Photoshop! On Android! Adobe's free Photoshop app for Android is surprisingly just as slick as the iPhone's though it's missing all of the special effects, focusing on basics... [Read More]
An AN0100 802.11n wireless adapter for Tivo is up on the FCC's site. While there's not much information on what the add-on will bring to the DVR, the promise of increased bandwidth... [Read More]
Famed internet pranksters Improv Everywhere just posted their latest "mission," a musical about the joys of lunch sung inside the atrium of Trump Tower. But this time, they got to record it using a boatload of NBC's high-tech gear.
Because the Today Show was doing a piece on pranks and wanted Ann Curry to be involved, they got involved and pulled out all the stops. They set up a huge tech control room in a storage area,... [Read More]
Still use component connections with your cable box? Listen up: the MPAA has again asked the FCC to let studios disable analog connections during certain on-demand movies. The FCC currently bans this, and here's why that's a good thing.
Lots of gear that's still kicking around only has an analog connection with a cable box: like TiVos and Slingboxes made before 2004. And what about... [Read More]
The Infractor is probably the least efficient manner in which you could read the morning paper, but it involves Fortress of Solitude-esque prisms and interactive rays of light. Quite simply, the paper has never looked better. Video demo:
SophosLabs didn't believe claims that Windows 7 and its User Account Controls were any more secure than previous versions of the OS, so they tested (albeit somewhat oddly) a clean install. Result? A reminder that you should always... [Read More]
Remember how Intel got smacked in the face with a $1.45 billion fine in the EU for shadily suffocating AMD into submission? Today, New York's Attorney General has... [Read More]
Bad news: Nvidia has confirmed Intel's stance on USB 3.0—no Intel chipsets will support the new standard until 2011. Short of Intel stating something different, USB 3.0 probably won't hit mass consumption until then. Is there any hope?
We've already seen an Intel motherboard hit the market ... [Read More]
In the clip you're about to see, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-il lock lips to the theme song of an erotic video game. That's sort of the punchline. Here's how we got there:
"My Boyfriend Is the President" is a risque video game (or eroge) out of Japan. Of course, the game has its own trailer and whiny theme song, seen here: ... [Read More]
We've seen slides and videos of Microsoft's Courier booklet in action, but nothing has quite explained how all of these things actually work. This document explains... [Read More]
It makes me nervous too. I'm not so keen on the idea of circuits enveloped in a silk substrate, which melts into your body leaving just nanometers-thick layers of electronics. But it's for the best, trust me on this one.
Until now, body-embedded circuitry was very limited. The electronics were hard, or had to be separated from the body. With this new technology, flexible... [Read More]
Hideouts can't be protected with a simple lock and key, those jobs require passwords or secret knocks. For the latter, you can go the extra mile and build a knock detector using a few basic pieces of equipment.
Steve Hoefer's secret knock detector is little more than a... [Read More]
Via's latest nano processor, the 3000, has gone official today for a release in early 2010 in speeds ranging between 1 to 2GHz. The promise? 20% lower power consumption than old Vias, and 1080P playback. Intel's gotten cocky enough in the space that we don't mind the competition one bit.
Man, if you thought it was tacky and gross when DirecTV used Chris Farley in their ads, you probably won't like the Heath Ledger, JFK or Jesus Christ spots. [LandlineTV]
Wireless N in cellphones, it's happening next year: Atheros's AR6003 802.11n/Bluetooth chip for cellphones is tiny, has serious range and uses less power than their current wireless G chip, which is in the Zune HD. It'll hit phones around the second half of next year. Such a long wait. [PC Mag]
For a stereo, the Wall of Sound isn't massive. But for an iPod dock, it's gargantuan.
Pitched as "the world's most powerful iPod speaker," the Wall of Sound is a $4,500, handcrafted iPod dock with a stocky 3x4-foot frame that weighs in at 225 pounds. As for the sound itself, the 125W system promises a frequency... [Read More]

Like Wii Music before it, Nintendo's upcoming Wii Xbox 360 takes something that once required skill to be good at and lowers the bar for entry. Finally, your mom can kick ass at Call of Duty!
