, Palm 800w, fun factsby Chris Ziegler, posted Jun 2nd 2008 @ 9:04AM Sandwiched between a pair of overdue TPS reports in our desk's inbox this morning was this little gem, a glossy Verizon presentation filled with magical, exotic wonders hailing from a place and time not too far from our own. For starters, we're guessing that the giant "ID NOT FINAL" label here means that the Samsung i770 won't look quite like this nightmarish blue slab of death by the time it's released, but even if it does, we're happy to report that it'll still be sporting the GSM radio for global service we've been hearing about all along.We've got a bit in here about the WiFi-equipped Treo 800w landing on Verizon in the third quarter, too, a device more frequently whispered in the sam

Syntax-Brillian looks to streamline operations, eliminate some positionsby Darren Murph, posted Apr 22nd 2008 at 8:57AMAs evidenced by the rash of partnerships entered into by Syntax-Brillian in the past several months, the company is aiming to "undertake a series of strategic initiatives to position [it] for future growth." Looking beyond the corporate speak, you'll find plans to "simplify its network of supplier relationships through which it develops and manufactures its Olevia and Vivitar product lines, streamline its channel partnerships to focus on a more targeted group of customers within Syntax-Brillian's current base of 3,000 retail and online partners, and eliminate positions representing an approximate 20-percent reduction in overhead costs." Unfortunately, we're not told exactly how many employees will be sent packing, but the firm is expecting the workforce reductions to result in "annualized savings of approximately $4 million in operating costs."Read PermalinkEmail this2 CommentsFiled under: Industry, Displays, Olevia, OthersTags: business, operations, partner, partnership, Syntax Brillian, Syntax-Brillian, SyntaxBrillianRelevant Posts Netflix inks deals with ABC / CBS, current TV shows streaming soon (30 days ago - 14 Comments) Analyst predicts "dramatic" drop in Blu-ray sales during Q4 (3 days ago - 40 Comments) Is Netflix a better indicator of Blu-ray's success than Nielsen?

Skooba makes with the pictures of TSA-friendly bags (update: not really)by Nilay Patel, posted Jul 8th 2008 at 9:01AM The TSA got a lot of frequent travelers fairly excited a couple months ago when it announced that it was soliciting bag manufacturers for "checkpoint-friendly" designs that would allow laptop owners to leave their machines safely tucked away as they passed through security, but we didn't know what any of these bags would look like until now. As you'd expect, Skooba's first design, the Checkthrough, is pretty minimalist, in keeping with the requirements that approved bags not have any straps or zippers and not feature any space for items that could interfere with the X-ray image. That also means it's pretty useless if you only want to schlep one bag around, so it looks like we're stuck with the Bucket Dance for now -- hey TSA, would pockets on the sides be such a threat to our nation's security? Just a thought.PS.- We're hoping against hope that nasty "Checkthrough" logo isn't actually printed on the bag, but given some of the TSA experiences we've had, we'd half expect it to be there as a cue for screeners let the bag pass through.Update: Skooba's CEO let us know that this still isn't the checkthrough bag, just another illustration (sigh) and that the "the actual bag will be a full-featured, top-of the-line ballistic nylon business case, packed with cool and unique bells and whistles." Alright, so let's see it then.Read PermalinkEmail this41 CommentsFiled under: Misc.

I got the "Missile Shaped" modelReply NeutralMatt @ Jul 8th 2008 9:24AMMy friend bought some of those special locks that the TSA can open so they don't have to cut them off. When he picked up his bag in Philly, the locks were gone, and there was a note inside saying they had to cut them off.This bag MIGHT be useful if you could be guaranteed that every TSA agent would recognize and understand the purpose of it. Oh, they need to figure out a way to get a strap on it. Maybe some kind of quick release so you can pop the strap off and toss it in a basket? For now, I'll keep my normal bag.Reply NeutralaardWolf @ Jul 8th 2008 9:25AMDoes this mean no pockets for the charger? I guess I'll have to start working on a nuclear powered laptop. All I need is some weapons grade uranium. I wonder how that will go over with airport security...Reply Highest RankedGrey @ Jul 8th 2008 9:46AMGod Bless the TSA... last time I flew, they ask me to remove my jacket.I do.Then they ask me "Sir, please remove your jacket."I look at my jacket in the tub, and then at the tubby man in front of me, blink, and shrug.I take off my sweatshirt.Then they ask me "Sir, if you don't remove your jacket, you will be detained.... please"Now it's a toss up. So I ask him. "Do I take off this jacket? (pointing at my unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt) or this one? (pointing at my pants)". I start taking off my pants-jacket. I also begin to loudly let the other passengers around me know to take off their pants-jackets, too.They let me through, but not until I took off my rayon hawaiian jacket.The skies are safe for another day.

I can't wait.Reply NeutralJake @ Jul 8th 2008 9:38AMWhy didn't they just make a big ziplock bag? Those things are magic. My wife had a lipstick in her purse. Oh no, said the TSA guy, that's not allowed. Unsafe, he said. You need a ziplock bag. So she walked forty paces back into the airport, got a .25c ziplock bag from the Lebanese woman working at the magazine shop, put her lipstick in the ziplock bag and walked back. The TSA guy says, okay, you can go through now.A cosmic level of stupidity that is nothing but astonishing. And it seems, universal when it comes to TSA. Reply NeutralDarak @ Jul 8th 2008 9:39AMSeems to me you could still put a pocket on one side and then designate that side as the bottom side through the xray?Reply NeutralRCook @ Jul 8th 2008 9:46AMI traveled to Rome earlier this year (March) and the TSA is way behind the game, Heathrow is already implementing a leave-the-laptop-in-the-bag program and there was no restriction at all on the bag. My Swiss Gear backpack was waived through no problem and there has to be 10+ zippers/straps/pockets for chargers etc. The whole TSA mentality is utter BS it's so draconian compared to the rest of the world (excluding Gatwick, they actually are worse) and the most grating bit is that no two TSA checkpoints use the same standards. Reply NeutralMichael @ Jul 8th 2008 9:57AMOnly a matter of time before we have to remove the hard drive, the ram and any over forma of removalables from the laptop before it goes through.Reply NeutralAnthony @ Jul 8th 2008 10:03AMLaptop is the least of my concerns when traveling. Truly it takes 5 seconds to take mine out, put it into the bin & move on.The big hassle for me are belts. I even switched to slip on shoes to make that process easier.I have sunglasses that make it through & a steel watch, but that buckle always does me in. A polycarbonite buckle I'd totally go for...

Can get them at your nearest emergency responder supplier. I'm sure there are other manufacturers too. Neutralwongoz @ Jul 8th 2008 10:06AMHmmm, i wonder if there's any difference between what they use at checkpoints in the UK and in the USA, because here in London, you're not required to take your laptop out anymore. It's a relatively new development that i've noticed, something they put in place in the last 6-12 months.Reply Neutralapplemanc @ Jul 8th 2008 10:18AMHeathrow T5 already has something like this for any and all laptop bags - no need to take them out of your bag...at least one reason to travel through that terminal... Highest RankedHMoth84 @ Jul 8th 2008 10:23AMI've flown quite a bit during the last few months and I generally get by with leaving my MBP in a sleeve so it doesn't get scratched up. I had a TSA agent tell me I could leave it in the sleeve on one occasion. Is there any regulation regarding what kind of bags we currently can leave a laptop in or is it up to the agent on hand?The laptop sleeve is probably fine because it doesn't inhibit viewing of the machine by x-ray.Reply NeutralRCook @ Jul 8th 2008 11:08AMX-Rays aren't inhibited by much other than lead. It's not the bag that the laptop is in, it's the training of the screener and the equipment in my opinion. Look as I and others have stated Heathrow does not require you to take your laptop out of any bag period, go to Gatwick however and you do need to take your laptop out (or you did 4 months ago). My Dell is not physically different here in the US and then somehow changes when I get to Europe so why the vast differences in procedure? It's all to placate Joe Sixpack who rarely travels and believes that anyone with a tan is a terrorist. There have been measures in place in Eur

Always like to find the most distant site I want to see, and work out the public transport there & back. Usually gives me a good sense of bearings.Here at home in the US, historically it was a lot of Hertz/Avis/Budget maps, then switching to pre-printed Google Maps & routing, then to my iPhone. While handy, the iPhone's lag time to pull up the next zoomed view, and lack of turn-by-turn sucks!I bought my ex-girlfriend one of the Tom-Tom One's, as I was tired of the random phone calls from her asking for directions to one place or another.

In order to navigate a place without a map, I try to find a large landmark of some sort and get my bearings from that, and then just explore explore explore, preferably on foot, or bike, until I can find a large number of places easily. For example, when I moved to Lawrence, KS, I used I-70 as my east-west landmark, and also the northern boundary of my explorations until I was more comfortable.Reply 7Jul 8th 2008 @ 1:32PM BB said...I usually learn my way around a new city by getting lost a lot....the GPS seems like a better way.Reply 8Jul 8th 2008 @ 1:32PM Syd said...I use laminated foldaway maps.

The two iLife '09 apps that have changed the most are garnering the lion's share of excitement this week. iMovie and iPhoto have some rather dramatic improvements, and I'll detail the iPhoto changes here.Before you install, please note that the iLife '09 setup will nuke your older iLife apps. You'll need your original install disc to revert. I ran a Spotlight search and those old iLife apps are nowhere to be found. If you think you might want to roll back, be sure to back up your apps and your iPhoto library beforehand.When you start up iPhoto for the first time it updates your libraries and starts an immediate search for faces in your photos. That search goes on in the background, so you can do other things with iPhoto at the same time. Here's a rundown on the new features:The most technically advanced feature is Faces. iPhoto now does some face recognition to help you automatically find people in your bushel of images. You start by identifying a face, and you enter the person's name. iPhoto will then suggest matches in your library, and you can confirm them with a click. iPhoto generates a cork board where you can see one example of each face you have identified. Double-click on that face and it displays all the other faces that match. The technology is not perfect. It didn't get all the matches right, but when it was wrong I'd have to admit the person it found had a similar face. To try and trick it, I showed it a picture of a parrot. Although there were many similar shots of the same parrot, iPhoto utterly failed to match any of them. I think Faces wants human faces (although there are examples of penguins being recognized, and Mac|Life has tested it out successfully on feline faces).Check out the gallery for some close ups of iPhoto features and controls, and read on for more notes on the updated features.Gallery: iPhoto '09 GalleryRead more ?Tags: Facebook, Flickr, iLife 09, Ilife09, iPhoto 09, photo editing, slide showsSourceEmail thisShareComments (2)Filed under: Apple Corporate, Apple HistoryMark Papermaster to serve as Apple's Senior Vice President of Devices Hardware Engineeringby Dave Caolo on Jan 27th, 2009Earlier today, Apple announced that Mark Papermaster will become their Senior Vice President of Devices Hardware Engineering on April 24th. As such, he'll hold the reigns of the iPod and iPhone engineering departments. As you may remember, Papermaster was recently involved in a lawsuit when IBM stated that his accepting the position would be a violation of their own noncompetitive agreement, citing fears that he'd divulge IBM trade secrets once inside 1 Infinite Loop. The case was finally settled, and while Apple has declined to comment on the details, IBM told CNET:"IBM and Mr. Papermaster have now agreed on a resolution of the lawsuit under which Mr. Papermaster may not begin employment with Apple until April 24, 2009, six months after leaving IBM, and will remain subject thereafter to all of his contractual and other legal duties to IBM, including the obligation not to use or disclose IBM's confidential information."Apple started courting Papermaster in 2008, and he finally made the jump to "...the opportunity of a lifetime."

The filing, with 358 pages of drawings and Steve Jobs as its first author, comprehensively describes the iPhone operating system's interface, and how hardware on the phone interprets finger movements and taps as instructions for the software. The filing makes liberal use of the word "heuristics" -- a trial-and-error-based engineering technique that reduces the calculations necessary to arrive at a solution to a problem. Heuristics may not always be correct, but good heuristics result in something at least close to the right answer. This patent, combined with Tim Cook's statement about protecting Apple's intellectual property during their first-quarter conference call, is a shot across the bow for Palm and their new Pre smartphone. Cook said that Apple would aggressively defend their IP, and a patent covering that IP is an important shield for Apple. AppleInsider also notes that the patent covers features not seen on the iPhone, but interestingly are critical features of the Palm Pre. For example, Apple's patent mentions a touch-sensitive area that does not display visual output: a dead-ringer for the Pre's gesture area, separate from the touch screen. The Pre uses multi-touch gestures as part of its webOS interface. If the technologies in Palm's devices are found to infringe on Apple's patents, Palm will either have to change the way the device works, or license the technology from Apple. The likelihood of Apple granting Palm a license is slim to none.

It might be Ubiquity pluginby Robert Palmer on Jan 27th, 2009While this might not be news for everyone, reader Brad and I seemed to be having the same problem: Using Firefox 3, we would see the "unsupported browser" message pictured while trying to use me.com. Obviously, Firefox 3 is a supported browser for MobileMe. A TUAW colleague gave it a try and found everything to work fine. Brad and I compared notes about what plugins we have in common, and found that Ubiquity was causing the problem. It turned out to be related to the user-agent string: MobileMe uses the user-agent string to determine what browser you're using, and Ubiquity tacks on an extra bit at the end. For example, without Ubiquity installed, it shows Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5. With Ubiquity installed, it said Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5 Ubiquity/0.1.5. (Emphasis mine.) Since MobileMe doesn't know what to do with the extra Ubiquity text at the end, it thinks you have an unsupported browser, and shows you that error. The good news is that you can fix this, thanks to a simple technique from Tim Jarrett, and still use both Ubiquity and MobileMe. Read on to find out how. Thanks, Brad!Read more ?Tags: browser, error, firefox, mobileme, ubiquity, unsupported, user-agent, useragent, web apps, WebAppsSourceEmail thisShareComments (5) Filed under: Software, iPhone, App Store, iPod touchFirst Look: Fliq Tasksby Steven Sande on Jan 27th, 2009Mark/Space has added another member to their rapidly growing family of iPhone file transfer applications. The new baby in the family is Fliq Tasks, which joins Fliq for Mac and Windows, Fliq Notes, and Fliq for iPhone. As with Fliq for iPhone and Fliq Notes, Fliq Tasks is available in the App Store for free (click opens iTunes). Mark/Space is providing their iPhone applications for free, while charging for the Mac and Windows "host" software. Fliq for Mac and Fliq for Windows are available for US$19.95 (US$49.95 for a 3-pack) each. If you want to transfer files between iPhones over a Wi-Fi network, all you need are the free iPhone apps. When you add the functionality of transferring information to and from your Mac or PC, you'll have to purchase the desktop applications.Fliq Tasks is a full-featured task manager with big, clear, and easy-to-use interface similar to that found in Fliq Notes. Tasks can be listed by name, date due, category, and priority. You can add categories to better match them to your requirements, and there's a simple setting to hide completed tasks. Using the soon-to-be-released Fliq 1.1 for Mac or Windows, you'll be able to send or receive tasks from your iPhone to your big computer.Current Fliq users should be sure to give Fliq Tasks a try, and the price is definitely right.

Microsoft sez next-gen Zune hardware / software is still "on track"by Darren Murph, posted Jan 28th 2009 at 12:27AM Given just how shaky the economy as a whole has been of late, Microsoft's sour news in relation to the Zune isn't quite as shocking as it might be otherwise. That said, plenty of outlets publicly voiced their concern for the future of the line, but now Microsoft has hit back with assurance that everything's still moving ahead according to plan. In a recent interview, Adam Sohn, the Zune's director of marketing, said rather defensively that "every time anything comes up, there is a set of people who pull a Chicken Little and say, 'The Sky is Falling. Zune is dead.' " He continued by stating rather outrightly that Microsoft was "still on track to deliver the next generation of Zune innovation in software and hardware," noting that the planning was "fast and furious" and that "progress" would be delivered this calendar year. Welp, that settles that, huh?[Thanks, Roger]Read PermalinkEmail this11 CommentsSirius XM plans official rate hike for March 11thby Darren Murph, posted Jan 27th 2009 at 10:54PM Yep, the deed's done. Er, it will be come March 11th, and there's no avoiding it. Unless, of course, you lock in a lower rate now, but we suppose that's the point of Sirius XM coming out with this information over a month in advance. As of now, both XM and Sirius' separate websites have "lockin" pages hosted up, with XM's noting that after March 11th, subscriptions will no longer include internet listening gratis. For those who renew their existing contract now, you'll be grandfathered in and continue to listen for free; after that deadline, it'll be $2.99 per month for the premium (and only) stream. Over at Sirius, we're told that the SIRIUS Everything plan will rise from $6.99 per month to $8.99 per month unless you lock yourself in prior to the eleventh day of March.

Send in your sightings (with screen grab!) to screengrabs at engadget dt com. It kind of figures, right? Famed American Idol judge Simon Cowell sports a phone crafted by a Finnish handset maker. We know, that's not quite England, but it's close enough. In tonight's episode, he proceeded to tell the iPhone that it simply "wasn't the complete package" while alluding to the lack of copy / paste, the T-Mobile G1 that it was "too young to be taken seriously" and the BlackBerry Storm that it just "pushed his buttons the wrong way." Ultimately, Paula, Randy and even Kara were coaxed into agreeing, sending the N95 8GB to Hollywood for one more shot at stardom.

