  1. Goodness, gracious, on Ikea Unveils Furniture That Charges Your Smartphone Wirelessly · · Score: 1

    Great balls of fire.

  2. It's been extended already on With Community Help, Chrome Could Support Side Tabs Extension · · Score: 1

    Er, I've had this solution (at least as a UI) in extension form: https://chrome.google.com/webs...

  3. Gives new meaning to the word "Air Time" on Using Air to Recharge Your Cell Phone · · Score: 2, Funny

    Replenish your airtime with.. uhm.. some air time!

  4. Re:Ah... I can't... oh no... on Doom 3 Reaches Gold Master, Due August 5th · · Score: 1

    Like Duke said in his first game...

    "I ain't afraid of no Quake!"

    (I'm really looking forward to using my HoloDuke and the jetpack again)

  5. Re:The scary part... on EMI Customer Relations Tells It Like It Is · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the same sort of dynamic with programmers...

  6. Here's another option on Control Digital Audio With Turntables · · Score: 1
    I use Virtual Turntables (a little dated but it works) on a touchcreen laptop. Having an interface you can touch is nice but using a mouse works just as well I've found. And your arms get tired. But it beats carrying around records enough for 4-5 different genres in one bag. Take it camping, have something for all times of the day. :)

  8. Re:Just some more things that weren't mentioned on Live Streaming Network TV Online - in Canada · · Score: 1
    Whoops, I should actually add something that I forgot to put in the first article.

    The percentage of revenue we're setting aside is being put into an account until the appropriate copyright bodies decide how payments of this nature should be made. When the decision is made, the funds will be released to the appropriate parties.

  9. Just some more things that weren't mentioned on Live Streaming Network TV Online - in Canada · · Score: 1

    Firstly, it's amazing to see this pop up on Slashdot. I knew it was going to be big, but to actually see it realized is quite amazing. I actually tried to plug Slashdot a bit during our press conference by bringing it up on the screens while I demonstrated how the player worked. Dunno if it got on any stations, but I thought it would give some a chuckle. :) Omitted from some press reports, but included in others, is the fact that from revenue dollar one, iCraveTV is paying segregated funds, a percentage of revenue, to be distributed to all rights holders by industry-approved copyright collectives. Also, it should be noted that iCraveTV has repeatedly stated its intentions to work with content providers of video, ecommerce, etc. Broadcasters have been loosing market to the Internet for the past 5 years, and not only is iCraveTV helping them to recover some of the market to the benefit of program producers and advertisers as well as broadcasters, it is also creating a significant new market for all manner of content creators. Let's give this convergence thing a Terrance and Phillip-style kick in the ass, eh.
