Brown University demonstrates Drawing on Air system
2007-11-09 02:57:00 Filed under: Misc. Gadgets It's been a tick since we've heard any news on the 3D drawing front, but a number of computer scientists from Brown University are putting the art back in the proverbial foreground with its Drawing on Air installation. Put simply, users can slip on a virtual reality mask, grab a stylus and tracking device, and go to town. The system uses "drawing guidelines, force feedback, and two-handed interaction" to assist artists in drawing more precisely, and once movements are made, the patterns are transferred to a computer for use in 3D modeling and design programs. Unfortunately, such a system can't currently be priced at points which John and / or Jane Doe would be happy with, but the researchers did state that commercialization wasn't "too far away" and that prices should decrease from "thousands of dollars to hundreds of dollars in the next few years."

2007-11-09 02:08:00 If you pick up the much touted Call of Duty 4, you might want to open it as soon as you buy it.

Workbench
2007-11-09 02:00:00 It's hard to have a workbench, harder if you're in NYC with a small apartment, maybe not so hard if you don't mind living a slightly different way (no TV, use Digikey boxes for tables)...

In the battle of 1TB drives, nobody wins
2007-11-08 09:59:00 Filed under: Storage With the holidays fast approaching and both Leopard's Time Machine and Windows Home Server loosed upon your desktop, we know what you're asking the Santa man for: a new 7200rpm 1TB hard drive. The question is, which one to purchase: Hitachi, Seagate, or Western Digital. Well, according to a review over at Hot Hardware, it doesn't matter, much. Those looking for the best price can find the WD Caviar GP on-line for about $0.27 per GB compared to the Hitachi's $0.31 per GB price. Seagate's Barracuda 7200.11 tops the list at $0.33 per GB. That's a big jump in heat, noise, and price when compared to the $0.19 per GB required for a 7200rpm 500GB drive. Bottom line: if mass capacity is your priority and available slots are limited, then a 1TB disk will do you fine.

Radiohead Moans Its Way Onto USB
2007-11-08 09:57:00 Radiohead stuck two fingers up to the record industry recently with its 'pay-what-you-like' album launch, and now EMI wants a slice of digital Radiohead by releasing a special USB stick containing all of the band?s back catalogue. I know there have been others launching albums on USB, but this one will be crammed with tunes recorded at a top notch 320Kbps. The albums on the stick are, as follows: Pablo Honey (1993), The Bends (1995), OK Computer (1997), Kid A (2000), Amnesiac (2001), I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings (2001) and Hail To The Thief (2003). The blurb goes: Strictly limited edition 4Gb USB stick, shaped in Radiohead's iconic "bear" image and housed in a bespoke deluxe box. Contains all seven Parlophone albums (including one live album) available as CD quality WAV audio files. Also contains digital artwork for each album. Don?t expect to be allowed to name your own price on this one though. 80 to the faithful.-Martin Lynch [Radiohead] Lynch radiohead internet ... More About: Internet , Music , Usb , Radiohead , Adio
Yung Fu Technology intros handle-equipped PMP
2007-11-08 09:38:00 Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video While you'd be hard pressed to distinguish many of the PMPs coming out of China these days from one another, the same cannot be said for Yung Fu Technology 's latest piece of gear, which goes all Speak & Spell on us with a integrated handle to help ease its 2-pound weight load. Contributing to that weight is the unit's sizable 7-inch screen, as well as its integrated DVB-T mobile TV tuner and a built-in speaker although, curiously, there's no indication as to what storage options you can expect. Also, as with most of these, there's no word on pricing or availability, but those looking to pick them up by the truckload (and slap their name on 'em, perhaps) can contact the manufacturer for more information.[Via PMP Today] Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsOffice Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!

