<title><![CDATA[ Nokia E71 to Hit Flagship Stores This Week [Nokia] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/e71.jpg" height="225" width="131" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"/>We'd previously <a href="http://gizmodo.com/387763/long-awaited-nokia-e71-may-hit-on-may-8th">suggested</a> a May 8th date for the much-anticipated Nokia E71 cellphone, but it looks like the actual US launch is about to happen. Rumors are that Nokia's Flagship Store in Chicago has already got its first shipment, and has been contacting customers on the waiting list. The dual band WCDMA phone is apparently to be unveiled at a launch party this Thursday. So if you're on a list, for $480 you could be clutching the QWERTY keypad, GPS-enabled device in just 48 hours.

<title><![CDATA[ The Beam Bed Makes Drooling on the Pillow a Divine Experience [Furniture] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/Beam_01.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />There's nothing particularly technologically innovative about the Beam Bed, but it uses a sunburst-shaped lighting and support system to emit a glorious glow that's perfect for wooing the ladies/thwarting the monsters. As we've long been scared of both said species, we're pleased to see that the furniture market is finally catering to our insecurities with no shortage of style. Now just to find some plastic "rainburst" sheets and all of our sleeping abnormalities will be cured at last.

<title><![CDATA[ NEC's Minority Report-Style Display Tailors Adverts For You (Verdict: Frankenads) [Advertising] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/necadverts1.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" width="494" height="252" style="display:block;float:none;" />It may be tired to bring up Minority Report, but remember the scenes in the movie where our hero gets bothered by interactive targeted advertising wherever he goes? Thanks to dear ol' NEC, this nightmare of advert pestering may really be in our future: its new ad display panel watches its watchers with a camera, then tailors the adverts to the audience. The 50-inch plasma's camera and software doesn't quite go so far as identifying specific people, but it does guess at age and sex and then offers you the chance to grab data on the products wirelessly to a cellphone. It'll be demoed at Fuji Television's festival in Tokyo: go along and see how irritating (or not) the future of advertising may be, if you're interested.

Anyhow, Microsoft's $300 million campaign to return fire after Apple's <a href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/mac-vs-pc/">"Mac vs. PC" ads</a> with our buddy John Hodgman—which, like it or not, were a wildly successful campaign and definitely helped shape the public's perception of Vista—has begun with this image from microsoft.com, comparing the potential realization that Vista doesn't suck to the debunking of the flat earth theory. It took a bold voyage to the New World by one Christopher Columbus to change everyone's mind on the first one—but Microsoft is hoping a little ad campaign will do the trick to clean up the gross misconception the public (and tons of Windows users) seem to have about Vista.</p> <p>It makes sense that Microsoft is going for a more conceptual ad here, rather than tick off a list of everything that people should perceive Vista is good at (they already do that on the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/discover/why-now.aspx">page the ad points to</a>). I can think of a lot of other future installments, like "At one point, everyone thought witches walked among us" or "At one point, people thought they could turn lead into gold," or "At one point, people thought that it was a good idea to shit into ditches alongside the city streets." The campaign basically writes itself—why don't you guys give is a whirl.

<title><![CDATA[ Is This the Next PSP? [Psp 3000] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/psp_3k_back.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />It's tough to make out much from these shots, but according to their source, they are of the next PSP (the PSP model 3000). The specs include a built-in microphone as well as an updated button set that replaces the "Home" button with a PlayStation button (to more closely resemble the PS3).</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/psp_3k_mic.jpg" class="center" style="display:block;" />Other than those tidbits, we have little more information on the alleged update other than that it could include "cell phone support." And from the looks of this back casing, it doesn't seem that the next PSP will be much, if any, thinner than its predecessor.

<title><![CDATA[ TiVo to Pimp Their Subscribers to Amazon [TiVo] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/tivo_logo_man-744939.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"/>Bad news for TiVo subscribers—the company is about to reach for new levels of advertising debauchery. If you thought those banners in the TiVo menu system were bad, know that the company is about to take things a big step further and invade actual television programming with Amazon as their partner. From the NY Times: </p> <blockquote><p>Owners of TiVo video recorders will see, in TiVo’s various onscreen menus, links to buy products like CDs, DVDs and books that guests are promoting on talk shows like “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “The Late Show With David Letterman” and “The Daily Show.”</p> </blockquote> <p>That much is unrolling today. As for the future...</p> <blockquote><p>In the months ahead, TiVo plans to begin offering this feature to advertisers and programmers, so that the chance to buy products and have them delivered will be presented to viewers during commercials and even alongside product placements during live shows.</p> </blockquote> <p>There was no mention of an option to opt-in to the ads. </p> <p>In a completely unrelated announcement, I have two TiVo HDs for sale.