That's not to say we'd dare consider switching from CDMA or GSM to the old-school PTT airwaves, but hey, it's good to know the Nextels and Mikes of the world are still getting theirs in 2009. This year should see the release of the Motorola i465, the very first iDEN Moto to score a QWERTY keyboard -- and no, it's not Windows Mobile or anything fancy like that. Instead, it seems they'll be taking the low-tech route by grafting a full keyboard onto a dumbphone, a strategy that's really caught on with many of the world's carriers in the past year as they've looked to boost messaging revenue with cool, affordable phones geared toward a younger segment. It's got Bluetooth 2.0 and a lowly VGA cam, but other than that, specs, release dates, and target carriers are all a mystery to us -- so if you're in that curious group of folks who text and push-to-talk like monsters and can't tolerate anything out of Waterloo, keep your eyes peeled.Gallery: i465 to be first Motorola iDEN phone with QWERTYPermalinkEmail this39 Comments Verizon touts 1 million BlackBerry Storms sold to dateby Jacob Schulman, posted Jan 27th 2009 at 7:36PM Well, it looks like the BlackBerry faithful have come out in full force to snag "Verizon's best-selling device," after all. Despite RIM's nightmarish "new reality," of half-baked firmware and broken dreams, Verizon has made it known that the latest 'Berry has grown to a full 1 million units sold between the November 21st launch and the end of January. Apparently the ever-leaking updates have kept enough people satisfied with the keyboardless device to reach this milestone, so we'll just keep our fingers crossed that the updates don't stop flowing and this powerhouse becomes the titan it has the potential to become.

Their latest offering, Tag Junior, is for the two- to four-year old age range, and it builds on the company's previous Tag Reading System tech. The toy "reads" aloud (via downloadable MP3s) using an infrared camera that can recognize letters and words on the page, and can store up to five books' worth of material at a time. The custom-made books for the device include such august characters as Winnie the Pooh and Dora the Explorer. Tag Junior will be available this summer for $34.99, with each book running $10.99. Anything that keeps them off the video games for a few hours a day is probably pretty cool.

If you can't quite make it out, that's Quake running (rather well, we might add) on the BUG and, yes, it is indeed being controlled by a Rock Band guitar thanks to the newly developed Xpad driver, which should work equally well with a standard Xbox 360 controller if you're a little less ambitious.

LG Electronics has just issued a voluntary recall of around 45,000 LG 150 phones in Canada, and for whatever reason, Bell Mobility has agreed to assist in cleaning up the mess. Of course, it probably helps that basically every single one was used by a Bell subscriber, but we digress. Reportedly, LG was "notified by one of the independent bodies responsible for the certification of mobile phones that the LG 150 mobile phone is no longer certified as meeting the Radio Standards Specifications 102 (RSS 102), Radio Frequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus," thus LG decided it best to go ahead and make this here move.

To make things a bit more manageable, he pared things down to nine drives from the initial group of 21, and formatted and reformatted each with FAT32, NTFS and ExFAT file systems. As with last time, he found that the OCZ and Super Talent drives proved to be the best overall performers and, while ExFAT did come out on top in a number of benchmarks, he still recommends FAT32 due to its greater compatibility and still decent performance.

I mean, I understand not liking a phone, but to hate a device like this so passionately, that's just crazy to me.When I buy a phone, I take into consideration the phone's software as well as hardware and I think the iPhone has a good compromise of both. I'm currently sportin' a Nokia n80 and would not mind at all to get an iPhone 3G (am I the only person who hates saying that? Yeah, it's still and iPhone 2 to me). On my friend's iPhone, the internet experience is amazing and that's enough to win me...although the keyboard experience for me was enough to lose me, too (I've been told I have big fingers). And for me the lack of MMS and video recording is a non-issue. I honestly cannot remember the last time I sent an MMS or snapped a video (although the videocam on the n80 is quite impressive at the highest setting).Again, I guess this comes down to a case of to each his own.Or if we're being ultra PC.....To each his or her own.

Skooba makes with the pictures of TSA-friendly bags (update: not really)by Nilay Patel, posted Jul 8th 2008 at 9:01AM The TSA got a lot of frequent travelers fairly excited a couple months ago when it announced that it was soliciting bag manufacturers for "checkpoint-friendly" designs that would allow laptop owners to leave their machines safely tucked away as they passed through security, but we didn't know what any of these bags would look like until now. As you'd expect, Skooba's first design, the Checkthrough, is pretty minimalist, in keeping with the requirements that approved bags not have any straps or zippers and not feature any space for items that could interfere with the X-ray image. That also means it's pretty useless if you only want to schlep one bag around, so it looks like we're stuck with the Bucket Dance for now -- hey TSA, would pockets on the sides be such a threat to our nation's security? Just a thought.PS.- We're hoping against hope that nasty "Checkthrough" logo isn't actually printed on the bag, but given some of the TSA experiences we've had, we'd half expect it to be there as a cue for screeners let the bag pass through.Update: Skooba's CEO let us know that this still isn't the checkthrough bag, just another illustration (sigh) and that the "the actual bag will be a full-featured, top-of the-line ballistic nylon business case, packed with cool and unique bells and whistles." Alright, so let's see it then.Read PermalinkEmail this41 CommentsFiled under: Misc.

When he picked up his bag in Philly, the locks were gone, and there was a note inside saying they had to cut them off.This bag MIGHT be useful if you could be guaranteed that every TSA agent would recognize and understand the purpose of it. Oh, they need to figure out a way to get a strap on it. Maybe some kind of quick release so you can pop the strap off and toss it in a basket? For now, I'll keep my normal bag.Reply NeutralaardWolf @ Jul 8th 2008 9:25AMDoes this mean no pockets for the charger? I guess I'll have to start working on a nuclear powered laptop.

So I ask him. "Do I take off this jacket? (pointing at my unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt) or this one? (pointing at my pants)". I start taking off my pants-jacket. I also begin to loudly let the other passengers around me know to take off their pants-jackets, too.They let me through, but not until I took off my rayon hawaiian jacket.The skies are safe for another day.

I can't wait.Reply NeutralJake @ Jul 8th 2008 9:38AMWhy didn't they just make a big ziplock bag? Those things are magic. My wife had a lipstick in her purse. Oh no, said the TSA guy, that's not allowed. Unsafe, he said. You need a ziplock bag. So she walked forty paces back into the airport, got a .25c ziplock bag from the Lebanese woman working at the magazine shop, put her lipstick in the ziplock bag and walked back. The TSA guy says, okay, you can go through now.A cosmic level of stupidity that is nothing but astonishing. And it seems, universal when it comes to TSA. Reply NeutralDarak @ Jul 8th 2008 9:39AMSeems to me you could still put a pocket on one side and then designate that side as the bottom side through the xray?Reply NeutralRCook @ Jul 8th 2008 9:46AMI traveled to Rome earlier this year (March) and the TSA is way behind the game, Heathrow is already implementing a leave-the-laptop-in-the-bag program and there was no restriction at all on the bag. My Swiss Gear backpack was waived through no problem and there has to be 10+ zippers/straps/pockets for chargers etc. The whole TSA mentality is utter BS it's so draconian compared to the rest of the world (excluding Gatwick, they actually are worse) and the most grating bit is that no two TSA checkpoints use the same standards. Reply NeutralMichael @ Jul 8th 2008 9:57AMOnly a matter of time before we have to remove the hard drive, the ram and any over forma of removalables from the laptop before it goes through.Reply NeutralAnthony @ Jul 8th 2008 10:03AMLaptop is the least of my concerns when traveling.

Neutralwongoz @ Jul 8th 2008 10:06AMHmmm, i wonder if there's any difference between what they use at checkpoints in the UK and in the USA, because here in London, you're not required to take your laptop out anymore. It's a relatively new development that i've noticed, something they put in place in the last 6-12 months.Reply Neutralapplemanc @ Jul 8th 2008 10:18AMHeathrow T5 already has something like this for any and all laptop bags - no need to take them out of your bag...at least one reason to travel through that terminal... NeutralHMoth84 @ Jul 8th 2008 10:23AMI've flown quite a bit during the last few months and I generally get by with leaving my MBP in a sleeve so it doesn't get scratched up. I had a TSA agent tell me I could leave it in the sleeve on one occasion. Is there any regulation regarding what kind of bags we currently can leave a laptop in or is it up to the agent on hand?The laptop sleeve is probably fine because it doesn't inhibit viewing of the machine by x-ray.Reply NeutralRCook @ Jul 8th 2008 11:08AMX-Rays aren't inhibited by much other than lead. It's not the bag that the laptop is in, it's the training of the screener and the equipment in my opinion. Look as I and others have stated Heathrow does not require you to take your laptop out of any bag period, go to Gatwick however and you do need to take your laptop out (or you did 4 months ago). My Dell is not physically different here in the US and then somehow changes when I get to Europe so why the vast differences in procedure? It's all to placate Joe Sixpack who rarely travels and believes that anyone with a tan is a terrorist. There have been measures in place in Europe decades before 9/11 that were just as effective yet not nearly as invasive to travel. The TSA is nothing more than the physical arm of politics 'getting tough on

Those are actually the specs and tasty price of the long-awaited Eee 901, so we're going to say that ASUS's endless stream of minor new Eee models has everyone confused, and that the 901 looks like it's ready to drop -- is this the Eee that'll finally make you take the plunge?Update: NewEgg just went live with the 12GB XP-based 901 for $599.999999. Shipping today. Also, Amazon is now listing XP and Linux-based 901s for the same price although still as pre-orders.

Still, it looks like they dropped the memory to 16G in the old 900, put in a 4-cell battery, and dropped the price to $399. Unless the Atom is way crazy better than the old CPU and you really want a 6-cell battery, the revised 900 looks like a much better deal at $200 less.Reply NeutralMarvin Quach @ Jul 8th 2008 10:55AMAw man!

The camera -- which ships in August -- will clock in at $699.99, and comes bundled with the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens, rechargeable battery pack and charger, a handful of cables, and the assurance that your pictures will look markedly better than the ones you took with that camera you bought on vacation that was bright yellow and housed in cardboard. Check out the gallery below for a closer look at both the black and silver versions.Gallery: Canon's EOS Rebel XS DSLR gets official, a price tagRead PermalinkEmail this27 CommentsFiled under: Digital CamerasTags: breaking news, BreakingNews, camera, canon, dslr, eos rebel xs, EosRebelXs, rebel xs, RebelXsSubscribe to these commentsReader Comments (Page 1 of 1) NeutralMetkis @ Jul 8th 2008 10:40AMMore affordable than the Nikon for sure... but I still want that D700 (or D300)/Reply Neutralchych @ Jul 8th 2008 10:52AMQuite expensive for a low end DSLR. Just looking around Amazon for current low-end DSLRs:Canon XS - $699 (little lower street price likely)Nikon D60 - $629Sony A200 - $499Sony A300 - $599Pentax K200D - $646With only the Canon/Sony a300 having live view. I'm surprised that Sony is actually cheaper.Reply NeutralRex @ Jul 8th 2008 11:21AMThe K200D from Pentax also has live view. Neutralchych @ Jul 8th 2008 1:10PMCan't seem to find anywhere that says the K200D has live view! Neutralonin @ Jul 8th 2008 1:26PMI have a K200D it doesn't have live view. NeutralNick @ Jul 8th 2008 2:26PMI think the Nikon D40 is still the best deal for a low-end DSLR. It can be had for $470. If that's not enough camera for you, then you might as well step up to a Canon 40D. There's no reason to shop for anything in between. Neutralgad get @ Jul 8th 2008 8:05PMSony DSLR's are crap compared to Nikons and Canons. The XS is actually a reasonable enough price when you compare it to the Nikon D60. NeutralJukka @ Jul 8th 2008 10:52AMWhere's the news in here? EOS 1000D has been on sale in Europe for almost a month now, with a price and all. Shipping will begin early next month.Reply NeutralDavid Susilo @ Jul 8th 2008 10:53AMif it streets at $599 Canadian, then there is no point for anybody buying a bridge camera such as the S5IS, G9, or anything else.Reply Neutralteamrican @ Jul 8th 2008 11:49AMThe advantage of the G9 is size. If I'm wearing shorts or a swimsuit it fits in the front pocket. The chick can easily fit it in her purse. You can't do that with the XS. If the G9 is going to be obsoleted it is going to be from the other direction, with smaller, better pocket cams that support RAW. NeutralDvS @ Jul 8th 2008 11:05PMBecause it's basically a POS, you can also get the G9 into concerts and shows, which won't always allow an SLR unless you have credentials. NeutralPatrick @ Jul 8th 2008 10:54AMGood to see that these things are finally coming with a decent kit lens. (With my XTi, I got body-only and bought this one, the 18-55 mm IS and am quite happy with it.)Reply NeutralBW @ Jul 8th 2008 10:55AMWithe the current discount at Circuitcity you could get the Xsi with same lens for about 130 more - seems to be worth the upgradeReply NeutralHTCMogul.Info @ Jul 8th 2008 11:10AMI was hoping it would be cheaper...I guess they still want to be able to get rid of their left over XTi's without dropping their price by much.Reply NeutralWill H. @ Jul 8th 2008 11:23AMI still like the XSi and the XTi, but this could be a good camera. Some have compared it to Sony and Pentax, which isn't really a good comparison, as in the long run Canon tends to be much higher quality. The lens, of course, is pretty shocking, but it is what it is. Personally I think if you can afford a DSLR you should consider getting one that's a little better, maybe a nice Nikon or a nicer Canon. Lenses can be expensive too, but it all depends on your budget and interests. If you're only half keen on a DLSR then it's also possible that you're looking for something else. I'm gonna check out the reviews of this one and see how it stacks up to others in the field, should be interesting!Reply NeutralOptigrab @ Jul 8th 2008 12:41PM"Some have compared it to Sony and Pentax, which isn't really a good comparison, as in the long run Canon tends to be much higher quality." Based upon what?"XSi Build quality = 8.0" (same as Pentax's K100d) - dpreview"In terms of build quality, the XTi has more of a "plastic" feel than other entry-level SLRs." - dcresource"...I find the XSi's body and general layout to be the least appealing of any of the current generation of entry-level cameras from the big players." - digitalcamerareview.com"the (XTi's) plastic build quality feels cheap compared to Canon's 20/30/40D/5D bodies" -photographybay.com NeutralRazor @ Jul 8th 2008 2:16PMI have to agree with Optigrab (and those reviews), the Canon low-end bodies have an incredibly cheap plastic feel. Whatever Nikon, Pentax and Sony are using simply feels better.Then again, I've never been impressed with Canon ergonomics either, particularly in their high-end models.I know that's not scientific analysis by any means, but perception is a strong motivator when an average Joe buys a product. Neutralblcskate @ Jul 8th 2008 11:33AMI purchased the XSi as Best Buy on sale for 750 and they gave me 12 % off with a coupon (reward zone members get this all the time). They said they don't normally combine offers but did it anyway. So I got the XSi w/lens for $660. I also bought a 40D w/lens at the same time and got that for $1143. The XS will have to have a lot lower street cost or the XSi will hands down be a better deal.I have seen similar deals at Circuit City as well with 10% off coupon instead of 12%. If you are in the market the XSi is a great starter camera or backup camera (as in my case). The XS looks like another good camera, but I cannot see it being worth the price until it has been on the market a few months and drops a bunch on street price.Reply Neutralblcskate @ Jul 8th 2008 11:44AMSorry I re-read my post. I got the XSI body for $660. I didn't get a lens with that. I had the lens that came with the 40D so I didn't need it. Besides the 18-55mm lens from Canon is very cheap. I would recommend something better.XSi Body 799 on sales 750 - 12% = $660XSi w/lens 899 on sale 850 - 12% = $74840D w/lens 1499 on sale 1299 - 12% = 1143 If you looking for a camera keep these in mind with Best Buy. I have seen these deals come up twice in the last 2 months. NeutralKarl Hackswell @ Jul 8th 2008 11:52AMWhy are they still making dSLRs in SILVER!!!???No one wants a silver camera, its so cheap looking. For the money I would rather buy a sony alpha. Reply Neutralgad get @ Jul 8th 2008 8:12PMApparently, people agree with you and the commenter below. Personally, I don't care about the color, as long as it's either silver or black. NeutralRobJ @ Jul 8th 2008 12:01PMI've never understood how Canon manages to sell the silver versions of their rebel cameras. Those things look straight out of the 80s. Or maybe the 90s. I'm picturing Andre Agassi with the long hair.Reply NeutralWill @ Jul 8th 2008 12:18PMDoes image stabilization suggest that the kit len isn't garbage, or is a garbage lens with a good feature thrown in?Canon isn't known for including decent lenses, so needing so spend $500 on an accessory is relevant to my purchasing decision. Maybe they're finally hit "good enough".Reply NeutralRobJ @ Jul 8th 2008 12:50PMKit lenses have come a long way... both Canon and Nikon's 18-55mm lenses are considered pretty good, or at least good enough for the average user. Here's a review:http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/canon_18-55_3p5-5p6_is_c16/ NeutralRazor @ Jul 8th 2008 2:15PMIt's all POV. 4 of my 5 lenses are f2.8 or better, so as you can guess this isn't a lens that I would be remotely happy with. But for the person just starting out with DSLRs they prolly won't care about or understand the difference, especially since the price of a good lens can easily cost more than this entire kit.My biggest peeve with this lens would be the focus ring. Rotates on focus (pain for filter use, 3mm thin, no M/A override option. These are all deal breakers for me.

