HP ZR30w 30-Inch S-IPS LCD Monitor Review
When given the opportunity to review HP's new 30" ZR30w display, we answered 'yes' without hesitation. We didn't need to hear the rest - the fact that this is a ginormous 30-inch display built around a sexy S-IPS panel is all we needed to know. S-IPS, or Super In-Plane Switching, is the Rolls Royce of display panels and almost always offers significantly better color reproduction and far wider viewing angles than the much more common (and cheaper to produce) Twisted Nematic (TN) panels. S-IPS displays also tend

Amimon Prototype Streams 3D 1080p Video Without Wires
Wireless HD and wireless HDTV has had quite a difficult time gaining ground in the mainstream. We suspect there are two main reasons: one, it's expensive, and two, it's not that difficult to just run an HDMI cable. There's also the fact that even a completely wireless HDTV will still require a power cable, so regardless of how fancy your wireless setup is, you'll still be relying on at least one cable (so there's not much harm in having two cables). But Amimon, which has been a player in the niche wireless high-def

ThinkFlood Recalls Lot Of RedEye Mini IR Dongles For iPod, iPad And iPhone
Well, this isn't the way you'd like to usher in a major product launch that you've been hyping for months. But in fairness, we would rather a company come forward and announce a recall versus not doing anything at all, and that is exactly what ThinkFlood has done with the RedEye Mini. The company's newest IR dongle, which is meant to fit into iPad, iPod touch and iPhone products in order to give them universal remote capabilities, was just launched last week. But now, a bunch of those first units to get shipped

MeeGo Operating Systems Selected For Use In Cars
Usually, it's rather difficult for a new operating system to find traction. There's already quite a few options on the market, and people are rarely out searching for new operating systems when the ones available to them seemingly handle their needs quite well already. But MeeGo, which was created out of Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo converging, is a rare find. Unlike a majority of Linux-based systems, MeeGo seems to actually have a chance at mainstream survival, but of course it doesn't hurt to have the

Sprint Targeting Aug. 20th for Epic 4G?
The Samsung Galaxy S is known to be coming to all four major carriers in one variant or another, with T-Mobile (Vibrant) and AT&T (Captivate) having already released their versions. Sprint's Epic 4G will be the first 4G version of the device, and it will have a slide-out keyboard and front-facing camera as well, missing from all the other versions. What we don't have is a solid launch date. However, recent history, in terms of Samsung product videos, has revealed a possible date. First, AT&T's Captivate

Zynga founder Aims High: Wants to be Gaming's Google
You may not have heard of Zynga, but you have probably heard of one of its creations, Farmville. The founder of Zynga, Marc Pincus, 44, has high expectations for his firm, aiming, the New York Times says, to become the Google of gaming. Notice that Pincus didn't say the Google of social gaming, although that's what the Zynga Game Network specializes in. Instead, he's aiming for games, period. Based on recent history, it's not out of the question. For example, Facebook needed 4 1/2 years to reach 100 million

Consumer Spending On Electronics Expected To Rise In The Coming Year
In need of some good news for your weekend? Try this on for size. With the economy on the rebound, many analysts are looking to the consumer electronics sector to see if disposable income is once again being spent on new PCs and other gadgets that we could probably live without, but would rather not. After Microsoft, Intel and just about everyone else suffered less than ideal quarters throughout 2009, we've seen some rather glowing reports from the earnings front this year. And now, the Consumer Electronics

HP ZR30w 30-Inch S-IPS LCD Monitor Review
How should you go about determining what size monitor to buy? It's simple - go out and purchase the biggest, baddest display you can afford, because really, you only get one shot at this thing called life, so why waste it staring at a 23-inch panel? If you're still not convinced, consider that, more than any other component in your entire build, it's the monitor you'll use to its fullest 100 percent of the time. You can't say that about your dual-videocards, six-core processor, or even your keyboard, but it

Zynga founder Aims High: Wants to be Gaming's Google
You may not have heard of Zynga, but you have probably heard of one of its creations, Farmville. The founder of Zynga, Marc Pincus, 44, has high expectations for his firm, aiming, the New York Times says, to become the Google of gaming.Notice that Pincus didn't say the Google of social gaming, although that's what the Zynga Game Network specializes in. Instead, he's aiming for games, period. Based on recent history, it's not out of the question. For example, Facebook needed 4 1/2 years to reach 100 million users, but Zynga required only 2 1/2 years.
Zynga recently received $520 million in financing, which included the funds from Google. According to anonymous sources, some of that cash was $300 million via two roughly equal investments from Softbank and Google.
The NYT also notes that Zynga's employee base has risen from 375 a year ago to 1,000 now, with 400 openings. Inside Network, which tracks Facebook apps, says Zynga is on track to make as much as $500 million in revenue this year.
Given all that, and considering Zynga's Internet presence (it's not going to build a game for a PC in the lines of Starcraft 2, after all), perhaps Google should acquire the company rather than investing in it.
What do you readers think? After all, Google wants to be all things Internet. It would, however, derail Pincus' goal of becoming the Google of gaming, and it would cost a pretty penny, too: Zynga's value has been estimated to be $4.5 billion.

