Who’s buying 3DTVs and 3D Blu-ray players? People who watched 3D movies in theaters, then want to re-live the experience at home. So why are the top movies, like Avatar and Coraline only available as bundles with hardware? What’s the deal? More »
You know that Verizon FiOS iPad app we spied back in August, the one that streamed TV and VOD content? Nope, still not here — check back 2011. Want to use your Apple slate as a giant remote for your (HD) set-top box, browsing TV / VOD listings and remotely programming DVRs? Set parental controls and bookmarks, even update your STB names? Look no further than the iTunes store; all it’s gonna cost you is 3MB of space.

At this point, we all have a serious question to ask: is there anything the Kinect can’t do? While Microsoft has managed to move quite a few of the camera-laden tubes, a good amount of ’em have been put to use in applications not named gaming. Take the Virtopsy Project, for instance. This particular setup uses the Kinect camera bar to control a PACS system (OsiriX, in this case), and it relies on software based on “ofxKinect, libfreenect and open frameworks.” That’s a lot of technobabble for sure, but as they say, the proof is in the YouTube video. Ever dreamed of swirling medical images around with hand gestures? Head on down and mash play — fantasyland awaits.

Laptops are pretty self-contained, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a whole lot of aftermarket accessories for them. We pick a few holiday highlights, from stands to wireless A/V add-ons.
I first met my terrible dust bunny, cowering under a soon-to-be replaced video card. It was 2003. Since then, he has puffed around in my periphery, a dusty daemon on my figurative shoulder. And in my literal apartments. More »
Say hello to the future of DVRs, at least from Comcast, as its as-yet unannounced Xfinity Spectrum box passed through the FCC’s database shortly after having its existence revealed by the Wall Street Journal. A quick peek at the production-ready manual reveals there’s plenty of new features here, including a new guide design including IMDB-style cast & crew info as well as access to internet services. While it’s hardware makes this Pace RNG-210n a 500GB HD DVR with four tuners, MoCA and IP access, one of the biggest changes is a software makeover means it pops up notifications prompted by your Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
Configurable at Xfinity.com/Spectrum, it looks like it will only pull in information when people you follow share pictures, video, or link to info about TV shows and movies, with “most” viewable right on the box itself, plus the option to share what you’re watching on those services. There’s less details available about that “apps” section of the menu but weather, traffic, music and games are promised, take a quick peek at the most interesting sections including a look at the guide, remote and box in our gallery or check out the FCC filings yourself for more details — it’s hard to tell if the changes will make all our issues with cable provided set tops go away, but pretty much any new guide has to be better than what’s there now, right?

Microsoft Word 2007 Tips: Part 3
So far in our mini series covering Microsoft Word 2007, we’ve offered tips and tricks to help you get the most from one of the most widely used programs. Last week we covered mail merges which can save you loads of time, and are easy to do. This week we’re going to take a look at some of the options that Word has built in for formating your photos and making them more lively in just a few clicks using Picture Styles.
Microsoft Word 2007 has made it easy for you to format your photos and make them look like you spent a lot of time adding effects. To make use of these features, you’ll want to start by inserting either a picture or clip art. You’ll do this by clicking on the “insert” tab, and then clicking either picture, or clip art, depending on what you want to work with.
Next, you’ll want to make sure that your picture is selected. If it’s selected, you’ll notice a “picture tools” tab at the top, and then you’ll click on format.
One thing that you will notice under the format tab is a “picture styles” section. You’ll want to click the arrow (circled above) to expand the list so that you can see all of the different options that you have for styling your pictures (pictured below).
By hovering your mouse over each of the different styles, you will see a live preview of how it will look on your picture before you actually click to apply it. When you find the style that you want, click on it, and it will apply it to your picture.
That’s all there is to it! On most computers, selecting a picture style will probably cause your computer to run slow. It’s definitely a work-out for your computer, so you may need to give it a few seconds. But be patient, it’ll be worth it.
The examples above only took less than a minute for each one. It’s the easiest way I’ve found yet for adding something extra to your photos before you post them on the Internet, or send them off to family and friends.