So here you have it, courtesy of the french blog Gadget O'Mac, an iPhone 3G on display in a shop in Switzerland. While the shots may be blurry, we at least get to see this thing in the hands of someone other than an Apple employee, and coupled with that Portuguese leak, this should thoroughly whet your appetite for Friday. Check out a few more shots after the break.[Thanks, Florence]Read PermalinkEmail this74 CommentsFiled under: CellphonesTags: apple, breaking news, BreakingNews, iphone, iphone 3g, Iphone3g, shop, store display, StoreDisplay, swiss, switzerlandSubscribe to these commentsReader Comments (Page 1 of 2) NeutralDiGiC @ Jul 8th 2008 12:18PMI CAN:T WAIT!!!Reply Neutralxtole @ Jul 8th 2008 12:32PMENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!

It's littered with smudges and I'm sure prone to scratches. I really preferred the metal casing. Reply NeutralZak @ Jul 8th 2008 1:32PMThey went plastic because metal interferes with radio signals, such as GPS and cell tower signals. The original iPhone had a black plastic strip along the bottom of the back side for that reason, signal strength. With more antennas in the 3G iPhone, they had to make the entire back plastic. It wasn't a design decision, it was a usability decision. NeutralJay @ Jul 8th 2008 12:54PMIm only gonna buy this phone for its software, and thats it!

Eee box gets price and package detailsby Joshua Fruhlinger, posted Jul 8th 2008 at 10:32AM We know pretty much everything about Asus' Atom-powered Eee Box -- we even have a bevvy of pretty pictures -- but as of yet we didn't know exactly how much the little bugger was going to cost. Fret not, for we now can tell you that the Wii-like computer will cost ?199 ($392) -- including keyboard and mouse -- and will pack an 80GB HDD and a DVI out. It will come with Windows XP Home pre-installed while those two USB ports are confirmed. No word yet on stateside pricing and release date, but we'll keep our eyes open.[Thanks, Joe]Read PermalinkEmail this33 CommentsFiled under: DesktopsTags: asus, eee, eee box, eee pc, EeeBox, eeepc Subscribe to these commentsReader Comments (Page 1 of 1) NeutralMetkis @ Jul 8th 2008 10:37AMNeato.They are still putting that "lovely" logo on there I see.

Just ignore the flames coming up in front of you... NeutralAbbey @ Aug 7th 2008 11:07AMI really can't wait. Anyone else going to the J&R unboxing event?http://www.jr.com/promotion/listContent.jsp?promoName=EeeBoxDemo NeutralShadowKain @ Jul 8th 2008 10:47AMAh, one of the first atom based desktops, well mini desktop. Resembles an early thin client. I wonder how this will fare in benchmarks, when they come available. And upgradability? That is the one thing that always scares me away from small form factor desktops...Reply NeutralMike @ Jul 8th 2008 11:27AMProbably not well in the benchmarks, but hey....dont trash SFF desktops...if you build your own you can get a load of power into them... NeutralOneLove @ Jul 8th 2008 10:52AMAny open pci slots? I guess i could add 2 usb HD tuners. :)Reply NeutralJash Sayani @ Jul 8th 2008 10:58AMThe "Eee" is capturing a lot of people.. I guess ASUS is in the race now...Reply NeutralJimmy Jones @ Jul 8th 2008 10:58AMXP Home? Are you kidding me? how about throw in some Mobile version of 'buntu ? Least I can take is XP Pro .....anything aside from that, the 3e's can stay in the box at Asus shipping warehouse...Reply NeutralStrangeBum @ Jul 8th 2008 11:01AMI wouldn't mind having one of these sitting pretty using my TV for a monitor, and kicking back in bed with a wireless keyboard/mouse combo. Perfect size to not make it look like a nasty PC chilling in my home entertainment stand.Wonder if I could use the EFIX V.2 chip thing with this? That would be sweet!/And yeah, I know it's been possible for a long time, but this looks to be one of the best options out now. Reply NeutralIridium @ Jul 8th 2008 11:06AMWaaaayyyyyyy overpriced. Sure it won't have as cool of a box but you can buy much higher spec computers for the same and in fact less money.When you can buy a Quad-Core, 5GB RAM, 720gb HD, NVIDIA GPU'd, DVD burning computer for $800 or drop it down to a dual core with 2GB of RAM and integrated graphics for $399, This Eee Box doesn't really make sense.$250 maybe, $199 you've got a deal. This thing will probably be less powerfull than a four year old desktop.Reply Neutralthedesolate1 @ Jul 8th 2008 11:09AMIt serves its purpose for its aesthetics and mini ATX ( I believe) motherboard to be used as a second computer not meant for running Crysis. Maybe in the living room? or for your 10 year old script kiddy... NeutralR @ Jul 8th 2008 11:48AMWell, it doesn't make sent to YOU. But it does make sense to other people. This is a computer for people with specific needs.. Low power consumption, low heat, low noise. And very very small form factor.I want a couple of these actually. One for a development box. And another for a dedicated bit torrent/media storage box.But I do agree that it's pricey. I think it might be cheaper to build one using Intel's Atom CPU/motherboard, a mini-ITX case, and other components from Newegg. But you lose the Eee box's incredibly small form factor. Neutralpackgrog @ Jul 8th 2008 11:55AMSomewhat overpriced, yes. But the main purpose of something like this would be LOW POWER computing. It could make for a very nice media server. Those of us who pay own own electric bills can see some value in something like this.Still, drop XP and $50 from the price, and it could be even more interesting... Neutralhugoliva @ Jul 8th 2008 12:45PMIt IS overpriced, you can get a Vostro 200 slim tower at Dell for $400.00 including a 20inch monitor and a 160gb HDD.www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx?c=us&cs=04&id=vostrodt_200st&l=en&s=bsd&~tab=bundlestab Neutralabib @ Jul 8th 2008 1:54PMbut.. but.. hugo, that is one ugly piece of crap and looks out of place in ANY home entertainment setup. Neutralthedesolate1 @ Jul 8th 2008 11:06AMThis will make one hot carputer.... or cool? I dont know how much heat that atom dissipates in that tiny form factor... Reply NeutralHTCMogul.Info @ Jul 8th 2008 11:12AMI wonder if they will release a cheaper XP-less version for a lower price point, like with their laptops.Reply NeutralMasterHenky @ Jul 8th 2008 11:13AMI would pay 80 € more to invest in a Acer Aspire L5100 Ultra Small FormFactor, max. 80W Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2x 2.20GHz2048MB (2x 1024MB)250GBDVD+/-RW DLATI Radeon XPress 1250DVI/HDMI Gigabit LANUSB 2.05in1 CardReaderWindows Vista Home Premiumincl.

The Atom CPU is slow as balls. Reply NeutralStefan @ Jul 29th 2008 7:57AMThe price is for the UK market. No doubt it will be cheaper in USA, for some strange reason everything must be more expensive in Europe.

"Minefield" (previously known as BonEcho for pre-3.0 releases) is Neil Lee's custom build of Firefox. He is currently offering custom builds for: Minefield (Firefox) 3.0 for Intel Minefield (Firefox) 3.0 for PowerPC G5 Minefield (Firefox) 3.0 for PowerPC G4 Neil Lee has been offering custom builds of Firefox for many years now. They can make Firefox run a bit faster and smoother on older Macs. You can download them for free (though donations are accepted) from the BeatnikPad website.[via IGM]Tags: BonEcho, builds, custom, Firefox, Firefox 3.0, Firefox3.0, G4, G5, Intel, PowerPCSourcePrint thisWith HP wireless printers, you could have printed this from any room in the house.Live wirelessly.

Odd. ??report5Big John said 12:09PM on 7-04-2008I agree, TUAW should never post helpful tips for folks that may not have seen them before. Damn them! ??report6Tom said 12:10PM on 7-04-2008Yes, Minefield was the name of Firefox 3 nightlies pre release, now they are called GranParadiso.Reply ??report7Steve said 8:08PM on 7-04-2008@TomI'm not sure.. Gran Paradiso seems to be the codename for the nightly build of 3.0 but opening the link below (which has always given me the latest build) and unpacking it identifies it as Minefield 3.1a1prehttp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ ??report8Radu Dutzan said 8:55PM on 7-05-2008Actually, Mozilla claims both GranParadiso and Minefield are Firefox 3 codenames. They use both quite inconsistently.Nightlies and unbranded stable builds (any build not provided by Mozilla, such as architecture-optimized builds) both use the Minefield name, while internal documentation can use any of them.BonEcho was the only official codename for Firefox 2. TUAW people: these names are not assigned by the people who make these optimized builds, but by Mozilla devs. Please stop saying otherwise. ??report9CJV said 12:57PM on 7-04-2008Speaking of Firefox 3...its poor compatibility with the TUAW Web site is evident in the seriously choppy scrolling that makes TUAW difficult to read on this new version of Firefox. I have an Intel iMac running 10.4.11, and never had a problem reading TUAW when I was using Firefox 3. I emailed TUAW a few days ago about this after I updated to FF 3. Reply ??report10CJV said 12:59PM on 7-04-2008Sorry, that should have read:"I have an Intel iMac running 10.4.11, and never had a problem reading TUAW when I was using Firefox 2." Reply ??report11tim said 1:22PM on 7-04-2008Anyone else think that 'Minefield' isn't the best name for a browser, what with security being the top priority and all?Reply ??report12Mathew Duggan said 1:26PM on 7-04-2008Honestly I have been running it side by side with the original build Firefox 3 and while Minefield is a bit faster stability seems to have taken a hit on my Macbook. Reply ??report13nxiv said 1:36PM on 7-04-2008According to Asa Dotzler, Mozilla already "optimizes" all its releases, so these custom builds are meaningless. If you notice an improvement in performance when using one of these custom builds, it's probably the placebo effect. Nothing has really changed, just how you perceive it.Reply ??report14legend said 1:46PM on 7-04-2008Tim'Minefield' was a carefully chosen moniker for Firefox test builds to dissuade casual users from upgrading to potentially unstable versions that would make them think poorly of Firefox's quality. The name (and logo of a stylized bomb) was intended to be 'scary'.FYI, 'Shredder' is intended to be the name of Thunderbird test builds. Reply ??report15tim said 2:41PM on 7-04-2008@legend -That's cool and all, but now that it's for the final release (correct?), it seems that it might persuade people from using it. I suppose the type of person who would look for this would know the real deal anyway, but still, it seems similar to naming your OS 'error prone' and expecting people to use it.Reply ??report16(01) said 3:48PM on 7-04-2008I think you mean "dissuade people from using it." I don't know that the average person is going to come into contact with pre-release builds that often, and clearly they didn't have a problem hitting 26 Million downloads for FF 3. @nxiv: Neil Lee's builds have always ran better for me on my MBP than the official builds, and yes, I've compared the memory. It may not always be apparent, but the optimization does increase the speed of FF. ??report17tim said 3:52PM on 7-04-2008@(01) -Thank you, I did mean 'dissuade.' But we aren't talking about pre-release here, the final release has been named 'Minefield.' And what does the 26 million for Firefox have to do with anything? We aren't talking about Firefox either. ??report18Neil said 2:59PM on 7-04-2008I can't honestly say I feel or see any difference for the regular Firefox 3....seems 100% the same, from performance to rendering. Reply ??report19Greg said 8:34PM on 7-04-2008I don't understand why he's calling them Minefield. Minefield is the name of the nightly builds you get out of the code repository; the proper codename for Firefox 3 derivatives is Gran Paradiso.This is all from Wikipedia, btw.Reply ??report20Olivier Refalo said 12:40AM on 7-05-2008I don't understand why custom build shall be any faster that universal binaries. Right they may take less space on the disk, that because UB hold both PPC and Intel versions, now in memory... the OS picks the right exe at runtime... So I don't get the point with these special versions...Reply ??report | 1 | 2 | Most Recent | Next 20 Comments Tip of the DaySwitcher tip: The "Apple" key, aka Command key lives next to the space key and looks like this ⌘ .

Through the App Store, developers can get their applications running, but many are still frustrated by the company's draconian censorship rules, rules that forced developer John Atherton not to change his app, but to change his advertising.We've covered App Store censorship before, asin the case of David Carnoy's book that had to be edited before going live. Similarly, Atherton was required to edit the advertising for his 'Wobble' application. The app allows users to make any section of a photo jiggle when the iPhone itself is shaken. You can imagine for yourself the intended application, but the advertising video included above, as well as the text advertising the app, left no doubt. Apple required Atherton to remove any reference to "boobs" or "booty" in the advertisement. That's unfortunate as far as free speech goes, but a small price for Atherton to pay in order to keep his app in the Japanese App Store's top spot.

It's really working! The government is getting almost $1.2 million from two telemarketing companies that violated the Do Not Call Rule. Take that, suckers.Westgate and All In One Vacation Club now respectively owe $900,000 and $275,000, after repeatedly violating the Federal Trade Commission's rule against calling people on the Do Not Call (DNC) Registry. Westgate bought the phone numbers from Brandarama.com, where customers answered travel surveys without being informed they would be contacted by telemarketers. All In One got their numbers from vacation sweepstakes entries. Both companies then called people with offers of timeshares and vacation deals. We're extremely happy that telemarketers are on notice, but we do wonder why the U.S. Treasury gets to keep all the money. We're really the ones who suffer, especially when our favorite TV shows are on. How about throwing a little something our way, Treasury?

Hawks of Parma, Ohio has been arrested for allegedly raping a 12-year-old boy after meeting him via Xbox online live. On January 15, according to Cleveland's NBC affiliate, Hawks allegedly traveled to the boy's residence in Michigan, staying there with him for some time. Having been arrested Monday and charged with rape and sexual imposition, Hawks is currently being held in the Cuyahoga County Jail.While these allegations are still very much just that -- allegations -- this story is only the latest knot in a recent string of developments concerning teenagers, video games and violence. Despite a recent study concluding that violent games do not lead to violent behavior, the recent stories of the 'Halo 3' killer and the Xbox taco-slapper may suggest otherwise.

According to ArsTechnica, Netflix is reporting that many of its customers are substituting streamed movies for mailed ones, taxing the USPS less and their broadband connections more. CEO Reed Hastings is playing coy about whether this is a strong trend or just the curious behavior of early adopters.

In its recently-unveiled 2010 line, the car company is including Attention Assist, a sensory system that detects and alerts drowsy drivers.The system keeps track of 70 factors, including braking, acceleration, time, road conditions, and, most critically, the angle of the steering wheel. If the system believes the driver is falling asleep, an alert icon in the shape of a coffee cup comes up on the dashboard and a noise alarm is activated. According to Mercedes's Jorg Breuer, the system should also work with intoxicated drivers and those who are distracted for any other reason, such as talking on a cell phone. While the system seems like an excellent idea, we think it would be much cooler if it sent electroshocks through the steering wheel. But we understand there are safety concerns with that, too.

While he isn't a fan of such games (which he admits he's never played), Gallagher does find them slightly more tolerable than others: "It's better than two goblins trying to f**k a donkey up the arse with a laser beam."We'd hate to hear what Liam -- Gallagher brother and Oasis singer -- would have to say about karaoke.

But a quartet of researchers at the University of Indiana are actually using a computer simulation to simulate other computers, attempting to determine how quickly a widespread attack on public Wi-Fi access points would spread across its user base.Hau Hu, Steven Myers, Vittoria Colizza and Alessandro Vespignani created a model of known public access points in seven metropolitan areas, including downtown Manhattan. They then used known statistics (like, for instance, 40-percent of all Wi-Fi points have no protection at all), and simulated a sequence of events that, in a mere two weeks, would result in 18,000 infected access points in New York City. In this case, "infected" means hackers' gaining access to the Wi-Fi router and modifying it to automatically distribute viruses and steal information in a way similar to that of the Zlob malware we covered last year.If there's some good news here, it's that the simplest of protection mechanisms on your wireless router can prevent it from being compromised.

Mitsubishi's 3D plans brought into focus, PC gaming to play a roleby Darren Murph, posted Jul 8th 2008 at 7:04PM When Mitsubishi admitted that it was holding hands with NVIDIA and Aspen Media for no other reason than to prove that they all three hearted 3D, we must say, we were miffed. Now, however, it seems that plans are finally coming to light, and everything is starting to make a whole lot more sense. Reportedly, the three firms are gearing up to showcase how well they can work together to produce eye-pleasing 3D PC gaming results in select retail outlets this July. At first, none of the components will be sold together per se, but bundle deals are definitely in the works. Whether or not budding PC gamers are ready to switch to a DLP-based HDTV as their primary monitor, however, remains to be seen.Read PermalinkEmail this0 CommentsFiled under: Displays, Media PCs, Other hardware, Mitsubishi, OthersTags: 3d, aspen, aspen media, AspenMedia, dlp, gaming, iSP, Mitsubishi, nvidia, package, partner, pc, pc gaming, PcGaming powered by SphereRelated Articles From Engadget HDA first hand look at Panasonic's 3D demo20 days agoSamsung officially introduces 2233RZ, the 22-inch 3D panel for gamers with ...21 days agoGame exec hints at 3D gaming on Sony's PlayStation 3 in 200935 days agoRelated Articles From Our Tech Network3D is back, but is it better than ever?5 days agoNvidia GeForce 3DVision gets reviewed18 days agoRealView unveils three 3D desktop scanners20 days agoSee More Related Articles and Blog Posts Previous The HDTVs of CES 2009 3D: is this the resurgence that counts?