Sprint Targeting Aug. 20th for Epic 4G?
The Samsung Galaxy S is known to be coming to all four major carriers in one variant or another, with T-Mobile (Vibrant) and AT&T (Captivate) having already released their versions. Sprint's Epic 4G will be the first 4G version of the device, and it will have a slide-out keyboard and front-facing camera as well, missing from all the other versions. What we don't have is a solid launch date.
First, AT&T's Captivate was released on July 18th. The Samsung product video showed up on the next business day, July 19th. The T-Mobile Vibrant's video appeared on July 21st, which would appear to be late, as the device shipped on July 15th, but if you remember it was originally set to release on July 21st, it makes sense.
Looking at Samsung's video schedule, it now says the Epic 4G's video is set for August 20th.
If the theory holds up, that's the date for the launch of the Sprint Epic 4G. A more vague clue also comes in the form of a tweet from Samsung, in which they said the Epic 4G was coming in a "few weeks."
With the exception of the slide-out keyboard and a front-facing camera, the Epic 4G is pretty much a clone of the other Galaxy S devices coming to U.S. carriers. It has a 4" Super AMOLED screen, 1 GHz Hummingbird CPU, a 5 MP camera, 802.11n wi-fi, a 1500 mAH battery and a 6-axis accelerometer, in addition to the keyboard and F-F camera. It's unclear if we will see Android 2.1 or 2.2 at launch.

Okoro Brings Quad CableCard Support To SX100 HTPC
Okoro Media Systems has been producing pre-fabricated HTPCs for years now, and even as the niche narrows, they're continuing to be one of the go-to places for new living room computers. Now, the company is looking for ways to convince consumers to spring for an HTPC when they wouldn't otherwise, and the newly equipped SX100 is just the thing. It's just 3" tall, which is extremely slim for a full-fledged HTPC. And despite what you may assume, Okoro has managed to equip the machine with some pretty respectable specifications given the small size and limited airflow room.The 2010 edition SX100 is unique in the fact that it can be ordered with a Quad HD Tuner, which also supports CableCARD. If you have a CableCARD and a quad HD tuner, you can record and/or watch four high-def cable streams at once. All within a system that's 3" tall, too. Other specifications include a stock 2.93GHz Core i3-350 processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, 2TB of storage, a Blu-ray player, integrated Intel X4500HD graphics, and 7.1-channel audio output.
The stock configuration is $1695, but it can be customized to your liking if you've got the spare cash.

Amimon Prototype Streams 3D 1080p Video Without Wires
Wireless HD and wireless HDTV has had quite a difficult time gaining ground in the mainstream. We suspect there are two main reasons: one, it's expensive, and two, it's not that difficult to just run an HDMI cable. There's also the fact that even a completely wireless HDTV will still require a power cable, so regardless of how fancy your wireless setup is, you'll still be relying on at least one cable (so there's not much harm in having two cables). But Amimon, which has been a player in the niche wireless high-def transmission game for awhile now, might be onto something with their latest demonstration. As 3D continues to take over the industry, companies like Amimon have little choice but to keep pace with the innovation. Now, the company is showing off a new system that transmits 3D high-definition video without any wires, all using their own WHDI high-speed wireless standard. That standard utilizes the 5GHz band, which is far less likely to suffer interference than the crowded 2.4GHz band used so often today in wireless routers. The demonstration proved that Amimon's technology was capable of transmitting 1080p 3D video at 24fps over the 5GHz band, with no drops or graphical problems to speak of.
It's all just a prototype setup for now, but there's a good chance that a shipping system will be available soon. Whether or not the company will make retrofit kits available for existing televisions or simply build this technology into forthcoming sets remains to be seen.

