June 14, 2011 No Comment
It was only a matter of time before D-Link entered the WiDi fray . Even though Intel is pushing manufacturers to pack the wireless display tech into practically every laptop (and even a few tablets ), options for actually getting that feed on your TV have been scarce. The decidedly nondescript MainStage adapter gives you at least one more choice and, since it boasts WiDi 2.0, you can beam 1080p video and 5.1 surround sound to your home theater from up to 33 feet away — all while you continue to browse and chat on the small screen. You can find them now in all the usual places (Newegg, Best Buy, Amazon, etc…) for $129.99, but our neighbors to the north in Canada will have to wait till July to get their hockey-loving mittens on one. Check out the PR after the break.

N-Control Avenger Xbox 360 attachment makes it look complicated, we go hands-on (video)
June 14, 2011 No Comment
At first glance, the N-Control Avenger looks like the fevered dream of a quirky lunatic, destined for fame and failure as a legendary crapgadget . When one showed up on our doorstep, we were admittedly skeptical. Could a lever- and pulley-laden Xbox 360 controller clamshell really give us a competitive edge? Wouldn’t all the extra bits and pieces only result in a cumbersome mess? Is this doodad really worth the $50 asking price? We went hands-on to find out, and boy howdy, were we surprised.

As Alec Baldwin weighs whether or not to run for mayor of New York City, his comedy is set to run for best flavor of ice cream ever. Saturday Night Live alumna Ana Gasteyer told NY1 that Ben & Jerry’s is planning to release a “Schweddy Balls” flavor of ice cream for the upcoming holiday

June 14, 2011 No Comment
Is that 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 -powered Xperia Arc just too darn fast? We may have just the KIRF you’re looking for. A simple phone with a simple name: the “DR.” This petite pretender shaves 0.2-inches off of the Arc’s 4.2-inch display, adding only 0.03mm of thickness along the way. Forget that Adreno 205 graphics processor, this baby runs on a Meditek MTK6516 ARM compatible processor, a setup often mistakenly advertised as dual-core with a whopping 416MHz core for running Android 2.2.1, and a second 208MHz core dedicated exclusively for the wireless radio. For the record, radio-dedicated partitions are usually skipped on core counts. Wrap it up with premo luxuries like a 3.5-inch headphone jack and 2 megapixel camera, and you’ve got an Xperia knock-off that’s… well, pretty timid. But hey, it’s only 1000 yuan ($154), so at least you can get dangerously close to Xperia territory without shattering the bank. If that’s enough for you, check out a hands-on video (in Chinese) after the break.

June 14, 2011 No Comment
Thanks to one of our readers getting an early install, we’ve already dug deep into Comcast’s next generation Xfinity TV DVR, but on Thursday Brian Roberts will show it off in full (along with “new broadband speeds”) at the 2011 NCTA Cable Show . According to the press release the new guide that blends internet content with TV broadcasts will include customizations and sharing tied to Facebook along with hardware built by Pace around an Intel CPU — if anyone needs a suggestion for a service to add after Skype , we’re thinking OnLive could be a good fit. The detail we’re waiting to hear is when it will be upgrading the pitiful boxes currently available in our neck of the woods, but until then we have another tipster to thank for pointing out a cache of demo videos posted on the portal for initial testers in Georgia . The 17-minute compilation of walkthrough videos is embedded above, just try not to drool too hard over the HD formatted UI.