<title><![CDATA[ Garmin's New Nuvi 500 GPS Does Driving, Walking, Boating Nav in One Unit [GPS] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/nuvi501.jpg" height="257" width="295" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"/>Garmin has just announced a new member of the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/nuvi/">Nuvi</a> GPS range, the 500 series.

We have picked the best, the weirdest, and the most wonderful, from laser liners that look like Wall-E's Eve evil twin, microwave containers with lids, and wall-mounted home server enclosures straight out of Star Trek, to self-propelled sprayers (like me), NYC condom dispensers/wrappers (no connection there), a "vibrating massager" that looks like an aubergine, and even a precision timing detonation system.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/Silver-SuperEZConnector-web.jpg" height="196" width="275" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"></p> <p><b>The Gadget:</b> Dyno Nobel Super EZ Connector - Precision Timing Detonation System<br> <b>What is it:</b> "Dyno Nobel's Super EZ Connectors form the attachments of a precision, non-electric, timed detonation system used in blasting. They link together shocktubes, a type of specialized fuse which burns at a rate of 7000 feet per second."<br> <b>Why we like it:</b> They look like Scalextric controls. They make things explode.

It is composed of two parts: a base and a lid."<br> <b>Why we like it</b>: It looks amazingly good—as opposed to your usual fugly microwave oven—and it's incredibly useful. Too bad this one is just a concept for now.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/Finalist_Hitachi_Laser_Liner_Series.jpg" height="385" width="275" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"></p> <p><b>The Gadget</b>: Hitachi Laser Liner Series<br> <b>What is it</b>: "The Hitachi Laser Liner Series is ideal for the positioning of slope structures such as stairs, handrails, internal building structures, electric lighting facilities and the alignments of tile joints for outer walls or plastering."<br> <b>Why we like it</b>: It looks like an evil robot.

It uses GPS, has new headlights, and increased field of vision.<br> <b>Why we like it:</b> A vehicle. To spray. The cockpit, the wheels, the handrails, all looks space-age weird and that's why we like it. That and the fact that I'm picturing myself driving it down the US1 from NYC to the Florida keys in one of these, spraying everyone with, humm, dunno, <i>some</i> kind of sprayable thing.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/Bronze-Amphibian-web.jpg" height="196" width="275" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"></p> <p><b>The Gadget:</b> The Amphibian™ Dynamic Scuba Fin<br> <b>What is it:</b> "This design allows divers to walk and climb boat ladders without removing their fins."<br> <b>Why we like it:</b> So simple, and knowing the pain it is to do this, so effective. I want them. Also, it's called amphibian, like some of the ladies of the world.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/Finalist_The_Mule.jpg" height="391" width="275" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"></p> <p><b>The Gadget:</b> The Mule<br> <b>What is it:</b> "The Mule is an all-in-one stacker, transporter and portable work bench, designed for ease of use and to help increase productivity and reduce workplace injuries. It has a tough, steel-framed platform that can handle up to 350 pounds of material."<br> <b>Why we like it:</b> Not to be confused by its <a href="http://gizmodo.com/368651/new-video-of-bigdog-quadruped-robot-is-so-stunning-its-spooky">Boston Dynamics' relative</a>, this Mule useful in so many ways, sturdy, and lets you get out your manly DIY instincts to abandon them two hours later, when you wake up in the hospital without three of your fingers and a major head contusion.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/gold-lightbulb-web.jpg" height="385" width="275" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"></p> <p><b>The Gadget:</b> frog Light Bulb<br> <b>What is it:</b> "The light bulb concept takes the form of the traditional light bulb, but one-ups it in efficiency by using a high-output LED as the light source. This prototype also uses half the power of a fluorescent while lasting ten times longer."<br> <b>Why we like it:</b> We like our friends at frog design. I like this light even more, because I love the shape of the classic bulb and I would hate to see it disappear in a fashion-disco-club nightmare of minimalist LED lights.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/Gold-Speedglas-web.jpg" height="385" width="275" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"></p> <p><b>The Gadget:</b> Speedglas™ SL (Super Light)<br> <b>What is it:</b> "Speedglas SL is a welding helmet with an auto-darkening filter to protect the eyes."<br> <b>Why we like it:</b> It's the world's lightest welding helmet and it looks like a helmet I would wear while trying to battle cyber-dragons in sci-fi Middle Earth. And one more thing: Flashdance.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/Gold-SylvanSport_GO-web.jpg" height="160" width="275" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"></p> <p><b>The Gadget</b>: SylvanSport GO - Mobile Adventure Gear<br> <b>What is it</b>: "This is a three-in-one towable vehicle that morphs from a compact, traveling profile to a rugged toy-hauler mode to a spacious and comfortable camping configuration."<br> <b>Why we like it</b>: TRANSFORMERS.

