    Engadget Podcast #200, live (with video!) on the TWiT network right now!

    Posted on June 10, 2010 | No Comments
    Funny how years of irregular recording schedules and unscheduled delays have resulted in Engadget Podcast #200 and the iPhone 4 launch happening during the same week, but sometimes things just work out, don't they? Yes, there's plenty of news to talk about on our 200th show, and we've also got a little treat for the live crowd -- thanks to our friends at TWiT, we'll be broadcasting live video for the first time ever! We're super excited, to say the least.

    You can catch it live in the Ustream widget we'll be embedding below or head over to live.twit.tv for some higher-quality options -- we'll be starting at 7:30PM ET, but the chat below is open, so get cozy and we'll see you (and you'll see us) soon!

  • Terror in Taipei: Computex taxi drivers watch live TV, video chat while cruising

    Terror in Taipei: Computex taxi drivers watch live TV, video chat while cruising

    Posted on June 4, 2010 | No Comments
    It's a Christmas miracle that Joanna and I survived the week in Taipei. Not because our brains nearly exploded from the wealth of non-functioning Windows 7 tablets we saw, but because most of our cab drivers found themselves -- um, preoccupied -- while on the job. Over here, deep within a WiMAX hotspot, it's not uncommon to see cabbies video chatting and watching live local TV over-the-air while driving, and since you'd never believe me sans pics, I've got a handful of those as proof. Call it culture shock, or call it reckless -- we're calling it "America needs to get with the program and catch up to Asia."

    Would you be willing to pay an extra dollar or two per month for Xbox Live if you were able to watch live TV on it? That's what Microsoft and News Corp. execs are currently contemplating, with the two companies in talks over bringing a "young, male" channel to XBL. Now, this is all rumor and speculation, so no need to freak out if you're diametrically opposed to the idea.

    HP MediaSmart Windows Home Servers gets a TiVo companion app

    Posted on March 10, 2010 | No Comments
    HP keeps the fun rolling with its MediaSmart Windows Home Servers. It's called the HP MediaSmart Expander for TiVo, but don't let the name fool you, it doesn't directly increase your TiVo's storage. The app, however, still has some nice features and might be a worthy replacement for the TiVo Desktop program.

  • TSA easing off new airline rules, JetBlue brings back live TV

    TSA easing off new airline rules, JetBlue brings back live TV

    Posted on December 28, 2009 | No Comments
    It seems that the TSA is slowly backing down rules that were implemented after the foiled Christmas Day bombing. According to a Reuters report flight crews will now be a sort of Judge Dread enforcer. It will be up to the pilot and crew to determine if passengers need to stay seated or if they can have items in their lap. In-flight entertainment that shows the plane's relative location will also be under their jurisdiction. With this much power in their hands, you better be good for the sake of everyone else on board. A simple request for a glass of OJ might result in everyone having to put their heads down for the rest of the flight.
