3DTV: A New Challenger Appears?

3DTV: A New Challenger Appears?

Ever heard of StreamTV? Neither have I. But apparently, unbeknown to you, I, or the rest of the Internet, they’re the leaders in 3DTV technology. Right now on Amazon, you can pre-order StreamTV’s two offerings (though I only suggest pre-ordering one of them… they’re pretty wallet-killing). The first, ‘Stream TV 37-Inch 3D TV with Super BluRay Player, Black’, is four thousand dollars, and touts the following: 37-Inch 3D TV viewing without glasses. Builtin browser, Entertainment Portal, Video conferencing, over 500 FREE Live TV Channels, Download and Stream, 500 GB HDD, 3D Gaming, Software…

Sony PS3 3.21 Update Crippling

Sony PS3 3.21 Update Crippling 'Other' OS Installs?

The Sony PS3 is highly regarded in the gaming world. Heck, it is even looked upon favorably by the U.S. Military as a number-crunching beast. But it is also innovative in that it allows other operating systems like Linux to be installed. Unfortunately, Sony has decided to kill off that feature for the sake of security. You’d think that Sony would realize that if a user was willing to go as far as to install a Linux operating system on their PS3 that they would be well aware that things could go wrong — system security could be compromised. After all, any script kiddy could hack into any one of Sony’s laptops…

This Sony Concept Lets Your Booty Feel The Beat

This Sony Concept Lets Your Booty Feel The Beat

We’ve all heard of the hand massage, but what about the sound massage? Perhaps that idea won’t be so foreign after feasting your eyes on the Sony Sound Lounge, a concept design by Sharifah Nasser. Nasser has created something that looks futuristic, classic, and eloquent all at the same time — it is a coffee table with a sound system built right in, and anyone who loves music has to at least wonder what this thing would be like in person. Now it is true that seeing this thing in a home might be a tad bit awkward, but the thought of the Sony Sound Lounge in a recording studio or high-class office building…

Apple iPhone Slaps Down Sony PSP in US Gaming - Report

Apple iPhone Slaps Down Sony PSP in US Gaming - Report

Like a tech industry Tekken, Apple is clashing with almost everyone these days, from Google to Microsoft to Amazon and beyond. Now Sony feels the force as iPhone grabs the handheld gaming market. Flurry Analytics says Apple’s surpassed Sony PSP game revenue in the US, estimating the iPhone has seized 5 per cent of the lucrative $10 billion US games industry. That’s up from $115 million in 2008 – near 400 per cent growth. With over 30,000 games available at the App Store and the upcoming release of the much-anticipated iPad, Apple’s set to continue grabbing share in the games market, the researchers…

Google Poised to Invade Yet Another Market: Your Living Room

Google Poised to Invade Yet Another Market: Your Living Room

Nobody has their hands in as many industries as Google. Nobody. As early as this summer, we may begin to see GoogleTV – the internet TV joint venture between Google, Sony and Intel – taking over our living rooms. The service would allow internet streaming content to be broadcast on your TV as easily as you can change channels. But that’s obvious. With a set-top box being provided by Sony, a chip by Intel, and Googlemancy by Google, the affair would seem to raise an odd question for the search giant: why so hardware-serious? With Google’s legendary penchant for web-based everything, the answer is almost…

Google, Intel and Sony Team Up for GoogleTV

Google, Intel and Sony Team Up for GoogleTV

Where Microsoft and Apple have failed, Google, those arrogant so-and-so’s, think they can succeed. Today, the New York Times reported the massive search company is teaming up with both Intel and Sony to produce technology to take control of your living room. Details are sketchy so far, and no-one quite knows if ‘GoogleTV’, as the project has been dubbed, will be comprised of a set-top box, a open software platform or something else….
