Netflix original programming expands with Hemlock Grove

Image
Yet another original series is making its way to online streaming giant Netflix. Horror film genius Eli Roth will be bringing a new series called Hemlock Grove, and will be distributing it exclusively through the online video platform. The show will be based on a horror novel of the same name, about a small Pennsylvania town where a horrendous murder has taken place. The story follows two men who take it upon themselves to figure out the identity of the murderer, and find a series of unsettling clues along the way. This will be Roth’s first attempt at creating a serial drama; he’s best known for his short but suspenseful films like Cabin Fever and Hostel. The show joins other titles like House of Cards, Lilyhammer, and Orange is the New Black in Netflix’s growing library of original programming. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Roth said, “Netflix as a platform is the perfect hybrid of cinema, television, and social networking, with the creative freedom to go as dark as the

DirecTV iPad app update adds streaming on demand

Image
DirecTV has rolled out a new app for the iPad that gives users the ability to stream movies on demand, from anywhere that has a data connection. The app gives users unfiltered access to titles from HBO and Showtime, along with some original DirecTV programming as well as other pay TV networks. The new app also integrates social connectivity, allowing users to share what they’re watching. DirecTV, like a number of other cable and satellite providers, already had an iPad app that allowed subscribers to stream select live TV content. But the catch is that users need to be connected to their home WiFi network – and that network has to be powered by the same company as their TV service. In other words, the app is treated like a second cable or satellite box, not an on-the-go service. The new DirecTV mobile offering takes it a step further, but of course the content that can be streamed from anywhere is on-demand videos, not live TV. In addition, the selection only includes full-length movie

Conde Nast magazines on new iPad called out for poor quality

Image
With the incredible resolution that is the Retina Display, a lot of critics are taking a closer microscopic look into the various apps and content that have been around since before the improved technology. One of the companies that has been given such a critical eye is Conde Nast for its digital publications. Obviously, digital magazines and newspapers are a huge industry for tablets, especially the iPad, since publishers see it as their big chance to remain relevant. But Conde Nast might not be doing such a good job of that. Conde Nast is the publisher of several best-selling publications, including The New Yorker, which it has converted into digital format for the iPad. Subscribers need to pay for the content just like they would for the print version, but as is pointed out at thepixelpeeprs.com, the conversion is hardly optimized. The problem is that Conde Nast presents some of its articles in text form, and the rest in image form even though it’s all still just text. This means fo

Mysterious winged “bird man” exposed as a hoax

Image
A man who captivated the blogosphere by claiming to have achieved bird-like flight by using a winged contraption has been proven to be nothing more than a guy with some skills in video special effects. The man, who used the name Jarno Smeets, seemed to have the qualifications necessary to create such a first-of-its-kind invention. His LinkedIn page has a lot of high-end experience and education. A very thorough sting operation from Wired, however, showed that pretty much all of that information was fabricated. Smeets’s LinkedIn profile showed that he worked at Pailton Steering Systems, an engineering firm. But Wired contacted the company and got a confused reply with no one there able to confirm the employment of anyone named Jarno Smeets. Other alleged employers were also contacted but did not respond. Smeets also claimed to have attended school at Coventry University. Wired reached out to that institution as well, and could not find anyone matching the name given. In addition, repeat

Dell offers improved BIOS and trackpad driver for XPS 13 Ultraportable

Image
We had a good long look at Dell’s shiny new XPS 13 earlier this month, and came away impressed with the build quality and screen. But two points of contention in our official review were the rather noisy system fan (a rare thing on an ultrabook) and the fidgety touchpad, an all too common occurrence on the trendy new all-in-one designs. Dell followed up with us today to say that they’ve updates both the system BIOS and the Cypress drivers for the trackpad, neatly addressing both issues. XPS 13 owners can get the BIOS here, and the trackpad drivers here. I threw both updates on the XPS 13 Ultrabook review unit to see how they fared. I’m happy to report that the trackpad driver showed an immediate improvement in both accuracy and respose. It’s still not as smooth are a glass trackpad, and to be certain I’d rather have physical buttons than the Macbook-style “zones” on the bottom of the pad, but the newly revised drivers don’t have me reaching for my trusty travel mouse like I did before.

