Smart Earphones Know Which Ears They're In, Adjusts Channels Accordingly.
I absolutely agree with most of you that the whole left/right thing can easily be solved with some tactile or easily visible differentiation between the two sides, but the conductivity thing is pretty awesome. I hate deafening myself in public, so pretty much any time I even wear earbuds I only wear one of them, and the fact that it can dynamically decide which channel(s) to output could be a ...

On Sony's PS Vita Design and PSP Gaming on Android Devices.
This whole Wes quoting himself in his stories thing is really weird to me. I know the large-text quotes are common in news writing, but I feel like it's usually when referring to a specific statistic or quote from an expert/interviewee. I understand the purpose of highlighting certain text and know it's a stylistic thing, but the face that Wes just started doing it after CES in every single story ...

I sure hope that dash is stable. Obviously Tesla is probably insanely overtesting that aspect, but I'm not looking forward to the first stories of someone's speedometer freezing. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong.

@takeoffyourpantsandjacket said:So this is basically just a giant pc gaming handheld. The only way I would consider this is if they made the controllers removable so that I had the option of using it just as a powerful tablet and could game when I wanted to.Exactly was what I was thinking. Without removable controllers this becomes the world's most meaningless device, because there's no way I'm lugging that whole thing ...

@Rallier: There seem to be a decent chunk of people that actively hate the X52 vs. the Pro, but all in all it seems like you're right in that they're more or less identical. And honestly, any stick is going to be a step up for me.However, have you seen anywhere that sells it for a reasonable price? Newegg is out of stock and Amazon only has third party sellers ...

@VooDooPC: Both Newegg and Amazon are out of stock on it. Why's it half the price yet looks identical?

I'm currently rolling with a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro that was purchased circa 1997. It requires an included adapter in order convert the serial port connector to USB, something that I am truly shocked is natively recognized by Windows 7. It's a fine stick, and the fact that it is only a handful of years younger than I am and still functional is a downright miracle, but the fact is ...

MINECRAFT: Tested.Com Official and ever expanding server!
on the Games board.
@coopdegra said: @Waffles13: I like your ideas, and since 1.8 mobs no longer really lag the server at all. If you think about it, Xantar could cut the entire map just down to Testopia (or wherever the original spawn was), turn the mobs and difficulty all the way up, and make it some sort of game-ending event. Hell, I'd but we could get Will to mention it on the podcast ...

So I was just on for the first time in months, but for what its worth I spent upwards of a hundred hours on the Magz server and reading back on the last few pages of this thread I wanted to say that I would support resetting the map depending on what it becomes. If the idea is to just reset the map and leave everything else the same, I ...

Microsoft's KinectFusion Project Scans the World in Real-Time [Video]

@MordeaniisChaos said: @Waffles13: We can already scan things in 3D with a massive amount of precision. Some of the bigger crazier CG creatures in the Lord of the Ring movies were actually partially created in clay and then scanned in. Hell, there is software that can do this without the kinect, with about as much accuracy as you see with the raw kinect data. This is way cooler for real ...

Imagine if they had doubled or quadrupled the resolution of the Kinect Camera... That would essentially negate the need for modelers and texture artists for real world objects, wouldn't it?
