Monster builds Daft Punk Edition Tron Headphones, unwittingly unleashes moral quandary of a generation
December 8, 2010 No Comment
We can’t tell, is this (and by “this” we mean the entertainment machine that is Disney / Daft Punk / Tron / Jeff Bridges, melding with the monster that is Monster , and creating a pair of $350 ultra-glossy headphones) the ultimate payoff of our childhood hopes and dreams, or their ultimate ruination and desecration? Both?

We’d all like our tables to be a little smarter, and anyone who works for a company would surely like their meetings to have a bit more intelligence, too. Pioneer is hoping to kill two birds with one rather sizeable piece of furniture: the Discussion Table, due sometime next year. Interestingly it’s simply a Core i7 -based PC running Windows Embedded Standard 7, with minimal custom coding on top of that. Users can bring their mobile PCs nearby and share documents to the table or remote desktop right into their machines from it, showing their docs and displays in scalable and rotatable windows. The Windows underpinnings handles the multitouch details, also offering what must surely be the biggest virtual keyboard ever seen in the wild. The Table has a single-sheet scanner built in the side and even offers TransferJet, so that everyone can download pictures of Boss’s drunken holiday party antics wirelessly.

December 8, 2010 No Comment
Intel’s full unveil of the next-gen Sandy Bridge processor line isn’t due until January , but the products are already starting to leak out. The M17x is our second 17-incher ( HP’s dv7 being the first), and this time we’ve got in-the-wild shots and benchmarks to chew on. In 3DMark06 a 2GHz Core i7-2630QM machine running Intel’s integrated graphics scored 15,940, while a 2.2GHz i7-2720QM with AMD Radeon HD 6900M graphics nailed a 20,155 mark, and a 2.3GHz i7-2820QM chip paired with a GeForce GTX 460M GPU did 16,957. Of course, these numbers are supremely preliminary, but it sounds like Intel’s integrated graphics are (finally) starting to pull their weight, just like Intel keeps promising. Otherwise, the M17x looks to be mostly unchanged, which is probably good news for gamers, bad news for anyone hoping Alienware would pursue some new sort of “understated” design language in 2011.

Image: CNN Video screen grab Fair Criticism? Or Not CNN has a video segment about Washington D.C.’s Capital Bikeshare , a bike sharing program with over 1,000 bicycles and 100 stations. The whole thing is pretty positive: They interview people who feel like bike-commuting in such a convenient way has made their lives better and is also helping the environment. But in the piece there’s a small piece of criticism that is buried, and I want to highlight it to show how hypocritical it is. But first, check out the video below…. Read the full story on TreeHugger
