Western Digital released a hard drive compliment to their USB Passport hard drive, the WD TV HD Media Player.  What they’ve done is develop a high resolution real time streaming device capable of recording up to 1080p to your USB hard drive or super sized USB stick.

It’s clear to me Western Digital will begin developing products to complement or enhance the need of their core business products - hard drives and storage.

The WD TV HD Media Player has a memory buffer inside but uses two USB ports on the backside where you can plug in USB sticks or USB hard drives, like the Passport, to store the digital stream.

The WD TV HD is competatively prices at $129.99 and has HDMI composite outputs. (more…)

I don’t know what these guys are thinking but here’s an ugly bold box called a PC.  From the front it looks like a toaster for only one slice of bread.  From the side it’s got a handle for only god knows why.

With all the fancy gold on the outside, I’m curious what the back looks like.  Probably your standard PC output panel.

In case you are wondering, we have no idea how much this gold gem costs but we do know it’s got a Dual Core 2.0 processor, eight USB ports, 100GB HDD and 4GB of RAM.

Digital Rights Management have surrounded music ever since the MP3 standard was set back in the late 90s.  We’ve slowly seen labels and artists go the route of DRM free music, and today Datz.com is trying it again.

The program Datz.com is promoting is a $100 membership fee which gives you access to download as much content as you want.  The membership comes with a CD and a loaded USB stick.  It seems the USB music album continues to grow in popularity.  The fee will last you 12 months, but what you accomplish in downloads is yours for life.  Transfer, burn or copy those MP3 to any number of players you want.

Some of the record labels Datz.com is claiming you’ll get include EMI, Warner Bros Records, Beggars Group and The Orchard.

What’s the catch? Well, there’s an ominous phrase in the press release, “…a wide selection of new music released in 2009 will be available to Datz Music Lounge members,” indicating that perhaps not all of the new releases will be available?

In either event, if you love music and can part with a C note - Datz might be worth a shot.

We saw this post a couple days ago over at Engadget and I’ve been meaning to write about it.  Apparently there is new technology which allows you to eavesdrop through USB cables, Ethernet cables and the like.

The idea is using electromagnetic radiation shot off by USB cables to decrypt the information flowing over them to crack your security and privacy.  The crew at Security and Cryptography Lab at Switzerland’s EPFL have managed to eavesdrop wired keyboards and track keystrokes made by the user.

What gets really crazy, is the electromagnetic eavesdropping, or cracking, can be administered up to 65 feet away.  It’s clear that no one is safe. (more…)

This is not your ordinary lamp with bulb, switch and lamp shade, oh no.  It’s an ultra niche lamp specifically designed to show off your 35MM slide film.  Yes, we go with the assumption you are too poor to develop your slides, yet have enough in your nest egg to spring for this contemporary design.

The lamp slide holds up to 36 slides and comes in three different sizes [lengths] of 2, 4 and 6 feet.  Prices start at $140 and end just above $200.

It’s definitely a conversation piece as the design is very unique.  However, we feel the conversation will be more along the lines of (more…)