Are there two Vista Media Center updates due this year?by Ben Drawbaugh, posted Jul 8th 2008 at 3:46PMThe little birdies that clued us in about the upcoming Vista Media Center update a few days ago are at it again, but this time with some potential good news. When the recent Windows Media Center TV Pack release candidate 0 was released to testers and was missing all of our favorite features, we were quick to assume that this would mean no new features until Windows 7. Well, based on some recent information received by our sources, the reason H.264 was cut was because it was too complex to add -- because of all the dependencies involved -- in time. You see, evidently this tuner update was promised to be released to OEMs by the end of July. Now our sources seem to be optimistic that there is another update in the works, and that it might just include both H.264 and DirecTV tuner support. More about the Windows Media Center TV Pack after the jump.Gallery: Leaked Fiji Screen shotsThe update expected this month is mainly focused around International support, which has evidently really been lacking up until now. The Japanese can expect ISDB-T and BML support, while the Europeans can look forward to new support for DVB-T and DVB-S tuners as well as MHEG for interactive television; and finally as we mentioned before, the US is finally getting native clear QAM support. At the same time every country can expect to see improvements for; TV viewing, recording, and playback. The biggest features in the update we're looking forward to though is heterogeneous tuner support, which was explained to us as the ability to use any combination of tuners (NTSC, ATSC, QAM, CableCARD, DVB-T, PAL, or DVB-S etc). The other big sigh of relief is they are going to loosen up on the tuner limitations. With the update, Ultimate edition will officially support four tuners of each type, while premium stays at the current limit of two. So while it doesn't appear that the update will have any ground breaking new features, we have to say that all-in-all we're pretty excited to get our hands on the new features. But we still really want to believe that there is indeed another update in the works, that we will see it this year and that it will finally bring us DirecTV support. But man would we really would like to know what is taking so long.PermalinkEmail this14 CommentsFiled under: Media PCsTags: Fiji, Vista Media Center, VMC, Windows Media Center TV Pack, WindowsMediaCenterTvPack powered by SphereRelated Articles From Engadget HDDISH Network's Draco project brings programming to Windows Media Center12 days agoStill waiting for the Roku 1.5 HD update?

I'm totally stoked about native QAM support!!!! All those tv tuner companies have got to be upset having to make work arounds for QAMReply NeutralBrad M @ Jul 8th 2008 4:47PMSo, am I reading that Ultimate will support FOUR Cable Card tuners with the update without any hacks? Neutralskx @ Jul 8th 2008 4:43PMCan somebody explain a European why DIRECT TV is so important? Reply NeutralMike @ Jul 8th 2008 4:52PMDirecTV is a direct broadcast digital TV service that's been around for almost 20 years now. They have over 16 million customers in the US. The integration of DirecTV with any kind of PC based DVR has been promised off and on for the past few years now. While it has nothing to due to Europe, many DirecTV customers would love to integrate their DirecTV service with a home based DVR. Sage TV is one solution today but Vista Media Center with extender support would be a great solution. Neutralthecount @ Jul 8th 2008 6:11PMI'm hoping that DirecTV support will also allow for other NDS encrypted services (Sky UK, Sky Italia) to be available with VMC NeutralMike @ Jul 8th 2008 4:46PMHmm, so people who have HDHomrun and use it as a dual tuner OTA HD solution today and want to add DirecTV tuner support will have to upgrade to Vista Ultimate to get to the four tuner support?Reply NeutralBen @ Jul 8th 2008 4:51PMNo, but if you wanted to have two HDHomeRuns then you'd need ultimate (offically). No word if the old registry hack still works.But with ultimate you could have 4 ATSC tuners and 4 CableCARD tuners and have ABC show up on channel 28 for all 8, then set a recording preference. NeutralZ @ Jul 8th 2008 4:53PM"With the update, Ultimate edition will officially support four tuners of each type, while premium stays at the current limit of two."Come on MSFT, just casue Bill left doesn't mean you get to bend us over even more! There are no differences between the two versions of Vista that would limit premium to TWO tuners but yet allow Ultimate FOUR.Maybe I should look at apple or possibly a linux box from now on. Reply NeutralElimGarak @ Jul 9th 2008 3:48PMLOL - good luck getting any of this to work on that piece of crap Apple TV. Neutralxemumanic @ Jul 8th 2008 6:45PMI'm most interested in the DirecTV, and, as a direct result, H.264 support. Hopefully they will see fit to add audio track and subtitle switching as well. That'd be great for MKVs.Reply NeutralHellman109 @ Jul 9th 2008 2:08AMDirectTV is a US thing, as they have most of the features they already need thats what they are now interested in.What isnt mentioned is over the air EPG support for DVB-T Cards along with teletext, which is DAMN important here in Australia. We get an EPG sent with our digital TV, but VMC doesnt do anything with it, while other media centres (media portal etc.) use it well.The TV pack is all about making TV better for the rest of the world, which is an important step for me.PS: returning things like a list view and removing the postage stamp video to the alpha blended background would be a nice feature to add/migrate to all of media centre!Reply NeutralThe Fuzz 53 @ Jul 9th 2008 4:28PMThere's an update for my tuner on Windows Update, but the two times I've tried to install it, I end up getting a BSOD and have to use a system restore to get the tuner to work again. I believe the tuner is an ATI Theater Pro 650 (came with the PC) Anybody else have this issue?Reply NeutralMarco @ Jul 10th 2008 9:06AMHello to all, if I want to know how Windows Media Center TV Pack is support for satellite TV.ThanksReply NeutralJimmyBalboa @ Aug 12th 2008 3:21PMNot yet Marco, did you read the article at the top of the page?

As well as being able to watch a trailer and play with the "car configurator," you can also find news and read a bit of the history behind the company and car. The configurator's a little lackluster but gives you a general idea how the Zero might look in a few different colors. The site also has a newsletter sign up for interested dealers.Speaking of dealers, it seems TYC Track has picked up the British Distribution of the Italian eco-sportster. No word on when it will actually be available, but it is supposed to begin production this year in Imola, Italy. Hit the jump for video of the pre-production Zero being driven about.Gallery: Tazarri Zero[Source: Tazzari Group]Continue reading Tazarri Zero gets new website, car configuratorPermalinkEmail this ShareComments (0)Mercedes-Benz rumored to be working on hybrid sportscarPosted Jan 28th 2009 at 7:10PM by Jeremy KorzeniewskiFiled under: Hybrid, Mercedes BenzMercedes-Benz has quite a history with gull-wing doored sportscars; not as much with hybrids. Regardless, the German automaker appears ready to combine the two in the next version of its SLK range, which is rumored to add the upward-opening doors and regenerative braking technology to its repertoire in 2012. It's the hybrid drivetrain that may be causing MB to look to its past 300SL's unique portal configuration since the twin battery packs will be placed in large side sills, a configuration that would preclude the use of normal doors. Mercedes hopes to gain experience with the KERS hybrid system that's currently making its way into Formula 1 racing, where the German marque has been doing quite well over the last few years. Teamed with a 3.5L V6 engine, preliminary reports suggest that the hybrid SLK could get up to 40 miles per gallon on the European cycle while also being able to accelerate the coupe to 60 miles per hour in under 5 seconds. They could sure use the efficiency boost.[Source: Auto Express]SourcePermalinkEmail this ShareComments (0)Got lithium? LotsPosted Jan 28th 2009 at 6:22PM by Domenick YoneyFiled under: Emerging Technologies, Etc., EV/Plug-in, Hybrid, Manufacturing/Plants, Mitsubishi, South/Latin America, USA Click on chart for PDF When companies need to know about future market conditions for various commodities, they hire a firm with the expertise to evaluate the situation and report back. For instance, as Mitsubishi was mulling the possible future of electric cars equipped with lithium ion batteries, they hired TRU Group to do an analysis on future battery options. Usually, ordinary folks don't get to see the results of this kind of work, but in the case here, we can. In a rare move, Mitsubishi has allowed their consultants to release some of the findings about the global markets for lithium through to 2020 and that's just what they did at the IM Lithium Supply & Markets Conference Santiago 2009.The results are comforting to those worried about a sudden upsurge in the production of electric cars using lithium ion batteries, especially over the next few years. Because of the sudden recession, there is actually an oversupply of the mineral right now and this should continue until about 2013. It doesn't seem as though there will be a "peak lithium" after that either. Although brine deposits, like those in Bolivia and China, may offer the easiest and cheapest supplies to extract, a moderate price rise would support mining here in America, where we appear to have quite a bit.[Source: TRU Group via Green Car Congress]SourcePermalinkEmail this ShareComments (1)2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid qualifies for $3,400 tax creditPosted Jan 28th 2009 at 5:36PM by Jeremy KorzeniewskiFiled under: Hybrid, Ford, Legislation and Policy, Green Daily, USA Click above for high-res gallery of the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid Good news for those looking to get into a new fuel efficient midsize sedan: Ford's 2010 Fusion Hybrid has been tested by the EPA and its 41 mpg city and 36 highway entitle it to the maximum $3,400 tax credit allowed for hybrid vehicles by the federal government. The current set of tax credits are calculated based on the fuel efficiency improvement of a particular model versus what it and its competitors achieve with their non-hybridized powertrains. In standard four cylinder guise, the Fusion still manages a very respectable 23 city and 34 highway, again proving that hybrids make their largest efficiency improvements in city driving conditions. If you want to benefit from the full tax credit, we'd advise you to act quickly. As buyers of Toyota and Honda hybrids have already found out, once an automaker has sold 60,000 hybrid units, the tax credit is slowly phased out. Ford reached its total allotment late last year, so you've got until the end of March before the credit is halved.Gallery: First Drive: 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid[Source: Ford]Continue reading 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid qualifies for $3,400 tax creditPermalinkEmail this ShareComments (1) Rumormill: Lexus LS could get base V6 modelPosted Jan 28th 2009 at 4:49PM by Jeremy KorzeniewskiFiled under: Lexus Click above for a high-res gallery of the Lexus LS600h The trend towards more fuel efficient automobiles is stretching past its expected economy car roots and into the upper reaches of large luxury vehicles. It could be argued that Lexus started this particular trend with its range of hybrid vehicles, especially the GS 450h and the LS 600h premium sedans. Perhaps the biggest hurdle Lexus needs to overcome to sell its hybrids is their price, since all that extra doohickery adds plenty to the bottom line. Perhaps it's not surprising, then, to hear rumors that Lexus is working on a new version of its LS flagship that will use Toyota's 2GR-FSE 3.5L V6 engine engine in lieu of the pricey hybrid or thirsty V8 options. We'd assume the new model would be named the LS 350.This particular powerplant has won accolades by combining both port fuel injection and direct injection to produce up to 311 horsepower (315 PS or 232 kW) and is already used in the automaker's IS 350 and GS 350. This engine option in the LS would also allow buyers in some countries to avoid high taxes that are based on the powerplant's displacement.Gallery: AutoblogGreen Garage: 2008 Lexus LS600h L[Source: Paultan.org]SourcePermalinkEmail this ShareComments (0)Small cars suddenly selling well in ChinaPosted Jan 28th 2009 at 4:05PM by Jeremy KorzeniewskiFiled under: ChinaNo matter where you are in the world, there seems to be a universal truth that when gas prices go up, cars get smaller and more efficient. Even in China. It's sort of like the rule of supply and demand, except that there is still just as much actual fuel available as before, but the Chinese government has raised its price and has therefore changed the amount that its citizens can afford. This action has had the desirable effect of increasing sales of fuel-efficient cars, in spite of a weak overall market. The largest market share gains have been won by joint ventures led by Japanese manufacturers such as Toyota, Nissan and Honda, which led the charge with an increase in sales of nearly 30 percent. Also helping promote the switch from large cars to smaller machines was a variable tax that was reduced for cars with engines of 1.6 liters or smaller.[Source: Nikkei via TTAC]SourcePermalinkEmail this ShareComments (2)California gas stations choose to close instead of buying vapor-reducing pumpsPosted Jan 28th 2009 at 3:19PM by Sebastian BlancoFiled under: Etc., Legislation and Policy, Green Daily Photo by ellievanhoutte. Licensed under Creative Commons license 2.0. This April, a mandate from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) called the Enhanced Vapor Recovery Program (EVRP) will go into effect. The idea behind the program is to get next-generation clean nozzles and equipment installed at fuel pumps in the state in order to control emissions. Sounds like a good thing, right? The environment wins becasue ground-level ozone should be reduced and people win, too.What's the problem? These new cleaner gas stations aren't cheap, and "dozens, and potentially hundreds" of gas stations in California might close down instead to upgrade. In other words, in this case, going green means going out of business. According to the Pasadena Star-News, the South Coast Air Quality Management District has heard from 76 refueling sites (of about 4,500 total in its area) that will shut down because of the high costs of the EVRP. CARB responds by saying that gas prices will go up by about 0.68 cents a gallon to cover the cost of upgrading.

Through the App Store, developers can get their applications running, but many are still frustrated by the company's draconian censorship rules, rules that forced developer John Atherton not to change his app, but to change his advertising.We've covered App Store censorship before, asin the case of David Carnoy's book that had to be edited before going live. Similarly, Atherton was required to edit the advertising for his 'Wobble' application. The app allows users to make any section of a photo jiggle when the iPhone itself is shaken. You can imagine for yourself the intended application, but the advertising video included above, as well as the text advertising the app, left no doubt. Apple required Atherton to remove any reference to "boobs" or "booty" in the advertisement. That's unfortunate as far as free speech goes, but a small price for Atherton to pay in order to keep his app in the Japanese App Store's top spot.

It's really working! The government is getting almost $1.2 million from two telemarketing companies that violated the Do Not Call Rule. Take that, suckers.Westgate and All In One Vacation Club now respectively owe $900,000 and $275,000, after repeatedly violating the Federal Trade Commission's rule against calling people on the Do Not Call (DNC) Registry. Westgate bought the phone numbers from Brandarama.com, where customers answered travel surveys without being informed they would be contacted by telemarketers. All In One got their numbers from vacation sweepstakes entries. Both companies then called people with offers of timeshares and vacation deals. We're extremely happy that telemarketers are on notice, but we do wonder why the U.S. Treasury gets to keep all the money. We're really the ones who suffer, especially when our favorite TV shows are on. How about throwing a little something our way, Treasury?

Hawks of Parma, Ohio has been arrested for allegedly raping a 12-year-old boy after meeting him via Xbox online live. On January 15, according to Cleveland's NBC affiliate, Hawks allegedly traveled to the boy's residence in Michigan, staying there with him for some time. Having been arrested Monday and charged with rape and sexual imposition, Hawks is currently being held in the Cuyahoga County Jail.While these allegations are still very much just that -- allegations -- this story is only the latest knot in a recent string of developments concerning teenagers, video games and violence. Despite a recent study concluding that violent games do not lead to violent behavior, the recent stories of the 'Halo 3' killer and the Xbox taco-slapper may suggest otherwise.

According to ArsTechnica, Netflix is reporting that many of its customers are substituting streamed movies for mailed ones, taxing the USPS less and their broadband connections more. CEO Reed Hastings is playing coy about whether this is a strong trend or just the curious behavior of early adopters. Since his company gets paid either way, he probably doesn't care, but you can be sure those companies who are still firmly attached to profits from plastic discs are going to be watching this pattern rather closely.

In its recently-unveiled 2010 line, the car company is including Attention Assist, a sensory system that detects and alerts drowsy drivers.The system keeps track of 70 factors, including braking, acceleration, time, road conditions, and, most critically, the angle of the steering wheel. If the system believes the driver is falling asleep, an alert icon in the shape of a coffee cup comes up on the dashboard and a noise alarm is activated. According to Mercedes's Jorg Breuer, the system should also work with intoxicated drivers and those who are distracted for any other reason, such as talking on a cell phone. While the system seems like an excellent idea, we think it would be much cooler if it sent electroshocks through the steering wheel. But we understand there are safety concerns with that, too.

While he isn't a fan of such games (which he admits he's never played), Gallagher does find them slightly more tolerable than others: "It's better than two goblins trying to f**k a donkey up the arse with a laser beam."We'd hate to hear what Liam -- Gallagher brother and Oasis singer -- would have to say about karaoke.

But a quartet of researchers at the University of Indiana are actually using a computer simulation to simulate other computers, attempting to determine how quickly a widespread attack on public Wi-Fi access points would spread across its user base.Hau Hu, Steven Myers, Vittoria Colizza and Alessandro Vespignani created a model of known public access points in seven metropolitan areas, including downtown Manhattan. They then used known statistics (like, for instance, 40-percent of all Wi-Fi points have no protection at all), and simulated a sequence of events that, in a mere two weeks, would result in 18,000 infected access points in New York City. In this case, "infected" means hackers' gaining access to the Wi-Fi router and modifying it to automatically distribute viruses and steal information in a way similar to that of the Zlob malware we covered last year.If there's some good news here, it's that the simplest of protection mechanisms on your wireless router can prevent it from being compromised.

