    Behind the scenes with Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 team: ‘I think about this really as a first release’

    Posted on June 17, 2010 | No Comments
    CNET had a chance recently to get embedded deep within Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 engineering group, listening in on meetings with OEMs, arguments, celebrations, and all the other drama that comes with trying to ship a huge product that's new from the ground up in just a couple years' time. There aren't any blockbuster revelations in here -- no launch devices, ship dates, or prices -- but it's an interesting look at the project from Windows Phone engineering VP Terry Myerson's perspective, who acknowledges that it'll take a long time and several releases to catch up to the competition but still thinks they'll "actually have a lot of happy customers" with version one.

    On a related note, some existing Windows Marketplace devs have started getting notifications that Microsoft wants to send them loaner Windows Phone 7 devices -- yes, loaners, meaning they'll need to be returned to the mother ship at some point down the road. They're apparently set up for delivery in July, which should give publishers plenty of time to stock up the Marketplace in time for that planned holiday launch.

  • Will Billy Elliot be Peter Parker?

    Will Billy Elliot be Peter Parker?

    Posted on June 7, 2010 | No Comments
    Word on the street (read: Bleeding Cool) is that Jamie Bell, the actor who played Billie Elliot back in the day, has been selected by Sony to be Peter Parker in the new Spider-Man movie. Because that's what you want: the movie studio selecting the star of a film, not like the director or anything. It's not official so don't freak out yet, but this is still a fine place to channel your nerd-outrage.

    Review: Sony Vaio F Series Laptop

    Posted on May 20, 2010 | No Comments
    Short Version: Sony has always had a way with big laptops. Their F-Series, starting at $999 and going all the way up to about $1700 on a good day, is a monster but doesn’t feel huge and his heavy without being a boat anchor. With only about two hours of battery life you’re not going [...]

    CrunchDeals: $79 Samsung Blu-ray player with Netflix

    Posted on April 7, 2010 | No Comments
    Blu-ray won the format war. I was wrong and Ben was right. Oh well. At least Blu-ray players are finally dropping down in price. Today's Woot is a $79 Sammy model that's capable of streaming Netflix. Yeah, it's a refurb, but the price is right.

    That TiVo Series 3 on Woot isn’t a bad deal

    Posted on March 10, 2010 | No Comments
    The TiVo Premiere will be here real soon so it isn't much of a surprise to see a Series 3 on Woot. You might want to consider it, too. The Series 3 might be old, but it's still a great DVR. It even has a few advantages over the TiVoHD line and upcoming Series4.

    T-Mobile gives an HTC HD2 reminder, now with more fun!

    Posted on February 16, 2010 | No Comments
    Last week, T-Mobile teased us all with a little jab on Twitter about the HTC HD2 that it will be shipping soon. It was exciting and, to be frank, it made me a little antsy. As promised, T-Mobile announced new features for the HD2 at Mobile World Congress today and I've gotta say, it isn't all that thrilling.

    Isn't it grand that Blu-ray players keep dropping in price. Like this Samsung BD-P1590. First off, it's a refurb, but you still get a 3-month warrenty on a player that offers so much for the money. I would buy it.

    Rumor: Upcoming TiVo improvements include UI revamp and full HD support

    Posted on February 11, 2010 | No Comments
    <A tipster writes in with knowledge of some of the improvements TiVo may be making to its devices. The most important: a move to full HD menus, improved search, and the phasing out of Series 2 hardware. Because the company stopped making improvements to the current software as of the middle of last year, our source believes that aside from minor add-ons like Blockbuster support the old UI and OS will be replaced by a fully HD version, available at first on Series 3 hardware. He describes the move as something akin to Microsoft's redesign of the Xbox Dashboard - a surface refresh that plays better with larger, HD TVs. This could also include new methods for adding apps and content to existing boxes.

    Vizio announced the 1080p LED XVT line way back in June of '09 and they are just now starting to ship. These are the sets that come with that oh-so-awesome QWERTY remote to work the TV's collection of Internet apps. It's too bad that most owners will still need a cable or satellite box because this TV line is nearly an all-in-one solution for home entertainment.

    Spider-Man 4 gets a director: Marc Webb, from (500) Days of Summer

    Posted on January 20, 2010 | No Comments
    It's time for your Hollywood Minute! Late last night it emerged that Marc Webb, the director of (500) Days of Summer, which I think is a romantic comedy/drama judging by the trailer (I do have the rip sitting on one of my hard drives, lest you think we don't practice what we preach), will direct Spider-Man 4. The movie is currently scheduled to be released in the summer of 2012, and may well be filmed in 3D.
