AIR for Android app turns Nexus One into slot car controller (video)
Posted on June 22, 2010 | No Comments
AIR for Android, a Phidgets motor control, a slot car set, and a custom built LEGO housing for good measure -- if this project isn't meant for Engadget, we don't know what is! The premise is pretty straightforward: Grant Skinner uses his Nexus One to send accelerometer data to a desktop PC, which then sends it to a motor controller. In turn, the controller tells the cars how fast to go. Tilt forward a little bit, and the car accelerates a little bit. Lean forward a lot, and it picks up speed. Sure beats those cheesy plastic triggers we used as kids! For the interface (which is an SWF that's sent to the handset from the host PC) our man designed a gas pedal with a series of lights that tells you how fast you're going. Let's just say we wouldn't mind a setup like this for the Engadget game room. Video after the break.Continue reading AIR for Android app turns Nexus One into slot car controller (video)

Gleeks Rejoice! Smule Packs Fox’s Glee Into A Fantastic iPhone App
Posted on April 15, 2010 | No CommentsIf you own a TV, you’ve probably heard of Glee. It’s Fox’s new big thing, starring a surprisingly pretty lot of “geeks” who not only happen to be able to belt out just about any pop tune you throw at them, but can find ways to squeeze those songs into situations where no one would [...] -
Don’t Call Tech Support. Try Orkin Instead!
Posted on March 17, 2010 | No CommentsSomeone passed this post along to us, and since our Chinese is limited here in CrunchGear-land, I’m afraid we can’t vouch for it. The video contained may, in truth, provide the recipe for a lovely London broil for all we know, so take it with several healthy grains of salt. But at least the basic [...] -

iPhone in iPhone app is useless, but mesmerizing
Posted on December 23, 2009 | No Comments
Here's the premise: you take a good old fashioned augmented reality setup, the likes of which we've seen all over the land, and attach a three-dimensional, rotatable iPhone to it. Not impressed yet, are you? Neither were we, but there's some secret sauce to this one: you can actually launch apps on the simulated iPhone. That extra layer of interactivity makes the video after the break a lot more fascinating than it has any right to be, though it's worth pointing out that we don't think the apps are actually usable -- they just give the illusion of launching. Anyhow, don't wait around while all the cool kids are watching it, go have a gander yourself.Continue reading iPhone in iPhone app is useless, but mesmerizing

Cash Cab cruises onto the iPhone
Posted on December 16, 2009 | No CommentsNothing kills the productivity amongst myself and my roommates like accidentally stumbling across an episode of the Discovery Channel’s Cash Cab. If you’re unfamiliar with the show, the premise is pretty simple: a snarky bald dude drives around New York in a cab, surprising passengers with the opportunity to win some cash by answering trivia [...] -
Science sez Wi-Fi is totally safe, not likely to cause people illness
Posted on December 3, 2009 | No CommentsThere's been a few stories over the years about people being overly sensitive to Wi-Fi. It makes them sick and whatnot. There's usually one reaction to such stories: bologna. (That's not my reaction, mind you. If you're sick, you're sick. Who am I to call you a liar?) Well now! A series of studies, carried out by the UK Department of Health, say “there is no consistent evidence to date that exposure to radio waves from wireless networks adversely affects the health of the general population and that there is no reason why schools and others should not use Wi-Fi equipment.”

Verizon takes another swing at AT&T, puts iPhone on the Island of Misfit Toys
Posted on November 8, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, ATT, Verizon Wireless
AT&T might be suing Verizon for misrepresenting its network in ads, but that doesn't seem to have dissuaded Big Red from using that same map image in this new spot, which casts the iPhone away to the Island of Misfit Toys. Hard to argue with the premise, but here's the real question: why not just sack up use a real iPhone, instead of this KIRF piece? Check the ad after the break.

Video: Wherein CBS makes a fool of itself by showing it has no idea what it’s talking about re: movie piracy
Posted on November 3, 2009 | No CommentsBias much, CBS? The network ran a report on 60 Minutes the other day (which shows how far off our radar the show is, seeing as though we just found out about it) that, according to TechDirt's fantastic report, is basically a piece of MPAA propaganda. It makes all sorts of ridiculous claims that can easily be disproven by, you know, spending two minutes looking this stuff up.

And while you’re at it, why not turn that old cassette tape into clothing? I mean, really.

Someone call LATFH. This is “Sonic Fabric,” and it's made out of old cassette tape, um, tape. It's 100 percent ridiculous, yes.