Placement of a truss requires a worker at the peak to align and brace it."<br> <b>Why we like it:</b> Not that we are going to install wooden roof trusses anytime soon, but the heavy-duty industrial look of the RidgeRunner makes me want to start doing that now.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/Gold-TouchSight-web.jpg" height="196" width="275" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"></p> <p><b>The Gadget:</b> Touch Sight<br> <b>What is it:</b> "Touch Sight is a revolutionary digital camera designed for visually impaired people.

The user can then use the sound as reference when reviewing and managing the photos. Touch Sight does not have an LCD but instead has a lightweight, flexible Braille display sheet which displays a 3D image by embossing the surface, allowing the user to touch their photo."<br> <b>Why we like it:</b> The design is simple and the idea is great, specially the Braille display sheet with embossed images. Too bad this one is just a concept too (designed by Samsung).</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/Silver-Armarac-web.jpg" height="385" width="275" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"></p> <p><b>The Gadget:</b> Armarac - 19' Wall Mounter Server Enclosure<br> <b>What is it:</b> "The Armarac represents the evolution of the traditional 19-inch computer rack.

<title><![CDATA[ Toy Rocket Inspires Design of Variable-Speed Bullets [Guns] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/VSbullet.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" width="494" height="263" style="display:block;float:none;" />Repurposing the design of a kid's toy rocket into an innovative gun may sound pretty dark, but it creates a weapon with selectable lethality. Rockets made by Lund and Company Invention of Chicago use a liquid hydrogen variable fuel-air mix to give a selectable-power launch, and now the US Army is funding research to apply the tech to guns. The Variable Velocity Weapon System uses a similar liquid or gaseous fuel-air mix in a combustion chamber to propel bullets from the rifle, which lets you set the bullet speed as non-lethal at 33 feet to lethal at 330 feet, for example. Current research VVWS are .50 calibre rifles, but the design is scalable from "handgun to howizter." Sounds like a useful addition to a soldier's arsenal, though I suspect there'll be plenty of worries of the "I used the wrong setting" type.

<title><![CDATA[ Rear-View Mirror GPS To Come to US, Named SmartMirror [GPS] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/smartmirror.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" width="494" height="168" style="display:block;float:none;" />Previously named the DS400GB, the SmartMirror is a GPS system that is mounted in place of your conventional rear-view mirror, and has a rear-facing cam input. With Navigon Mobile Navigator 6.5 inside, it's got "reality view", a 4-inch touchscreen, integrated speakers and Bluetooth and takes SD cards. It's actually got two inputs for rear-view cameras, which may be good news for the parking-skill-challenged. It sounds like a neat solution, but I'm a little unconvinced that mounting a GPS high up there on the windscreen isn't actually going to distract you from looking in the rear-view mirror&mdash; after all, we know how <a href="http://gizmodo.com/340515/area-man-parks-car-on-house-roof-tells-police-gps-made-me-do-it">distracting</a> GPS can be. SmartMirror will be available August 1st for $799.

<title><![CDATA[ Sony Pushes Out Three New Walkmen Phones, the W302, W902 and W595 [Cellphones] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/newWalkmenphones1_01.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" width="494" height="294" style="display:block;float:none;" />It's the third birthday of Sony Ericsson's Walkman phone label, and to celebrate it's launching three new music-based cellphones. The W302 and W902 (left, center in the image) are both candybar cells, with the 302 having an FM radio, and 2-megapixel cam, and the 902 with a 5-megapixel cam and apparently matching the high audio quality of the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/354745/sony-ericsson-w980i-walkman-clamshell-hits-the-right-chords">W980</a> phone. The W595 is a slide phone with built-in stereo speakers so users can "share sounds with their friends" (read: annoy passers-by with irritating tunes) but it also has twin jacks so you can share music privately. All four phones are quad-band GSM, have "shake control," come in a selection of colors and will hit the streets at the end of the year. Press release below, which also details some new accessories like wireless portable speakers.</p> <blockquote> <p>To coincide with the Walkman™ phone’s third birthday, Sony Ericsson has unveiled three brand new mobile phones giving music on the go to more users than ever.

The W902 features the same superior sound quality as the W980, about to launch shortly, which was rated ”best audio experience” this month, in a trial conducted in Germany by TESTfactory*.</p> <p>With the W902, users can listen to music the way it should be heard: true to original. It’s also a mobile phone for those that want it all, with a five megapixel camera and great video capturing and sharing capabilities, an 8GB Memory Stick Micro™ (M2) for storing more than 8,000 songs**, the W902 is a top-of-the-range device that will make you the envy of your friends.</p> <p>The W595 Walkman™ is perfect for those who want to share sounds with their friends. Store and play more than 1,900 songs** through the built in stereo speakers.

