If you didn’t get enough of our coverage of Red and their Red One 4K camera at NAB, here’s one more thing to tide you over until the release. It’s a clip of Peter Jackson‘s “Crossing the Line” video that was shot entirely with “Boris” and “Natasha”, the Red One prototypes.
This video is only 1/4 the resolution, so you’ll probably only be 1/4 as impressed as people were when they saw it live. – Jason Chen

We shot a little footage of the new auto wall mount option available from Samsung to suit most of their new TV range (40-inch and bigger screens). Remote controlled, it pans, it tilts, and it even turns in shame when you get a bit too excited about Dancing with the Stars.
Price is expected to be $900, though could be seasonally adjusted.
Yes, the vid could be better. But then, I could have brought nothing home, and then where would you be! -Seamus Byrne
This bicycle lift from some Norway may be old hat for them, but totally blew our minds when we saw it earlier today. Picture a guided train track railing that you stick your foot on while you ride your bike that will guide you up a hill.
The entire idea is so brilliant that we’re now demanding that it be installed all over San Francisco in order to ease congestion (took us nearly an hour to get from one part to another thanks to the Cherry Blossom Festival). Check out the gallery to see all 130 meters of it in action. – Jason Chen

Most of today’s cellphones are pretty good when it comes to battery life, but Motorola is hoping it can make them better by fusing a phone’s LCD with solar panels. The company has a new patent that speaks of a mobile phone with a screen that can both power the device and charge its internal battery. The concept itself isn’t new, but we hope the folks at Motorola can turn this idea into a reality ’cause anything that can keep my smartphone juiced for a few extra hours is a welcome feature. – Louis Ramirez

We love a crazy company like Solid Alliance that takes chances and does insane things much more than a company that just plays it safe and throws out yet another me too device and hopes it sells. Following up on their USB Food Hub and Food-shaped Flash Drives, SA’s just released an Aura Monitor cellphone strap.
Essentially a giant mood ring, the Aura Monitor changes between eight different colors depending on your mood. So yes, it’s just as useless. But it does look pretty cool as a cellphone strap. – Jason Chen

If you’re used to having your one-bedroom apartment littered with Chinese takeout boxes, then these Take Out Container Lamps should bring a bit of kitsch. They’re available in broccoli green, eggplant purple, hot and spicy chicken red, vomit yellow, and cost only $14.95 each.
We’re always fans of stuff shaped like other stuff, so these lamps are something we could see buying as a nice housewarming gift. – Jason Chen

Samsung have updated their TV range across the board, with teh focus on their top-end M8 and mid-range designer R8 models. Remember the R7′s V-shape base? Now it’s become a silky smooth curve with a little light in the middle. Is that going to make you upgrade? No? How about some tasty spec upgrades and some delicious price downgrades. Like 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Yeah, that’s right. Taste the black. Oh yeah, and FINALLY we get 3 HDMI inputs in a panel, along with a rainbow of other connection options.
Panels are expected to land in June. Details (and pricing) after the jump.
I’m not sure what’s scarier, the AK-47 she’s holding or the iPod‘s invasion of all corners of the globe. Actually, my real question is: Would it be possible to replace the lip plate with a speaker? – Matt Buchanan

The GhostRadar is all about spotting dead people. How? Hey! What’s that over there!
Like any good supernatural product, there are some wonderfully non-committal disclaimers on the site, just in case you think this is going to turn you into the fifth Ghostbuster overnight.
GhostRadar does not guarantee to detect ghosts, nor does it imply that they exist. But it might, and they may. However, your interaction, emotional state, and belief system, may be important factors in how you interpret unusual events.
Yes, and those blinky lights in no particular arrangement are clearly going to give you quantifiable readouts on… or for… nope, I’ve got nothin’. The site is worth a look just to see the flowery buzz speak to make it all seem so damn important. But details on what exactly this thing is meant to be doing? Oh gee, we can’t reveal it’s SECRETS… OOOOOOOH!
So You’ve been warned. A nice EMF trinket (hell, probably not even that), but you’ve got buckley’s of finding ghosts with it. Or do you? Who knows? -Seamus Byrne

Nothing is worse than coming home after a night out reeking of cigarettes and alcohol. That’s where Jun Kurihara’s conceptual smart clothes hangar comes in.
It uses ion technology to remove foul stenches from your clothes without requiring a trip to the dry cleaner. I only smoke once in a blue moon, but I know tons of people who would love something like this (assuming it lives up to its claim). – Louis Ramirez
