Hasta La Gadget!

It looks like the Hulu overlords have finally seen the light, because Hulu Plus is coming to the living room in a big way — in addition to the cheap’n’easy Roku players, the service will hit TiVo Premiere DVRs sometime “in the coming months.” It’s a little stranger to pay $9.95 a month for streaming TV on your DVR, which is presumably plugged into a cable subscription and a TiVo service subscription, but hey — whatever floats your boat, Captain Moneybags. Full PR after the break.

Oh boy, here we go: Hulu Plus is coming to Roku’s lineup of players, which now starts at $59 and goes up to $99 for the Roku XDS we just reviewed highly. That certainly makes the Roku / Apple TV comparison far more interesting — ten 99-cent Apple TV rentals or the $10 Hulu Plus monthly subscription fee? — and depending on what you watch, it could make cutting your cable subscription a no-brainer. We don’t know about resolution or bitrate yet, but we’re working to find out — and we’re definitely looking to get some hands-on time before the channel goes live this fall, so stay tuned. PR after the break.

pa href=”http://coedmagazine.com/”COED Magazine/a produces sexy (but SFW!) content that makes a perfect match for CNET’s The 404 Podcast, so we’re excited to have Editor-in-Chief Stephen Gebhardt in the guest chair today to chat about the genesis of COED Mag, a scourge of suggestive Katy Perry GIFs, 15 signs you’re an Internet weirdo, and “Back to the Future” returning to movie theaters! As you might’ve guessed, Wilson spends the entire episode shaking his head and fielding calls from the FCC./p

pa href=”http://coedmagazine.com/”COED Magazine/a is a comprehensive Web publication that caters to a lot of different interests like MMA, sports, tech news, and media, but you can guess the main focus of a Web site with “COED” in the name (queue Wilson scrambling to remove screenshots from the video recording)./p

pStephen tells us that Katy Perry is driving a ton of traffic to the site, thanks to her appearance on SNL and her cleavage-filled appearance on “Sesame Street.” To cash in on her fame, COED presents the a href=”http://coedmagazine.com/2010/09/27/the-15-most-sexually-suggestive-katy-perry-animated-gifs/”15 most suggestive Katy Perry animated GIFs/a. If you’re like us, these are sure to end your workday productivity, so don’t say we didn’t warn you./p

pWe also enjoyed this article on the a href=”http://coedmagazine.com/2010/09/28/15-signs-you%E2%80%99re-an-internet-weirdo/”15 signs you’re an Internet weirdo/a, but mostly because almost all of them apply to The 404 in one host or another. For example, i#10: You can’t go five minutes without checking your e-mail/i obviously applies to Wilson, while i#1 You play games more hours per week than you work at an actual job/i sounds like Jeff, and me? Well, it might be easier to read the list and guess which bdon’t/b sound like something I’d do in the privacy of my own browser./p

pThere’s plenty more fun on today’s episode with a href=”http://twitter.com/coedmagsg”Stephen Gebhardt/a, including a list of a href=”http://coedmagazine.com/2010/08/16/10-movies-about-video-games-that-dont-suck/”10 movies about video games that don’t suck/a and some news about “Back to the Future,” so enjoy the episode and follow along at a href=”http://coedmagazine.com/”COED Magazine/a!

This morning, Logitech unveiled a headset with the ability to wirelessly stream up to three sources.

A new design concept from Bike Arc tries to solve two problems at once, by keeping your electric car both safe and fully charged.

Dubbed the Car Arc, the design consists of a series of curved tubes and a polycarbonate roof. But covering that roof is a thin solar panel that spends all day absorbing the sun’s energy so that it can then be used to keep your car–or even, the company suggests, electric bicycles–charged and ready to go. The company has also designed a fairly wide range of additional products in the “arc” line, including the Bus Arc, which features a similar design but can utilize its solar energy to charge your gadgets while you wait for the bus.
