Tesla Model S takes off its clothes, shows us its motor
Posted in: electric vehicle, ElectricVehicle, ev, feature, Features, tesla, Today's Chili
Oh, wow. Are you sure we’re ready for this, Tesla? I mean, just last week you wouldn’t even let us sit inside your Model S prototype and now… this. You sure we’re not moving too fast? A fully naked Model S is on display at the company’s booth, bare frame and bare aluminum separated by a Lucite riser, giving us a glimpse at the car’s motor nestled between the rear wheels. Take a look at it, barely bigger than the exhaust of a modern musclecar yet powering this thing to 60mph in 5.7 seconds and up to an anticipated maximum 300 mile range. Unfortunately the tangle of wires and other components that’ll actually make this thing go are missing, and the paint, but it’s still a great view at the simple, obviously Elise-inspired frame that holds it all together.

CyberNet News Has Your Fuser Registration Code
Posted in: CyberNotes, Email, Today's Chili, Web SitesThis article was written on September 01, 2007 by CyberNet.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could manage all your emails from your different email accounts AND all of your messages from social networks in one location? Well, now you can. Compatible with email services like AOL, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, and more, and Social Networks like Facebook and MySpace, a new service called Fuser unifies all of your inboxes into one that’s easy and convenient to access. Setting up an account is a quick and easy process, and you can register for as many email and social network accounts that you’d like, all for free!
How does Fuser work?
Fuser relies heavily on Java to work its magic. After entering in your login name and password for email accounts and social networks, Fuser will go retrieve all of your messages and consolidate them into one list. If you don’t want all of your message in one list, you can select which accounts you’d like to see. For example, I selected “All Accounts Off” in my Fuser Inbox so that I could view the messages for each account separately. It’s definitely one of the easiest ways I know of to unify mail from multiple accounts into one online location, and the only solution I know of that also incorporates messages from social networks.
The image below shows what the “Home” page looks like when you login to Fuser. Under the “Mail” section, you’ll see how many new and unread messages you have since your last logout, and the total number of unread messages. In the “Social Networks” section, you’ll see most recent comments, and a list of those who leave you comments the most in the “Leaderboard Spotlight.”
Features
- Spellchecker for email
- Support of accounts using POP3 and IMAP
- Auto-complete email addressing based upon your contacts
- Option to create folders to organize your messages
- Layered folder structure
- Log into multiple compose windows at once
- Single login for all accounts
- Choose which account you’re sending mail from
- Receive mail in one account and reply to it from another
Social Network incorporation
This is one of the truly unique features with Fuser because it can go and retrieve my Wall messages from Facebook, and bulletins and messages from my MySpace account. What’s even more impressive is that you’re able to reply to these messages right from Fuser.
Things to keep in mind…
One think to keep in mind before you go to Fuser is that you should log out of any of your webmail accounts. They’ll remind you of this to ensure that you won’t get locked out of your mail account. They probably recommend this because if you’re logging in from multiple locations simultaneously, your mail service would probably get suspicious and lock you out of your account for security purposes.
When I first started using Fuser, one of the things that was really helpful was all of their tours. There is one main tour, and a couple mini tours which are very helpful. I recommend you take advantage of them.
As with any service, I often look for their method of monetization. In this case, Fuser users Google ads, but they’re off to the side and unobtrusive. I hadn’t even noticed them until I actually looked for how they were monetizing the service, which is nice.
Another important thing to keep in mind is that Fuser isn’t intended to be used as a backup service for your email. If you delete a message in your Gmail inbox, for example, it will get deleted at Fuser as well.
Want to register?
Right now, Fuser is in a private beta stage. They expect to offer a public beta within a month, however you won’t have to wait! We’ve gotten permission from Fuser to provide you with a code to access their private beta.
All you have to do is go to www.fuser.com and click “Register.” The registration code that you’ll need is FickleMonkey.
Thanks Fuser team!
Wrapping it up
My only complaint is that they don’t offer support for Opera, but I’m sure it’s something they could ad in the future. They also plan on incorporating other online communications in the future as well. Another minor complaint is that the text, by default, appears small and almost hard to read.
Overall, in the short time I’ve been using Fuser, I’ve found it to be an amazing service that I’ll likely continue to use. It’s so nice to have all of my messages in one location from both different email addresses, and the two social networks I frequent the most.
Give Fuser a try with the registration code above, and let us know what you think!