Analysts estimated some set of earnings numbers for the aluminum giant, and Alcoa Inc. (NYSE: AA), reporting after the close, beat those numbers. Specifically, Alcoa reported a second-quarter profit of $546 million, or 66 cents a share, on revenue of $7.6 billion, beating what analysts polled by FactSet Research were looking for, a profit of 65 cents a share on sales of $7.37 billion. But really, those earnings were down from $715 million, or 81 cents a share, a year earlier, and even if the recent quarter's charge of $39 million, or 5 cents a share, is taken into account (bringing earnings per share to 71 cents), profit is still lower. However -- and perhaps that's the silver lining Wall Street is looking at -- sales rose 11% when the divested business revenue is excluded from last year's revenue. The declines in profit were mostly blamed on, not surprisingly, higher costs that rising aluminum prices couldn't keep pace with. Despite increasing its shipping by 1.3% and increasing the average realized price per metric ton of aluminum by 6.2%, this wasn't enough to deal with soaring energy and raw material costs.Other problems investors were aware of include more than enough supply of the metal to meet the lower demand in North America and Europe following the housing and auto markets' declines. In markets where demand grows for the metal, Alcoa faces tougher competition.Alcoa shares soared as much as 6% initially in after-hours trading but have recently (5:42 p.m.) changed hands 3.2% higher at $33.36. It seems that more than anything, Alcoa's results helped calm a very jittery market, nervous about second-quarter earnings, which are expected to be 10% lower for the Dow Jones companies.Going forward, though, Alcoa has plans to reduce costs by looking for cheaper sources of energy, which accounts for a third of the cost of producing the metal. Still, costs aren't expected to improve much in the next few quarters, and barring a change in aluminum pricing, demand or production, Alcoa will undoubtedly struggle with costs in the near future.Tags: aa, alcoa, earnings, inthenewsPermalinkEmail this Share Print thisComments [0] Related PostsAlcoa's results were awful (16 days ago - 0 Comments)Earnings highlights: Citigroup, Intel, JPMorgan, Alcoa, Apple and others (11 days ago - 0 Comments)The week in preview: Alcoa, Intel kick off new earnings season (17 days ago - 5 Comments)S&P Q4 earnings season: Hoping for the best, bracing for the worst (16 days ago - 0 Comments)Before the call: Alcoa Q4 earnings expectations (16 days ago - 0 Comments) Featured PostsGlobal Q&A: Don't rush into Russia just yetIs John Thain being made the fall guy?Who would you pay to watch play?

Ask X3F: Press Start editionby Richard Mitchell { Jul 8th 2008 at 6:45PM } We hope you like this edition of Ask X3F, because you ain't getting one next week. We're going to be at E3, you see, and we imagine most of your questions will be answered by our non-stop, super awesome coverage of the event. Anyhway, to the questions! This week, we've got questions (and answers) about XBLA release dates, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith guitar compatibility, and achievement tracking. As an added bonus, depending on your point of view, we don't have one question about Halo 3 toys this week. We know, it feels weird to us too. Read on, knowledge seekers!Got a question for Ask X3F? Maybe you have a story or some information you'd like to share? Send it all to ask [at] xbox360fanboy [dawt] com.why is it that in todays day and age a game cant go straight to the main menu? you always have to press start in order to get there. seems fairly useless since there is no load time between pushing start and going to the main menu.AndyGT: SpiritBeggarWhy indeed! Andy, there are many cases that developers could make for including 'Press Start,' though we certainly don't presume to know the particular reasons any one developer chooses to do so. That won't stop us from listing a few, though. First, it's tradition. Games have urged gamers to press start for ages. Why stop now? Also, without 'Press Start' there is no title screen, right? Title screens can (can) really set the mood for a game, so in some ways, 'Press Start' can improve the experience. Besides, pressing start is like making a deal between oneself in the game. Pressing start is akin to saying, "Yes, I'm ready. Show me what you've got." Of course, it also serves to interrupt CG cinemas and gameplay demos.Is it necessary? No, but it's not exactly making us lose any sleep at night. It's just a little button. It never did anything to you. It just wants to be pressed.Hey guysAre there any good sites (or even programs?) that can check your gamertag and ascertain what achievements you still need to get for a certain game?Case in point, I'm going to try and get 1000/1000 for Viva Pinata and I'd like an easy reference guide detailing what I am missing instead of having to compare two lists (lazy i know). Wouldn't be too much of an issue if there weren't secret achievements...Maybe even a site that would list missing achievements in decending order so you could check which ones would earn you the most points...CheersPHWhat's wrong with Xbox.com? Once you sign into your Gamertag on Xbox.com, you can check the View Games section to see the achievements you've earned and the ones you haven't and how many points they are all worth. Granted, it doesn't reveal how to acquire secret achievements, but it does show you how many there are for a particular game. You can always find secret achievements online and add 'em to your list.Other than that, we don't know of any specific sites that have all the features you're looking for. Anyone out there know the perfect website for Andy?Hey guys,File this in as one of those "should this go to the fancast or ask X3F". I was looking at this and was reminiscing of the time when the XBLA games were mostly 400 MS points. What happened? Why do most of the games that come out now have a price tag of 800 MS points? Who sets the prices of these titles (the developer or Microsoft)?Thanks for your insight,BrianGT: bmurph83The reason games cost more really has more to do with the XBLA pricing structure than anything else. Developers do set their own prices, so it's really up to them to decide how much gamers are willing to pay. Generally speaking, retro titles (of which there were many in the early days of XBLA) are 400 points and original titles are 800. Of course, there have been exceptions. The original IP Geometry Wars was only 400 points, while the retro Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was 800. The reason that so many games cost 800 points these days is because original titles are outnumbering retro titles (which many gamers regard as a good thing).Could companies release games for 400 and still make money? Yeah, probably, but why would they if they don't have too? In other words, don't expect these companies to start asking for 400 points for a new title. And, honestly, ten dollars isn't much to ask for a quality original title. It's the "quality" part that's most important, of course.What reasoning (if any) does Microsoft give for keeping the release dates of Arcade titles so secret? The games are obviously done at least a few weeks ahead of the release since they have to be certified by MS. Wouldn't it be better to build up to a big (relatively) title like Soul Caliber rather than just say on Monday: "Oh yeah, Soul Caliber comes out on Wednesday."And, how do they keep the date so secret? I can't think of any leaks in Arcade history...What? XBLA games get leaked all the time! Case in point, you may have heard -- but apparently haven't -- that Geometry Wars 2 achievements were recently leaked. This is pretty significant considering the game itself hasn't even been announced yet. Then again, we suppose the release dates are kept fairly secret. We'd wager it's not because Microsoft is really good at keeping secrets, but rather because the company doesn't actually know the release dates yet.History has certainly shown that XBLA development can be a hairy process. Certification nearly destroyed Jeff Minter's llama loving demeanor and we will never forget the long, slow crawl through the mud that was the Worms certification process. Developer Third Wave Games announced War World was to release in August of 2007, and we have yet to see it hit XBLA. Hell, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was accidentally released on a Saturday with no fanfare at all. The truth, we would guess, is that XBLA's release schedule is more fluid than you might think. This seems pretty obvious given the examples above. Exactly how fluid -- are games scheduled weeks in advance? months? -- we don't know, and Microsoft ain't telling, but we'd guess that the lead time on an Arcade release is pretty short.In Gamespot's XBox 360 Review of Guitar Hero:Aerosmith, they state "Several guitar controllers... work with the game, as does the Fender Stratocaster from Rock Band." Is this a Typo? Can anyone confirm that the Rockband Guitar Controller works with GH:Aerosmith on XBox 360?GBAThat is the million dollar question right there. Unfortunately, not even the force of the internet seems to be able to answer it. Joystiq conducted a poll recently, having received conflicting reports regarding guitar compatibility in GH: Aerosmith. As it stands, the best answer is that some Rock Band guitars work with GH: Aerosmith and some don't. There is no magic way to know if yours will work (at least, not that we know of). You could always rent the game just to test it out, and we suggest you do before blowing your cash on a game you can't play.That's it for this week, folks.

This is, in most cases, the reason for that screen, to set the controller that is to be used.Reply Brave @ Jul 8th 2008 7:01PMFor the first question, Some games you don't even have to press start, You can press A too!

After all the other leaks surrounding the issue, one wouldn't think it'd be such a big screaming deal. Still, the phone cam shot above looks to confirm what we've already known. However, we shouldn't forget that the majority of gamers don't exactly comb the internet for this stuff, and "window signs," "Pop-ons" (whatever those are) and a gigantic stack of boxes with "oversized price labels" will likely be the first many folks hear of the price drop.[Thanks Kris]Tags: gamestop, price-cut, price-drop, xbox-360PermalinkEmail thisPrint this2 CommentsShare powered by SphereRelated Articles From JoystiqPSN Thursday: Commandos crash over the rain-slick precipice40 days agoPsN ThUrsdAy: ThE BlUe BoMber's WipEout PaRadIse125 days agoJoystiq hands-on: WipEout HD race-ready at last138 days agoRelated Articles From Our Gaming NetworkLittle change in latest NPD top 10 best selling PC games list23 days agoPAIN is the most downloaded game on PSN in 200840 days agoWipEout HD has Platinum Trophy, should be over $30158 days agoSee More Related Articles and Blog Posts Subscribe to these commentsReader Comments (Page 1 of 1) Chase @ Jul 8th 2008 6:55PMI'm more interested to see what becomes the Arcade bundle price.

X3F Live invades Battlefield, update on features [Update]by Xav de Matos { Jul 8th 2008 at 5:15PM } Update: After playing a single online game, EA's servers booted us right out of play and wouldn't allow us to reconnect. We'll reschedule a real event soon.You may have noticed some of our regular features have been MIA in recent weeks. In order to prepare for E3 and make time (and room) for special features, some of our content has been put on a temporary hiatus. Until the madness that is E3 subsides we're putting a hold on Community Content, Would You Rather and Points>Life -- technically, just Xav. You may see random special editions of our content during the event as special bonuses, but we're just giving you the heads up incase you were wondering where your favorite feature is.As you may be aware, if you listened to the latest X3F Fancast -- Richard, Dustin and Alexander will be bringing the show on the road with special podcasts as E3 progresses. It's another way we're keeping everyone at home up to date while allowing the home crew to recharge the batteries. One thing we can't put on hold for now is X3F Live and considering the popularity of Battlefield: Bad Company on our friends list we're going to be game hunting later tonight (again, just Xav). So tonight from 9 to 10 PM EST watch out for Gamertag: Snypz and hopefully we can cause some mayhem together. This isn't an organized event, but Xav is looking for some game time before the craziness takes over!Tags: community-content, points-greater-than-life, points-life, would-you-rather, wur, x3f-livePermalinkEmail thisPrint this4 CommentsShare powered by SphereRelated Articles From JoystiqPSN Thursday: Commandos crash over the rain-slick precipice40 days agoPsN ThUrsdAy: ThE BlUe BoMber's WipEout PaRadIse125 days agoJoystiq hands-on: WipEout HD race-ready at last138 days agoRelated Articles From Our Gaming NetworkLittle change in latest NPD top 10 best selling PC games list23 days agoPAIN is the most downloaded game on PSN in 200840 days agoWipEout HD has Platinum Trophy, should be over $30158 days agoSee More Related Articles and Blog Posts Subscribe to these commentsReader Comments (Page 1 of 1) ZEBRA NINER @ Jul 8th 2008 5:31PMNOOOOO!

Originally we thought Segways were a joke intended to poke fun at Will Arnett's Gob Bluth character, but since then have been convinced of the Segway's veracity. We even saw a Segway tour venue outside the art museum in Philadelphia. Like being a tourist isn't embarrassing enough already!Apple founding father Steve Jobs shares our sentiment about Segways...or so we thought. When he first saw the Segway, Jobs allegedly said succinctly "I think it sucks." But now, Apple's hired Segway's CTO, Doug Field, to be its new VP of product design! Could the hiring of the sucky product's "driving [heh] force" be a step towards phasing out the aging Jobs? bloggers are wondering. We don't know, but we sure can't wait to see what kind of freak Mac-Segway babies come out of this marriage.

The electronic reading device sold out quickly, and racked up some ridiculous highs on eBay (we were smitten after spending a little time with one.) Eight months later, we still love reading on the thing, but author Nick Hornby isn't quite so thrilled with the concept, and he has posted a lengthy diatribe over at the Penguin Blog about why he thinks eBooks still aren't destined for huge success.Hornby, author of 'High Fidelity' and 'About a Boy,' lists a number of reasons as to why he doesn't think eBooks will be successful, including the belief that book readers are not early adopters (we think those outrageous eBay prices say otherwise). He also mentions that eBook market and experience can't simply be compared to the iPod: you can't rip your existing library of books like you can with music. But, he makes an interesting point on why eBooks aren't a particularly hot business model: People on average only buy seven books per year, and 34-percent of adults don't even read books. Of course, eBook readers also display newspapers, magazines, and blogs, so we don't think he's entirely hit the mark, but it's safe to say that it's going to be a long, long time before e-reading devices like the Kindle even start showing the same sales figures as Microsoft's Zune, which means they've got a looonnnng way to go.

But the publishers and Barnes and Noble (and other campus bookstore operators) will fight it like the RIAA fights against legal fair use.Reply NeutralTom @ Jul 8th 2008 9:57AMEbooks would be fine ONLY when those that offer them, like Amazon, pay the authors more than 30% of the sale. I look forward to the day when the middle men lose all control over artists, and are not able to rape them financially.Reply NeutralKoKo @ Jul 8th 2008 5:37PMGood point, TV. But textbooks are a mandatory purchase, and the publishers have a monopoly on them (sometimes they even make a college-specific version of a textbook, to discourage second-hand sales. Isn't that evil?) Overall sales amount to billions. Many textbooks are already self-published by their professor/authors.Less good point, Tom. It might be evil or even just undesirable for publishers to make money as middlemen, and for artists or authors to make a pittance. But those publishers have until now performed a valuable service. Creating a nice clear, (relatively) portable, (relatively) durable hard copy of a book is too much trouble for most of us. But in my opinion, they got greedy ($160 for a textbook!) and the lashback, plus advances in technology, are catching up to them. In my view, traditional publishers are kind of like the pharoah's scribes: useful until paper became cheap and literacy became widespread. If I were them, I would begin checking out new lines of business. Look what happened to Kodak.

It beat earnings forecasts. It met expectations for Mac sales. It exceeded expectations for iPod sales, and it was a little light on iPhone shipments. So, what was the key to Apple's success? More than anything else, it is that the iPod keeps selling even though there are more than 200 million of them somewhere out there in the world. Apple sold another 23 million iPods, a record. And, that was the trick. Have a look at Apple's iPod pricing. The average price between the cheapest version, the Shuffle, and the next cheapest version, the Nano, is about $99. During a holiday slammed by a recession, how may products are available for $99? Especially products that are great gifts? Buy a friend an iPhone -- it comes with a hefty two-year calling plan that makes it quite expensive. Buy a Mac -- that will probably set the buyer back $1,000. The iPod is still a desirable present. It is from Apple, after all. But, what earnings did not tell is how little it costs to get one and what that means during hard times. A $99 gift. And, by the way, with it strong earnings, Apple should trades at about $99 today. Douglas A.

The survey was conducted just weeks after the Storm went on sale. We also compared the Storm's favorability rating to those of the original Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone, taken from a 2007 ChangeWave survey conducted a few weeks after the iPhone's release. The original iPhone's "very satisfied" rating (77%) was more than double that of the Storm (33%). Moreover, the original iPhone's unsatisfied rating (5%) was three times lower than that of the Storm (14%).Continue reading BlackBerry Storm vs. Apple iPhone Permalink Email this Share Print this2 Comments SEC probes Apple over Steve Jobs disclosuresPosted Jan 21st 2009 8:30AM by Zac BissonnetteFiled under: Apple Inc (AAPL), ScandalsBloomberg is reporting that the SEC is investigating Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) over disclosures related to CEO Steve Jobs' health.The case will be nearly impossible to prove and seems unlikely to go anywhere even if investigators do conclude that there was wrongdoing. Because companies are not required to report on the health of their executives -- it's not material in the way that an earnings miss or director resignation is -- the SEC would seem to have to prove that Apple proactively misled investors with its reports on Jobs' health.But the larger point is this: Who cares? The SEC sat idly by while Bernie Madoff ripped investors off to the tune of $50 billion, and now its poking around in Steve Jobs' pancreas? Give me a break! Shouldn't the SEC be spending its valuable time doing things like oh, I don't know, improving disclosure rules for financial institutions?I will be shocked -- shocked -- if this little inquiry ends up going anywhere and given how thin on resources the SEC is, it should be left to the class-action lawyers who sue every time a stock goes down.Source Permalink Email this Share Print this3 Comments Sales of used goods increasePosted Jan 21st 2009 4:00AM by Douglas McIntyreFiled under: Apple Inc (AAPL), eBay (EBAY), Toyota Motor Corp. (TM)Toyota (NYSE: TM) has introduced a new program to sell certified used hybrids. Consumers aren't buying the Prius in great numbers any more. Its technology makes it more expensive that similar gas-powered autos. A walk along Fifth Avenue in New York City shows that Torneau, one of the top watch retailers in the world, is filling its windows with certified pre-owned watches. The showcase windows at the stores recently had only new time pieces. The sales of used Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhones is increasing. New came out today that Gamestop (NYSE: GME) is finding that "used" is in vogue According to The Wall Street Journal, "What sets it apart from other game retailers is its virtual lock on used game sales." The retailer has figured out that some people simply can't afford games that are new. Welcome to the "used" economy. By many measures, a new car losses 30% of its value the minute it drives off the lot. Most watches are marked up 40% when they are sold new. That premium disappears once it goes onto a buyer's wrist. If that seems hard to believe, go to the watch section on Ebay (NASDAQ: EBAY) In an effort to pinch every penny consumers who must buy things are looking for goods that are in good shape but do not carry the premium of price that being the first owner does. What's next? Used food. Douglas A.