DIY IR widget
2007-11-08 09:00:00 Handy dandy DIY IR widget - The IR Widget captures the infrared signals used by remote controls. It operates in a way that makes it compatible with modern multitasking operating systems. It is able to determine the carrier frequency and demodulate the carrier in the digital or analog domain. The captured information can be used to view, recognize or reproduce the signal. The hardware is designed to be as simple and low cost as possible. A PIC12F629 was used for development, but almost any PIC that uses the 12 or 14 bit instruction set could be used. There are also 74HC based circuits for Luddites who refuse to use microcontrollers.DIY IR widget - Link. Related: HOW TO - Make a Nikon D70 IR remote control - Link.

CE-Oh no he didn?t! Part XLIX: Eisner tells striking writers to blame Steve
2007-11-07 21:29:00 Filed under: Home Entertainment, Portable VideoWell, it looks like Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner had a fair bit to say about the current Writer's Guild of America strike in a recent interview, with him even going so far as to recommend that the writers point their aim at a familiar foe. According to CNET's The Social, in addition to calling the strike "stupid," Eisner said that the studios "make deals with Steve Jobs, who takes them to the cleaners," adding that, "They make all these kinds of things, and who's making money? Apple! They should get a piece of Apple." Eisner then went on to say that, "If I was a union, I'd be striking up wherever he is."[Photo courtesy of TVNewser] Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsOffice Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!

Buffalo intros pair of LinkTheater HD media streamers
2007-11-07 20:55:00 Filed under: HDTV, Home Entertainment No interest in a shiny new NAS from Buffalo ? No worries, as the firm is hoping to play on your AV emotions too with a new duo of HD media streamers. Part of the tight-knit LinkThea ter family, the LT-H90LAN and LT-H90WN each feature USB 2.0 connectivity, an Ethernet jack, analog / digital audio outputs and HDMI / composite connectors. Furthermore, the pair plays nice with a slew of files including AAC, MPEG2/3, WMA, JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF, VOB, WMV, ASF, AVI and H.264, but unfortunately, DivX / XviD weren't invited to the party. Nevertheless, those who still think this would fit the bill can snap up the wired-only LT-H90LAN for ¥21,000 ($184) or the 802.11a/b/g/n-enabled LT-H90WN for ¥31,700 ($277) later this month.[Via AkihabaraNews] Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsOffice Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!

Sony Ericsson MD300 WWAN USB modem
2007-11-07 15:48:00 If there is a WWAN network near you, this thing can connect to it, I’m not kidding. It has support for HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE, and GPRS, I mean, seriously, that’s a lot of different types of networks. It has some software that comes built that I assume installs similar to that of software on a flash drive, so pretty much, you plug it in and you are off and running. The best part, its one of the first USB WWAN modems I have seen that isn’t god awful ugly. Ahh, the best part of this job, informing you, the reader, that I have no clue when or for how much this thing will be on sale for. I don’t really even know where, I do have some details for you though, it won’t be available until next year, that’s all I’ve got.

Samsung Z240 Vittorio & Lucchino, yet another fashion phone from Samsu
2007-11-07 15:41:00 Sure, this phone looks pretty good, and I am sure for those in the know, the Vittorio and Lucchino name probably means something to you. But is this rather generic clamshell worth flying all the way to Spain for? Probably not, but like I said, it does look good, better than what I imagine it standard, run of the mill sibling looks like. If you want one though, and you live in, around, or otherwise near Spain, you can start buying them on December the first. Orange Spain is selling them, with contract, for 59 Euro. That’s not too much for a phone provided it has everything you need.

Of course that price is with a two-year contract. On to better news, they have decided to give both the Slide and the new LX a “Consumer E-Mail Upgrade” basically it makes it easier to set up and use your public email accounts from companies such as Yahoo! and AOL. Specifically for those two companies, they also support their PUSH email systems. You’ll also be able to setup other POP and IMAP accounts as you wish, and as always, access to your T-Mail account will be built in too. The new mail client will work a lot like MySpace on the Sidekick with tabs across the top for each account. The upgrade will come in OTA and will start rolling out today, with everyone getting it by November.
