Hey, Sirius XM: Can you get your act together and fix your online stream? That would be neat.
Posted on June 21, 2010 | No CommentsHere's a “shout out” to the fine people at Sirius XM. You pay for a service with the expectation that it, you know, occasionally works as advertised, right? Not Sirius XM, the company that's fine with people overworking for years so long as they don't ask for a marginal(in the grand scheme of Howard Stern and Oprah and MLB contracts) raise! How many times per week does the online stream die? I'm thinking at least three to five times.

Posted on May 11, 2010 | No Comments
The Sony NEX-3 and NEX-5 leaked-out late last night and surprised the Internet with their down-right sweet styling. Well, Sony has gone and made the pair official, announcing the NEX-5 will retail for $650 with the NEX-3 fetching $550.

Posted on March 23, 2010 | No CommentsThese stand-alone media streamers... Why wouldn't you buy a PS3 or Xbox 360, then have a video game system in addition to a cheap-ish way to stream all those scene releases of "The Pacific" you downloaded? (That, or put together a full PC if you're feeling adventurous.) Be that as it may, let's just quickly highlight another option that's out there, the Nationite HDVP-2. Not the snappiest name in the world, no.

Like other 5000 series cards, it works with Eyefinity, meaning that you can spread the image across several screens, as this image swiped from Tom's Hardware shows.

Rumor: iPhone Boot Camp listserv confirms January 27th event?
Posted on January 15, 2010 | No Comments
This just came in through the tip line purporting to know for certain that the iSlate event will happen at the Yerba Buena Center in San Fran on January 27th, just as others have reported. The agenda should include a new SDK (probably iPhone/iSlate 4.0) and that most iPhone apps presumably run on the iSlate.
n addition to the introduction of the iTablet hardware recent rumors have said that a new software development kit for iPhone OS 4.0 could be revealed at the presentation.Tthe new kit may includes a "simulator" that allows developers to adapt their iPhone applications for different screen sizes and resolutions i.e. the iTablet, or whatever it is called:-)

Posted on December 18, 2009 | No Comments

Dash Cam does up to 48 hours of 720×480 recording
Posted on October 2, 2009 | No Comments
I bet that on your daily commute to work you've often thought to yourself, "Man, this is EXCITING! I wish other people could see what I see! Cars! Billboards! More cars! A truck!"

LG’s LH55 series of 1080p, 240Hz LCDs now shipping
Posted on May 27, 2009 | No Comments
Remember all those LCDs LG flooded us with at CES earlier this year? Another set of them is shipping, the LH55 models in sizes ranging from 37- to 55-inches. These don't have any of the fancy internet connectivity or wireless HDMI tricks offered by some of the company's more flash sets, but all offer 1080p resolutions at TruMotion 240Hz refresh rates, 80,000:1 contrast ratios, and other niceties like auto-calibration and Clear Voice II, which pledges to ensure dialogue doesn't get washed out by heavyhanded soundtracks. They're all Energy Star 3.0 certified, too, so you'll feel a little more green while watching that Discovery Earth Blu-ray on a television that's almost five feet on the diagonal. MSRPs range from $1,399 up to $3,899, so get bargain hunting.LG's LH55 series of 1080p, 240Hz LCDs now shipping originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 27 May 2009 06:36:00 EST.
