Wow.. That's almost scary .. the future is now! god I miss my Coleco-vision Space Invaders game.

Very nice, I want it!!

nice, its like from Minority Report movie, but it is real
I like copying between devices, also GoogleEarth is nice.

I like the tochscreen computer.. .Really amazing,the computer looks like a toy.

omg I just had back-to-back geekasms

When I saw the first news articles about this thing, I though the only innovation in it was the big multitouch screen. (which would make it nothing more than an oversized tablet) but the idea of wirelessly autosyncing device just by putting them on the screen is nice.
One point though: How many of you would place a drink on a 10000$ computer screen?
P.S.
Mike: Now that VJ seems to have droped out of site (for the past few month) its nice to have someone keep up with "FunnyPic"(TM) replies.

Lol, when it comes to geek/real life cross overs, this one always makes me chuckle, and also, a little nervous (I have venustraphobia).

I think what's most interesting about this device is the department that made it, the same that makes gadgets and Zune. But consider: Scoble saw this two years ago. Think what they're upto now? It took them 2 years to fix the SMS counter on MS Smartphones, so maybe they've finally got SMS <> Outlook syncing working now!
@levenum: I've been working (Law, not phones ) for a while, apologies for my hypospermia. But, I have been coding too, and boy it felt good! Lots of new stuff coming out, eventually...
Missed you guys,

PS I wrote a multi touch interface once, on a small screen. But on 2.8 inches there's not much it's good for IMHO. Any thoughts?

Well, it they're $5000-$10,000 initially by the end of '07, that should make 'em affordable to the rest of us in 3-5 years. Now if it will just MIX the drink AND serve it.....

holy..balls that is sweet

Working For Sling Media

I just wanted to come gush about my new job. I am working at Sling Media, makers of the sling box as a regional sales rep.
WOOO HOOO

Excellent news! Mazel tov!
If Sling wants some even more free promotion or just feeling generous, I'd love to give a Slingbox a go. Santa thought I'd been a bad boy last year, for some reason

Good for you!
Hey, what would be the minimum requirements (data connection speedwise) at home and away from home to make the sling box be efficient?

Luiggi,
I would recommend an upspeed at home of at least 200 and a dl of the same. But the better up you have the better video quality, this is the most limiting factor as your DL speed will usually be quicker. That the beauty of their player as it optimizes based on your speed.
Vijay....
I will see what the url to your website or blog?
PM me

Thanks for the scoop!

Thanks for the response slimsaturn, buying one PRO right now and possible more for business down here.

Slingbox could really advertise differently and reach a much larger market. Aside from using it to watch TIVO, we use it for a security device. I watch it on my AT&T 8525. The picture is awesome, very clear.
The Composite is TIVO and the S-Video is hooked up to a multiplexer with 4 video cameras that are recorded to a hard drive. I can tune in to TIVO or what's going on at home anytime.
Our 2nd Slingbox Pro is hooked up to a TIVO and a VCR that controls 2 indoor cameras. We can check on our little dog or the kids while we're at work.
Anyway, when I'm in a store and I see people in the security aisle, I can't help but show them our set-up on my phone. The reactions that I get are awesome!
Congratulations! LOVE the Sling, TIVO too!

if i wasnt trying to save money for college i would already have a slingbox. the possibilities of that thing amaze me.

Headphone conspiracy

I believe there's a conspiracy how headphones break in a month or sooner. I think it's a market conspiracy that companies use so, the consumer doesn't stop with one headphone, but keeps buying more and more.
what you guys think?, am I high on something

Don't kick it 'till you try it.

I've had the same pair of Phillips Headphones since 2004... they cost £18... What are you all doing to your headphones to destroy them!?!?

I use the headphones that usualy came with the phones. Never broked one, butI do change phone a bit...
That said, I have the same Panasonic headphones for 20+ years, that I use when at home, for better quality.

I still have a working pair that came with the original game boy, plus a Moto s9 BT headset i had for about a year now, psp headphones I had since 07 i think, HTC headphones that came with my Dash (they even survived the washer & dryer), some great sounding sony headphones i bought from radioshack about 2 years ago, but the only ones that fell apart were some dj style Craig brand chepos from kmart.

wow, I'm cursed with headphones. I remember buying apple headphones for like 50 bucks (what a rip off), they didn't even last an year...

v-moda earplugs for the win!

I't got some noise but that'll be because it's dark and the light on the car (i think) is your phone/camera flash

OMG who in the world could use a blue steering wheel? I wanna kill myself..
Is it the backwards cetv?

Hahahaha LOL

It's consuming a hell of server space...I can assure that..rather than that, I don't see anything wrong additionally from what chopper is mentioning.

You know I was thinking also, the guy that drives this vehicle really loves looking at himself in a mirror.
So while he is driving he can check himself out in the reflection of storefronts and be reminded of what kind of car he is driving.
Now thats pimp....
good day.

is should be v-tec

vtec is the wrong way around!
that and the god aweful ricer looking modifications
poor honda has been raped

Lol. I can imagine why he did that...now then, its gonna transfer from this piece of paper to my car...so if its backwards it will be right when its stuck on...oh **** I haven't got any spares...yeah I did it purpose cuz it looks original!
This is what I just drove past at my local tesco. Poor Guy. I wish I had the patience to wait and see the look on his face when he gets back to his car.

That would either end in a crap load of laughs or someone getting punched, hard.

Pillow talk, anyone?

To my surprise, I've gotten used to snuggling up with my Nexus 7 instead of a book to wind down at night. Currently in middle of Season Three (I think) of Northern Exposure. It works quite well to defuse stress.
My problem is that I need something to prop up the tablet. I've tried to prop it on some cushions with other cushions or a book to hold it in place, but it slips down constantly. I have an easel-style stand, and one of the Poetic cases that sort of folds into a stand (but doesn't stay put), but what I really need is a pillow. I even went to try the one being hawked on TV at the moment (the "GoGo Pillow"), and the design would work, but it's too big for the 7" Nexus and not adjustable. I've seen some similar designs, some of which clearly won't accommodate a 7" tablet but others that look like they'd work.
The most promising looks to be the Lap Pro on Amazon, but I'd love to hear a personal recommendation if anyone's tried one of these or a similar product.
Does anyone have a solution that works for this very first-world problem? Next up, why does Whole Foods leave the feta in the salad bar in such big unmanageable chunks? :laugh:

Wasn't entirely sure how you have your tablet from what I read.
Do you prefer to watch it while lying down? On your side? On your stomach?
Or do you sit while you doze off? Personally I have this case (rooCASE Multi-Angle) which would be helpful if you have it laying next to you on your side. In addition, I love it when you are working on a desk, as it gives you that angled look without having to hold it up. Not only that, it's pretty thick, and I carry various stuff like the crazy college kid I am, but know the tablet can take a beating and a good dropping while in my book bag.
I know it's out of stock but there are many cases like it. I think you can find a very similar one made by poetic.
Hope this helps out. :fingers-crossed:

I found this on google, I thought it might be interesting!
https://www.google.com/search?q=tab...P_qQGLvIDoBw&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1440&bih=785

Something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal...let_Mounts_Stands_Holders&hash=item2587de5534
I have a couple of these, one at work and one at home, fits the N7 perfectly and the angle is completely adjustable.

This is useful
Thanks for sharing this / Thought it is a simple search in google / It made me to understand what a Pillow Talk is
