Sharp goes its own way, doesn’t lose its mind promoting 3D TV (like everyone else has)
Posted on January 9, 2010 | No CommentsLet's have a round of applause for Sharp, which could be the only TV manufacturer here that isn't freaking out over 3D. (Not that it, too, doesn't have 3D TVs on its roster, but it doesn't treat them as the be-all, end-all.) Instead, Sharp made the brave decision to try something different, which, you'll recall, adds yellow to the usual threesome of red, green, and blue pixels.

Alternative solar power: Weird roof orbs provide lighting (video)
Posted on January 1, 2010 | No CommentsNani Kore ("What's This?") is the name of a Japanese TV show that digs up bizarre things and phenomena observed around the world and explains how they work. In the latest show, they presented a house in central Tokyo that proves solar power can be used in a residential setting without those expensive solar panels and cells. Just take a set of orbs that look like giant light bulbs, install them on your roof and watch them reflecting the light of the sun into your house. This obviously just works during the day, but if you have buildings around your house that block the sunlight, the orbs might help to light up dark rooms and save electricity costs. And they look kind of cool, too.

Five stars: Wrestling Observer Newsletter/Figure 4 Weekly now has an iPhone App
Posted on November 12, 2009 | No CommentsIt's no secret that I'm a big fan of mixed martial arts, also “known” as UFC. It's less well-known that, back in my youth, I was a very big pro wrestling fan. (Pro wrestling today is largely unwatchable.) When I was 15 I subscribed to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, written by the hardest-working journalist in America, Dave Meltzer (the man doesn't sleep), a weekly news and analysis publication that detailed, to an incredible degree, the goings-on of the two businesses, pro wrestling and MMA. A little more than a year ago the newsletter entered the online age (while merging with another, similar publication in Figure 4 Weekly, written by Bryan Alvarez), with newsletters being made available online (in addition to the dead trees version). Today the publication enters the next exciting age, the iPhone age. That's right: there's now a Wrestling Observer Newsletter/Figure 4 Weekly iPhone App~!

Dear Hollywood: Wanna stop BitTorrent piracy of your TV shows? Make them available overseas in a timely manner!
Posted on October 5, 2009 | No CommentsWhat's wrong with sites like Hulu? Well nothing, per se, except for the fact that they can't be used anywhere outside of the Unites States. As if other countries don't want to watch... um, really great shows like “Extreme Makeover” and “The [American] Office”! Perhaps that's why, then, BitTorrent site EZTV has seen traffic double, mainly from non-American IPs, in the past year? For whatever reason, people want to watch these shows, but since there's no legal outlet to do so, well, it's not exactly hard to configure uTorrent or Transmission, now is it?

Video: ‘To Catch a Pirate’ is like ‘To Catch a Predator,’ only with pirates
Posted on August 13, 2009 | No CommentsAnother day, another fun video. Today's is “To Catch a Pirate,” a clever parody of the hit American TV show that's “devoted to the subject of identifying and detaining those who contact people they believe to be below the age of consent over the Internet for sexual liaisons.” Only this time, we're dealing with filthy pirates. Software pirates, to be exact. Makes sense: the BSA is behind the video.

Hulu Desktop app puts a remote control friendly face on for Macs & PCs
Posted on May 28, 2009 | No CommentsApparently devoting developers to something other than the great boxee arms race of 2009, Hulu today took the wraps off of its Hulu Labs project, with several "experimental projects" giving a different spin to the TV show & movie-streaming site. None of them are bigger than the Hulu Desktop app, a "lean back" interface (what, they heard ten-foot was already taken?) that unleashes Hulu's Flash video from the browser and also supports Mac & Microsoft compatible six button remotes -- which makes their unwillingness/inability to continue boxee access or offer an official Media Center plugin even more confusing. Even those without HTPC's to try that out on, there is a Video Panel Designer offering customized embeddable widgets for website owners, a Recommendations section based on what you've already watched and a new Time-Based Browsing option to order programs by when they originally aired. Give them a try and let us know if this makes you forget about all the other ways that were already available (boxee, PlayOn, Secondrun.tv, Understudy, ReQuest, XBMC & others) to get Hulu on your HDTV.
