It’s not that the HTC First was a terrible phone – in fact, it’s bound to become a cult classic due to its ability to become all but Nexus with a quick switch-off of Facebook Home. But that’s not the issue here. The issue is that this first Facebook phone was not selling well on
Splinter Cell: Blacklist is giving developer Ubisoft the chance to test out a new way of filming and editing cutscenes, blending live actors, advanced motion capture, and a new virtual camera system for the human touch. The virtual camera, which Ubisoft Toronto demonstrated to Outside Xbox, mixes real-time video editing with augmented reality, allowing a
The NSA isn’t exactly everyone’s favorite agency right now. A lot of people aren’t too pleased about what they’re doing, and they’re not afraid to tell people about it. In artist Sang Mun’s case, he decided to show it.
Mun created ZXX, which has been dubbed as an “anti-NSA” typeface that’ll make it difficult for the agency (or any other agency, for that matter) to use machines to decipher your printed correspondence with other people. The disruptive nature of the typeface makes it difficult for OCR scanners to “read” your exchanges.
While the variants of the typeface are designed to be human-readable, you still might end up giving yourself and your intended recipients a headache by using this font for your documents. I think the ZXX is more of a statement, really, but if you want to download it, you can do so here.

I don’t know about you, but for most of us out here, we have more or less taken it for granted that modern day laptops are pretty safe to use, even for hours on end sitting on your lap as the family jewels (for the men, of course) remain safe and sound from any kind of radiation, while heat dissipation is pretty much efficient so much so that the use of a laptop cooler is not all that important any more. Well, there are still some paranoid androids out there, which is why Icaro Innovations have come up with the all new DefenderPad Laptop Radiation and Heat Shield.
The DefenderPad comes across as a unique and pioneering solution which is said to be able to block nearly 100% of all potentially harmful Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR), and in the process, greatly reduce heat emitted by laptops, tablets and other modern devices. This is an updated version which boasts of an improved thermal-resistive and softer surface, while folks who would want some color in their lives will be able to pick from several more color choices. It boasts of an incredibly sleek and functional by design, the DefenderPad is capable of offering a comfortable and convenient workspace in addition to protecting you, the user, from a range of health risks.
CEO Daniel T. DeBaun, said, “Medical experts like Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Dr. Joseph Mercola have both expressed the importance of limiting your exposure to laptop radiation and heat especially for men and pregnant women. Today, adults and particularly children are exposed to long hours of laptop work for our jobs and for school work. Being a father and a businessman, I felt that there was a need to have a solution that virtually eliminates the harmful radiation produced from laptops and other portable devices while providing a useful workspace.”
The DefenderPad is an FCC Certified Lab Tested solution, and is the ideal all-in-one replacement for lap desks, lap trays and cooling pads. You can choose from black, blue and pink colors with a recommended retail price of $99.99 a pop.

We’d all love to be able to blast sound to the high heavens, but sadly, most of us lack the space and/or patient neighbors willing to put up with it. Well today, gaming gear giant Razer is announcing new software that it claims will be able to turn your ordinary headphones into a professional-grade set that emulates 7.1 channel sound. And from now until the end of the year, the software is free, so why not give it a shot?

Typically, our weekly giveaways feature gadgets, but we like to spiff things up on occasion. If you’re fed up with your current computer desk or workstation (or perhaps you just need a new one for kicks), this will likely be a good opportunity for you to change all that, as Bluelounge is offering up one of its very own StudioDesks. The desks, which are valued at roughly $600, give you a sliding section, a storage compartment and the ability to tuck away your ugly cords. Even if you don’t win one, it’s worth taking a peek at the company’s lineup. In the meantime, good luck!

influence with consumers, so much standing in gaming culture? In short,
what elements have combined to make indie the new black?
Zeebox is clearly busy these days. It just added automatic show syncing and recommendations to its second screen app a few days ago, and it’s back with a new developer portal that opens the Zeebox APIs to everyone, not just partners. Those building mobile and web apps can now integrate Zeebox’s guides, social networking and tagging into their projects, as well as create synchronized widgets for Zeebox’s own release.