<title><![CDATA[ Osram Push White LEDS to World-Record Brightness, Super Efficiency [LEDs] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/white_leds.JPG" height="265" width="300" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"/>It's an interesting week in the world of LEDs: on the weekend we heard about <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5027090/purdue-university-breakthrough-could-lead-to-low+cost-mass+produced-leds">ultra-cheap</a> ones, and today Osram (yes, the light bulb people) have news that they've pushed white LEDs to world-record brightness. By optimizing the diode, light converter and the package, their lab test squeezed 500 lumens out of a single LED at 1.4A. That's bright enough for projector tech, and certainly makes the single unit good for car lighting and even interior lights. At a lower, more optimal, current the 1mm-square white LED had an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficacy">efficiency</a> of 136 lumens/W which makes it about twice as efficient as standard fluorescent lamps and 10 times a normal bulb. Press release below.</p> <blockquote><p> OSRAM Achieves Quantum Leap in Brightness and Efficiency of White LEDs<br /> SANTA CLARA, Calif. &mdash;(Business Wire)&mdash; Jul. 21, 2008 By improving all the technologies involved in the manufacture of LEDs, OSRAM development engineers have achieved new records for the brightness and efficiency of white LEDs in the laboratory. Under standard conditions with an operating current of 350 mA, brightness peaked at a value of 155 lm, and efficiency at 136 lm/W. In generating these results, researchers used white prototype LEDs with 1 mm-square chips. The light produced had a color temperature of 5000K, with color coordinates at 0.349/0.393 (cx/cy).</p> <p>The key to OSRAM's success was the efficient interplay among all the advances made in materials and technologies. A perfectly matched system of optimized chip technology, a highly advanced and extremely efficient light converter, and a special high-performance package all combined to produce the world record performance results.</p> <p>Potential applications for this high-performance LED technology include general illumination, the automotive sector, and any application that calls for large, high-power LEDs. These semiconductor light sources are also suitable for high operating currents. At 1.4 A, they can produce up to 500 lm of white light. This means that in the future the LEDs can also be used for projection applications as blue and green chip versions.</p> <p>Dr. Rudiger Muller, CEO at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, commented: "It was the successful convergence of OSRAM know-how in different fields that led to these new records in efficiency and brightness. Starting with the light converter, we will be gradually moving these new developments into production." OSRAM has already applied for patents for the technologies that lie behind these world record performance levels </p></blockquote> <p>Since Osram says plans are now to move this tech from the lab into production, we can certainly expect to see LEDs in even more places in the future.

The most important tweaks are doubling the internal storage from 16GB to 32GB and the addition of a 24Mbps high quality MXP imaging mode. Otherwise, most features of the camera remain the same. Similar tweaks have been made to last years HG10 HDD camera, adding in the 24Mbps shooting mode, a 120GB drive and now allowing movies to be saved onto SD card whereas before it was limited to still imagery. Both cameras will be available in August for $1,300.

<title><![CDATA[ New York Times: Analysts Aren't So Big On The Netbook Movement [TardTops] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/05/subnotebookconfusion.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" width="494" height="225" style="display:block;float:none;" />Today's New York Times has a trend piece on ULPCs/Netbooks/Nettops/Subnotebooks/Mini PCs/*<em>Insert Buzzword Here</em>* and analysts who fear their low prices will spell doom and gloom for the PC industry. They cite the already low profit margins for PC sales as an example of what could drive computer companies into the red. Naturally success stories like the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/eee">Asus Eee</a>, and the next wave of products like the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5027136/cherrypal-pc-offers-subscription+free-cloud-computing-that-runs-off-two-watts-of-power">CherryPal</a> were name dropped as potential threats, but it hardly seems time to worry.</p> <p>The only concrete example in the article to warrant this concern is the aforementioned lack of profit margins, and there are still plenty of people who need more from their computers other than web browsing and micro-sized keyboards. But hey, if analysts are worried, should the rest of the world be?

<title><![CDATA[ First S60 Touch UI Screenshots Appear, Look Promising [Symbian] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/image1ga1.png" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />A small bunch of S60 Touch UI screens popped up today over at Mobile Royale, and they don't look half bad. The design has big on-screen buttons, clean design, and easy to read menus. The only item of concern is how narrow the header and footer bars are when the OS is in landscape mode. Seems like a breeding ground for repeated tapping. That said, I'm still excited to see the rest of S60 Touch.

