Keepin’ it real fake: the iPhone 4 has a fan in China (video)
Posted in: Apple, iPhone, kirf, Today's Chili, video
With competition like the Samsung Galaxy S II showing us just how thin a phone can be, the iPhone 4 isn’t quite looking as svelte as it once did. How’s an Apple-loving gadget fiend supposed to stay faithful in a time like this? Why, by holding their handset next to something much, much thicker. Enter the “iPhone 4,” which actually isn’t a phone, rather a powered fan that serves to keep you cool, not connected. As you can see after the break, the Home button won’t kick you out of an app, instead kicking that ducted air-mover into high gear, and while you won’t find it in your local Apple Store, stumble across one of these plastic bricks in Shenzhen and it’ll only cost you $10 or so to take it home. Small price to keep your handset feeling good about itself — until September, anyway.

Fox restricts online streams of new TV shows to ‘authenticated’ pay TV subscribers
Posted in: cable, hulu, satellite, streaming, Today's Chili, TV
Starting this fall, for the first eight days after they air, watching Fox TV shows online will require a subscription to Hulu Plus or a participating cable or satellite company. So far Dish Network is the first and only provider to sign up its customers for access to the new walled garden on Fox’s site but others looking to fill out their TV Everywhere lineups probably won’t be far behind. While pay-TV networks like ESPN with ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app and EPIX have already gone the “authentication” route, Fox is the first of the broadcast networks to do so. The new rules go into effect August 15th, then we’ll find out if Fox is driving cable cutters towards paying for TV, piracy, or just ignoring the latest episode of Glee altogether.
