Sharp: Thin, Wireless and X-rated!

Think you can’t have a flat-panel TV because you can’t get the wiring from your components to your TV? Is lack of running an HDMI cable keeping your Blu-ray player blue? Today, Sharp announced, “Yes!” or probably more accurately, “Hai!” to wireless HD video transmission. With their forthcoming X-series line-up of LCD sets, Sharp teamed with AMIMON to wirelessly beam 2-million glorious pixels through thin air. 

No more sick touchpanels!

Don’t you hate it when people come over to your house and they get their grubby hands all over your perfectly clean touchscreens? Or if they grab your brand new iTouch and start. . . touching!!! I mean, you don’t know where their hands have been! At some point, they have gone to the bathroom, and do you want to face the bacterial Russian roulette of whether they did or didn’t wash? And let’s face it, no one want to catch Mad Cow from browsing their music collection.

Before you lock yourself away and start collecting jars of urine like Howard Hughes, invest in a bottle of Monster's newly formulated ScreenClean!

Velcro. . .secret to world's thinnest TV mount!

I’m not gonna lie; it’s nice to be proven right. For the “CES 2008 in Perspective” article, I wrote, “Note to flat-panel wall-mount manufacturers: 2-inch-thick mounts aren't going to cut it anymore. Start working on new designs now!”

And today, flat-panel mount manufacturer, Peerless Industries, heeded my words by unveiling a new line of ultra-thin mounts. Their new Slimline mounts hug sets a scant .4-inches from the wall! (That’s about the thickness of a CD jewel case if anybody remembers what those are.)

Old-School MP3 Player

Have you been looking for a way to recapture the glory days of your youth that doesn’t involve Botox or having someone cut and paste your face back together? Do you want to return to the days of big hair, glam rock and synthesized sounds that were the '80s but don’t have the flux capacitor and 1.21 gigawatts needed for a quick trip back in time? The folks at ThinkGeek.com have you covered.

Kaleidescape price drop! Cash in your stocks!

Few products invoke the raw, carnal “I must have you!” lust like Kaleidescape. They invented the concept of the DVD movie server and then wrapped it in an interface that would get Steve Jobs hot and bothered. Let’s face it; their system is awesome. And I don’t care about that computer that you’ve Franken-modded together to kind of be like a Kaleidescape. Face it: It’s not a Kaleidescape.

Oh, but the sexy-sexy joys of Kaleidescape ownership has always come with a price. That price being a wallet clutching, credit card melting, take-out-a-third-mortgage-on-your-sub-prime-loan price tag that many found excruciating. Rejoice, for Kaleidescape has heard your cries and finally answered them in the form of a price drop.
