You might think you’ve seen all that can be done with Kinect , but you would of course be wrong. Here’s another example of how Microsoft’s bundle of sensors and cameras can be utilized to freshen up an old concept — in this case a music video — with some arresting new visuals. Just sit back, relax, and hit play. [Thanks, Joe] Kinect used to shoot a gorgeous, ghostly music video originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 02 Feb 2011 05:38:00 EDT.

February 2, 2011 No Comment
As NewsBusters previously reported , Sam Donaldson on Sunday's “This Week” actually thanked the anti-American television network Al Jazeera for what they do in the Middle East. On Tuesday, Fox News's Bill O'Reilly invited Alan Colmes and Monica Crowley on his program to discuss the matter, and by the end of the segment, O'Reilly was practically screaming at Sean Hannity's former partner (video follows with commentary): It really is amazing how these guys at Fox put up with Colmes who just seems like nothing but a liberal antagonist. As for Donaldson, he's never struck me as a man that wouldn't stand up to a challenge. Although I couldn't identify via LexisNexis Sam ever being on O'Reilly's program, he has commented about the “Factor” host with O'Reilly responding on December 19, 2005: BILL O'REILLY, HOST: Continuing now with FOX News analyst Newt Gingrich, who's been following the Christmas controversy with some interest. Our pal Sam Donaldson weighed in over the weekend on that. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) SAM DONALDSON, THIS WEEK: We're accusing this media of ours of trying to get ratings. Well, Bill O'Reilly wants ratings. He wants to stroke the yahoos, where is Mencken when we need him, in his audience by saying there's a war on Christmas. You can say `Merry Christmas'. You can say `Happy Holidays.' `Happy Hanukah.' Say whatever you want. The fact that he's simply trying to get ratings on this should not engage us to think that there's a war on Christmas. (END VIDEO CLIP) O'REILLY: Yahoos? So — what do you think's going on here? I mean, it's reached hysteria with The New York Times column yesterday, you know, Donaldson and all these people. It has reached hysteria. NEWT GINGRICH: Well let me say, first of all, Bill, I don't think I've ever heard a more perfect illustration of the mainstream media's elitism than what Sam Donaldson just said. It appears there's no love lost between these two making it somewhat unlikely Donaldson would accept the challenge. Keep your fingers crossed for this would be quite an event.

February 2, 2011 No Comment
Just because the first few tablet textbooks have shipped doesn’t mean that members of Kno’s development team are resting on their laurels. Product testing on the Kno tablet continues — and it looks like Lego is doing the heavy lifting. They’ve put our favorite plastic building blocks to work by constructing a Kno stress tester out of Lego Technic parts. The robot checks both the Kno’s ambient light sensor and the ability of its touchscreen to accurately track the system’s pen swipes and flicks. Though not as intricate as a Lego replica of a 2000+ year old mechanical computer , the robot — with its hypnotic pendulum-like motion — is still a sight to behold. Check the video after the break.

Hundreds of thousands, perhaps a million people gathered at the Tahrir Square on Tuesday, chanting insults to a leader they lived in fear of for much of the past 30 years. Tuesday attracted the largest and the most diverse crowd of a week of demonstrations, men and women, young and old, workers and unemployed, all camped in the heart of the city demanding the ouster of Husni Mubarak. Al Jazeera’s Dan Nolan reports from Tahrir Square.

Look, let us just sum up the Galaxy S 4G for you: it’s a Vibrant with Froyo, a front-facing camera, and Inception . After reading through the new details T-Mobile’s outed on its latest HSPA+-equipped Android smartphone today, that’s really the best way to describe it… and let’s face it, Avatar (which, you might recall, came bundled with the Vibrant) was getting kind of old and played out anyway. Naturally, like T-Mobile’s other video call-capable devices, the front-facing camera will make use of Qik ; other preinstalled third-party apps will include Kindle , doubleTwist with AirSync , and T-Mobile TV for streaming content from ABC, Fox, PBS, and others. You’ll also get a slight battery capacity bump from the Vibrant to 1650mAh, undoubtedly to counteract the effects of the beefier radio. Revolutionary, no; evolutionary, quite! We don’t have a date or a price yet, but the carrier says we can expect it this month. Follow the break for the full press release.

Continue reading …LG G-Slate fully detailed by T-Mobile: 3D viewing and recording, available March (updated)
February 2, 2011 No Comment
Though it was technically announced back at CES , T-Mobile just barely talked about the LG G-Slate there, spending more time chatting up Dell’s Streak 7 and letting Motorola’s Xoom get virtually all of the Honeycomb attention. Well, that’s changed today with a handful of official new details: turns out the G-Slate features a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, 32GB of internal storage, both a gyroscope and accelerometer, and — this is key — stereoscopic rear-facing video cameras capable of 1080p 3D capture, one of which doubles as a 5 megapixel still camera with LED flash. There’s also a third 2 megapixel camera up front for video chat over T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network or WiFi. Going back to that 3D business for a moment, you’ll need glasses (it’s unclear if they’re active or passive) to enjoy recorded or downloaded 3D content on the G-Slate’s 8.9-inch display — but you’ll also be able to output 1080p video over HDMI to the external display of your choice. Pricing is still an open question, but the companies are now comfortable enough to say that we can expect it “this spring,” so go ahead and start thinking about all the blooming springtime plant life you’ll be filming in three glorious dimensions. Follow the break for the full press release. Update : While T-Mobile hedges its bets with a “spring” launch, LG says that it’ll be hitting US soil in March as one of the first Honeycomb tablets. The honor of being first will almost certainly go to the Motorola Xoom — Google’s in-house “dogfooding” tablet .