(NYSE: T) customer service representative that there has been a major outage of data service on the East Coast. She was told the company "lost a switch." It is not clear what caused the problem or when it will be fixed. A similar problem happened in September.Technical glitches are nothing new for us iPhone users. You can travel for miles without a 3G signal. My wife's iPhone had to be replaced because it would not "wake up" from its sleep mode.This creates problems for both AT&T and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), which are facing increased competition from Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) among others. The timing could not be worse.Continue reading AT&T says it's experiencing a 'major' East Coast data outage Permalink Email this Share Print this5 CommentsNokia's (NOK) plan to rally backPosted Jan 2nd 2009 2:40PM by Douglas McIntyreFiled under: Apple Inc (AAPL), AT and T (T), Nokia Corp. (NOK)Nokia (NYSE: NOK) may be the world's largest handset maker with about 39% of the market, but it is often slow to pick up on innovations. A lot of its units are sold in emerging markets, where the cost of expensive features would kill sales. The company is sick of having sand kicked in its face by Apple (NYSE: AAPL), Samsung and other firms that make the new, popular touchscreen handsets. According to the FT, "The Finnish group is seeking to become the world's largest maker of mobiles with touchscreens this year." Nokia has already put new phones like the N97 into the market in the hopes of picking up share. Nokia has a problem; one that it may not be able to solve. Apple's 3G iPhone has been in the market for less than a year, but it has already locked up sales at the high end of the market. On what basis are those customers going to switch to a Nokia product? Apple also has resale deals with large carriers like AT&T (NYSE: T). Nokia may not be able to match those, at least not quickly. Nokia faces similar problems with competition like the Samsung Instinct. Nokia may find that it has the "GM problem." Being the largest company in an industry does not mean being the most successful. Without the right product mix, being big only means carrying a huge load of corporate expenses. Douglas A. McIntyre is an editor at 247wallst.com.

"We believe that the most prudent way to make money in the stock market is through long-term investing in 'best of the best' companies," says growth stock specialist Nate Pile. In his Nate's Notes newsletter, he explains, "With that in mind, we turn to one of our core portfolio holdings as out favorite investment for 2009 -- Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), whose products represent 'best in class' in just about every category in which it competes. "We believe investors have shifted their focus entirely to the extreme near-term and are completely ignoring the long-term fundamentals that are in place for the Apple. "To be sure, the stock has lost over 50% of its value over the past twelve months, but we believe the reasons for the decline are all short-term in nature, and we cannot help but get excited by the opportunity to once again become more aggressive about adding additional shares to our portfolio.Continue reading Top Stock Picks '09: Apple (AAPL) Permalink Email this Share Print this0 CommentsAre Best Buy (BBY) and Research In Motion (RIMM) buys here?

Demron garments resist radiation without overlooking styleby Laura June, posted Jan 28th 2009 at 9:10PM Sure, radiation's not high on our personal list of threats, but that doesn't mean it's not on someone's, right? Well, to that end, Radiation Shield Technologies has developed a full line of radiation-defeating garments (the thyroid collar being our favorite). In fact, the company has just been awarded a patent for the nanotechnology which they say is the "world's first protective material designed for all types of chemical, biological, radiological and even nuclear incidents." The material, called Demron, is a nanopolymeric compound (which they call "liquid metal") fused between layers of fabric and concocted into gear which is lead-, toxin-, and PVC-free, and is capable of blocking gamma rays, X-rays and other nuclear emissions. The garments are currently used by NASA and various governments across this planet of ours, but they also seem to be commercially available for prices ranging from about $700 up to $6,500 for the nuclear blanket.

The Text and Learn children's "PDA" hasn't been officially announced yet, but details are slipping out from the U.K. Toy Fair, so here's what we know about the must-have device of the year: boasting a full QWERTY keyboard, the Text and Learn has a calendar (for learning dates), phonics functions (for learning... phonics) on the keyboard, and games to teach spelling and basic computer skills, as well. There's also some "texting" -- the child can interact with their onscreen buddy / guide, Scout. The Text and Learn is set to launch in August for about $30. Man -- armed with this and our totally sick laptop, we're going to be the talk of the town.

Flatley, posted Jan 28th 2009 at 7:14PM Sometimes we get the impression that somewhere out there is a community of ultra-wealthy individuals that live lives of unimagined excess and opulence. And when they get together to do whatever it is that they do -- think of ways to take over the world, perhaps -- they can be recognized by the fact that all of their belongings are encrusted in Swarovski crystal. From cameras to coffee makers, they live in a world of such rarefied elegance that any non-Swarovskified gadget is a blight, an eyesore. Even if you think we're a bit off base, it appears that someone at Yubz might know where we're coming from. The company is known for its plug-in handsets for cellphone users who want to kick it old school (like, "bakelite" old school). These things are usually available in cool colors like "Russian Red" and "Regal Gold" for somewhere around $45 ($75 if you want Bluetooth support). According to Chip Chick, the company has announced their newest handset line: beginning with "Lust" and working its way up through the Seven Deadly Sins, these guys will feature Bluetooth, a hell of a lot of Swarovskis, and an $1,800 price tag. Should be hitting the streets in the spring, if you can wait that long. And we've included a couple pictures of the standard device after the break, so you could see what all the fuss is about. You're welcome.

Ajoka's cigarette lighter video camera discreetly records 640 x 480 or QVGA in AVI format at 30 frames per second and supports microSD up to 8GB. It's got a lithium ion battery for 6 hours of filming and is charged via USB. Best of all, it's still a working lighter -- perfect for cheering up your favorite band's love ballads and simultaneously bootlegging the performance. Your local spy shop can order these wholesale for $150 apiece.Read PermalinkEmail this41 Comments Toshiba readies three 1080p Camileo camcorders for Europeby Darren Murph, posted Jan 28th 2009 at 6:09PM We can't say with any level of certainty why Toshiba chose to announce its new Camileo after CES and before CeBIT, but whatever the reason, we're sure it's a good one. Introduced today over in Germany are three new camcorders, all of which boast simple controls for the technologically challenged and easy uploading to YouTube. The whole lot captures in gorgeous 1080p, and they all feature a handy HDMI output for showing off clips as soon as you snag them. The higher-end Camileo P30 arrives with 128MB of internal storage, an SD card slot, a 3-inch LCD monitor and a 5x optical zoom; the H20 steps down to a 2.5-inch display, while the S10 remains mostly mysterious. As for the bits that matter most, the S10 and P30 will be available early next month for ?149 ($197) / ?199 ($263), respectively, while the H20 can be snapped up now for ?249 ($329).[Via Stuff]Read PermalinkEmail this15 CommentsNew Zealander gives classified DAP back to US, gets a new one in exchangeby Darren Murph, posted Jan 28th 2009 at 5:38PM Aw, lookie here -- a happy ending! That suddenly popular Chris Ogle -- you know, the New Zealander who accidentally purchased an MP3 player full of classified US Army documents from a thrift store -- is basking in the glory of his 14th minute of fame. According to a new report from Reuters, Mr. Ogle peacefully handed the device back over to US authorities, and for his cooperation, a brand spanking new player was handed over to him. It's unclear what kind of unit he received and if it was your tax money paying for it, but we get the feeling we'll never truly know answers to either question. As for Ogle's next move? We hear he's jockeying for a guest spot on Flight of the Conchords.Read PermalinkEmail this35 CommentsLaptop display comparison awards top marks to Lenovoby Donald Melanson, posted Jan 28th 2009 at 5:06PM It's not exactly the most extensive round-up, but photographers looking for suggestions on a laptop to pair up with their DSLR would do well to check out Rob Galgraith's latest comparison, which takes a look at the late-2008 MacBook Pro, the Dell Mini 9, and a pair of Lenovos (the W700 and T60). Not so surprisingly, he didn't have too much positive to say about the MacBook's switch to a glossy-only display, but other than that, he found that it mostly held up against its predecessor. It apparently wasn't able to match up against the two Lenovo offerings, however, which came in at number one and two in both color accuracy and viewing angle tests. The W700, in particular, proved to have color accuracy "on par with a fine desktop display," a feat enabled in no small part by its built-in calibrator. He was also especially impressed by the Dell Mini 9, which actually beat out the MacBook in terms of color accuracy, but fell a bit short in viewing angle tests. The fact that it also fits nicely in a DSLR bag certainly doesn't hurt things either. Hit up the link below for the complete breakdown.[Via thegadgetsite] Read PermalinkEmail this71 CommentsPutin to Dell: "We don't need help. We are not invalids."by Nilay Patel, posted Jan 28th 2009 at 4:32PMAs you may be aware, the Davos conference for the super-rich and powerful is going on in Switzerland right now, and throwing all those egos into a room together can lead to some testy moments -- like today, when Michael Dell asked Vladimir Putin how the US could help Russia improve its IT infrastructure. Putin's response? "We don't need help. We are not invalids. We don't have limited mental capacity." Saucy! Vlads followed up by pointing out that Russian scientists mainly focus on software, not hardware -- interpreted by many as a further slap at Dell. Any bets on whether Mikey D replied by saying that if he were in charge, he'd shut Russia down and give it back to the people?Read PermalinkEmail this109 Comments URC's PSX-2 iPod dock enables control via universal remoteby Darren Murph, posted Jan 28th 2009 at 4:09PM These days, it's pretty tough to find an iPod dock that differentiates itself from the crowd. Then again, Universal Remote Control isn't your average iPod accessory maker. Designed specifically for the custom install crowd (but aimed at anyone who appreciates tight home integration) is the PSX-2 Personal Server. Put simply, this doodad enables users to control their iPod like never before by providing users a method of "exploiting all of the iPod's features, including some obscure and rarely-used ones," with any ole IR remote. The device provides "hundreds of discrete IR codes that cover virtually every iPod function, and even functions that aren't available on the iPod itself, such as commands for each of the iPod's EQ settings and the ability to perform alpha searches." Sure, it'll set you back $399, but that's a small price to pay for giving your universal remote one more reason to hang around.Gallery: URC's PSX-2 iPod dock enables control via universal remoteRead PermalinkEmail this9 CommentsThe Engadget Mobile Podcast is good for your heart, soulby Chris Ziegler, posted Jan 28th 2009 at 3:52PM We've been toiling away for a few weeks now on a dedicated podcast for Engadget readers with particularly sick, twisted cellphon

In order to navigate a place without a map, I try to find a large landmark of some sort and get my bearings from that, and then just explore explore explore, preferably on foot, or bike, until I can find a large number of places easily. For example, when I moved to Lawrence, KS, I used I-70 as my east-west landmark, and also the northern boundary of my explorations until I was more comfortable.Reply 7Jul 8th 2008 @ 1:32PM BB said...I usually learn my way around a new city by getting lost a lot....the GPS seems like a better way.Reply 8Jul 8th 2008 @ 1:32PM Syd said...I use laminated foldaway maps.

Before the event, Vanessa Fox came up to me and told me to blog about her. She doesn't work for Google anymore, though, so I don't know what she wants from us. Go away, Vanessa. I just took 8 pictures of Vanessa and she had her eyes closed in all but one of them. Wake up, girl. (Vanessa posing) Now, Danny and Marissa sit down and they're about to talk about really cool stuff at Google. Danny: How is the impact of universal search? Marissa: We're really happy about how it turned out. We changed a lot of the infrastructure. The users seem to be really liking it and finding what they're looking for. We know we have a way to go, though, but we wanted to go beyond 10 links and give better, richer answers. Search results should be like an encyclopedia - images, text, and other resources. Today we have images, video, news, and books integrated into the results. We will also try to pull in other results into the main SERPs. Danny: It's been interesting to see how the pages are evolving with AJAX like clicking on PlusBoxes in maps. Marissa: We have a few bells and whistles that we call zippies and are working really well. Danny: Do you think we'll get a lot of other results in time? Marissa: Yes, we're looking at things that are a lot more radical. Danny: Are we having more sources going into Google Video? Marissa: We want to organize the world's information to make it useful. It didn't make sense to organize videos just from Google Video and YouTube, so we're looking hard to incorporate other video properties. It's up to the content creator to decide where to put their videos. We want to find videos from all these places. Danny: Google Personalized Search ramped up and in May, web history was launched. How's that been going? Marissa: In the future of search, there are a lot of changes. We get better every single day. In 10-15 years, we will be better than we are now. We think we can see more relevance for the users and help them find their answers faster by knowing more about them. Many people are opting in for it. It's really interested to experiment with the new science of personalized search and how we use this data to get better relevancy. Marissa: We're trying to do this for ads and for search. They really need to match. The query and response should be the same. We want parity in the way we match ads and the user results so that people don't have to reconstruct their queries in artificial ways. Danny: What personalized options will be available in the future? Marissa: We're looking at things like locations, address books, web history, and we're asking our users to opt in for these features. Once we get those explicit opt-ins, we want to experiment to achieve more relevancy for personalized results. Danny: One of the comparisons is with Amazon - when you searched for music years ago and Amazon still tries to assume that I'm interested in it. How do you want to deal with that? Marissa: We want transparency and control. You can look at the information that Google has to personalize - the searches you've done, what you've clicked on, etc. You can remove that to reverse the effect of that particular action. Danny: What about subtle clicks? Marissa: That's a hard question. We've wondered if we should mark the results for personalization. But there's a spectrum. How much personalized results are being affected? If we mark personalized results and non-personalized results, it isn't the right model. We're looking at marking some of the results, but it's a gray area for us right now in how you should treat them. Danny polls the audience: how many people want to have their personalized results marked? (A good number of hands goes up.) Danny: You can't toggle results in the webmaster end for personalization. But Matt said you can add &pws=0 at the end of the URL? Can we have a button instead? Marissa: We've looked at having a toggle. Our view is that personalized results will become the default in the future because they provide a relevance boost to that user. We want personalized results. I think it's a valid request though. Danny: We're going through a lot of privacy which was kicked off by Google. Now everyone is doing that but you are still building detailed profiles of users. How do you deal with that? Marissa: For users who want a relevance boost, we're having people sign up for a service. As part of that signup, they agree to privacy policies which is there to protect them. We may have a longer history because you've opted in. We're ultimately putting these on systems that are more protected. Danny: We touched in the personalized experience and there's the iGoogle portal. You've had the growth in gadgets and now we have Facebook that people are saying is the new Google. How does Google view Facebook? Marissa: We're really happy with iGoogle and Gadgets. I see a lot of parallels with that and Facebook applications. With that said, there's a similar vain between both programs: they're open platforms. It's not necessarily a walled garden. The power of these programs is that anyone can create a gadget or a Facebook application. That's why they're both growing. Both provide a great opportunity to build a deeper relationship with users and also this is great for distribution. I have a Netflix queue and it's part of my homepage experience in iGoogle. It's a robust form of advertising. It's not a small piece of text; you can provide functionality and information that's responsive and interactive with the user. Danny: Do you have to go out and have a bunch of profiles on MySpace, Facebook, and LinkedIn to understand these services? Marissa: I have profiles on all these services. Danny: I wanted to know about other search engines. Wikia will be coming out to compete with Google. Jason Calacanis, a great friend of the SEO community (everyone laughs) decided to create Mahalo. How does Google deal with the human search engines? Marissa: Google is painted as the algorithmic purist. That's not our view. The algorithmic approach is important. That said, once you had the basic algorithm, you can layer human elements into it. We have properties like Google Co-op where people can label items and Google Notebook which has human interaction. But you need to layer the two together - algorithms and human elements to achieve relevance. Danny: Can you tell us about adding comments to Google News? Marissa: Google news has always been focused on providing clusters. We want to provide multiple viewpoints. Krishna, the engineer behind this, wanted people to see one story and also what other people were saying behind that topic or organized presentations. We want people to see that comments. Now only can people read these published articles but they can also read the commentary, so that's why we wanted it to be compelling. Danny: I wanted to shift over to Google Local. I wanted to talk about the usability in terms of fun or voyeurism of Google Street View? Marissa: Street view is all about finding things faster. It's nice to be able to see what a store looks like from a street address. We want people to find things faster. The product is not about looking at faces or license plates. We're going to blur the faces and license plates. The spirit of street view is more about understanding what places look like. Danny: A hot vertical is mobile search. Tell us about that. Marissa: Google is seeing more and more mobile activity. Mobile saw this big increase. It's clear to see that people are switching off their computers and switching on their cell phones. This is true even with the iPhone - there was a big bump. We launched 1-800-GOOG-411. There's a nice integration with that and the iPhone. You get free 411 service. From that service, you can search for a particular business names, categories of that business, and related results. When you're on the phone with them, you can say "Map It," it sends you the map in an SMS message. It's very interactive. (She illustrates it on her iPhone. She has an iPhone. Cool.) It's a particularly great application to get a lot of information. Later, Danny asks Marissa what her favorite non-Google property is. She says Facebook, particularly with the way you are able to connect to people and write about the connections. Then, Danny asks Marissa what her favorite Google property is. She says she cannot do that because it's like choosing a favorite child. But she likes web search, Book Search, and Google Desktop. Like The Story? Vote For It On Yahoo Buzz! Or On Sphinn!

