Announced earlier in the year, but launched tonight, the Zik Parrot by Starck headphones are seriously aspirational, coming with touch control, motion activation, active noise cancellation, NFC and Bluetooth connectivity. And of course, being designed by Philippe Starck, they look pretty cool too. Aimed squarely at smartphones users and designed for listening on the move, the outside of the cans
This afternoon my Google+ Hangout On Air account was activated, and I have been doing some testing. Sadly I am slightly discouraged, when you are working with pro gear like the Tricaster you want your video streams to be crystal clear, and your audio to be perfect. With the current hangout interface it is going to be very difficult to
Over the past couple of weeks I have had a AKiTiO MyCloud mini plugged into my network, and when I say mini its small but packs an amazing punch. The AKiTiO MyCloud Mini is essentially a mini customized Linux server that surprisingly has a lot of standard Linux server features, that can become it's own NAS device which then can be used
An anonymous source, (but not the hacker group that goes by the name “Anonymous”) has hacked more than 55,000 Twitter accounts. This includes the username and password of each of the compromised Twitter accounts. Was yours one of the thousands that were hacked? There is a huge list of the Twitter accounts that were affected that you can sort through.
Fingerprints are the bane of modern life. You've got your beautiful new tablet, you show it to your friends and before you can say, "oleic acid", there's a horde of greasy smudges all over the screen. Aaargh!!!

As ubiquitous as touch screens have become over the past decade or so, the future of touch technology is right around the bend. Actually, it seems to be in Pittsburgh, PA, of all places.

As you can see there is a link below that has a no-follow tag on it that takes you to the new show notes page. I explain in the show tonight the reason for the change. There may yet be a software solution here at GNC. But we have to do some more investigating on how to implement it. But
It isn't unusual for Facebook to change things around. In general, these changes tend to annoy users of Facebook for a while, and we all complain, and then eventually adjust to the new look. An example of this phenomena happened when Facebook changed everyone's pages to the new Timeline format. A rash of blogs hit the internet warning people that
One of the problems that Google Hangout has it is limited to 10 people and you can’t record or embed it on your Web site or YouTube. Over the next couple of weeks Google is going to open up Google Hangout Live, which was being tested by a limited number of users to the public in countries around the world.
Over the past 3 days I have been using the Cerevo LiveShell in real world scenarios testing reliability and how the unit performs in bandwidth challenged connections. For the purpose of the review I utilized at Cannon Vixia HF G10 camera, and a Lower end Sony Camera all using HDMI as the video source. I used a Verizon Mifi in
Over the past 7 years I have pulled a pelican case full of gear that makes up my portable studio and it has traveled with me for well over 700,000 airline miles.. For the past few years my goal has been to have the shows I create on the road, be as high quality as the shows I record in
Discovery Communications, parent company of Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, and more, has purchased Revision3, which is a special interest video network that produces shows that people watch online.
