Posted in: business, Email, film, hacking, Law, lawsuit, money, Today's Chili
There’s some Oscar-worthy drama brewing in California, where ARRI executive Michael Bravin has pleaded guilty to hacking into a high-level e-mail account at rival camera maker Band Pro Film and Digital. In a plea agreement filed yesterday with a US District Court, Bravin admitted to intentionally accessing a corporate e-mail account belonging to Amnon Band — Band Pro’s President and CEO. More details after the break, including a potential connection to RED’s Jim Jannard.

Evoz Baby Monitor lets you spy on your kid from anywhere your iPhone gets a signal

Posted in: app, availability, Email, ios, iPhone, itunes, minipost, monitor, pre-order, price, sound, Today's Chili, wifi
Worried that your bundle of joy might get up to no good during your weekly Hatha class? Not with this monolith by his bedside, he won’t. It’s called the Evoz Baby Monitor and it takes its job very seriously. All you have to do is place this WiFi-enabled device next to Junior’s crib, download Evoz’ app on your iPhone and the monitor will automatically provide you with alerts (via text, e-mail or phone call) whenever your kid cries. Once you sync this watchdog with your phone, you can even use it to remotely listen in on your prince, just in case he utters his first words while you’re out on the links. Best of all, the system isn’t restricted to a fixed range and promises to work in any area where you’ve got cellular coverage — whether that be in the backyard, at the gym, or at Child Protective Services. Evoz won’t start shipping the Baby Monitor until October 4th, but gravely concerned parents can pre-order one now for $120, at the source link below. Otherwise, just crawl past the break for more information, in the full PR.

Chumby NeTV unfurls its web-connected tentacles for the FCC

Posted in: Android, Email, hdpostcross, hdtv, interface, mobilepostcross, Today's Chili, TV, video

FCC appearances are usually a good indication of a product’s imminent arrival. And with Chumby’s NeTV already headed to developers’ hands later this month, this Commission filing isn’t exactly catching us off guard. Now, a firm retail date is all that’s missing to complete the once huggable platform’s official outing. Those unfamiliar with the Flash-based, WiFi-enabled device can look forward to a webified HDTV experience that’ll stream online content, as well as texts and photos from your Android phone, to a flat panel display. Sure, there are plenty of other options to bring the net to your livingroom, but how many of them can claim an octopus as their mascot? Check out the source link below if emissions testing and user manuals tickle your fancy.

Chumby NeTV turns any HDTV into a Chumby that’s hard to hug (video)

Posted in: Android, Email, hdpostcross, hdtv, interface, Today's Chili, TV, video
Existing HDTV owners cursing because they don’t have a Smart TV will soon catch a break from Chumby. It’s developing the NeTV, turning any TV (geddit?) into a giant, unhuggable Chumby that connects in-line between source and TV, overlaying the interface on top of your picture. It ships with a seven button remote, but most people should consider using their Android phones to get the most out of the on-board WebKit browser, seamless photo sharing and notifications that put your SMS messages and emails onto the big screen. Developers are gonna get their mitts on the device later this month, but you can catch a sneak peek after the break

[Thanks, Torin]

New York Times’ magic mirror helps you get dressed, puts the ‘wall’ in ‘paywall’ (video)

Posted in: Email, LCD, Today's Chili, video

Forget crosswords and Krugman, because the New York Times has created a new bathroom companion that looks infinitely more entertaining than either of them. Like some of its Snow White-style predecessors, the Times‘ “magic mirror” prototype uses Microsoft Kinect to detect and follow your movements, while deploying voice recognition technology to execute your commands. With this omniscient slab affixed to your wall, you can surf the web, flip through your wardrobe and send reassuring e-mails to your teenage daughter, whom you should have driven to school a good 30 minutes ago. An RFID reader, meanwhile, can recognize tagged pharmaceuticals or other products, allowing you to instantly access information on your prescription meds by placing them in front of the reflective LCD. You could also use the mirror to browse through the Times‘ full slate of articles and video content, meaning you can read about extravagant weekend getaways and urban gentrification from the standing comfort of your sink. Unfortunately for all mankind, the magic mirror is still in the prototype phase and the NYT‘s Research & Development Group has yet to offer a timetable for its release — but you can see it in action for yourself, after the break.

Motorola rolling out 4G LTE upgrade for select Xoom users?