- What To Do With My $6.95 Stimulus Payment Blogging Stocks - Http://Www.Bloggingstocks.Com/2008/06/19/What To Do With My 6 95 Stimulus Payment/ What to do with my $6.95 stimulus payment - BloggingStocks Budget travel destinations for 2009 AOL Money & Finance News Money Small Business Sports Technology Weather BloggingStocks Web Images Video News Local Companies A-B Companies C-D Companies E-K Companies L-R Companies S-Z Stock Picks Opinion Financial Countries Send Feedback What to do with my $6.95 stimulus paymentPosted Jun 19th 2008 11:46AM by Latif LewisFiled under: Consumer experience, Ford Motor (F), RecessionEver since Monday I've been stuck with a pressing dilemma: What to do with my economic stimulus payment. To be frank, I was actually surprised to receive a letter from the IRS this week since the payment schedule for those who had filed their returns electronically had passed. I assumed that I was unable to qualify for one. Without giving away my adjusted gross income, I always knew that I wouldn't get the full $600 that was distributed to most single taxpayers, but I wasn't exactly sure if I'd get a fraction of that. And I don't mean to seem ungrateful or anything, but when I read the letter and found out that I would receive a windfall of $6.95, as you can imagine, I was kind of taken aback, so I immediately called friends and family members to inform them of my newfound fortune. I mean, what exactly is a person to do with $6.95 in this day and age anyway? With soaring inflation, I'll be lucky to buy myself a one-way bus ticket down the block. At least consumers with full-sized payments took to the malls in the second quarter, boosting retail sales ? let's see how long that lasts. But I just don't know how my $6.95 is going to stimulate anything. I've narrowed my list of options. Here's what I've been grappling with. Drizzle my gas tank. I was thinking about running to the gas station and put 1 ? gallons of gas in my car, but that might not be a good idea. For $4 a gallon, by the time I get out of the gas station lot, I'll probably run out of gas. Buy a share of Ford (NYSE: F). This stock has been beaten to the pulp as gas prices have weakened auto sales. Maybe if I hold out I can gain a couple of dollars on my single share as the company gears up for a shift to smaller cars. Dollar stores watch out. I could go on a shopping spree at my local dollar store. I should be able to bag about six items plus tax, and at the same time help support some of these struggling mom and pop stores. Buy a box of Froot Loops. In my recent trips to the supermarket, I've cringed at the soaring prices of food. I'm thinking I might be able to stretch my dollar with a box of cereal. Yes, the boxes are smaller and sell for the same price, but at least I might be able to make several meals out of it.

Engadget Podcast 001 - 10.05.2004 / How-To: Podcasting (get Podcasts and make your own)by Phillip Torrone, posted Oct 5th 2004 at 8:15PM This week's How-To is a three part special complete with our first Engadget "Podcast" MP3. The first part is how to get "Podcasts" on your iPod. So what's a Podcast? To put it simply, a Podcast is an audio file, a MP3, most likely, in talk show format, along with a way to subscribe to the show and have it automatically delivered to your iPod when you plug in to iTunes. The show isn't live, so you can listen to it whenever you want. Doc Searls may have said it best: "PODcasting will shift much of our time away from an old medium where we wait for what we might want to hear to a new medium where we choose what we want to hear, when we want to hear it, and how we want to give everybody else the option to listen to it as well." For the second part of the how-to you can listen to a Podcast we made featuring Lenn Pryor and Phillip Torrone. It's about 40 minutes long, and we're thinking about doing one each week (let us know what you think, this was just a test). The third part of the how-to is about making your own Podcast. Think of this as DIY Radio. We looked around for resources, and while there were many ways to do this, most required buying some sort of sound software application, so for our how-to we're using a Mac, GarageBand (came free with our Mac), and two free sound tools. Getting Podcasts on your iPod Here are the Mac and PC ways to download the Podcast MP3s, with listings for some different feeds (audio shows) following. Mac On the Mac side of things, there?s iPodderX, which is basically a newsreader that reads RSS 2.0 feeds with enclosures. It takes those enclosures and automatically downloads them in the background. If the file is an audio file, it then moves it to iTunes for download to your iPod, so with iPodderX you constantly have fresh content to listen to. iPodderX downloads any type of file, (even Torrents) so you can wake up in the morning with a fresh set of audio shows, video programs, or whatever else you?ve subscribed to. PC iPodder.NET is a media aggregator that automatically downloads content to your machine. All you have to do is subscribe to RSS feeds, and your machine handles the rest for you. It integrates automatically with iTunes, creating playlists and synching with your attached iPod. The Feeds Once you?ve installed the Podcast retriever, add some feeds to which ever application you?re going to use. Now, if you don?t want to use a tool to automatically download the MP3 podcast you can right click / option click this link and grab the MP3 directly. The good part about this method is that you don?t need an iPod, just anything that plays MP3s. Here are some feeds that are currently floating around. Engadget PodCast feed (our beta) http://www.engadget.com/common/videos/pt/rss.xml Adam Curry?s Daily Source Code http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/dailySourceCode/rss.xml Dave Slusher?s Evil Genius Chronicles http://www.evilgeniuschronicles.org/audio/bittorrent.rss (Torrent Feed) http://www.evilgeniuschronicles.org/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/index.rss20 (MP3 Feed) Dave Winer?s The Scripting News http://www.scripting.com/rss.xml Legal Torrents http://www.legaltorrents.com/musicrss.xml Others Keep an eye out here for new feeds, on podcaster.net, podcasts.org as well as googling for ?podcasts?? and also check out the Podcaster?s Yahoo Groups list. We?re also going to ping some friends who do web shows as well and see if we can help get their files up in Podcastable format. We?d love to see Off the Hook and Off the Wall, just to name a few. Making your own Podcast We suspect there are going to be a zillion ways to make your own Podcast, after we show you how we set up ours, we?ve also including some links for other methonds that people have posted up. Once we figure out how to do the same with our PC, we?ll have another how to on that as well. The main reason you need to do anything other than hit record in a sound app for a Podcast is you?re likely to want to have other people talking, with a proper Podcast you can use iChat and record both parties talking as well as mixing in music. In our first attempt we were able to invite a friend and talk, play music as well as feed other sounds, all recording to one final track in GarageBand. Ingredients for our Podcast recording set up Mac (15-inch G4 Powerbook) Headphones Microphone (we used the built-in mic) Garage Band SoundFlower + SoundBed (free) Line-In (free) We?re going to assume you have your Mac set up, Garageband is installed, headphones, mic and you have iChat running. We?re also going to list the applications that need to be downloaded, then how to configure them all. Soundflower The first apps to download are Soundflower and Soundbed. Soundflower is a Mac OS X system extension that allows applications to pass audio to other applications. Soundflower presents itself as an audio device, allowing any audio application to send and receive audio with no other support needed. Once you install the Soundflower application, you?ll need to restart. Then it?s time to run SoundBed. SoundBed When using Soundflower to send audio to and from applications, you may find that you are not able to send audio through another device to monitor audio output. In those situations you can use Soundflowerbed, an application that resides in the Finder?s Menubar allowing you to tap into Soundflower channels and route them to an audio device. While this is not required, it makes it easy to test audio devices and turn it all on and off. Line-In Line-In is a simple application for OS X to enable the soft playthru of audio from input devices. In simpler terms , you can use LineIn to play sound coming in through a microphone or any other device plugged in to your Sound In port.Configuring the applicationsOnce you downloaded and installed the applications, now it's time to route all the audio to their final destination: GarageBand.Using SoundflowerOpen the Sound Preferences (Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sound).Click Sound Effects and select "Built-in Audio: Headphones". This will play any sound effects through the headphones and not into the recording.Click Output and click Soundflower (2ch). Before you do this you may want to adjust the volume, which is what you're hearing in the headphones. Click Input, again, adjusting the Input level if needed, and then Select Soundflower (2ch). Later, if you want to turn Soundflower on or off on the fly, you can use Soundbed by opening it now, it appears in the FInder's menubar as a flower.Line-InNext up, Line-In. Open the application and click "Enabled" "Built-in Audio" in the Input Device area and for Source choose "Internal Microphone".For Output in the Line-In under device choose "Soundflower (2ch) and for source default. This will take the microphone sound and add it to the Soundflower audio, which is where we're pushing all the audio to and then recording it.iChat settingsOpen up iChat and go to iChat > Preferences > Video.For Microphone choose "Soundflower (2ch) and for Sound Output choose "Soundflower 2ch" again. This takes the iChat sound (the person you're going to chat with) and adds that to Soundflower for recording.GarageBandOpen up Garageband, it will likely ask you to start a new song, so click "Create New Song". You can name yours whatever you want, and Save As any location you wish on your system. We chose test and put it on our Desktop. When starting a project, you also have other options such as Tempo, Time, Key, bpm, but we're leaving those all as default, since we're not going to be recording a song. Click Create.When GarageBand starts up, it will automatically have a Grand Piano track, click that track and then delete it (Track > Delete > Track). Add a new track, Track > New Track. Click "Real Instrument" Vocals and "No Effects". Also Choose "Stereo" in the Format selection. Click OK. In preferences (GarageBand > Preferences > Audio/MIDI choose "Built-in Audio" for Audio Output and for "Soundflower (2ch) for Audio Input. This will take all our sounds and record them directly in to GarageBand.You are now ready to record. Believe it or not, this is the easy way to do this for now, though we suspect there will be a simple application that will do all of this (just like blogging started out complicated, then all these great tools hit the market). Once you hit record, you're on your way. To add sound, we opened up MP3 files in Quicktime and played them in the beginning and end of the show. We also tested to see if playing sounds from website (Macromedia Flash) would get recorded too, and it does, so that means there's a lot of potential to choose what types of sounds, music, and effects you want to add to a broadcast.You can either have your friend on iChat before or after you start recording. We had our pal on the entire time just to do some testing, and that's what we're going to suggest here. Do some tests and bang away until all the settings are working and the results are what you're happy with. Once you've finished recording, click the record button again to stop recording. You can also click the rewind button here to listen to your handywork and make any edits if you wanted to.Exporting to iTunesClick File > Export to iTunes to export to iTunes, this is where we're going to convert it to a MP3. iTunes will then open up and you can listen to it there as well, but we're not done yet.Exporting to MP3iTunes can convert the huge file we just sent over to it and convert it to a MP3 all with the built in encoder.

Toshiba's building a "Micro Nuclear" reactor for your garage?by Paul Miller, posted Dec 19th 2007 at 11:40AMAlright, details are slim, and we really have no idea if Toshiba has any plans whatsoever to sell these nuclear reactors to consumers -- in fact, we hope it doesn't -- but it does seem like the company is well on its way to commercializing the design. Toshiba's Micro Nuclear reactors are designed to power a single apartment building or city block, and measure a mere 20-feet by 6-feet. The 200 kilowatt reactor is fully automatic and fail-safe, and is completely self-sustaining. It uses special liquid lithium-6 reservoirs instead of traditional control rods, and can last up to 40 years, making energy for about 5 cents per kilowatt hour. Toshiba has been testing the reactors since 2005, and hopes to install its first reactor in Japan in 2008, with marketing to Europe and America in 2009. Oh, and we lied: we totally want one of these in our garage.[Via Dvorak Uncensored]Read - Next Energy NewsRead - Roland's Tech Trends (2005)PermalinkEmail this147 CommentsFiled under: HouseholdTags: micro nuclear, MicroNuclear, nuclear, toshiba Subscribe to these commentsReader Comments (Page 1 of 3) Highly RankedJonathan-DBOSS @ Dec 19th 2007 11:45AMWill it come in black?Reply Neutralmr friggles @ Dec 19th 2007 12:09PMCan't wait pre-order two and tell them for %50,000,00 a piece on ebay. Neutralmr friggles @ Dec 19th 2007 12:10PMI typed that wrong. See my post below for the create typing. Highly RankedFlashpoint @ Dec 19th 2007 12:57PMFinally, enough power for my Xbox360 Highly RankedLarz @ Dec 19th 2007 1:56PMIt's unfortunate that Nuclear power got a bad rap. Our society would be so much more advanced if the mistakes of the past were avoided. Nuclear power is so much cleaner, healthier, cheaper, and safer than what we're currently using (burning coal still provides most of our power in the US). Perhaps someday... and when that someday comes, I too hope they come in black. Low RankedAlexP @ Dec 19th 2007 2:22PMBetter than coal/pretro burning? Radioactivity takes millions if not BILLIONS of years to disappear. Both cause ailments to humans, but I think we know which one's the worse when it comes to health effects. Not to mention that storing nuclear waste is expensive as hell.At least Earth has the ability to start a washing cycle (ice age) if the air gets too hot. NeutralAlexP @ Dec 19th 2007 2:26PMAnyway, I'm just frustrated because a lot of you seem to think that fission-based energy has become bulletproof over the last couple of years.I'm sorry, but it hasn't. I'd rather wait for fusion reactors. Highly RankedLarz @ Dec 19th 2007 2:48PM"Radioactivity takes millions if not BILLIONS of years to disappear."All the more reason to switch. Burning coal produces more radioactive waste than nuclear. Highly RankedTrent @ Dec 19th 2007 2:49PMThe newest nuclear fission reactor designs are pretty much failsafe. They are designed such that if heat (excess heat is the cause of every single reactor mishap) starts to increase beyond acceptable limits that the very design of the "pebbles" causes the nuclear material to increase it's distance from it's neighbor thus slowing the reaction and heat production dramatically. People can walk away from these reactors and the cooling systems can be shut off and they will shut themselves down automatically. The system is designed such that runaway heat causes the nuclear material to separate. It's a good design that causes excess heat to work against the reaction rather than relying solely on cooling systems that can fail. Now I don't know how this system works but it sounds less like a traditional fission-->steam-->power system and more like a nuclear battery where the very radiation from the nuclear material generates the power. And lets get a fact straight. Burning coal dumps hundreds of tons of radium, uranium and a dozen other highly radioactive materials into the atmosphere through the smokes stacks. In fact so much radioactive material comes out of the stacks of coal power plants that worldwide we dump more radiation into the environment every year than was released at Chernobyl. Think about that when you think coal is safer than nuclear power. Coal is probably the WORST energy source (from an environmental perspective) on this planet. Oil isn't far behind as it also contains lots of nasties (although most are removed during refinement), but it's politically a disaster. The cleanest fossil fuel is gas and there isn't enough of it on this planet to meet our needs. Nuclear fission as a baseline combined with a large percentage of renewable sources should be the energy policy of choice for the USA. And if you want to wait for Fusion you are going to be waiting a LONG time. IF ITER gets built in the next 20 years (which is doubtful given it's history) they MIGHT learn enough about fusion such that in 50 YEARS, after ITER is torn down, or so they MIGHT be able to commercialize fusion. Personally I wouldn't bet money on it. I would wager that fussion won't be even a possibility until the next century (2200AD. Neutralw00fy @ Dec 19th 2007 4:31PMNot to mention, coal also dumps other nasty stuff like cadmium, mercury, and other heavy metals. Then there are the tons of greenhouse and smog gases dumped into atmosphere. Nuclear is our best hope for reversing global warming. Neutralfontendet24 @ Dec 19th 2007 4:21PMThat's a really great business model - 1. the reactor itself will cost very well + 2. Toshiba will make maintenance every month - for stability and security - and it will cost additional money for consumer/householder. Highly RankedRedsyrup @ Dec 19th 2007 5:01PMIf it's good enough for the sun, then it's good enough for me. Highly Rankedaguiluz @ Dec 19th 2007 5:07PMAnd, It comes with a self destruct button too. Low RankedAlexP @ Dec 19th 2007 5:18PMAbout coal: well, in all honesty we don't burn coal here, so I didn't know about that. But I'm still against fission plants nonetheless, the long-term costs simply are not worth it. Pardon my ignorance about coal. Neutraljmattick @ Dec 19th 2007 11:45AMI'm not one to fear-monger, but doesn't this have the ability to become a dirty bomb fairly easily?I mean, that's if it has real nuclear material in it, and even if it doesn't, I'm sure whatever it is using as a catalyst isn't safe if it were to be used in nefarious ways.Reply NeutralJared @ Dec 19th 2007 11:48AMNot necessarily, just because it has radioactive material doesn't make it weapons grade. Highly RankedFlashpoint @ Dec 19th 2007 11:49AMDirty Bombs are made with highly radioactive material from fission reactors (nuclear waste, fuel rods, etc).Lithium-6 is not highly radioactive so it wouldn't likely be used in a Dirty Bomb.This is the reason FUSION power would be so important in the future.#1 the waste from Fusion reactors has much shorter radioactive half lives.#2 the products from Fusion can't be used to make nuclear weapons.#3 Fusion would be cleaner and safer provided we had the technology to enclose the reaction under tremendous heat/pressure. Neutraltom @ Dec 19th 2007 11:53AMImagine the whole apartment's residences going impotent hahahahahha NeutralPhil Perman @ Dec 19th 2007 11:58AMLithium-6 is only in there in place of control rods, basically so absorb Neutrons and control the reaction rate.Its a nuclear reactor, therefore has to contain nuclear material and thus can be made into a dirty bomb. You don't need weapons grade stuff in it as you use conventional explosives in a dirty bomb and the nuclear material is a payload is it were.Oh and @ Flashpoint in particular, Fusion doesn't use any radioactive materials at all and doesn't produce any radioactive products, rather than products with shorter half-lives. Highly RankedRandy @ Dec 19th 2007 12:03PMWhen you can't readily buy Nuclear material and a Reactor, and people like you fear mongering that it can be used in nefarious ways, the terrorists have Won. ;-) NeutralPhil Perman @ Dec 19th 2007 12:12PMThats odd, Flashpoint's response to my message appeared down under Randy's comment a few down (yet I got an email about about the reply, I didn't think you could reply to replies, how did you manage that? :S) Anyway, I'll keep it in this thread.Yes Fusion produces waste, but that waste happens to be Helium, a completely inert gas. Pretty much as safe as you can get. Neutraljus10 @ Dec 19th 2007 1:33PMTritium is radioactive. It has a 12 year half-life which isn't bad but it is still radioactive. When Lithium-6 catches those neutrons a by product is Tritium which can be fed back into the reactor. While its not plutonium, there are still radioactive elements in a fusion reactor. NeutralXzavier @ Dec 19th 2007 1:54PM@ RandyDon’t blame the population for being terrified out of their minds from the "Invisible Terrorist" scattered through America, aka “Sleeper Cells”... Blame the Government and the Mass Media.Also... does anybody even know what a dirty bomb is and how much damage it can do?http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/dirty-bombs.html NeutralIndiaTech @ Dec 19th 2007 2:00PM@FlashFusion Reaction needs High Pressure and Temperature to take place. Comparable to Sun's core. This kind of Pressure and Temperature is humanly impossible to recreate.In a Fusion Reactor or a Fusion Bomb (The H Bomb) First, a Fission Reaction is initialted which produces the required Temp and Pressure. Hydrogen atoms are then introducted and "secondary" Fusion Reaction takes place. Fusion Reactions are much complicated and much more cannot be controlled as easily as fission reactions. Th