Verizon spectrum deal could be bad for consumers

Image
Verizon’s plan to buy a bunch of unused mobile spectrum from cable companies could be a huge boost for Verizon, but terrible news for pretty much everyone else in the mobile industry, including you. That was the resounding opinion of experts who spoke before US lawmakers today. The proposed purchase would need to pass regulatory approval, and Verizon’s competitors are trying to prevent that from happening. So at issue is the fact that, under Verizon’s plan, it would essentially help to promote four major cable companies in exchange for their help in promoting Verizon. This would lead to low incentives for these competitors to actually compete with one another, and we all know what happens when there is a low amount of competition. Prices get higher for the end consumer. And that’s never fun, right? Unless you’re a shareholder in the company that benefits. Digital advocate Joel Kelsey, from Free Press, said in his speech to legislators, “These agreements simply represent a deal between

Twitter is now six years old

Image
Awww, our little Twitter is growing up so fast. It is now a budding six years old. Where were you when you sent your first tweet? Are you one of the early adopters or did you just start recognizing what the significance of that blue bird is last week? Either way, if you’ve logged into Twitter at least once, you’re part of one of the biggest social platforms that exists. And it is only continuing to grow bigger and bigger every day (heck, every minute). In the official Twitter blog, the microblogging site posted a picture of a several-year-old sketch on a piece of notebook paper that would become the foundation of a site that has fundamentally changed history. That’s no joke. Many people credit Twitter (along with other factors, of course) for things like the uprise in Egypt and other regions in the Middle East. It has become as much a friendly networking platform as it has a valuable resource for news and cultural impacts. In the blog post, the company wrote, “No one could have predict

Lumus OE-31 wearable display hands-on

Image
Wearable displays are going to change the mobile market, not to mention gaming, and usher augmented reality into the mainstream. At least, they will if display specialists Lumus have anything to do with it: the company has already shown us its 720p twin-display wearable prototype back at CES 2012, and SlashGear caught up with the company again today to see arguably an even more impressive version, the OE-31. Lower resolution, true, but smaller, lower-power and easier to disguise in the average pair of glasses: this could be the way you consumer your Twitter, Facebook, email, GPS and more on the move in just a couple of years time. Read on for our first-impressions. Lumus announced the OE-31 optical engine just before Mobile World Congress last month, but public displays haven’t been forthcoming yet. Like the DK-32, the wearable screen consists of a tiny projector – which would be integrated into the hinge section of your glasses – and a transparent plastic slice through which the pictu

iPhoto for iOS hits 1 million users in 10 days

Image
Apple’s new iPhoto app for iOS, first announced at the iPad event earlier this month, has reached over 1 million users in less than 10 days of being on the market. This is almost certainly one of the fastest selling apps in Apple’s mobile app portfolio’s history and certainly says a lot about the quality of the app itself. We’ve got a full review of iPhoto for iOS if you’d like to take a look, and do indeed suggest you try it out for yourself if you’ve not done so already. As The Loop notes, this 1 million person mark includes just users, not downloads, so you can forget about calling on the idea that it’s just people downloading the app for each of their devices. This application includes functionality for both the iPhone and iPad interfaces, and allows you to not only organize your photos, but edit them as well. Have a peek at the app in action here: iPhoto Hands-on with Photo Editing: iPhoto Hands-on with Organization and Sharing: Then head to the [iTunes App Store] to pick up your

Toshiba flaunts 13.3-inch AT330 prototype ICS tablet

Image
Toshiba has unveiled a new prototype tablet, the AT330, at Toshiba World 2012 in Germany and it’s a huge 13.3-inch slate sporting the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Beyond the massive screen size, the AT330 also features a Tegra 3 quad-core processor and a TV tuner that includes a pull-out antennae. The folks at Techfokusspent some hands-on time with the tablet, the video of which is posted below. The Toshiba AT330 prototype tablet is nearly double the size of the 7.7-inch AT200 prototype the company revealed at Mobile World Congress earlier this year, which also featured an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor and a similar aesthetic. But the AT330′s roomier body accommodates 32GB of storage with a full-sized SD card slot and HDMI output. Not too much more is known about the specs of the AT330 other than having a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. It’s not certain what resolution display it has, but it looks to be a 1920 x 1200 LCD panel. The

Commodore revives Amiga with powerful Mini PC

Google may consider sharing revenue from its Google Wallet mobile payment service in order to garner much needed support from carriers, according to insider sources who spoke with Bloomberg. The service has been struggling with slow adoption and indifference from major carriers, such as Verizon and AT&T, both of which appear to be holding out for their own mobile payment solution called Isis. When Google Wallet launched last year it was only available to one device on one carrier, the Nexus S on the Now Network. Only recently, has the service managed to make its way to a second device, the Galaxy Nexus on AT&T. Hence, it’s no wonder uptake hasn’t been widespread. Despite the powers of Google, it needs Verizon and AT&T support, but both are blocking the service from their NFC-capable devices with only one exception so far. Google is said to be now re-evaluating its Wallet strategy and wanting to create incentives for carriers. Another option it is exploring is to completely