<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/10/gps_vs_radar.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />We've been following the story of Shaun Malone, the California teen who was clocked by an officer doing 62MPH in a 45MPH zone, and was issued a ticket for $190. He <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gps-vs-radar/gps-vs-radar-speed-challenge-update-radar-wins-325639.php">took the ticket to trial</a> and <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gps-vs-radar/speeder-argues-that-his-gps-unit-proves-the-police-radar-gun-is-wrong-315783.php">lost</a>, as the state brought in a GPS expert via affidavit who said that the units weren't that accurate. The teen appealed, however, and the same expert revised his testimony on the stand, saying the device was accurate to within 1MPH. The device in question had the capability of emailing the teen's parents if he ever went above 70MPH, and also logged all other speeds. These logs were used and the judge found enough reason to throw out the original conviction, and will rule in October on the matter that may have far-reaching effects. The real question now is why did the trooper's radar gun think the speed was 33% faster than it actually was?

<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/Untitled-1.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"/>A couple of weeks ago we <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5022156/hdtvs-have-hidden-feature-poison-gas">brought you the shocking news</a> that your LCD HDTV probably contained a nefarious gas called Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3) that was far more harmful to the environment than many other sources, including CO2. The Linde Group, who manufactures many of the LCD panels used in several popular LCD HDTVs, says that they've tweaked their manufacturing operations to use Fluorine instead of Nitrogen Trifluoride, replacing the dangerous gas with a fairly harmless one.

<title><![CDATA[ Optimus Pultius is a Leaner, Meaner, 15-key LED Pad [Optimus Keypad] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/optimus-pultius.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />Fresh from the Optimus blog is the Optimus Pultius which shrinks the Optimus Maximus down to 15 keys, and is meant as an add-on to your existing keyboard setup. It's expected to be available at the end of 2008 or early 2009. No word on pricing, but hopefully a 30 year mortgage won't be a requirement.

<title><![CDATA[ Hi-Tech Shoes For Ladies Have Heel Height Extenders [Ladies Shoes] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/g2s2.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />Thankfully just a concept for now, the Goodie 2 Shoe is an idea in function, and definitely not in form. They're ugly, sure, but they have a neat trick: the heel is adjustable with magnets and hidden hinges, so a 1.5-inch heel suitable for work gets extended to a come-hither 3.5-inch for going out. Other parts can be customized, much like the latest <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5025120/sidekick-2008-images-appear-bigger-and-clearer">Sidekick</a>. Personally, we'd be confused if we saw an attractive lady in these shoes. It shows she's got a geek's mind, but also a geek's taste, which is not always what we're looking for. Still, we hope these appear on Lady Robocop in the 2010 remake. [<a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-9995767-1.html">Crave</a>]</p> <br style="clear: both;"/>

Above is an astonishing video of one such device in action, a medical model that helps a quadriplegic man walk for the first time in twenty years. The exoskeletons are still in development, with the one in the video a prototype that's about to undergo US trials. If this is what an early model can do, can you imagine where we'll be in ten years with the technology? Here's hoping the FDA finds a way to speed these through approval.

He's a friend who I've come to rely on as a sounding board for Apple rumors at 3am or any other obscene time of day, so I'm glad to see him being recognized with a profile in the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/21/technology/21blogger.html?hp">NYT</a>.

Golden Shellback says it will protect against oils, water-based liquids, synthetic fluids, dust and dirt. <a href="http://revision3.com/tekzilla/">Tekzilla's</a> Patrick Norton shot a segment on Golden Shellback and has footage of cellphones and CB radios functioning normally under a foot of water (Golden Shellback claimed the CB sat underwater for 455 consecutive hours). </p> <p>Apparently, the coating is applied in a vacuum and covers both the inner and outer components of a gadget, which doesn't conduct electricity. Golden Shellback hopes the protective coating will be available soon, and expect the service to cost between $50-$75 depending on the size of the gadget. But seeing is believing, so you should watch the video, which is borderline mindblowing.

<title><![CDATA[ Michael Arrington Wants Help Designing a $200 Open Source Internet Tablet [Tablets] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/07/arringtontablet.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" width="560" height="446" style="display:block;float:none;" />Michael Arrington wants a $200 touchscreen internet tablet. So do a lot of people. Unlike a lot of people, Arrington is loaded and runs TechCrunch. So he's taking it into his own hands and putting out a call for people to help him design a cheapo open source touchscreen tablet that would launch right into Firefox. Nothing fancy, just something to let you surf the web while you're sitting on the can.</p> <p>Here's the basic idea:<br></p> <blockquote>Here’s the basic idea: The machine is as thin as possible, runs low end hardware and has a single button for powering it on and off, headphone jacks, a built in camera for video, low end speakers, and a microphone. It will have Wifi, maybe one USB port, a built in battery, half a Gigabyte of RAM, a 4-Gigabyte solid state hard drive. Data input is primarily through an iPhone-like touch screen keyboard. It runs on linux and Firefox. It would be great to have it be built entirely on open source hardware, but including Skype for VOIP and video calls may be a nice touch, too.</blockquote> <p>He's looking for people to help spec out the hardware and write the custom Firefox and Linux code for it. If you help, you'll be handsomely rewarded with a first-run edition of the to-be-named device if and when it ever becomes a reality.</p> <p>Will it actually happen? I'm not sure, but it sounds pretty good to me. We'll see. [<a href="http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/07/21/help-us-build-a-200-web-tablet/">CrunchGear</a>]</p> <br style="clear: both;"/>

