Man, we’re clearly in the wrong line of work. It seems that being in the FCC means that you can basically ignore everything else going on so long as you squint really hard and pretend to make progress on an imminent event that’s just over two months ago. Sure, we’re just bitter, but we’re struggling [...]
Nintendo’s fended off class-action lawsuits over “defective” Wiimote straps in the past, and if you remember, they also replaced about 3.2 million of the straps (a/k/a “all of them”) around the same time too — way back in December of 2006. Well, the same lawyer’s back for round two with a new, nearly identical suit, [...]
Hang tight, kiddos — Toshiba’s about to take you on a wild, unpredictable ride through the untamed wilderness where Qosmios are born. The outfit has just unleashed some 20 new Dynabook models over in Japan, with the most notable additions coming in the gamer-oriented Qosmio FX (15.4-inch) and GX (18.4-inch) and the SpursEngine-equipped G50 [...]
For all the digital download pundits who are quick to harp on the “limited viewing window” of downloadable material, chew on this. In a move that can only be described as “miraculous progress,” Japan’s own Tsutaya has somehow twisted the arms of four US film companies in order to allow HD content to be recorded [...]
It’s hardly the first example of the technology — we saw a very similar system from Delphi in action at CES last year — but Mercedes-Benz’s new SPLITVIEW COMMAND system appears to be one of the first instances of it being used in a production vehicle, and that certainly counts for something. From the looks [...]
Here it is, the review you’ve been waiting for. Are all those Hz worth all those dollars? If you believe CNET, the answer is “sadly, no.” The 52-inch KDL-52XBR7 was all the rage upon its arrival, promising slick visuals and a dejudder processor that would wow, stun and awe. Unfortunately, it seems the set hasn’t [...]
After winning purchasing spectrum in the 700MHz FCC auction, we were all a little disappointed to hear that we’d have to wait until the year 2010 for high-speed LTE networks to launch (widescale deployments coming later) on both Verizon and AT&T. In a surprise, seemingly off-the-cuff statement made Tuesday at Cisco’s C-Scape conference, Verizon’s unfortunately [...]
It usually takes a lot to get us stoked on a digiframe — after all, there are so many, and they all pretty much do the exact same thing. That said, the new ImpactV from eStarling doesn’t seem so shabby. Of course, we’ve seen some of these features on prior models (such as an 8-inch [...]
File this one in the category of “Oh, no they didn’t!” Sadly, it seems they really have. DirecTV has sent out an email stating the following: “DirecTV has suspended the development of the HDPC-20 tuner project that was designed to integrate DirecTV service into Windows Media Center after assessing the impact of missing the August [...]
So, you and hundreds of thousands of others picked up your Blu-ray copy of The Dark Knight today, huh? We know you haven’t had time to fiddle with the BD-Live extras just yet, but one Joe Lynch from G4 TV has. One of the most intriguing aspects of the flick’s interactive feature set is the [...]
