Good news VLC users, it looks like VLC’s Kickstarter campaign was a success with  only a few days left, which means that those looking for native VLC support on their Windows 8, Windows RT or Windows Phone 8 devices, well that looks like it will be definite possibility although at this point it is unclear as to when the software will be released, although they did announce that development for it will kick off in 2013. The folks at VLC have also come up with several new ideas that they hope to incorporate into their software once the initial release has been made, such as:

• camera input support — This allows you to record anything your connected cameras can see and to stream it live where ever you like.
• DLNA client and server integration — Play media stored on DLNA capable servers on your Windows RT tablet or Windows Phone — Stream everything VLC can play on your tablet or Windows 8 PC to your DLNA capable devices (Xbox, …).
• integration with locally attached devices for media playback and synchronization
• Smartglass support

Sounds pretty exciting, doesn’t it? In any case we’ll be keeping our eyes and ears peeled for more information regarding the application, so check back with us from time to time as we will keep you updated on its progress.

After a Korean press release revealed that it will out a bevy of new Google TV offerings in 2013, LG has firmed up the details in English, saying it’ll launch seven new models at CES next month. Those include 42-, 57-, 50-, 55- and 60-inch models from the upcoming GA6400 series, along with 47- and 55-inch Cinema Screen panels included in the new GA7900 series. All the screens will ship with a redesigned Magic Qwerty Remote, which uses a full keyboard along with “natural language recognition” via a built-in microphone. Together with built-in Google search functions, that’ll allow users to find “broadcast TV or internet content with only one vocal command,” according to LG. Other features include the OnLive gaming platform app, a home dashboard to display other apps and content, LG’s PrimeTime Quick Guide for browsing TV shows or movies, and a full browser. There’s no word yet about pricing or availability, but hopefully that’ll be one of the many, many morsels of info we’ll be grabbing for you at CES 2013. Check the PR after the break for more info.

After witnessing the fall of the DS, DSi, 3DS and PlayStation Vita, it’s no surprise to hear that the Neo Geo X has succumbed to the talents of the homebrew community, but it is a little shocking how easy the handheld was to conquer. Upon cracking the device open, enthusiasts were surprised to find no copy protection to speak of — just a lightly glued MicroSD card. The folks on the Neo Geo forum wasted no time experimenting, and soon found that the handheld’s Bios and game ROMs can be successfully swapped for new games or custom loaders. Substitute files need to retain the name of the file they replace, and swapped games remain mislabeled in the Neo Geo X menu, but the trick has already allowed some users to install the popular AES Unibios. The community hopes that the discovery will eventually allow them to tweak the handheld’s TV-out resolution and enable manual switching between AES / MVS game modes. It’s hardly a “hack,” considering the SD card is completely unprotected, but it’s a good start. Check out the source link below to peer at the device’s insides, or just to watch the community in action.

The Alabama boys of “Bamazon” ran into a real problem on the latest installment of their quest for gold in the Amazon. When a barge got stuck on a rock, crewman Chris Gamble saw no other solution than to try and dislodge it manually. To do so he had to jump in the water, and the narration made sure to let viewers know what was in there with him.

Chris was swimming with the vampire fish. “They’re said to attack human males by swimming up the urethra and lodging themselves there,” the narrator said.

But that wasn’t the only danger Chris faced in that situation. “If the barge had shifted while Chris was between the barge and the rock it could have pieced him in half,” crew boss Tim Evans said.

There was a time when “obey” was a part of most women’s wedding vows, but that time is not now. Still, when Kody Brown got a little tired during a road trip on “Sister Wives,” he threw that expectation out there. Needless to say, it didn’t go over all that well.

“I think that word, ‘obey,’ is in fact a four-letter word,” his wife, Christine, told him. “For you to just throw out, ‘I think you should obey me,’ … that’s offensive.”

Kody explained it away as him being cranky from the long drive. “When I’m really grumpy it’s hard to sit here and try to sell everybody,” he said. “‘Can we all leave at the same time right now? Would that be OK with all of you?'”
