Sony HDR-TG1 – it’s shiny, still kind of iffy on performance
By James Allan Brady on Monday, Apr 14th 2008 No CommentsBlu-Ray won, but is it better for the consumer?
By James Allan Brady on Friday, Apr 11th 2008 17 CommentsSo Toshiba conceded in the Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD battle and all of their mates quickly fell with them. Since then things haven’t gotten better for the consumer. Sure your new PS3 comes with a Blu-Ray player and that makes it a nice format, but HD-DVD had affordable prices for both its players and discs, Blu-Ray players are still astronomically priced almost making the PS3 the most economical option.

DIY instant messenger online contact signalizer picture frame thingy – says the creator
By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Apr 9th 2008 No CommentsThis nifty little gadget was created in an effort to make it possible to see who was online from across the room, or just in passing. So he took some pictures of the few people who he truly cared when they were online, put some LED lights behind them, and then did a lot of more technical stuff to make the lights light up when that person was online.
Nokia N810 running Android OS – could be better than OS2008 for the N810
By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Apr 9th 2008 No CommentsSome enterprising fellows over at eLinux.org have found a way to get Google’s Android OS onto a Nokia N810 with its OMAP2 chips, which means this particular hack should also work with some Sharp Zaurus models. Anyways, the Android OS looks simply heavenly on the N810 and just goes to further prove that the OS isn’t limited by a cellular connection, it can work on a broad range of mobile devices.
