    Hope you didn't download The Hurt Locker with BitTorrent because it looks like the film's producers may be coming after you. They're looking at a multi-million dollar copyright infringement lawsuit that would target "tens of thousands" of users. Let's discuss this for a moment.

    Motorola outs a 3D set-top box built for the future

    Posted on April 12, 2010 | No Comments
    3D TV is still really new. So new that there are some major hurdles to be crossed but this new set-top box from Motorola takes care of one of them. It brings the 3D content control into the set-top box rather than simply passing along the 3D signal to the TV. The advantage here is that all the menus and on-screen information will be displayed in a 3D-friendly format. That's not the case right now.

    Palm demos web-based Ares SDK for webOS

    Filed under: , ,

    Currently, mobile entrepreneurs wishing to hawk their wares on the Pre (or Pixi, or unnamed webOS device of the future) use a software development kit from Palm called Mojo, a stack of Java-based tools that must be installed, studied, understood, loved, and respected before serious development can get underway. Palm sees that as a barrier of entry for web-oriented developers who want to make the leap to mobile apps, though, which is why they've crafted a new SDK called Ares that's based entirely on web technologies -- in fact, there's no install at all, apparently. Much of the interface is said to be drag-and-drop with enough JavaScript exposed to make your local .com designer feel right at home, potentially opening the app landscape to a whole new set of folks -- and considering that the App Catalog is tens of thousands of goodies behind the App Store and Android Market, they can use every loyal dev they get.

    Palm demos web-based Ares SDK for webOS originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:50:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

    Interview: A conversation with Larry Halff about the relaunch of Ma.gnolia

    Many of you may remember Ma.gnolia—the nifty social bookmarking tool that unfortunately imploded at the beginning of this year. Founded by Larry Halff almost 4 years ago, the site had a different aesthetic and attitude toward sharing information. It was one of the more community-minded tools I remember from that era, offering features like the [...]

    I would say that it’s a good sign for the worldwide economy that Sharp is increasing its LCD panel production by tens of thousands of screens per month. Sharp is after all one of the largest provider of OEM LCD screens which get sold not only under the Sharp brand but many others too. The [...]

    We came away with two things after watching this video spot from Alex Lindsay, MacBreak Weekly regular, Pixel Corps supremo and Star Wars SFX alumni. One is that Alex is crazy. The second is that he is dead right. What you see in the screengrab is the iPhone 3GS mounted on a shoulder rig. The setup [...]
