I was interested in the Halo 3 preview event at Foreign Cinema this weekend. But when Noah went to the NY event hours earlier and came back with Halo 3 edition Zune photos, it increased my interest by a great amount. No biggie. Zune. But when I got there, the…

PC World got their hands on a LG GGW-H10NI Super Multi Blue BD Drive/HD DVD Reader. Oh my goodness that name is horrible. It’s the PC version of the Super Multi Blue that LG released for home theaters, but this version also boasts 2x single layer (4x disc) Blu-ray disc…
This LED table, designed by Julian Appelius and Fabien Dumas, may look like a regular table at first, but that changes when you place something down.

HANNspree’s computer display division, HANNS.G, announced five new LCD displays that are being touted as “Vista certified,” whatever the hell that means. The big beauty is a 22-inch HW-223DPB that displays at 1680×1050 and has a nice 5ms response time and 1,000:1 contrast ratio. It has DVI inputs, but includes…
At first glance this $399 Domia X10 touchscreen control is fantastic. You get a real-picture representation of your room so you can easily select which lights you want to turn on and off. However, the Domia is actually just a fancy picture frame that you stick an actual picture of…
The increasingly unaptly named Home Entertainment Show opened its doors today in NYC at the Grand Hyatt at Grand Central Terminal (now through Sunday, $25-$35). I say that because there are no TVs, or indeed any video technologies, on display. No projectors, no mention of DVDs, let alone HD DVD…
Instead of sticking your subwoofer near the rest of your speakers and rattling the whole room, why not get a SUBstage200, stick it under your couch, and make sure you feel that bass? The SUBstage200, a follow-up to the older SUBstage100, will have a 200-watt Class D amp on board…
Here is the latest addition to our ever-growing steampunk collection. This is a true, Victorian Lancaster Pocket Watch that also includes a spy camera. This spy tool has a bit of history, too. It was owned by the grandson of a cabinetmaker who worked at J. Lancaster & Son likely…
I never really got into the whole gamer keypad thing, as I figured you’d have to be much more into PC gaming than I am to want to unhook your keyboard and hook up a tinier one so you could frag faster. If having a smaller keyboard actually provided any…
Here’s another clip from my interview with Steve Wozniak yesterday. This time, he’s talking about what about Apple makes people so fanatical. Sure, I could have asked Blam, but he looks so cute sleeping in his Apple pajamas that I couldn’t bear to wake him up. Anyways, Woz is a…
Researchers in Germany have developed a software program that can re-assemble shredded documents. The software relies on special algorithms to help piece everything back together as it scans and analyses documents based on their color, shape, handwriting, texture and typeface. The software can even piece together files shredded by machines,…
Those industrious Indians are so smart. To hell with that one laptop per child (OLPC, pictured above) project whose notebook price started at $100 and now costs upwards of $175 and climbing”Indian researchers say they can bring one in for a fraction of that cost, a mere $10 for a…
Helicopters aren’t known for their speed, which is why Sikorsky Aircraft is working on a chopper prototype with two sets of blades instead of one. The blades, which would spin in opposite directions, would create equal amounts of lift on both sides of the chopper. In other words, by spinning…

Those crazy cats at Tokyo’s University of Science have come up with a muscle suit. No, I’m not quite sure what it’s for either. Is it to wear under a suit to give you the illusion of being buff and studly? Or is it to develop your muscles? Nope, apparently…
Today, Alltel, the littlest big carrier, launches Jump Music, software that’s iTunes-like in its dual nature as music manager and storefront. The announcement might seem like a non-event to most Giz readers”how many Alltel customers are even out there in the Giz nation? But you may want to start paying…
The Senate today introduced a bill to prevent outlandish increases in net-radio royalties, a companion to the bill proposed by the House of Representatives last month. I decided to check in with Pandora’s founder Tim Westergren again to see how he and his fellow webcasters got such sudden political clout….
We’ve had lots of time to use, re-use, and digest every feature available on the Helio Ocean. We’ve done UI videos, hardware galleries, handset sharing tutorials and sync tutorials, but what you really want to know is what we think of it. Here’s our review, broken down feature by feature…
Our Australian parent company, Allure Media, is looking for an office staffer to work in Sydney to help take care of business. But they’ll also be helping out on the editorial side of things, too. So if you know your ‘your’ from your ‘you’re’, and you’re looking for a break…
The Helio Ocean is an emailing machine, allowing you to manage a whole slew of email accounts at once. Also, Helio, unsurprisingly, would love it if you stocked up on their phones. You know, if you grabbed an Ocean for going to work and a Heat for going out at…
Looks like our favorite Web browser is about to go mobile. Mozilla head honcho, Mitchell Baker, told the folks at APC magazine that Mozilla is working on a Firefox to go for your cellphone. It’s a long-term project (meaning it’s not coming out any time soon), but the goal is…

This is the RTX (Rapid Thermal Exchange) glove. It may look like a kinky fetish toy, but it is actually a pretty unique way to cool the body. It doesn’t necessarily cool the body like the way a good fan does, but rather it utilizes the key radiator zone (the…
It is getting close to summer, which inevitably means it is time to pull that old dog out of the closet, dust her off and take her for a stroll. Wired has a roundup of some of the best gear for the gadget-addicted dogs. The list includes dog pedometers, treadmills…
Remember the eStarling? It’s the $249 digital picture frame from Think Geek that promised Wi-Fi connectivity, RSS downloads and the ability to email pictures directly to it, but ruined the Christmases of thousands of people who were sucked in by its false allure. It simply didn’t work, so all of…
Since we couldn’t get part two of our video walkthrough up in time last night, we’re giving you a bonus video as well! This time we go through much of the UI elements and answer questions you posted in the comments last night. Hit the jump for part 3 (and…

By Brendan I. Koerner I can definitely see the wisdom in having excised negotiation from most of our daily commerce. Imagine if every time you had to buy a roll of toilet paper from CVS, the cashier tried to highball you: “That’ll be $3.99, sir…What? You don’t want to pay…
This is the story of an R&B singer who performed some “simulated sex” on stage with some girl who, though admitted to the club, turned out to be under 18. This is the story of truly angry consumers who lit up VZW’s switchboard with complaints until the carrier cried “Uncle”…
These Tune Phones look like they could be quite comfortable. Too bad they only hold 512MB of your favorite songs in their built-in MP3 player, but then that might be enough for even the longest of walks or runs. You control the proceedings with the four buttons on the right…
