Now this is something that you don’t get to see everyday. The carrier that is famously scared of dark magic 3G network overload is allowing a famous dark sorceror app that know for data hogging (bad joojoo) thanks to its streaming nature! Yeah, AT&T is allowing SlingPlayer to work over 3G! It is hence lifting the artificial WiFi-only limitation that AT&T forced on the iPhone version of the player when it was first launched last year.

You know, when in grade school you saw this cool thing the other kid had and you wanted one too? At that age, it is sometimes hard to accept that some kids’ parents can give them expensive things and your parents simply can’t. So you may be do some DIY thing and try to impress everyone with the results. But no one pays much attention to your handy work because what the other kid has is the real deal. I think Samsung has been feeling like the left out kid in terms of smartphones, which is why they have come up with their own mobile OS.

Here they are, just as the rumor mills promised us. Okay, not exactly as they had promised us. Still no Blu-ray but we do have a new quad core iMac, a (sub) 1k MacBook, updated Mac Minis and the whole new Magic Mouse that replaces the Mighty Mouse. They lost the trademark anyway. Head over to the other side for the full spiel on the new Macs.

There’s a hidden tech geek in all of us that yearns to be free. Free from storage limitations, from bad coding, from closed source and from wires. Wires are constantly tying you down, literally. You can only move a few inches before you risk yanking the cable and upsetting hundreds, may be thousands of dollars worth of gear.

Thankfully, wireless products just keep on getting better and better as the days go by. Bluetooth used to be really hot a few years back. It still is desirable but with even mobile devices getting WLAN and WiFi now, the wireless game is about to change considerably. Wireless HIDs (Human Interface Devices) are also getting better with better range and lower errors.

Today we look at two very different wireless devices that are united by a common underlying principle – ease of use. One is the Logitech M505 Wireless Mouse and the other is the Asus RT-N13U router. If you have been looking for a wireless mouse and/or an easy to setup home/office router/printer server or are just plain curious with time to kill, read on.

In a world were there is such a thing as the Internet, it is very hard to ensure that sensitive information is not leaked to the whole wide world. This is especially true when the said Internet is coupled with handheld camera-enabled devices. As the sizes of these things diminish, spy shots become rampant.

Nowhere is it as true as in the wonderful world of technology. As we wait with baited breath for the next gadget-licious wonder from the haloed halls of our favorite manufacturers, we are more than willing to pounce at the slightest hint of leaked information and spy shots. May be it is the voyeur in us that revels in such situations. But when it comes to highly anticipated technology, it is more likely to be excitement of finally seeing it. Okay, so may be it is both but don’t we all like to indulge in such activities? Why don’t you read on and find out for yourself.

Voice control is not what it used to be at one point. Back in the days when it was first introduced as part of mobile phones and other gadgets, it was still in its nascent stages. At that point, it was nothing more than a gimmick. This I can say from first-hand experience with older Nokia phones. The accuracy was nowhere near usable and well, it was not something you would want to rely upon.

But in the last one or two years, we have a seen surge of devices that are either partially or fully controlled by voice. Some of these devices are quite recent and represent the cutting edge when it comes to implementing voice control. Of course, interactive voice activated telephone services have existed for quite some time now but there’s a difference here. In those systems you can employ large amounts of processing and storage power to make sure that the accuracy is optimum.

But when it comes to smaller gadgets that are mostly portable and handheld it is a different ball game altogether. As developers already know, it is extremely hard to cram so much in to one small device. Still, newer devices with sophisticated voice control are coming out and these are mostly speaker independent. That means the user can be anyone and the device will still respond.

As I was thinking about all this, I decided to see for myself what all gadgets have come out recently that use voice control. Read on for 5 cool gadgets that can be operated by voice.