ThinkFlood Recalls Lot Of RedEye Mini IR Dongles For iPod, iPad And iPhone
Well, this isn't the way you'd like to usher in a major product launch that you've been hyping for months. But in fairness, we would rather a company come forward and announce a recall versus not doing anything at all, and that is exactly what ThinkFlood has done with the RedEye Mini. The company's newest IR dongle, which is meant to fit into iPad, iPod touch and iPhone products in order to give them universal remote capabilities, was just launched last week. But now, a bunch of those first units to get shipped out are heading back.The RedEye Mini Lot CO101 has experienced a full recall, with the company finding that there is a "huge likelihood" that those units will fail. Consumers who have ended up with a CO101 unit can opt to receive either a replacement unit from the next lot (D0102) or a full refund of their purchase. According to the company, the failures are "the result of vibrations which cause wiring between the headphone jack and the mini’s printed circuit board to break or to create short circuits with other components." In the first design, headphone jack is soldered directly to the printed circuit board, preventing the printed circuit board from moving relative to the headphone jack. The manufacturer of the C0101 lot felt that it was too difficult to solder the headphone jack to the printed circuit board in this fashion. As a result, ThinkFlood approved a design change that would allow the circuit board to be secured to the plastic enclosure by a permanent adhesive, thus keeping the printed circuit board fixed and preventing vibrations from stressing the wiring.
Then, the company began to see a huge amount of failures in the field with circuit boards coming loose, so they're making this decision now. You can visit the link below to see about your options, but it sounds like early adopters will be taken care of.

MeeGo Operating Systems Selected For Use In Cars
Usually, it's rather difficult for a new operating system to find traction. There's already quite a few options on the market, and people are rarely out searching for new operating systems when the ones available to them seemingly handle their needs quite well already. But MeeGo, which was created out of Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo converging, is a rare find. Unlike a majority of Linux-based systems, MeeGo seems to actually have a chance at mainstream survival, but of course it doesn't hurt to have the world's largest chip maker and world's largest cell phone maker backing the system's existence.For months now, the world has been told that MeeGo was the next big OS for MIDs, UMPCs, smartphones, slates and other portable computing platforms. And the demonstrations that have filtered out this far are rather impressive. But it appears that MeeGo has more on its mind than just simple portable PCs. It may even end up in your next motor vehicle. The Linux Foundation proudly announced that MeeGo has been selected by the GENIVI Alliance as the "basis of its next reference release for In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI)." You may have never heard of GENIVI, but we're guessing you have heard of BMW, General Motors, Hyundai and Peugeot Citroen. Those are some of the automakers that rely on GENIVI for their in-vehicle NAV systems and entertainment systems, and if MeeGo suddenly takes over, that leaves every other automaker scrambling to finally put a legitimate operating system into vehicles and into the hands of drivers.
Can you imagine having MeeGo at your fingertips while at the wheel? An app store? Real navigation? Possibly even a live Internet connection to download media to your car's hard drive? Having MeeGo in a car could definitely change the way people see in-car NAV systems, and we're excited to see this partnership finally lead to drastic changes in that sector.
MeeGo Software Platform Chosen by the GENIVI Alliance
SAN FRANCISCO, July 23, 2010 – The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced the GENIVI Alliance has chosen MeeGo as the basis of its next reference release for In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI).
MeeGo is an open source platform hosted by The Linux Foundation that brings together Intel Corporation and Nokia’s previous projects and is designed for computing device types including smartphones, netbooks, tablets, mediaphones, connected TVs and IVI systems. Adoption by this major automotive alliance is a testament to the cross-device, cross-architecture advantages of the MeeGo platform. GENIVI is a nonprofit industry alliance with founding members BMW Group, Delphi, GM, Intel, Magneti-Marelli, PSA, Visteon and Wind River.
IVI is a rapidly growing and evolving field that encompasses the digital applications that can be used by all occupants of a vehicle, including navigation, entertainment, location-based services, and connectivity to devices, car networks and broadband networks. MeeGo will provide the base for the upcoming GENIVI Apollo release that will be used by members to reduce time to market and the cost of IVI development. MeeGo’s platform contains a Linux base, middleware, and an interface layer that powers these rich applications.
“We are pleased to see GENIVI choose MeeGo to power their software platform,†said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation. “MeeGo has been built from the ground up for these types of applications. Because MeeGo is a truly open platform, the work GENIVI will do to extend the platform can benefit the project and all who use it. For developers, this is a great opportunity to harness the power of the MeeGo APIs to target a variety of devices and architectures and extend their work on handset applications toward vehicles.â€
“We selected MeeGo as the open source basis for our platform because it is technically innovative and can provide the cross architecture build support we require for our references,†said Graham Smethurst, President of GENIVI. “Working with MeeGo we expect to establish a solution that effectively merges IVI needs with those of the other MeeGo target device categories.â€
“Access to a thriving ecosystem and engaging applications for an in-vehicle infotainment system is vital to our customers,†said Gerulf Kinkelin, GENIVI Director and Innovation Area Manager for Electronics and Telematices, PSA Peugeot Citroen. “PSA supports GENIVI’s decision and believes the rapid innovation associated with open source and a rich network of contributors available with MeeGo can enable us to define and deliver a faster time-to-market, outstanding IVI experience in our upcoming products.â€
An initial release of the MeeGo platform is available now from http://www.meego.com/downloads. Interested parties can download and contribute to the project. The MeeGo project encourages all automakers or industry groups to participate in the MeeGo project or make use of its software to power their own distributions.Â