Major Nelson just posted a video of him going through it, showing off just how it's going to work. Essentially, it looks exactly like the interface on the <a href=" http://gizmodo.com/389698/first-netflix-streaming-box-review-100-and-unlimited-downloads">Roku Netflix box</a>. </p> <p>You can't search through the entire Netflix database, instead needing to add movies you want to watch to your instant queue. It's a bit annoying, but as you can add as many movies you want to the queue, not that big a deal. If you own an Xbox 360 and bought a Roku box, however, get that thing to eBay ASAP, as you won't be using it anymore come this fall.

<title><![CDATA[ Music On Cassette Tape Is Still the Bomb...If You're In Prison [Prison Tapes] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/cassettes.png" style="display:block;" />Los Angeles mail order catalog Pack Central may have found the last untapped pocket of consumers willing to pay retail for their music on physical formats—the cellblocks of our great nation's prisons. And not just any format—turns out, music on cassette is the only way to get tunes that isn't screened out as a potential deadly weapon. Wait, they still sell new music on cassettes?</p> <p>Apparently so. Weezy's "Tha Carter III," Usher's "Here I Stand" and Mariah Carey's "E=MC2" are all among Pack Central's current best selling tapes. If you're man enough to rock the new Mariah Carey on cassette in the slammer, my hat's off to you—I only feel comfortable singling you out from the safe confines of the internet.</p> <p>Anyway, CDs are apparently too easy to splinter into a shiv (for disciplining the dude who laughed at your Mariah tapes), and the company even has to remove the metal screws from their tapes before shipping them out to get by the screeners (you guys make a good point <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5027511/music-on-cassette-tape-is-still-the-bombif-youre-in-prison#viewcomments">below</a>, though—I guess the cassette shivs are not as worrisome). The guy who keeps all those 20-year-old Walkmen in operating condition must be swimming in bartered cigarettes.

<title><![CDATA[ GPS-Like System Being Developed For Moon Astronauts [Moon Travel] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/lasois.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />When astronauts finally <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5021748/how-the-new-mission-to-the-moon-will-work">get back to the moon</a> sometime between now and 2020, they will have an advantage that their predecessors did not—GPS. Well, it's not technically GPS given the fact that there are no satellites orbiting the moon, but the astronauts may not know the difference. The new system being developed by Ohio State researcher Ron Li will "rely on signals from a set of sensors including lunar beacons, stereo cameras, and orbital imaging sensors" to simulate GPS.</p> <blockquote> <p>Li explained how the system will work: images taken from orbit will combine with images from the surface to create maps of lunar terrain; motion sensors on lunar vehicles and on the astronauts themselves will allow computers to calculate their locations; signals from lunar beacons, the lunar lander, and base stations will give astronauts a picture of their surroundings similar to what drivers see when using a GPS device on Earth. The researchers have named the entire system the Lunar Astronaut Spatial Orientation and Information System (LASOIS)</p> </blockquote> <p>NASA has awarded Li a $1.2 million grant to develop the LASOIS system over the next three years. He hopes that it will help the astronauts explore the lunar surface with a greater degree of confidence and avoid the stress that comes with getting lost. After all, losing your bearings on the moon is a far cry from taking the wrong exit on the highway. [<a href="http://www.physorg.com/news135872367.html">Physorg</a>]</p> <br style="clear: both;"/>

