There comes a time in every computer user’s life when they want to step away from the machine — but still control it. The Engage WirelessLCD from uWrite Touch is one way of doing just that, even if you need to step so far away you can’t see a monitor any more. It’s a battery-powered LCD that makes a direct connection to a PC or Mac using a separate adapter, replicating the machine’s video output onto the 10.1-inch, 1024 x 600 wireless and touchable display. 30 feet of range and 3.5 hours of battery life are on offer and, while no pricing is available, given it’s intended for schools and businesses we’ll guess falls well outside of impulse buy territory. Engage wireless LCD is just a few letters short of a brand tie-in originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 14 Feb 2011 21:29:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

Ready for a little sexy video of a camera that is, itself, also filming video? Check out the clip below of a RED EPIC capturing some luscious scenery in California, outfitted with a carbon fiber lens hood — what else? The camera is being worked by Emmy-winning producer and directory Steve Gibby, who indicates the camera is “amazingly light,” that “the finish of the stuff is spot-on,” and even the menus are “straightforward and easy to navigate.” Encouraging? Yes, if you have the money to spend. If you don’t, enjoy the video below and then click on the Vimeo source link for a bunch more, including one of the thing coming out of the box and getting assembled.

In the grand scheme of things, one millimeter may not seem like a lot, but in the smartphone arms race toward ever-slimmer devices, measurements like that matter. Synaptics , best known for building laptop touchpads, has ventured into the capacitive touchscreen realm with a new panel that promises to save exactly that much space: 1mm. But that’s only the start. You see, the thinner display profile is the result of Synaptics melding the touch-sensing layer and the display into one, using what it calls in-cell technology, with the result being something roughly comparable to Samsung’s Super AMOLED implementation . The benefit of going with Synaptics, however, is that the company’s tech is compatible with all display types, meaning that everything from garden variety LCDs to high-density IPS panels can be infused with a bit of touch sensitivity. Additional benefits include extra brightness, as there is one fewer layer for light to get through, and significantly higher sensitivity than on most current generation touch panels. You can see a pretty compelling demo of that on video just past the break. The ClearPad 3250 should find its way to shipping devices over the next nine months, with its current iteration capable of being fitted to screens up to five inches in size and a subsequent model scaling all the way out to eight inches.

Photo: PlanetSave California legislators just introduced a bill that would ban the sale and distribution of shark fins. Shark fins are most popularly used in Chinese soup that’s considered a delicacy.

Words of wisdom from a Greek restaurant owner who employed me in my youth after I messed up an order for moussaka or souvlaki — once OK, twice stupid! Associated Press reporter Liz Sidoti might want to take this advice to heart. In a CPAC roundup story written yesterday and picked up by The Huffington Post, Sidoti wrote this, initially referring to post-Tucson calls for civility — [Video after page break] The brief political time out is over — if it really ever existed. “All right, sit down and shut up,” Cheney said after being greeted by hecklers when he made a surprise appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