RIM says no to BlackBerry PlayBook jailbreaking

Image
RIM addressed its stance and future policy on BlackBerry PlayBook jailbreaking in a post to the company’s blog today, officially confirming that jailbreaking the PlayBook would void its warranty. RIM’s opposition to customers using jailbreak tools, such as DingleBerry, isn’t surprising, but it also outlined a policy of continually and aggressively patching any root access exploits. It’s understandable that RIM isn’t going to take a flexible stance on jailbreaking as say Android would, since it’s targeting enterprise and business users. Plus, the image of having an especially high standard in security may be one of RIM’s last advantages over competing smartphone platforms and manufacturers. It has already quickly squashed the DingleBerry rooting tool since it was made available last year and its PlayBook is so far the only device in the BlackBerry lineup to be rootable. But in the detailed post today, RIM outlined the different ways in which it will handle two basic types of root access

Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G Review

Image
This week the brand new T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G goes on sale with T-Mobile’s own brand of 4G connectivity and a Qualcomm S3 dual-core processor under the hood. This device represents what was fantastic throughout 2011, what’s going right with the industry today, and a good look at what it means to pay slightly less cash for a device that by all means should be considered a hero device, but isn’t because there can only be one: the Galaxy S II. You can get this device in the store today – now lets have a heavy look at what it means to own it. Hardware This device is fantastic for your everyday average Android user. We’ve reached a point where a dual-core processor like this one has is normal yet the camera isn’t quite as powerful as its siblings. Samsung has done this because with a slightly less powerful camera, a few down-grades from the Samsung Galaxy S II, this device is able to be offered at a relatively low price. That said, you’ll see below that the camera does wonders

Sony Xperia S now shipping worldwide

Image
Sony’s latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia S, has begun shipping today worldwide. The PlayStation-certified dual-core handset will arrive at retailers soon with Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board, but customers can expect an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich later this spring. The Sony Xperia S features a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of data storage with up to 1.5GB of app storage. It has a 4.3-inch 1280 x 720 TFT pixel-dense display, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 12.1-megapixel rear-facing camera with 16x digital zoom, LED flash, and 1080p Full HD video recording. For more details on the device, make sure to check out our full review. The device comes in black or white and features a unique transparent navigation bar that runs across the phone just below the screen. Sony hasn’t revealed the pricing and exact date of availability and is leaving that information for local retailers to announce soon. A US version is expected to

Zynga buys Draw Something makers OMGPOP officially

Image
In a now-official affirmation of what the news media has been guessing at all day, Zynga has announced that they would be purchasing OMGPOP, the company responsible for the break-out hit Draw Something. This group of developers is also responsible for an additional 35 social games and will help Zynga strengthen their existing portfolio as well as new mobile IP. Zynga has taken special care to note that in no way does this mean that Draw Something will change in any way, it retaining its “magic” through the future. The game Draw Something has been out for a relatively small amount of time: six weeks, and has already been downloaded 35 million times. This is a fantastic feat for any game, much less one that had no commercial basis before its release. Some other interesting factoids surrounding the game include the amount of drawings being done simultaneously just yesterday, that being 3,000, and the ranking of the game in 84 countries around the world: number one. The developers of this

Broadcom’s new GPS chip offers 10X performance, half the power consumption

Image
Broadcom today announced a new GPS chip for smartphones that promises to deliver 10 times the performance for faster, more accurate position computation, while reducing power consumption by 50 percent. And being built on a 40nm process, the chip is 44 percent smaller making it perfect for new smartphones that are increasingly tight on space. The new chip is a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) chip called the BCM4752 and it can simultaneously collect data from four satellite constellations: GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, and SBAS. Retrieving the best signals from all four allows for faster searches and more accurate real-time navigation. The BCM4752 chip also offers indoor positioning capability through the integration of 5G WiFi and low-power Bluetooth. The chip can also source data from a device’s accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and altimeter to help with indoor navigation. This will make it possible for future apps to navigate you inside buildings, such as a shopping mall or ret

NASA Vortex Combustion tech stops fires cold

Image
This week the folks at the Orbital Technologies Corporation aka ORBITEC of Madison, Wisconsin, have successfully utilized NASA tech to make a fire extinguisher work better and faster than ever before. NASA’s vortex combustion technology has before now just been developed by ORBITEC to work with rocket engine design. What ORBITEC’s subsidiary company HMA Fire has done is take the same concept and put a fire out in record time with much less effort than ever before. This new system we’re speaking about here is being tested on empty houses at Vandenberg Air Force Base as we speak. What’s been found thus far is that this 20-gallon-per-minute, 1,400 pound-per-square-inch (psi) discharge capability beast has a much better chance of putting out a fire quicker than the standard unit. This unit is being compared to a standard 100-gallon-per-minute, 125 psi standard hand line which is generally controlled by several firemen at once. The old system was able to put out a fire in 1 minute and 45 se
