The Polaroid saga is a long and strange one. And the last couple years have been especially strange. Bankrupt, reanimated, relaunched, sold out, bought up... I wouldn't be surprised if Polaroid showed up on Dancing With The Stars.
They keep saying t...

So, this Move. I’m pretty sure it brings nothing new to the party. That’s too bad, because the PS3 is starting to take off (after three lackluster years) and it would have helped push units if they had an innovative motion control system....

We told you about Sony's new concept cameras that were announced during PMA, and now that things have calmed down a bit, we're starting to see some details. Specifically, what's going on with the menu system, and what exactly is going to make these c...

Intel cut loose some benchmarking samples of their new, top of the line CPU, the i7-980X Extreme Edition. This is not a CPU intended for the causal use, but rather aim directly at the gaming market. MSRP for the CPU all by itself is a jaw dropping $9...

The slew of music recording / creation apps for the iPhone all share the same weakness. They rely on the internal microphone, and a recording quality microphone it is not. The Guitarbud from PRS Guitars gives you a direct input into your iDevice with...

I don’t completely understand this fascination with in-ear headphones. Are regular headphones just so bulky and inconvenient that its worth the hassle and lower audio quality? Especially considering that in order to start getting decent sound,...

DJ gear is unique in audio in that more than any other equipment, it has to be flashy and able to take a pounding. Usually in the form of spilt beer. My main concern with Pioneer’s new DJM-2000 is how the touchscreen will react to the rough-and...

Short Version: The AVerMedia MTVHDDVRR is a PCI Express video capture card with HDMI, component, S-Video, and composite inputs. The card retails for around $100 (you can find it for close to $90 online) and is capable of capturing up to 1080i video....

A little update on Conan O'Brien, seeing as though we spent a couple of days there talking about his every move. The man is taking his show on the road, bringing the funny to a city near you in the coming weeks! It's the called "The Legally Prohibite...

Most people in the world hear Hewlett-Packard and think "printers." And who can blame them? Since the relatively recent emphasis on the "HP" instead of "Hewlett-Packard," and the general consumer move away from printers, HP hasn't really done anythin...

Are you mysophobic? Oh, you don't know what "mysophobic" is? It's a fancy way of saying "germaphobe", which, according to scientists or linguists or some other group of academics, isn't actually a word. Go figure.
So -- Are you mysophobic? No? Well,...

I’ll just come out and say it. I’m dumb. Clearly. I’ve been listening to music from my computer for ages. Longer than some of you have surfing the Internet, but I’ve never used a computer’s SPDIF connection before. It...

Sepp Blatter (left), the FIFA president, has explained why there won't be goal-line technology at this year's World Cup, saying he wants the sport to maintain a "human element" and that all levels of soccer, from 6-year-old kids to open-goal-missing...

An idea of how much I enjoyed playing The Creative Assembly's, by way of Sega, Napoleon: Total War pretty much all weekend long: I just ordered all four parts of Max Gallo's biography of Napoleon from Amazon France. I don't even speak French! (Well,...

I’m still in shock that the beings above are apparently going to let Smallville surpass SG-1’s record. Oh well. But here’s the trailer for the second half of Stargate Universe’s first season. Here’s hoping that the secon...

Verizon's not going to be too happy about this one. From everyone we've spoken to, they really wanted to keep details surrounding the Android-powered HTC Incredible underwraps for a while longer. That's understandable, given that the Incredible blows...

It’s Tecmo Bowl, but on your Xbox 360 or PS3. And without the NFL-licensed players and teams. But with a 3D-style look and feel! You can go old-school and play in 2D mode, too.

Let the record show: I think motion controllers, like the Wii, Sony Move, or Microsoft's Project Natal, are sorta dumb. They simply don't seem to be precise enough for my tastes—I'm far too used to a mouse and keyboard to give that up for the "...

While a lot of people are pretty pumped about Windows Phone 7, there's are some people who definitely are not: everyone stuck on a now antiquated Windows Mobile 6.5 handset. Microsoft has already confirmed that if your phones running 6.5, it's not go...

Using a foam packing peanut to hold a nail or screw in place is brilliant. I like to think of myself as a pretty mild-tempered person but any time anybody’s asked my wife about the most angry she’s ever seen me, she always tells the story of when...
