    July 22nd, 2008

    Let’s review the facts. On February 17, 2009, full-power broadcast television stations will cease analog broadcasts. If you do not have a cable or satellite subscription, or you do not have a TV with a digital (ATSC) tuner, then you’ll need to get one or add a converter box that will received the digital signals and translate them to analog for your existing television. You can apply to the federal government for up to two $40 discout coupons to cover part of the costs of a converter box.

    So far, so good. But the elderly make up a large ...

      Belkin Cuts the HDTV Wires

      July 21st, 2008

      One of my main themes from CES 2008 last January was how the HDTV manufacturers were looking to wireless connections to make it easier for consumers to install and connect their HDTVs to other home entertainment devices. Given the expense and hassle of running wires through walls and floors — or even through wire channels on walls and baseboards — a wireless HDTV sounds like a great idea. But what if you already have a traditional model that relies on wires?

      Belkin is a company that is well known for its cables and networking devices. It too has ...

      Are MIDs Still On Target for a Fall Release?

      July 21st, 2008

      LenovomidFlashback to January 2008. All the talk in the mobile computing space was about Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) that were coming this summer. Jump forward to April 2008 and we got word that Intel was pushing things back until fall. Meanwhile, Apple has released the 3G iPhone, RIM is prepping to unleash the Storm, Nokia just keeps pressing onward, Netbooks (or whatever you call them) have dominated the news, and we haven’t heard much about MIDs in awhile. I’m not sure if this is due to issues within ...

        The Voltaic Generator Laptop Bag finally priced

        July 20th, 2008

        It’s always fun waiting for the latest and greatest tech toys to come out. However, it’s just cruel when they post ‘Coming Soon’ or anything along those lines. Then there really is no way to know when it will finally come out. This Voltaic Generator is one that was supposed to be coming for a while now, considering it was announced at CES way back in January. Although the Voltaic bag is just another solar powered bag, it does have one extra that isn’t always featured. The materials used ...

          E3 2008: Novint Falcon Hands on

          July 17th, 2008
          by: Charles Husemann
          NEWS - I finally got a chance to play with the Novint Falcon this week.  I've never had a chance to go check out the device, even after Ben tried to drag me over to see the device at CES two years ago.  The device itself looks an alien egg with three tentacles protruding from it.  The tentacles meet at a small triangular plate with a hole and a quick release tab.  It's into this hole that you plug in either systems standard orb control knob or Novints upcoming pistol grip controller.