Posted in: 4G, Android, android tablet, AndroidTablet, business, Email, government, lte, motorola xoom, MotorolaXoom, ship, shipping, slate, tablet, Today's Chili, upgrade, verizon, xoom
It’s been a while coming, but it looks like some Motorola Xoom users will finally be receiving 4G LTE support, in the very near future. According to a customer service e-mail obtained by Droid Life, the manufacturer has already begun sending out instructions on how to receive the upgrade, as part of an apparent gradual rollout. To make the jump, select consumers, businesses and government clients will have to first back up their Android-based tablets, before shipping them off to Motorola in a pre-paid FedEx box. Once that’s taken care of, they’ll have to twiddle their thumbs for three business days before receiving their newly refreshed devices, dripping in Verizon’s LTE goodness. No word yet on when the rest of the Xoom community can expect similar treatment, but hit up the source link to read the full e-mail for yourself.

Helpful Tip: Automatically Delete or Mark Spam as Read in Gmail

Posted in: Email, Gmail, Google, Today's Chili

This article was written on May 07, 2008 by CyberNet.

gmail spam filter.png

I’ve slowly made the move back to using an email client full-time ever since Gmail started offering IMAP support. By using IMAP both my online Gmail account and all of my email client are kept in sync with each other, which is nice since I read my mail on multiple devices throughout the day. The only problem is that some of my email clients automatically download messages that Google has already flagged as spam, and it’s frustrating thinking that I have received a new email just to find out that it was a spam message.

DaComboMan pointed out in the forum a nice little tip that can get around that for me. Basically all you have to do is create a filter that either marks spam as read or actually deletes it as it comes in. Here’s what you have to do:

  1. Create a new filter (instructions here)
  2. In the Has the words field enter in:spam
  3. Check either the Mark as read or Delete it box depending on what you would like to do with the spam

I didn’t go as far as to delete the spam because having it automatically marked as read will solve the headaches that I was getting. If you have found yourself in the same boat where you get notifications when new spam arrives then hopefully this will keep what sanity you have left. Doing either of those things will also eliminate the “new spam counter” that you see when visiting the Gmail website.

How I Made a 15-Year-Old App Developer Cry

Posted in: apps, developers, Email, Today's Chili, top

When I was 15, I was wearing baggy jeans, chasing girls and listening to hip hop. If I was 15 today, I’d probably do the same things but with skinny jeans on. Not Nick D’Aloisio. He’s a 15-year-old kid who makes iPhone apps. And I made him cry. More »

BlackBerry Colt may be RIM’s first QNX smartphone, will lack BES support out-of-box?

Posted in: BlackBerry, Email, enterprise, Microsoft, research in motion, ResearchInMotion, RIM, smartphone, Today's Chili
To many, a colt is a representation of rebirth and a symbol for youthfulness. Research in Motion appears to be in desperate need for exactly that — a regeneration. It seems appropriate, then, that RIM may be launching the BlackBerry Colt, its first QNX-based “superphone,” in the first quarter of 2012. This timeline will ensure the device launches at the expected time, according to rumors by BGR, but there’s likely to be a few compromises to ensure it gets pushed out to market faster. The Colt is said to be undergoing internal testing with a single-core chip, contrary to promises of including dual-core CPUs. Additionally, the maiden voyage of the smartphone platform may be completely devoid of BES at the device’s launch; it’s taken longer than expected to rewrite the proper code to support QNX, and more time’s necessary to bring it up to par with RIM’s standards. What would the Enterprise customers do in the meantime? The alternative to BES is almost unthinkable: Exchange emails would be accessed by a preloaded version of Microsoft ActiveSync. Will the gamble yield greater returns in the long run, or will it remove the glue that still holds the company together?

Gmail’s Preview Pane brings ‘tablet-like’ layout to your browser, but kills Multiple Inboxes

Posted in: Email, Gmail, Google, preview, Today's Chili, web

Google’s still doing a fine job of ignoring Gcal’s inability to routinely provide alerts and notifications to select users (nah, we’re not bitter), but at least the Gmail team seems to be firing on all cylinders. Just this week, the outfit revealed its newest Labs feature — Preview Pane. As you’ve probably gleaned from the title, it provides a “tablet-like” layout that’s actually similar to standalone mail clients from yesteryear, and for those with more vertical space than horizontal, there’s even an option to split the divider in that manner. In practice, we found it drop-dead simple to use, and it’s largely an improvement over the stock Gmail layout. The only issue? It nukes Multiple Inboxes, so those accustomed to scrolling down and easily clicking into their Starred emails (for example) will likely be reverting back with dreams dashed. See if it’s in your Settings pane and give it a go — who knows, it might be love.
