  • Motorola "Opus One" Android Phone Offering Nothing But a Tease [Motorola Opus One]
    The boys at BGR got a hold of a mysterious Motorola phone called the Opus One this morning. Details are sparse, but the source (described as "new") says the phone is the company's first Android iDEN handset. Images are about all that's offered up here. No specs, no dates, no explanation. Just pics and some well-groomed fingernails: We […]
  • A Number of Best Buy's PlayStation 3/HDTV "Deals" Are Iffy [Best Buy]
    So you know that $1,100 off deal Best Buy and Sony teamed up to deliver that packages a PlayStation 3 with games and a Bravia HDTV? Somewhat misleading, according to analysis from our friend Gary over at HD Guru. You see, the televisions in a few of these bundles never really sold for as much as Best Buy says they did, meaning the "steep discounts" […]
  • Parallel Image Display Is Low-Res and Gorgeous [Art]
    Just because it isn't HD doesn't mean it can't be beautiful. The Parallel Image display uses photoreceptors to transmit brightness levels to the other side of the display. I'm in love with all of that gorgeous copper. The project represents how video would be transmitted if serial data had never been invented. Each pixel in the 50x50 grid […]
  • Terminator Salvation BD-Live Director's Commentary Liveblog [Liveblog]

BD-Live account now. 6:08: There's a Harry Potter one on December 12, apparently. 6:12: Trying to figure out how to log into this commentary. 6:12: Sorry, I may have already had a few beers before this thing started. 6:15: I think it's the […]
  • At Least the Camangi Tablet Is Still Coming Out [Camangi]
    The Crunchpad is dead and the Apple Tablet is MIA. Luckily Camangi is here to fulfill our tablet needs. Preorders for the 7" Android tablet are up, and should ship before the end of the month. [Camangi via Engadget]
  • Bionic Lenses Aren't Just for Cataracts Anymore [Medicine]
    As someone who's been nearsighted since I was a kid, I'm loving the new developments in intraocular lenses. There's a new procedure gaining popularity that could give me super vision, without the irreversibility of LASIK. IOLs have been around since the late ‘40s, but recent developments have made them pretty amazing. The newest procedure invo […]
  • WDTV Live Firmware Update Bricking Units? [Unconfirmed]
    Western Digital support forums are filled with comments on the latest WDTV Live firmware update, few of them good. Many users are reporting that firmwares from 1.0.11 up are giving them trouble, at least, and in many cases outright bricking their hardware. If you've got one, hold off on updating for a while. Check out the source links for more info. [WD […]
  • Scientists Thwart the Invisibility Cloak (Again) [Invisibility]
    Invisibility cloaks don't even exist (unless you're Liu Bolin), yet scientists keep trying to ruin the fun. C'mon, guys. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to figure out the awesome uses for one instead of trying to get us all caught? This latest bummer involves two parts. The first is pretty simple. An invisibility cloak would only deflect sp […]
  • Full-Scale, Customizable Lunar Lander Replica For Sale [Space]
    What I want right this moment is a sleek spacesuit and $89,000 so that I can order myself this custom Lunar Lander replica and pretend to be an adventurous spacegirl. No nasty astronaut ice cream for me though, thanks. Geez. These modules are full-scale, custom-everything, and can be based on specific Apollo missions. I really don't think I've want […]

Follow this flowchart to determine if now really is a good time to fire that brick up: Click the image to view a larger version. Based in New York City, Shane Snow is a graduate student in Digital Media at Columbia University and founder of Scor […]