<title><![CDATA[ Apple Earnings: Record Quarter, Steve Promises "Wonderful New Products" This Year [Apple] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/04/Jobs_Number_1.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"/> Last quarter was the best June quarter in Apple's history in both earnings and profits, but the real news is that Steve actually promised new products later this year: “We set a new record for Mac sales, we think we have a real winner with our new iPhone 3G, and we’re busy <strong>finishing several more wonderful new products to launch in the coming months</strong>.” Apple <strong>never</strong> comments on future products in any way, shape or form. Ever ever. Whether he's alleviating <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/07212008/business/apple_a_day_talk_120853.htm">investor worries</a> or just feeling especially open, it's a rare, if not totally unheard of Apple move. Check out how much money Apple's bean counters are dealing with and speculate what new toys are on the way below.</p> <blockquote><p>Apple Reports Record Third Quarter Results<br /> Revenue Up 38 Percent Year-Over-Year<br /> Mac Sales Reach All-Time High</p> <p>CUPERTINO, California—July 21, 2008—Apple® today announced financial results for its fiscal 2008 third quarter ended June 28, 2008. The Company posted revenue of $7.46 billion and net quarterly profit of $1.07 billion, or $1.19 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $5.41 billion and net quarterly profit of $818 million, or $.92 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 34.8 percent, down from 36.9 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 42 percent of the quarter’s revenue.</p> <p>Apple shipped 2,496,000 Macintosh® computers during the quarter, representing 41 percent unit growth and 43 percent revenue growth over the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 11,011,000 iPods during the quarter, representing 12 percent unit growth and seven percent revenue growth over the year-ago quarter. Quarterly iPhone™ units sold were 717,000 compared to 270,000 in the year-ago-quarter.</p> <p>“We’re proud to report the best June quarter for both revenue and earnings in Apple’s history,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We set a new record for Mac sales, we think we have a real winner with our new iPhone 3G, and we’re busy finishing several more wonderful new products to launch in the coming months.”</p> <p>“We’re extremely pleased with the growth of our business and the generation of almost $5.4 billion in cash in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008,” said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple’s CFO. “Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, we expect revenue of about $7.8 billion and earnings per diluted share of about $1.00.”</p> <p>Apple will provide live streaming of its Q3 2008 financial results conference call utilizing QuickTime®, Apple’s standards-based technology for live and on-demand audio and video streaming.

<title><![CDATA[ Kevlar Body Armor Could Soon Repel Germs [Not Just For Bullets] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/bullet-proof-vest.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />If researchers are successful, Kevlar-based armor will soon be able to protect the wearer from more dangers than bullets and fire. Yuyu Sun and Jie Luo of the University of South Dakota have discovered a way to coat Kevlar with a substance called acyclic N-Halamine. After testing it against "E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida tropicalis (a fungus), MS2 virus, and Bacillus subtilis spores (to mimic anthrax)," they discovered that the coating prevented these microorganisms from sticking to the Kevlar fabric.</p> <p>The idea of making <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/nanoparticles/glitterati-10000-clothing-with-palladium-and-silver-nanoparticles-destroys-viruses-germs-and-smog-257887.php">fabrics germ-resistant</a> is nothing new, but it is obvious that applying this technology to Kevlar products has more practical applications than simply servicing the world's hypochondriacs. Further tests are needed, but so far Kevlar and acyclic N-Halamine seem to be getting along quite nicely.

<title><![CDATA[ How to Tether Your iPhone 3G to Your Laptop [IPhone 3G] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/iphone-tether-head.png" style="display:block;" />While Apple doesn't allow tethering with the iPhone 3G, if <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5027016/iphone-pwnage-tool-20-now-available-jailbreak-and-unlock">it's jailbroken</a>, they can't tell you what to do, can they? After it's jailbroken, getting your tether on is surprisingly easy. All you need is a pair of programs, 3proxy and MobileTerminal. Create an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network with your notebook, join it with your iPhone, perform a bit of beginner's voodoo with MobileTerminal and your browser, and voila, you're cruising on AT&T's 3G network on your laptop via your iPhone. It really is easy, but be careful, if AT&T notices your data usage is wonky, they will probably rape you with massive fees. Good luck, and Godspeed.

This isn't a simple first-come first-served deal, however; you need to justify why you deserve one. People who work in emergency services or the media (ahem) get first dibs (as do Al Gore and Angelina Jolie for some reason), but I bet if you're creative you can talk your way into a free flashlight as well. Tell 'em Giz sent ya. Shoot them an email at <a href="info@sunnightsolar.com">info@sunnightsolar.com</a> with your reasoning and they'll let you know whether or not you made the cut. Tip: don't just say you like free stuff, ya jackass.

<title><![CDATA[ Even on EDGE, Mobile Safari 2.0 Is Much Faster [Mobile Safari] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/safari.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"/>The iPhone 2.0 software might be shakier than a true believer's legs in the presence of Steve himself, but there's at least one benefit (besides the app goodness): Mobile Safari 2.0 is much zoomier. John Gruber ran the benchmarks, comparing them against historical ones, and found that it runs <em>at least</em> 1.7 times faster than before, if not faster (depending on the test). Check out all the numbers over there, if you care about the details, and not just the zip zip away.