iTunes celebrates its 10th birthday, still takes too long to sync your iPhone
Posted in: Apple, itunes, Software, Today's Chili, video
If you’ve managed to use any piece of technology for ten years, it’s safe to say that said piece has some serious lasting power in an era filled with flavors-of-the-week. It’s a bit startling to think that Apple’s iTunes has now fallen into that category, but sure enough, the music-turned-media-application is now a decade old. Fittingly enough, it just hit version 10.0 a few months ago, and it may very well be tweaked to play nice with an all new device later this week. Head on past the break for a look at the very first iTunes introduction at Macworld 2001, and then think about how many times you’ve hated your life as you watched that sync progress bar crawl along at glacial speeds. No, seriously, think about it.

As predicted, 2011 was there year of the tablet at CES. So, so many tablets. Just a staggeringly huge, ungodly number of tablets. Just before the show officially started on Thursday, the Consumer Electronics Association, the organization behind the show, issued a release stating that some 80 tablets were set to be launched at the show. Having walked the floor of the entire thing over the past few days, I think it’s safe to say that the association was low balling that number.
After 2010 proved a giant year for Apple’s iPad (becoming, really, the first hugely commercially successful consumer tablet), a number of high profile companies rushed to provide an competitor. Here at Gearlog, we’ve already shown you new tablets from Samsung, RIM (BlackBerry), Motorola, ASUS, Lenovo, MSI, Creative, Coby, Toshiba, E Fun, AHX, a gaming tablet from Cosmos, a baby tablet by Rullingnet, Motion Computing, and a dual-boot device from a company called Azpen.
But believe it or not, that’s only the tip of the iceberg. I saw so many more tablets in Vegas last week, that it’s frankly a bit impossible to keep track of them all. In fact, there are too many to fit into a single post. After the jump, you’ll find a huge cross section of the tablets I saw–not all of the, however. After all, many of them really looked identical to the iPad–particularly in the International Hall. I suppose there’s only so much companies can do with a slate form factor.
That said, there are still plenty of interesting entries after the jump.

Enspert Identity Tab E301 and E201 hands-on preview
Posted in: froyo, hands-on, impressions, preview, tablet, tablet pc, TabletPc, tablets, Today's Chili, wifi
Android tablets aren’t exactly in short supply at CES 2011, but the Enspert Identity Tab stands out — despite hailing from a manufacturer we’d never heard of before the show. Enspert’s got two slick 7-inch slates on the floor, and while the E201 mostly cribs from Samsung’s WiFi-only Galaxy Tab — right down to a 1GHz Samsung Hummingbird chip — the flagship Enspert E301 pumps up the pixel density with a 1024 x 600 capacitive touchscreen, adds an all-metal case, a mobile DTV antenna, and 3G connectivity. We poked and prodded these tablets all over and got a peek at the full spec sheets, so after you peruse our gallery below, hit the break for details!

QNX Car concept with PlayBook integration hands-on (video)
Posted in: bluetooth, feature, Features, hands-on, playbook, RIM, Today's Chili, video
Okay, we’ve seen an iPad on a dashboard. Ready for some in-car PlayBook action? Recent RIM acquisition QNX is all over it, showing off what it calls simply QNX Car. It’s a basic reference implementation of some technology that will be running the infotainment systems of cars in the coming years — though they’ll surely look very different than this by then. QNX is showing how it can pull media from multiple sources, like an iPhone, use Message Access Protocol Bluetooth to pull data from a BlackBerry, and even use Terminal Mode to replicate the UI of something like the PlayBook. Plus, the PlayBook was able to change climate control settings in the car.
The company is also working on what it’s called the Simple UI Protocol. It’s basically a lowest-common-denominator smartphone integration — something like Ford’s AppLink that, in theory, will work regardless of the app or the hardware on the car. It’s very limited, allowing just two lines of text and a few icons to be sent from the phone to the car, and just two buttons (left and right) to be sent back to the phone as controls. The idea is to remove any aspect of driver distraction and to provide AppLink-like functionality in a standard, non OEM-specific way, which we like. But, it’s so limited in scope we’re not sure just how useful it would be. See for yourself after the break.
