A man was recently arrested for trying to rob a convenience store with the use of a Sony PlayStation controller. He had kept it in his pocket, pretending that it was a gun while attempting to rob the store. Unfortunately for him, there was a police officer who walked into the store in the middle of the robbery. Apparently the policeman was tipped off about the robber’s presence, and the robber was a man the policeman was looking for.

7.1ch surround sound

Sony has just announced the introduction of their new MDR-DS6500 digital surround headphones. Aimed at the audiophile looking for the ultimate audio immersive experience who doesn’t want to spend so much money decking out their living rooms with seven different speakers, the MDR-DS6500 sure feels like the perfect solution.
The headphones provide a virtual 7.1 channel surround system to your ears so you can enjoy all your HD movies and games with the audio quality they deserve. In addition to supporting content that’s made for 7.1 channel surround, these headphones can take stereo 2ch or 5.1 channel content and build a virtual 7.1 channel soundstage so the headphones don’t go to waste. And the best part about the headphones? They’re completely wireless, so you don’t have to deal with the hassles of managing cables, and you’ll be able to sit on any seat in your living room to experience the same sound quality. The MDR-DS6500 also comes with a wireless charging dock that gives the headphones 20 hours of usage after a single 3 hour charge.
No word on how much the MDR-DS6500 will cost, but it will be available from Sony starting next month.

According to the folks over at Photo Rumors Samsung will be announcing a brand new sporty video camera sometime in the next few days. Called the Samsung W200, the pocket-sized video camera is touted to be shockproof, waterproof and will be able to record full HD videos (1080p) as well as snap photographs with its 5 megapixel camera. The compact sized camera looks like it can take a beating, and its waterproof capabilities mean that it could be the perfect companion for documenting your grueling jungle trekking trips or for a fun day at the water park, though you’ll probably need to attach a strap of some sort to keep it with you at all times. No word on release date or pricing, but expect to find out soon enough.

Change logs have the tendency to miss out the inclusion of certain features, Windows Phone 7′s NoDo update is no exception. We all know that it brings copy/paste, improved multitasking and Marketplace search improvements, but there are a number of features that aren’t officially made known and discovered by users of the phones themselves. According to the folks over at WMPowerUser, here are the features that NoDo brings to the table but weren’t listed:

Google has just announced the launch of the latest version of the Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer. Google Toolbar 7 allows users to experience Google Instant in a whole new way with the web browser with Toolbar Instant. When typing in a search entry, the current tab will automatically load up Google with the search results that update as soon as you type, saving you even more clicks than you needed to do before. Once you’ve found what you were looking for, you can open the result in the new tab while in the current tab; hitting back on your browser will instantly dismiss the Google search results and take you back to where you were. Hitting the escape key in the midst of a search does the same thing as well.

post from Ubergizmo on 19 April 2011 08:45:52 PM. © Ubergizmo
With the introduction of Intel’s latest Sandy Bridge processors, it’s a no brainer to assume that laptops will be getting upgrades to the new processors as well, especially popular models like ASUS’s bamboo laptop. The U43SD laptop has been refreshed with brand new processors and some minor updates.
The U43SD now packs a larger 14″ screen, the latest Core i3 and Core i5 processors, an NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M graphics card (1GB), 5,400RPM and 7,200RPM hard drive options and a six or eight-cell battery. Other than that, not much has changed, and let’s not forget about the sleek bamboo material used to furnish parts of the laptop.
ASUS has also introduced the U41SV which has the same configuration as the U43SD, except that it comes in a plain shell instead of the lustrous bamboo used in the U43SD. No word on pricing or availability yet, but expect an official announcement soon, since the tablets have already been photographed like they’re ready to go on sale. Head over to the official ASUS website to find out more about the U43SD and the U41SV.

post from Benchmark Reviews: Performance Computer Hardware Tests on 19 April 2011 08:07:16 PM. © Benchmark Reviews: Performance Computer Hardware Tests
Rules change and we need to be at the top of the technology to understand how new architectures work with our new components. Overclocking is a sport which has passed lots of different generations (people and platforms) and from time to time, the way you do it changes a lot. At Benchmark Reviews we put all our effort to bring you reviews and articles covering most of the new products as they arrive to the market, but we also focus a lot on enthusiasts who want to get the best out of their hardware without paying extra money; obviously by overclocking their PC components. With the launch of the new Sandy Bridge processors we feel the necessity to prepare an Overclocking analysis mainly because Intel completely changed the rules. Overclocking is now 99% limited to unlocked processors, and to mid-high platforms, while low-mid platforms and non-unlocked processors can't simply be overclocked more than some extra MHz. Follow us while we put into test both the Core i5 2500K and the Core i7 2600K paired with the P67 Express platform and discover how they work against voltage, heat and power consumption.

post from Ubergizmo on 19 April 2011 07:26:39 PM. © Ubergizmo
The PlayBook only went on sale earlier today, but the folks over at iFixit wasted no time in getting their hands on one and having a go at disassembling the QNX tablet from RIM. While there’s nothing extremely interesting about this tablet’s innards, iFixit have noted that it was relatively easy to take apart, and the LCD isn’t fused to the glass, so a cracked screen doesn’t mean an expensive replacement, which should be good news for folks who are careless with their gadgets.
The tablet contains the usual assortment of parts ? radio, camera, gyroscope, accelerometer, battery, two microphones (probably for noise reduction). Some interesting things they noticed was that the front camera, rear camera and top control buttons are all attached as one assembly ? replacement of broken power or volume buttons are going to be very costly. And also, the battery is glued to the mid-plane assembly, so removal of the motherboard is necessary if you’d like to change the PlayBook’s battery yourself.
If you’ve always been curious about what goes on inside the tablet but you’re afraid to take it apart yourself, you can head over to iFixit to read the full teardown guide yourself. And make sure you really know what you’re doing if you plan on taking the tablet apart.

post from Ubergizmo on 19 April 2011 07:05:32 PM. © Ubergizmo
If you’re a webmaster who cares about Search Engines, you have heard about the Google “Panda” Update. Here’s what the update was about, in Google’s own terms:
“Google depends on the high-quality content created by wonderful websites around the world, and we do have a responsibility to encourage a healthy web ecosystem. Therefore, it is important for high-quality sites to be rewarded, and that?s exactly what this change does.” (Google)
As usual, with each update, some sites go up, and some go down. There is usually an uproar in the various webmaster forums as well. Traffic fluctuates, and we usually don’t pay too much attention to this. However, for the first time in our 5 years as a web publisher, we have noticed some very bizarre behaviors that other site owners should look into.