<title><![CDATA[ Nokia Responds to Batphone Allegations [Batphone] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/bat_car_phone.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />Remember the fancy cellphone in The Dark Knight? It was that touchscreen Nokia that Morgan Freeman was carrying around all like, "Look at me, I'm so cool, I'm Batman's boss as well as the narrator behind many popular films." Some people (OK, CrunchGear) think that it might be the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/377655/first-pictures-of-nokia-tube-iphone-killer-allegedly">Nokia Tube</a> (we were too busy making "pew pew" noises in the seats to notice). Nokia, however, is denying it.</p> <blockquote> <p>In the summer blockbuster, The Dark Knight, a Nokia device is prominently featured. We worked closely with the producers of The Dark Knight to develop an appropriate device that would suit the technology-savvy character of Batman. The Nokia device used in the film is not a commercial product&mdash;at this point.</p> </blockquote> <p>So paraphrased, that reads "Yeah, we made the world's most awesome phone for the world's most awesome movie, wouldn't you be lucky to buy it?" So even if it's not the Tube, the phone certainly has that "might go on sale" ring to it.

<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/vaka.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />Vaka's concept for lightbulbs revolves around silicon orbs that you squeeze to turn the light on/off, or twist to make the light dimmer or brighter. But the bulbs are also chargeable, meaning you can remove them from the fixture and take them wherever light is needed...like those village raids against the local vampire.

<title><![CDATA[ Tooth Lasers Could Make Drilling a Thing of the Past [Dentophobia] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/raman_spectroscopy_for_teeth.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"/>For some people, just the sound of a dental drill is enough to cause panic—but the good news is that this barbaric procedure may be a thing of the past. UK researchers have developed a technology that is based on Raman spectroscopy (a method that is currently used to identify chemicals) to spot tooth decay before it begins. A new study has determined that harmful bacteria can be detected by analyzing how light is scattered when a laser is fired at the tooth. </p> <p>This method would make it possible to detect damage much faster than X-rays, nipping the problem in the bud before drilling is necessary. The testing is ongoing, but the researchers hope that the lasers could be available commercially within the next five years. Of course, you would have to actually go to the dentist on a regular basis to benefit from the procedure, so my guess is that drilling won't disappear anytime soon.

<title><![CDATA[ Toshiba and Matsushita to Start Cranking Out OLEDs in Massive Numbers [Displays] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/11/Benny_and_the_OLEDs.jpg" style="display:block;" />Toshiba and Matsushita's joint display group is about to become the first Japanese firm to jump into the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/oled/">OLED</a> production game, and in a big way—their announced factory will begin producing as many as one million 2.5-inch OLED panels per month when it comes online in the fall of next year. What could they be up to? OLED iPods perhaps?</p> <p>It's pretty far down the road for any serious speculation, but rumors of an OLED-equipped iPod which would use less power by eliminating the backlight and offer better color reproduction have been flying for a while. And the 2.5-inch size matches what's currently found on the iPod classic, <del>as well as the Zune 80</del> (Zune 80 uses a 3.2 inch screen, thanks Marx). Autumn 2009 is a long way off, and these could just end up in one of many OLED-equipped phones or PMPs already out there, so don't hold your breath on this one.

<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/slipnslide_01.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />We love our jobs here at Gizmodo. But every once in a while even we find something more interesting than the latest breakthroughs in USB-powered humping animals. <em>Impossible</em>, you say? Not when it comes to a gigantic homemade Slip 'N Slide. It's tough to scale the slides' exact size, but it looks to drop a solid two stories before depositing its riders in the lake.

<title><![CDATA[ Hack Your Point-and-Shoot into a Time Lapse Camera [Digital Cameras] ]]></title>
<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/haxcam.jpg" style="display:block;" />CamTim is a hack that'll let you use any digital camera with a remote control for time-lapse photography. It's not super-easy, but it won't make you cry (probably). It's basically a board you program to buzz the camera's remote button at whatever interval you want. Using a ZigBee module, you can also set it up to run wirelessly, which is pretty handy for long-term spying... on birds.

<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/nes-lightgun.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />Modders these days seem to be fascinated with putting the old school NES where it doesn't belong—like <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/a-nes-gets-crammed-into-a-nes-controller-229097.php">controllers</a> and <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5022343/nes-cartridge-modded-into-nes-system-with-screen-space+time-at-risk-again">cartridges</a>. At least those mods made sense in some way—I mean this version isn't even the official NES light gun. It's a Super Joy knockoff. Still, kudos to the modder for stuffing your big NES into a tiny cavity. We are all soooo impressed.

<description><p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/07/xpx-xbox-360.JPG" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"/>If you are one of the very few people on this planet who are simultaneously shopping for a $3000 gaming laptop and an Xbox 360—today is your lucky day. Dell is throwing an Elite bundle into their top-of-the-line XPS M1730 system until July 24th. While it is not completely free, it is definitely going to save you some money vs. buying the two items separately. So, even if you are a die-hard PC gamer, you could probably turn the Elite bundle for a profit.
