By Chris histrion Barr

Man, it’s a beatific abstract that Microsoft managed to snag that inbuilt care with Netflix backwards in August of tangency year. Otherwise PS3 and Wii owners capableness effect the aforementioned inbound to the property giant’s fast moving library. What’s that, the PS3 already has it, and it’s foregather been declared for the Wii? Never nous then.

That’s correct folks, despite some care Microsoft snagged with Netflix, Nintendo has foregather declared that they module also center the noesis to course Netflix movies to the Wii. As with the PS3, a primary ammo module be required in meet to ingest this functionality, directive me to again conceptualise that Microsoft’s “exclusive” care technically exclusive prevented the another companies from book the code direct onto their consoles.

The discs module begin instrumentation discover sometime this Spring, but you crapper sign up for them now. Aside from the extreme $8.99 oceanic moving organisation from Netflix you module not effect to clear some added costs. Again the trade-off is having to ingest a ammo every instance or justice for an Xbox Live subscription, personally I don’t nous good the ammo in my PS3.

There is digit diminutive drawback to using the assist on the Wii, as anti to the another digit consoles. Since Nintendo’s scheme doesn’t creation in HD, you module apparently be limited to watching movies in SD.

TV-B-Gone Just Got A Lot Smaller

utvbg

By Chris Scott Barr

I’m sure that everyone remembers the TV-B-Gone. It’s the little device that can turn almost any television on and off at the push of a button. While it was just a fun little toy, I think that it was made infamous by a certain other tech blog’s shenanigans at last year’s CES. Well the original was a bit bulky and conspicuous, so one enterprising hacker decided to shrink it down. The result is a device with the exact same capabilities that’s smaller than your thumb.

While I don’t think I’d ever walk around a giant electronics show shutting off random TVs at will, this does give me some ideas. With a device that small, you could likely setup some sort of automatic timer, so that it goes off in 10-second intervals or so. Now disguise it in such a way that it can be carried around with only the LED showing. Sure, your battery probably wouldn’t last too terribly long, but it would make those trips to Best Buy far more entertaining.

By Andrew Liszewski

Feeling a bit cramped when it comes to screen real estate? The new Matrox M9148 LP PCIe x16 graphics card comes with 4 DisplayPort connections that each support a resolution of up to 2560×1600. So with a simple 2×2 monitor configuration that should give you a combined screen resolution of 5120×3200. Not too shabby. The card also comes with 1GB of memory, a low-profile form factor, a fanless design (translation: giant heatsink) and full support for Vista’s Aero eye candy. While no pricing info has been announced, the M9148 LP PCIe x16 should be available sometime in Q3 of this year.

Google Purchases 1 Million Numbers For Voice Service

google-voice

By Chris Scott Barr

I’m a huge fan of Google Voice, which was previously known as GrandCentral. I was an early adopter to the service, so I’m one of the lucky few that actually managed to snag a number. If you’re not familiar, Google Voice gives you a number that conveniently forwards to any phones you would like. It includes features like sending/receiving text messages, transcribing voicemails and more. The only downside to the service is that they haven’t given out new numbers in a very long time.

While Google hasn’t yet announced their plans to start handing out, we do have news that the search giant has secured 1 million new numbers from Level 3 (which is whom they’ve previously purchased numbers from). There’s little doubt that Google will soon start sending out invitations. It’s (currently) a free service, so if you’re interested, I’d head over to their site and get registered.

Giant keyboard art in Shenzhen metro station offers tech-friendly seating

If you’re at the Shenzhen Metro station any time soon, you’ll unlikely happen across the beautiful, beautiful sight above. The station — which is in Shenzhen just north of Hong Kong — has installed some keyboard art that really speaks to the typist in our souls — we even type in our dreams occasionally. The keys function as seats to relax in while you wait for your train, though why they chose the keys they chose (Enter, M, <, L, P and ;) is anybody’s guess.

LG GD900 Crystal comes to UK via Carphone Warehouse

LG GD900 Crystal, one of 2009’s most interesting phones, will be released in the UK via The Carphone Warehouse.

The giant retailer says the GD900 is expected to hit the shelves in mid-May, but, of course, the release date might be pushed back.
 
No word yet on the price of LG GD900 Crystal. However, given its specs and its unique transparent keypad, I guess the handset will not be on the affordable side.

First showcased by LG during MWC 2009, the GD900 comes with a WVGA touchscreen display, S-Class Touch UI, an 8MP autofocus camera, Wi-Fi,  HSDPA connectivity, TV out and Dolby Mobile audio technology.

On top of the above-mentioned stuff, both the display and the transparent sliding keypad of GD900 feature multi-touch input and handwriting recognition.

A video preview with the LG GD900 can be found here.

D-Link finally ships the DXN-221 Coax Ethernet adapter

It’s taken almost a year, but D-Link is finally shipping its DXN-221 Coax Ethernet network adapter. The MoCA-certified box does exactly what it says — it turns your existing coax cabling into a giant Ethernet network without interfering with TV signals, allowing you to get hardwired network speeds anywhere in your house without having to run Cat6. A pair will set you back $239 at retail, but it looks like D-Link is selling them direct for $156.

Roboard puts an x86 PC in your little cyberguy’s backpack

Most modern hobbyist robots (those that aren’t giant beetles) are just collections of servos plumbed together, shipping with controllers accessed cloaked in proprietary programming environments. They make it easy to get up to speed, but for full control in a standardized dev environment like Visual Studio you want something like the £175.00 ($255) Roboard RB-100. It’s built around a Vortex86DX system on a chip, capable of running various flavors of Windows (including XP and CE) or x86 Linux distros — probably even OSX or Android — and offering connections for 24 servos, USB, audio, a MicroSD reader, and even a Mini PCI slot. A few builders at the Robosavvy forums have been working with early boards for a few weeks now and one, ATebay, has found they mount easily to various bots, including his creation above that looks something like an armor-less Wolf Clan Mad Cat ready to conquer the Inner Sphere. Detail pic of the board and obligatory robot dancing video after the break.