Mind controlling headsets
Next gen gaming
Not sure if any one has posted about these items yet, but i found them while searching the internet and thought they could be developed into sick gaming products.These headsets are designed to read brain signals and convert them into programed commands, imagine setting up your fire button in fps games so you only have to think of firing.
The one on the left is neurosky's mindset headset (sells for $200) and the one on the right is ocz's mind controller (sells for $100).
May not be much of a use for them right now seeing not many games are developed for these kind of products, but would be pretty cool to see games developed with them in mind. like a game developed so you can move objects with your mind like half life 2's gravity gun.

Video Games Helpful to Children and Surgeons
New studies conducted at a number of prominent Universities around the country have finally revealed what many of us gamers and long time technophiles have known all along--video games can help kids learn, and improve dexterity and some cognitive functions.Other information gathered from the studies, however, didn't focus solely on game-playing children. They also used information gathered to gauge the abilities of some doctors and surgeons, and found that playing video games had a huge impact on their abilities as well.
"One study of 33 laparoscopic surgeons found that those who played video games were 27 percent faster at advanced surgical procedures and made 37 percent fewer errors than those who didn't.
Advanced video game skills also were a good way to predict suturing abilities, according to their study, which was published in the Archives of Surgery in 2007."
 Grand Theft Auto 4 |
"The single best predictor of their skills is how much they had played video games in the past and how much they played now. Those were better predictors of surgical skills than years of training and number of surgeries performed...So the first question you might ask your surgeon is how many of these (surgeries) have you done and the second question is 'Are you a gamer?"
To say the single best predictor of a surgeon's skills was how much they had played video games is a very bold statement. We have trouble buying into that statement fully, but believe there is some element of truth there. The fact of the matter is, a surgeon that is more comfortable manipulating a controller while getting visual feedback from a screen, is more likely to be comfortable performing surgeries in a similar manner.
"Researchers who gathered in Boston for the American Psychological Association convention detailed a series of studies suggesting video games can be powerful learning tools--from increasing younger students' problem-solving potential to improving the suturing skills of laparoscopic surgeons. One study even looked at whether playing "World of Warcraft," the world's biggest multiplayer online game, can improve scientific thinking."
News like this starkly contrasts much of what is reported in the mainstream media regarding video games. When games like Grand Theft Auto 4 launch and pull in more money than many so-called Hollywood Busters, much of the media tends to focus on the negative aspects of gaming. Yes, GTA4 is violent. But how many hours of entertainment and stress relief have adults gotten from playing the game? A lot. And according to these studies, those gamers are probably better problem solvers than their non-gamer counterparts.
 World of Warcraft |
Of course, there was some bad news reported as well. "Other studies confirmed earlier research that found students who played violent games tended to be more hostile, less forgiving and believed violence to be normal compared to those who played nonviolent games. And those who played more entertainment games did poorer in school and were are greater risk of obesity."
Were the parent of these students also studied? We suspect that the fatter, more violent children gamers also have parents that were less involved and more willing to let the kids play whatever games they wanted.

A Glass of Water Might Help Your MPG
This will sound outlandish, but any veteran driver of a Prius, or at least one who's worked hard to get decent mileage out of the hybrid, will tell you it's not. Toyota wants you to drive with a glass of water on your dash; it'll improve your MPG.Actually, Toyota wants you to drive as though you had a glass of water on your dash. The company has even launched a site called "A Glass of Water."
Those who have driven a Prius, and gotten good at the "video game" display in the center dash display, which is designed to help you maximize your MPG, will realize the truth in this. It's the gentle, steady acceleration that keeps a glass of water balanced on your dash that is most efficient for your gas mileage.
For those who have an iPhone, Toyota has provided an iPhone app that records your driving distance, time, fuel consumption and "virtual water spilled." The app shows you (on a map) where you can improve your driving habits. The results are automatically uploaded to Toyota's A Glass of Water website and compared with the results of others.
Toyota says that those who really stick to the program can gain up to 10 percent on their MPG. As with anything, however, "your mileage may vary."
