AR.Pursuit augmented reality shooter app for AR.Drone now available on iTunes

Do you really need another reason to lust after the AR.Drone? Ok, then how about AR.Pursuit, Parrot’s new multiplayer augmented reality game and the first developed for the AR.Drone? It just hit the iTunes App Store for $2.99. Sure, it’s a few days late, but you can use that pent-up angst to pursue and destroy the AR.Drones operated by your family and friends, just as the baby Jesus intended this holiday season.

Sonos job opening signals entry into wireless home theater audio?

Well now Sonos, what’s this? A job opening for a Senior Product Manager to help the company “re-invent home theater sound for the digital age.” More specifically, the position will be responsible for leading “new product creation teams.” Hard to say for sure, but sophisticated wireless audio for home theaters certainly sounds like a safe refuge now that Marantz, Denon, JBL, iHome, B&W, and countless others will soon be competing with Sonos’ whole-home distributed audio solutions just as soon as Apple’s new AirPlay technology can gain traction. Besides, just picture a fully synchronized wireless 7.1 channel surround speaker system that requires just a few minutes to setup and works as robustly as Sonos’ other streaming audio gear. We imagine that it wouldn’t take too many tweaks to Sonos’ existing software and hardware (you can already convert two S5 all-in-one speakers into a more powerful stereo pair) to pull it off. And anyone who’s ever tried to cleanly wire a home theater for multichannel sound will surely understand why the prospects of going wireless have us more than a little intrigued.

Icon Notebook: textual communication avenue for the Microsoft Word averse

It looks like a document. It’s chock-full of documents. But not Microsoft Word documents. Only documents that could dream of one day being scanned in and converted to a Word document. It’s the Icon Notebook, brought to you by the brilliant minds at Brigada Creativa, and it’s on sale now for €6.95 ($9.34) direct from Spain. Which is a whole lot cheaper than a Word license, no matter the font you’re talking in.

Eizo’s DuraVision LCD does glasses-free 3D at 1080p, is totally bezelriffic

Eizo's DuraVision LCD does glasses-free 3D at 1080p, is totally bezelriffic

Looking like something that escaped from the bridge of the U.S.S. Palomino is Eizo‘s DuraVision FDF2301-3D, a dark, menacing visage containing a 23-inch LCD. It sports a full HD resolution and can display content in 3D, but its real trick is that it can do so without glasses. Yes, deep within that dark and angular exterior is the necessary set of hardware to ensure that two eyes see two separate images, supposedly without any of the weirdness we’ve seen with other glasses-free displays. The penalty is of course its imposing bulk and what will surely be an imposing price. No cost has been set, but indications are that it will cost many thousands of dollars — not that it’ll ever hit retail.

Download Windows Live Apps Early

This article was written on November 06, 2007 by CyberNet.

Windows Live Installer In about 11 hours Microsoft will be launching their Windows Live Wave 2, which is a collection of applications offered at no cost. You can download the new installer now even though the “wave” of updated programs won’t be released until later today.

There has been no mention of new features for the programs included with Windows Live Wave 2, but most of the apps have new version numbers indicating that they must at least include bug fixes. All of the programs have also had the Beta tag removed. Here is a list of the apps you’ll be able to install:

  • Windows Live Messenger – chat with your friends
  • Windows Live Writer – write blog posts
  • Windows Live Photo Gallery – manage your photos
  • Windows Live Mail – check your email
  • Windows Live Toolbar – search the Internet
  • Windows Live Family Safety – control what your kids look at

One of the changes users have been noticing is that the programs finally support 64-bit Windows! This was a long time coming, and it was a big point of criticism when Microsoft released their last Beta. The installer is still a bit slow, which is a big disappointment (took me 20 minutes to update my 3 programs).

I highly recommend the Windows Live Photo Gallery, which I’ve been using a lot lately to manage my photos. It has a slick interface that almost everyone will find intuitive. Oh, and the built-in Flickr uploader is an awesome tool for the Flickr users out there.

‘The Collective’ steampunk USB drive is the stocking stuffer Jules Verne always wanted

Miffed you didn’t buy that $300 8GB steampunk USB drive we shared over the summer? Well, the good news is if you’ve got $395 worth of shillings lying around, Will Rockwell’s 16GB steampunk USB drive christened “The Collective” is yours for the taking. Besides its J.J. Abrams-like name, particularly cool details to highlight include a brass manifold featuring four coolant pipes, a large framed cabochon which acts as a service light, and a faux-gauge made from a domed cover and watch hand. A storage tank serves as a cap for the drive and there’s even a tiny plaque bearing Mr. Rockwell’s engraved John Hancock placed smack dab in the middle. Last but certainly not least, the elaborate thumbdrive ships with a velvet platform and a glass museum case, so that all who visit may bask in its craftsmanship and finally see the rusted version owned by that Victorian-poser down the block as the tetanus carrier it really is.

Sanyo Pedal Juice battery pack powers your wah-wah without distortion

Sanyo Pedal Juice battery pack powers your wah-wah without distortion

A good roadie can be identified by two things: a wardrobe composed entirely of darks and bulging pockets full of batteries. Sanyo would like to let those tireless workers downsize to some slimmer black jeans with its new Pedal Juice battery pack, which is rocking a little Eneloop technology inside and can power a whole slew of daisy-chained devices. Charge it up for 3.5 hours and it’ll provide 9V DC of output to whatever you like, powering a 10mA effects pedal for a whopping 50 hours. That’s about 10 times longer than a simple 9V battery and, unlike one of those, the Pedal Juice will provide a constant 9V right up until it’s dead. It even promises less electrical interference than using an AC adapter. All that for $149.99, which may sound like a lot for a battery pack, and it is, but real musicians know that success doesn’t come cheap.

Delta expands WiFi access to select regional jets

Good news, frequent (and not so frequent) fliers. In addition to offering free Goggle-sponsored WiFi on its long-range flights this holiday season, Delta has announced plans to expand Gogo internet access to many of its regional jets, beginning in January. The company says that it should have this next wave of upgrades done by the end of 2011. This will definitely come as a relief to those of us who will be enjoying hours-long “regional” flights in the new year, either on Delta planes or those of its regional partners (including Shuttle America, Comair, and Atlantic Southeast). The expansion will apply only to aircraft with a first class cabin — you know, the spacious compartment you pass through before being herded into the back with the rest of us schlubs.
