TI's Chips Will Make 2012's Tablets Real-Time 3-D Supercomputers
Texas Instruments has just outed a chip well ahead of its 2012 availability date, but it's such a hot ticket item it's worth knowing about--because it may enable your tablet PCs of next year to surpass your laptops of this year, with whizbang features like real-time 3-D video. The OMAP 5 chip packs two ARM Cortex A15 cores inside (a tech we've covered before) running at up to 2GHz. So right from the start it'll outperform the single-core 1GHz chips inside the current crop of tablet PCs--including the Cortex A8-based iPad--as well being twice as fast as upcoming A9-based tablets, which may include the iPad 2. But enough about the tech.

Internet Streaming 101: How To Watch Live TV Online
Have you ever missed your favorite television show one week and wanted to watch it before the next week’s new episode aired so that you wouldn’t be completely lost (Fans of “24” and “Lost” can certainly relate to this). Have you parked yourself in front of your television to watch a football, basketball, or soccer match only to realize that the game isn’t playing in your market? Have you ever wanted to watch foreign newscasts only to realize that your cable or satellite provider doesn’t provide the coverage you want? Well, you can spend a lot of money and invest in a satellite dish, TiVO, and premium sports and pay-per-view packages. But who has that kind of money to throw around, especially in these difficult times?
Toshiba gets lap-happy with eight new notebooks for 2010
Toshiba has fully embraced Intel's offerings for 2010 with the launch of enough laptops to build an entire stand at CES. There will be eight to choose from when they arrive in the coming weeks, each armed with Nvidia GPUs, 4GB of RAM and typically Toshiba chassis. The luxury, 16-inch multimedia Satellite A505, the enormous screen, 18.4-inch Satellite P505, the business-minded Tecra A11 with LED screen and the Elite, BD-toting Qosmio X505 will each feature the quad core Intel Core i7 chips. They start from $770, $800, $880 and $1,200 respectively but that's before you've specced them up. If you're happy to settle for the dual core Intel Core i5 then you'll find it mildly kinder on your funds if you seek out the 17.3-inch, Satellite L555, 15.6-inch Satellite L505 or the light-weight, mobile 13-inch Satellite U505. They're yours from $650, $450 and $650 again, and the baby of the bunch is the 14-inch Satellite M505 with LED backlit screen that starts at $700.
Universal robotic gripper
Robert Barker/University Photography The human hand is an amazing machine that can pick up, move and place objects easily, but for a robot, this "gripping" mechanism is a vexing challenge. Opting for simple elegance, researchers from Cornell, the University of Chicago and iRobot Corp. have created a versatile gripper using everyday ground coffee and a latex party balloon, bypassing traditional designs based on the human hand and fingers. They call it a universal gripper, as it conforms to the object it's grabbing, rather than being designed for particular objects, said Hod Lipson, Cornell associate professor of mechanical engineering and computer science.
Zelcos Outi Headphones Zap Sound Through Your Body
The idea of bypassing the air and sending sound waves directly through your body to your ears is nothing new—bone conduction technology has been around in some form or another for years. However, these headphones take it to a new level of ridiculousness, with some wonderful side effects. Hang the Outi ($110) like a pair of clip-on earrings, and the sound reverberates through your earlobes. Because the “headphones” rely on sending the sound through your cartilage—instead of blowing waves at your eardrums—it’s very difficult for you to unintentionally damage your hearing.

3D holograms enter the fourth dimension - tech - 03 November 2010
Video: Holograms go 4D Holography has just gained a fourth dimension, bringing the prospect of Star Wars-style holographic telepresence into the real world. Ever since Emmett Leith and Juris Upatnieks made the first laser holograms in 1963, holography has been the future of three-dimensional imaging. Once created, a hologram can be illuminated to create a pattern of light waves that replicates the light reflected by the original object, generating a 3D image without the need for special glasses. As such, holography seems an ideal medium for three-dimensional telepresence, like the famous "hologram" of Princess Leia in the first Star Wars movie.
Eun-Gyeong Gwon & Eun-Jae Lee & Yanko Design
This one’s kinda hard to swallow so take a deep breath, open your minds, and pretend it’s 2100. I CONTACT is essentially a mouse fitted to your eyeball. The lens is inserted like any other normal contact lens except it’s laced with sensors to track eye movement, relaying that position to a receiver connected to your computer. Theoretically that should give you full control over a mouse cursor.

Cut the Cable and Enjoy HDTV Anywhere
About a year ago, my wife and I sat down to work through our family finances. With a baby on the way,(and the parents amongst you will know how muchthey cost) it was an opportune time to figure out where we could save a little money each month. Going through the finances line by line was revealing – one of our major outgoings was our TV satellite service. I love sport and movies, so we had the full package from our provider, but when we talked about it, we were no longer watching as much TV as we used to – and the programmes we both loved were available free to air. So we took the decision to cut the cord, and swap our satellite service for Freeview (the UK’s free to air digital TV service).