- Alcoa Shares Higher After Not As Bad As Expected Earnings Blogging Stocks - Http://Feeds.Feedburner.Com/~R/Weblogsinc/Bloggingstocks/~3/330217041/ Alcoa shares higher after not-as-bad-as-expected earnings - BloggingStocks Massively explains Warhammer Online to the dedicated WoW player AOL Money & Finance News Money Small Business Sports Technology Weather BloggingStocks Web Images Video News Local Companies A-B Companies C-D Companies E-K Companies L-R Companies S-Z Stock Picks Opinion Financial Countries Send Feedback Alcoa shares higher after not-as-bad-as-expected earningsPosted Jul 8th 2008 6:23PM by Melly AlazrakiFiled under: Earnings reports, Alcoa Inc (AA)If you look at financial sites' headlines, they mostly say (nearly scream through the titles) that Alcoa beat the Street.And it's true. Analysts estimated some set of earnings numbers for the aluminum giant, and Alcoa Inc. (NYSE: AA), reporting after the close, beat those numbers. Specifically, Alcoa reported a second-quarter profit of $546 million, or 66 cents a share, on revenue of $7.6 billion, beating what analysts polled by FactSet Research were looking for, a profit of 65 cents a share on sales of $7.37 billion. But really, those earnings were down from $715 million, or 81 cents a share, a year earlier, and even if the recent quarter's charge of $39 million, or 5 cents a share, is taken into account (bringing earnings per share to 71 cents), profit is still lower. However -- and perhaps that's the silver lining Wall Street is looking at -- sales rose 11% when the divested business revenue is excluded from last year's revenue. The declines in profit were mostly blamed on, not surprisingly, higher costs that rising aluminum prices couldn't keep pace with. Despite increasing its shipping by 1.3% and increasing the average realized price per metric ton of aluminum by 6.2%, this wasn't enough to deal with soaring energy and raw material costs.Other problems investors were aware of include more than enough supply of the metal to meet the lower demand in North America and Europe following the housing and auto markets' declines. In markets where demand grows for the metal, Alcoa faces tougher competition.Alcoa shares soared as much as 6% initially in after-hours trading but have recently (5:42 p.m.) changed hands 3.2% higher at $33.36. It seems that more than anything, Alcoa's results helped calm a very jittery market, nervous about second-quarter earnings, which are expected to be 10% lower for the Dow Jones companies.Going forward, though, Alcoa has plans to reduce costs by looking for cheaper sources of energy, which accounts for a third of the cost of producing the metal. Still, costs aren't expected to improve much in the next few quarters, and barring a change in aluminum pricing, demand or production, Alcoa will undoubtedly struggle with costs in the near future.Tags: aa, alcoa, earnings, inthenewsPermalinkEmail this Share Print thisComments [0] Related PostsAlcoa's results were awful (18 days ago - 0 Comments)Earnings highlights: Citigroup, Intel, JPMorgan, Alcoa, Apple and others (13 days ago - 0 Comments)The week in preview: Alcoa, Intel kick off new earnings season (19 days ago - 5 Comments)S&P Q4 earnings season: Hoping for the best, bracing for the worst (18 days ago - 0 Comments)Before the call: Alcoa Q4 earnings expectations (18 days ago - 0 Comments) Featured PostsStock pick and pans for troubled times: TIVO, MCD, BAA, SJM, AVP, SYK, CL ...Five winning Super Bowl tradesWill the slowing economy hurt or help the new Wal-Mart CEO?

MovieBeam shutting down operations on December 15thby Nilay Patel, posted Dec 5th 2007 at 6:52PMMovieBeam is calling customers today and telling them that the datacasting HD movie service is ceasing operations as of December 15th, with certain customers eligible for a refund on the hardware. It's been rocky going for the company since spinning off from Disney a couple years ago, with a series of investments and acquisitions along the way, but none of the owners ever really managed to make the limited-selection, high-DRM, wonky-quality movie rental business model really work. Although we're always sad to see another gadget fade into that sweet night, something tells us we're not going to mourn for long.[Thanks, Dustin]PermalinkEmail this52 CommentsFiled under: Home EntertainmentTags: moviebeam, rip powered by SphereRelated Articles From EngadgetEngadget HD's Holiday Giveaway: win a VUDU movie set-top-box!36 days agoMovie studios & theater operators agree to expand the number of digital...121 days agoComcast set to begin bandwidth capping come October 1st154 days agoSee More Related Articles and Blog Posts Subscribe to these commentsReader Comments (Page 1 of 2) Highly Rankeddfn_doe @ Dec 5th 2007 7:03PMGood times. Head to ebay right now to buy a lot of 200 of these boxes for about a dollar a piece... I wonder how hackable the hardware is.Reply Highly RankedDavid @ Dec 5th 2007 7:53PMIt is not hackable at all. Everything is encrypted down the the hard drive. It has a hardware encryption chip on the hard drive itself. NeutralJamie @ Jan 10th 2008 10:30AMIf MovieBeam enabled the ethernet port as another option for movie delivery, it would make the service accessible to almost every customer who has a broadband connection, not just the customers within OTA signal coverage. The OTA method was not good, even if they did stay around, they wouldn't of lasted past 2009 when the FCC ruling would require mandatory digital signal conversion. It would of required upgrading or adding a digital tuner on every MB box.Not to mention, ethernet connectivity could of helped in billing (instead of a phone line) in addition to adding numerous interactive features. They could of been competing with digital cable services and streamed regular TV as well. They should of took me on to lead engineering and management. :-) (I'm available, BusyWithBiz@gmail.com)-Fred S. NeutralAdam @ Dec 5th 2007 7:20PMI won one of these units from their website about year ago. I plugged it in, turned it on, watched some trailers and then promptly forgot about it, I never watched a single movie on it. I suppose your business model is pretty screwed when a technofile won't even bother to use your free product.Reply Neutralmushrooshi @ Dec 5th 2007 7:26PMHeh, the remotes were crap too.Me and my firend were having a bet over when Moviebeam would shut down, he said June 2008, I said November 2007, I won...5 [imaginary] dollars.Reply Low Rankedmushrooshi @ Dec 5th 2007 7:26PMHeh, the remotes were crap too.Me and my friend were having a bet over when Moviebeam would shut down, he said June 2008, I said November 2007, I won...5 [imaginary] dollars.Reply Low Rankedmushrooshi @ Dec 5th 2007 7:27PMHeh, the remotes were crap too.Me and my friend were having a bet over when Moviebeam would shut down, he said June 2008, I said November 2007, I won...5 [imaginary] dollars.Reply Neutralkastonie @ Dec 5th 2007 7:31PMHeh, the remotes were crap too.Me and my friend were having a bet over when Moviebeam would shut down, he said June 2008, I said November 2007, I won...5 [imaginary] dollars.Reply Neutralkastonie @ Dec 5th 2007 7:32PMhey wait a minute......

NeutralJoe @ Dec 5th 2007 7:42PM"Although we're always sad to see another gadget fade into that sweet night, something tells us we're not going to mourn for long."Is that a subtle reference to Macworld?Reply NeutralMickeyMoo @ Dec 5th 2007 7:53PMI'm thinking TivoBox @ CES... NeutralMickeyMoo @ Dec 5th 2007 7:56PMBrain Fart - sorry - meant to say NetFlixBox NeutralDavid @ Dec 5th 2007 7:52PMI actually have one of these. Got it for free. The standard def content was very good quality. Pricing was competitive as well. The delivery method was, however, horrendous.Reply NeutralCleverboy @ Dec 6th 2007 4:58AMWhen they first came out, I think their prices sucked. I immediately stopped paying attention, but it looks like they got better. The addition of "Popular Pictures" for $1.99 is not bad at all. The other prices still suck though. It's amusing that a company like RedBox could rent DVDs for 99 cents a pop, per night, and MovieBeam couldn't figure out a way to hit that same price point with NO physical media involved. Really! Unbelievable. If someone told me I could rent the latest movies for 99 cents/night, and I didn't have to leave the house... and the box only cost $150, I think I wouldn't be alone in being all over that device like a rash. --Instead, they charge you up the wazoo for the average new release... even though there is NO disc being passed around.Oh well. CYA MovieBeam.~ CB NeutraleX @ Dec 6th 2007 11:35AMIndeed it does, the motherboard in it albeit using standard platform has proprietary chips that prevent any mods. I got myself a box for $1 at a closing CompUSA hoping to retool it for something or use the hdd out of it. I had zero luck and there's little to no info on it online. I don't care about the movies on the hdd but it cannot be reused apparently. I know the box runs some flavor of linux but company who makes for mobo for it wouldn't even reply to my email. I ended up gutting most of the stuff inside and retooled the front wires and portion of the original mobo connectors and hooked them up to my via mini itx board and the piece ended up being a media pc. The enclosure faired nicely for that purpose actually, although needed quite a bunch of mods done to it. Too bad they made it so proprietary that it cannot be given a second life as it is. Neutralciscoguerrero @ Dec 5th 2007 8:15PMSad to see them go. I met some of the senior management team for a position and they seemed cool if a bit too optimistic. But they had a horrendous agreements with the studios for movies, dates to show movies, pricing, and limited customer input in the movie selection etc... and their HD content never quite made it. All that made it nearly impossible to come up with good consumer promotions. They did have the equipment set up with network lines for the eventual online downloads to happen, but Vudu/Apple TV got them first. Plus, their boxes were non-hackable. if they were maybe some people would've gotten the service and added hacked features.Their GUI was Tivo-simple and nice, weird remote and weird shaped boxes though. I guess Hollywood Video just wasted a cool $8MM bucks. In the end, glad I didn't end up working there. Reply Highly Rankedandy @ Dec 5th 2007 8:19PM@Engadget "MovieBeam is calling customers today and telling them that the datacasting HD movie service is ceasing operations as of December 15th"Oh my god; do you know how long it would take to call 250 people!Reply NeutralDex @ Dec 5th 2007 8:46PMIt would be nice if, now that they are ceasing operations, they would finally release the GPL code and toolchain for their system. Some things I know.... based on ARM uCLinux, busybox, modified version of ReiserFS, special kernel module to lock the hard disk. They use digital signatures to ensure legitimate code is executed. I'm wondering, now that they are gone, what that does to the user agreement that prohibits reverse engineering.Reply Neutralcrow610 @ Dec 5th 2007 8:48PMI was thinking that the movie were downloaded via the customers Internet connection but it seems that the movies sent through some other medium. Can someone explain? Reply NeutralMegaZone @ Dec 5th 2007 11:24PMThe movies used OTA broadcast spectrum. They were trickled in spare bandwidth purchased from local broadcasters. A really inefficient way to do things - and it also meant incomplete coverage as not all areas had a broadcast partner.It was a bad idea, really. It might've made sense 10 years ago, when most users were still on modems, or ISDN, and broadband was something to dream about. Neutralcrow610 @ Dec 6th 2007 3:18AMAhhh..thanks for the heads up.

Saturday, January 31, 2009 ? Project Islamic Hope: Ashanti Should Be Ashamed of Herself By Njai Joszor | Posted on 06/10/08 | Filed Under: R&B News, Ashanti R&B singer Ashanti is busy promoting her new album The Declaration, but today the singer and her label Universal Music/Motown are the subject of protest. A coalition led by the civil rights organization Project Islamic Hope and the Industry Ears organization are set to protest the singers video and parody website for The Way That I Love You in Los Angeles calling the video a glorification of violence as a tool to settle disputes. "Ashanti should be ashamed of herself. Her participation in the glorification of violence in her music video sends a horrible message to thousands of impressionable youths worldwide who are accessing the unedited video that is being promoted by Universal Music/Motown on their website," stated Najee Ali Founder of Project Islamic Hope According to Industry Ears co-founder Paul Hope, "Universal Music and Motown continue to promote black violence and stereotypes without corporate responsibility. Ashanti's senseless promotion is evidence that commercial hip hop is dying fast. Hopefully Doug Morris at Universal will explain why his company is insensitive to urban violence."

Bless 6/11/2008 4:10:31 AM Get real!! Leave Ashanti alone. First of all youth need to get there mentoring from the home. She has depicted anything in her video that they don't see or haven't seen on the six oclock news. Give the youth more credit than that. Are you basically saying that the youth are too dumb and ignorant to know the difference between right and wrong!! Thats something God gives everyone rather they use it or not. LEAVE ASHANTI ALONE . You just do you and let her do her. 32 6/10/2008 5:40:23 PM all i got2 say is shes not realli promoting violence bcuz if they watch da whole video at da end it shows how she thinks about it and then decides not 2 bcuz its not worth all of da drama dat goes with killing someone over cheating on u... GV 6/10/2008 3:55:44 PM No no no no no no no no no! People are jus tryna find sumthn else 2 complain about! Ashanti is not promoting violence- She doesnt even kill in the video its all jus in her head cuz at the end she jus throws the fone at her man. Its so dum ppl get a life! TAkn things too seriously! Its a creative original music video and thas the way people should c it! M 6/10/2008 12:56:18 PM Are you kidding me!? Please, someone tell me they are. Why are they targeting Ashanti? Because her video is violent? What about the hundreds of rap artists out there who has gun shots as music beats? Who has females shaking their @ss and wearing close to nothing like its ok? Why aren't they targeting them? Ashanti shouldn't be ashamed of herself, project Islamic Hope should. They have nothing better to do. Miz U Better Kn0 6/10/2008 12:50:50 PM It's true that they video is kinda giving out the message that violence is okay but it's coming form the relationship point of view, I understand where she is coming from though. you sometimes wonder why things change and when you find out its a big shock and you just react and not think!!!!!!

For many of you readers this is going to be old news--how to throw away locked or busy files--but for those of you who are new to OS X and the Macintosh, you may appreciate the basic how-to steps that the video offers. You don't actually need a third-party product to dispose of an application, but many OS X users like to keep their systems clean and tight.Tags: OS X, OsX, primer, Trash, tutorialSourcePrint thisWith HP wireless printers, you could have printed this from any room in the house.Live wirelessly.

That one's been around since long before OS X - I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned.Reply ??report8Liam Dunaway said 5:22PM on 2-08-2007seriously, just sudo rm that stuff!Reply ??report9M-A. said 6:15PM on 2-08-2007Does anyone know a great website to learn all those terminal commands ?Are they the same as in Linux ?ThanksReply ??report10Manuel said 7:10PM on 2-08-2007The commands are the Unix ones, so yes they are the same as Linux, checkout this webpage http://www.indiana.edu/~uitspubs/b017/ although what I recommend you is to use the "apropos" command to find the command you need to use and the "man namecommand" to read the documentation. Try it doing "man apropos".Reply ??report11Hello said 12:47AM on 2-09-2007I currently use AppZapper. How does AppDelete compare to AppZapper?Reply ??report12japtor said 3:24AM on 2-09-2007the problem with just rm'ing when something is in use is that it doesnt actually free up the space until the item stops being in use. its just sort of in purgatory and still taking up space until then. (but then again, its not a huge issue unless its a big file and you are low on space)Reply ??report13Jan-Paul Bultmann said 6:04AM on 2-09-2007You can also delete files that are in use by just klicking secure empty trash.^^Reply ??report14Sky Van Idersitne said 12:22AM on 2-23-2007Hi, I am the creator of this video, and I am honored to have it posted on tuaw.com.

I woke up on Boxing Day (which coincidentally is also my son's birthday) to discover that the traffic to the iPhone version of AOL Mobile Search doubled on Christmas Day. It seems all those Christmas gifts got unwrapped and everybody started searching. We did not see a similar increase in traffic for our Blackberry, Windows Mobile or other versions of Mobile Search that day. So if you're following the mobile wars between Apple, RIM, Nokia and Microsoft it looks like Cupertino has the lead. Based on our logs here's what's most popular among the new iPhone crowd:Most Popular Application: AIMMost Popular Web Site: MySpaceMost Popular Celebrity: Jennifer AnistonMost Popular Gift: Stanley ToolsMost Popular Xmas site: Santa TrackerIf you're a new iPhone user, we'd love to hear what you think of AOL Mobile Search.
