Mushroom TelePorter does HD streaming over cellular, won’t beam your on-air talent anywhere
Posted in: streaming, Today's Chili
If you need to be live and on the scene but can’t be followed around with a remote truck and its retractable 100-foot antenna, you need a TelePorter. The camel-case ‘P’ should tell you that this is not the final realization of Gene Roddenberry’s dream, rather a device created by Mushroom Networks, long known for products with goofy names like the PortaBella, which aggregates the bandwidth from multiple wireless modems to make one super mobile hotspot. The TelePorter basically takes that tech and adds some video wizardry to it, plus packaging that enables it to be mounted to the back of a camera. The result is live, full-HD streaming of footage straight from the camera and into the ether. Mushroom wouldn’t tell us a price, saying that it varies based on configuration, but unless your camera’s as big as the one pictured after the break we’re thinking this might just put a real hurting on your budget.

Rejoice, Photoshop junkies of the world, because Adobe is jumping into the tablet world for real. And while this is not Photoshop for iPad (yet), my most precious body appendage is tingling with pleasant turgidity anyway. More »

Game Boy makes music of a different sort (video)
Posted in: audio, Music, Retro, Today's Chili, video
Don’t get us wrong, we know that Nintendo’s original 8-bit portable can create some killer sounds — we’d never sell chiptunes short. That said, you haven’t truly heard Game Boy music until you watch the video above.

Alt-Tab Replacement Optimized for the Mouse
Posted in: Freeware, Screenshots, Software, Today's ChiliThis article was written on June 17, 2008 by CyberNet.
Windows only 
Being able to use Alt-Tab (or Command-Tab on Mac) to switch between running applications is something that I don’t think can ever be replaced. It’s just so simple and fast that it’s pretty hard to beat… unless you’re the type of person who keeps one hand on the keyboard and one hand on the mouse. If that sounds like you then maybe you should checkout the tiny application called AltTab Fingertips.
AltTab Fingertips requires no installation and is completely portable. When it’s running you can press the F10 key to initiate a popup menu similar to the one shown in the screenshot above. It will list out all of the open windows, and selecting one will switch over to that particular application. The thing that makes this really nice is that the menu always appears in the spot where your mouse is currently located, meaning you won’t have to shift your focus (or mouse) to a different part of the screen to switch between windows.
To make this a little nicer the developer has made it possible to change the keyboard shortcut that displays the menu, and you can also exclude specific applications from appearing in the list. These two things can both be configured from the System Tray icon.
I think the only thing this is missing would be displaying the icons for each of the different applications in the menu. That’s something many people use for quick identification, and it would help make this a must-have app for any Alt-Tab user.

Vulkano Flow now available, does 480p placeshifting for under a hundred bucks
Posted in: sd, Today's Chili
Monsoon has announced the “general availability” of a new placeshifting box, the Vulkano Flow. As we learned during CES, this box has a $99 price tag and trims last year’s Vulkano to just the placeshifting essentials. It’s most similar to the Slingbox Solo in that it will accept HD inputs but can only stream video at a max 720×480 resolution, which could be passable watching on a PC with a small screen or one of the mobile apps (iOS, Blackberry, Android, $12.99/ea.) There are a few hands-ons and reviews out already, with ZatzNotFunny noting a few tweaks were still necessary to get things running while The Gadgeteer has a bevy of screenshots for you to check out the UI. Monsoon’s other new box, the Blast, is still launching in “the near future,” which builds on the Flow’s specs (detailed after the break) with DVR recording capability and HDMI output for $199.

US Navy’s solid-state laser sets boat ablaze (video)
Posted in: laser, military, Today's Chili, video, wargadget
See that flaming wreckage in the picture above? A laser did that, mounted on board a second vessel similarly bobbing on top of the ocean last week. Yes, even though the United States Navy told us that legitimate seafaring death rays might take another decade to materialize, basic weaponized lasers are ready today, as the 15-kilowatt gun attached to the USS Paul Foster happily demonstrates. Of course, as you’ll see in the video after the break, a beam of such minimal power takes a moment to burn through even an unshielded engine and ignite the fuel therein — once we get some 100+ kilowatt lasers up in there, we shouldn’t have such problems.
