Posted Feb 2nd 2008 12:24PM by Darren MurphFiled under: Desktops, Laptops Details are still fuzzy at this point, but according to an e-mail received by numerous tipsters, Microsoft is indeed offering up a free copy of Vista in exchange for their privacy. Yeah, even though it claimed otherwise late last year. According to the note, Redmond is viewing these folks as “registered members” of the Windows Feedback Program, and if they keep their guard down for the remainder of a three month period, they will seemingly receive a copy of its latest OS gratis. So, any others out there finding an unexpected message from the Big M regarding said offer? Let us know in comments below, particularly if you get any free wares or previously ana (Read the full post about ‘Microsoft’s “Vista for privacy” offer still on?’…)
Posted Feb 2nd 2008 9:58AM by Joshua TopolskyFiled under: Peripherals Finally, a mouse just for you. Thanks to the folks at Lite-On, you’ll never have to suffer the debilitating discomfort of an unshapely mouse ever again. The Moldable Mouse will make all your bad memories of ill-fitting input devices float away, using a lightweight modeling clay combined with a nylon and polyurethane fabric to make up its surface. Once you’re palming your new best friend, you can shape its contours to whatever form you desire, though we’re pretty sure making a perfect cube will present a challenge. The “stick-on” buttons and scroll-wheel can be added to any location you like, and communicate via RFID. (Read the full post about ‘Lite-On’s Moldable Mouse takes whatever shape you want’…)
Posted Feb 2nd 2008 11:41AM by Ryan BlockFiled under: Cellphones We don’t yet know for sure what’s up, but we’re hearing that customers of Voce, the luxury MVNO based on AT&T’s network, woke up on February 1st to zero service, dead customer service lines, and even some crazier claims like being double-billed for the final month of service. We gave their sales lines — usually the very last thing to go down — a ring, and got no reply. It’s possible this could be some kind of huge misunderstanding and outage on Voce’s part, which we do hope it is, because if they did shut down they certainly did so in about the most abrupt, impudent way imaginable.

Posted Feb 2nd 2008 4:47PM by Darren MurphFiled under: Gaming, Handhelds, Peripherals Legitimate (read: legal) Famicon support for your DS Lite may seem like a dream come true for the retro gamer, but Cyber Gadget’s Cyber Famulator Lite might be a little much to ask for all but the geekiest. You have to strap on a (barely) pared down “famiclone” system onto your cute little portable, but pulling out and blowing into a dirty old Metroid cart on the go will no doubt be a privilege for some.[Via ExtremeTech]Tags: speakers, cool gear, gprs, MP3 (Read the full post about ‘Cyber Famulator Lite for DS bulks up to get old school’…)
I’m clumsy as hell, generally disorganized, and socially awkward, but I have awesome hair - strawberry blond to red, easy-to-cut, body and bounce all the time. My stylists have always loved playing and experimenting with it. A favorite product line of mine is produced by Jonathan Antin Product (you might remember Jonathan Antin - stylist to the stars - seen on Bravo’s show Blow Out). In addition to the wonderful shampoos, conditioners, oil sprays, and finishing products, comes the Beauty Water Shower Purification System. With all his years of experience, Jonathan took to experimenting with pure, filtered spring water when working with brittle, damaged hair and dry skin, and has a portfolio packed with a-listing results.

With the AppleTV “take 2” still not available, Vudu seems to be willing to put up a strong fight to remain in the market. It was just last week that Vudu lowered their price by 25% and have now added more HD content. A new update, that will bring the software to version 1.2 will add about 80 more movies and also adds an on-screen broadband instant-HD indicator. The movies are priced starting at $4 each, which is comparable to the AppleTV pricing. The indicator will help the instant start movies by giving users an alert as to whether or not their current broadband speed will be able to handle the movie without any delays in watching.

Jobo from Germany have been around for a fair bit of time (the 1920s, to be exact), and has since made a name for itself when it comes to photo processing machines and darkroom accessories. Nearly a century later, the company still soldiers on, and they certainly did not come to PMA ‘08 to have a look at all the booth babes parading new photography equipment. No sir, they were there with a mission as well - displaying a digital camera add-on known as Photo GPS which can be fitted to the flash hot shoe of virtually any digital camera while recording GPS data as you shoot. For those who think that the Photo GPS looks rather familiar, chances are you’ve already seen it last year as it was announced at the previous PMA event.

For the ultimate in cheesy, and absolutely geeky gifts for Valentines Day, behold the “8-Bit Dynamic Life Shirt”. Buy one of these glowing shirts for yourself, and gift one to your significant other (boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, fembot 2000…). During your normal activities two and a half pixelated hearts will light up on your shirt. Hey… you’re depressed and in need of a recharge. But get within hugging distance of your significant other wearing the matching shirt and suddenly the hearts on both of your shirts start to light up until you’re fully powered up. Go too far astray from the source of your affections and you’ll drop back down to two and a half hearts again. (Read the full post about ‘Hearts Light When Your Love Is Near [Video]’…)
