When Aliph released the original Jawbone nearly two years ago, I felt as if I was the only person in the world that didn’t like the look, thought the design too bulky, and wasn’t all that impressed by the company’s “noise shield”. So how do I feel about the Jawbone 2? Well, let me put [...]
For those of you that haven’t discovered The Guild yet, now is a good time to catch up on the many videos on YouTube. This award winning online series is a humorous, and sadly a fairly accurate portrayal of guild roles in many MMOs. Alright, not entirely accurate, but my guild definitely has [...]
Now I can’t play Mahjong (apart from the Titans version Vista ships with) but that doesn’t stop me wanting this awesome mechanical table that automatically shuffles and presents game tiles. The AOTOMO Automatic Mahjong Table is a Chinese-made gaming machine and is apparently silent in operation. It uses special magnetic tiles and an array of [...]
Sylvain Calinon is a teacher, but his student doesn’t have to stop in the afternoon for milk, cookies and a nap. That’s because Calinon is teaching a small robot, in this case various kinesthetic and learning skills. And in the end, the robot could be making the cookies on its own - the [...]
Over at PHONE Magazine we’ve got more hands-on footage and photos of the new HTC Touch Diamond than you could shake a stick at. After the smartphone’s launch today in London, Vincent had some playtime with the device and came away decidedly impressed. Watching the video, it’s hard not to see why: HTC have done [...]
After some clever lateral thinking over at the TiVo Community forums there’s now a way for users to remotely control their PVR via anything with network access and a telnet client. It’s all thanks to Crestron, who worked with TiVo back when the company was developing v9.1 of the set-top box software; they added support for [...]
For some reason, this Micro Orb spy camera makes me think of Columbo-star Peter Falk. Perhaps if the TV detective had been fitted with a 1.5-inch sphere capturing 30fps MPEG-4 video (with sound), gathering evidence might’ve been even easier. On sale in mid-May, the video camera has a three hour rechargeable battery and can record [...]
Lenovo have released a promotional video and - even more exciting - a firm pre-order date for their IdeaPad U110 ultraportable. The notebook, which was announced back in January just prior to CES 2008, has an 11-inch screen with a “frameless” zero-profile bezel, 1.3-megapixel webcam and face-recognition biometrics. Lenovo will be open to U110 pre-orders tomorrow, Tuesday [...]
It’s been a week of ultraportables, frankly, with enough budget laptops vying for the Eee’s crown to make the whole market more than a little confusing. Medion announced their Akoya E1210 while 3K unveiled their own alternative; meanwhile, MSI finally released some decent photos of the Wind. Thankfully there’s now a comprehensive list of all [...]
Psystar likely expected to incur the wrath of Apple at some point during their OS X clone business, but they perhaps didn’t predict the amount of ire from outraged Mac fans. Having been branded both criminals and vaporware-peddlers, the company has attempted to rebuke at least the latter of those accusations with a video purporting [...]
