HP Envy 17 3D and Envy 14 Beats Edition Announced
The HP Envy series has always been an item of interest to me since the launch of the Envy 13 and 15. At first, they were just Macbook Pro clones, but with the introduction of the Envy 17 and Envy 14 (and now the 17 3D and 14 Beats), it’s clear that HP is now trying to do something very different and more impressive. First off, the Envy 17 3D is basically a stock Envy 17 with an AMD powered 3D technology slapped on. It comes with the shutter glasses and will support 3D Blu-Ray discs at launch.





Watch the Apple iPod keynote from yesterday »
Apple’s iPod keynote was pretty cool, and they delivered on a lot of what we wanted. An iPod touch with a camera, an iPod Nano with a touchscreen and a brand new Apple TV. There’s nothing awful to say about the event, except that part when Steve rocks out to Glee. Good work Apple, have a cookie!





Video - Inception Sound Design
When you see a professionally made movie, you don’t usually think about all the work that goes into it. Of course you need good actors, good special effects, and good directing. But the one thing that is always over looked, especially by independent films, is sound. One scene of a movie can have hundreds of sound effects and tracks of audio.
This video is an inside look at the sound design behind the hit movie Inception. Within the next couple of weeks we will be having an inside look at sound design of some of Hollywoods top films.
The new Apple TV only supports 720p video?
Unlike most people, I myself own an Apple TV at my home and I love it. I store all my movies and music on my iMac and then watch all the movies I want on my TV thanks to Apple TV. I was so excited to see the latest update because it was small, a good price, and finally had Netflix. As I was strolling through the tech specs though, I found that it clearly states up to 720p and nothing about 1080p!





So, what's the deal with iTunes Ping? »
“Jobs described Ping as “sort of like Facebook and Twitter meets iTunes.” You can follow your favorite artists to keep up with tour schedules and new album or song releases. You can also follow your friends to see what music they are listening to and downloading, or even what concerts they are going to.” — Ars Technica
