Google Maps for Android adds bike routes, sharing, dedicated navigation icon
Posted on May 11, 2010 | No CommentsIf you're running an Android phone and you're lucky enough to be using 1.6 or above (our deepest apologies, CLIQ owners), we might recommend you pop open the Market and score the latest version of Google Maps that just launched today. What's new? It adds support for bicycle routing (something they've had on the desktop for a while now) and sharing of destinations via the usual array of mediums like email, Facebook, Twitter, and so on, but the most significant change might also be the smallest: the addition of a dedicated icon for Google Maps Navigation. The product is still in beta, but this seems like an early sign that it's starting to come of age -- and on a more practical level, this obviously makes it quite a bit easier to launch right into a route when you saddle up in the car. Anywho, Motorola, about that CLIQ update?

BlackBerry 9670 caught trying to justify its existence on video
Posted on May 10, 2010 | No CommentsLook, we'll admit that we may have gone a little hard on the BlackBerry 9670 the first time we saw it -- but seriously, could you blame us? Thanks to the 8200 series, RIM's developed a reputation for making gargantuan clamshells, and the 9670 certainly doesn't seem to buck that trend -- in fact, it's very likely even wider on account of its full QWERTY keyboard, and you can tell from this new video that it doesn't make any apologies about its thick waistline, either. That being said, the phone seems to look just a smidge sexier now than it did before, though it's still not necessarily clear why you'd pick it over a 9650 or 9700 when it's essentially the same size folded. Guess we'll know when -- or if, rather -- RIM launches this thing. Follow the break for video.

CGM Night: CrunchGear visits Otaku party in Tokyo (photo report)
Posted on February 15, 2010 | No Comments
Being based in Tokyo has its advantages, and one of them is being close to Akihabara, the world's paradise for all things geek: Video games, anime, manga, Cosplay, figures, maid cafes etc. etc. And over the weekend, I was fortunate to be invited by one of Japan's most famous otaku (and Japan) culture bloggers, an Englishman called Danny Choo, to "CGM Night".

Super-thin, bendable LCDs are coming
Posted on February 2, 2010 | No Comments
We have seen curved plasmas, OLED TVs and LCDs in the past, both as prototypes and actual products. And while many people believe OLED screens and not LCDs or plasmas are the future, a Japanese consortium of 13 companies and institutions is working hard on developing super-thin, flexible LCDs. The companies claim they now have found a way to produce these LCDs by using plastic film instead of glass substrates.

Hitachi’s develops brain signal-powered remote control
Posted on January 4, 2010 | No Comments
We all knew this would come one day, especially since the basic technology has been around for some time, and now we have it: A brain activity-powered remote control that can be used without you having to lift a finger. The Hitachi device is unfortunately a prototype, but at least they're planning to commercialize it within three to four years.
The technology is being developed not for lazy couch potatoes but for something that actually makes a lot of sense: Hitachi says they would like to see physically handicapped people to use the remote control in the future (think about how many times a day you push buttons on your remote when watching TV).

It’ll linger for a week: Japanese security system sprays stinky smell on thieves
Posted on December 1, 2009 | No Comments
Does anyone remember the Japanese anti-burglar mat for stores and restaurants I blogged a few months ago? Well, there's another security system from Japan and it clearly raises the bar: It's a new mechanism, dubbed Capture, for these places and it sprays stinky agent on thieves who won't be able to get rid of the stench for a week.

Two years later, Barnes and Noble, IREX, and Sony announced [...] -

Dear Hollywood: Wanna stop BitTorrent piracy of your TV shows? Make them available overseas in a timely manner!
Posted on October 5, 2009 | No CommentsWhat's wrong with sites like Hulu? Well nothing, per se, except for the fact that they can't be used anywhere outside of the Unites States. As if other countries don't want to watch... um, really great shows like “Extreme Makeover” and “The [American] Office”! Perhaps that's why, then, BitTorrent site EZTV has seen traffic double, mainly from non-American IPs, in the past year? For whatever reason, people want to watch these shows, but since there's no legal outlet to do so, well, it's not exactly hard to configure uTorrent or Transmission, now is it?

The real hands-on with the Pentax K-7
Posted on September 1, 2009 | No Comments
So my “hands-on” post was really more of a “quick look” or a “look at some sample images” post than a hands-on you've grown accustomed to from CG, so I thought it wise to have a real hands-on of the Pentax K-7. I'm a Pentax user and I let the fanboy in me get the best of me. Apologies. Now here's the real hands-on, but before we jump into that, here is the full spec sheet of the K-7 that was used over the weekend at the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix.

Gadget translates baby’s cries into various moods
Posted on July 4, 2009 | No Comments
Taking a page from the Baby Translator invented by Homer Simpson's half-brother Herb Powell, the $100 "Why Cry Baby Analyzer" attempts to help parents figure out what their wailing bundle of joy is so upset about. While not as accurate as the Baby Translator from the Simpsons ("I have soiled myself... how embarrassing") the WCBA can apparently detect the following dispositions: hungry, bored, annoyed, sleepy, and stressed.
