    Spider-Man reboot to be shot in 3D (!!!)

    Posted on February 10, 2010 | No Comments
    No matter how you feel about the Spider-Man franchise going a new direction without Toby Maguire, you have to admit that a 3D Spider-Man movie has at least potential to be awesome. If soaring through the word of Avatar made you sick, just think what web-slinging through the streets of NYC will feel like. Yeah, you’re [...]

  • Google Goggles gets video demo on Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

    Google Goggles gets video demo on Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

    Posted on December 29, 2009 | No Comments
    There's little sense in resisting the obvious: Google is slowly but surely taking over your life, but rather than get indignant and discombobulated, we'd suggest letting go and appreciating how much easier things are with the folks in Mountain View squarely in control. Take Google Goggles, for instance, which aims to convert cameraphone images into useful search results on its own Android platform. Up until now, we've been shown stock demos and videos of it running on conventional handsets, but seeing the Goggles hard at work on Sony Ericsson's not-yet-released Xperia X10 is another thing entirely. Hop on past the break for the frames you're craving, but don't bank on this making the wait for said phone any simpler to stomach.

  • TerreStar Genus satphone gets beamed into an FCC lab

    TerreStar Genus satphone gets beamed into an FCC lab

    Posted on December 2, 2009 | No Comments
    That projected Q1 2010 availability window for AT&T's first dual-mode satphone (and first satphone, period, for that matter) is looking pretty dang obtainable now that Elektrobit -- the device's manufacturer -- has secured FCC approval. As you can tell from the laboratory mugshot here, TerreStar's Genus is a pretty unassuming-looking Windows Mobile smartphone, which is pretty amazing when you consider that it'll more or less guarantee you coverage anywhere in the most ridiculously remote regions of North America and surrounding waters. Test documentation confirms that it'll be ready with US HSPA out of the gate, so if you can hold out for a month or two and stomach some likely hardcore plans and per-minute / per-megabyte charges, get ready to impress your co-pilot in the midst of that next offshore race.

  • Extraordinary rendition is still happening to Speak&Spells right now, write your Congressman

    Extraordinary rendition is still happening to Speak&Spells right now, write your Congressman

    Posted on September 22, 2009 | No Comments
    What you are about to see will shock you. Our allies overseas are being given broken Speak&Spells for full interrogation and their techniques are as far from the Geneva Convention laws as you can imagine. After stripping out most of the lower part of the device, these interrogators are forcing the Speak&Spells to perform unnatural acts, some that turn the stomach.
    Touching the word "Speak" turns the unit on. "Spell" triggers a random letter. "&" triggers a random glitch sound. The touch pads to the right trigger a really crazy hold/distortion effect. This is one of the most interesting effects I've found in a Speak&Spell in years. The strip below changes the pitch. This doesn't actually utilize a transistor. I simply wired the pad to the pitch base on the circuit.

  • Sony may get exclusive Dreamcast titles

    Sony may get exclusive Dreamcast titles

    Posted on September 22, 2009 | No Comments
    The year was 2002. Two friends and I had just finished moving into a swanky three-bedroom affair a block away from Lake Calhoun in the trendy Uptown area of Minneapolis. Upon waking up after a blowout house warming party with what seemed like 500 of our closest friends, I found my SNES, Genesis, and Dreamcast covered in beer and orange juice. I haven’t felt complete since that very moment. If you could punch someone’s soul, that’s how it feels. Now it appears that Sony’s “currently in discussions to bring a number of Dreamcast titles exclusively to PSN,” according to MCV.
