Last week, a federal district court in New York approved a settlement declaring that people who bought certain models of rear-projection DLP TVs from Toshiba between January 1, 2004, and September 18, 2008, are eligible for cash refunds.
The class-action lawsuit, Ersler v. Toshiba of America Inc., had a claim that Toshiba ‘knowingly misrepresented the life span of the bulbs in the lamps contained in the lamp assembly component of its 2004 and 2005 DLP television models.’ If true, this would mean the sale of the TVs had brought about a ‘breach of express and implied warranties,’ and a violation of …

Over the last four years, TVBLOB, an Italian-based company with a funny name, has sought to bring about the most comprehensive software of web-based features on a TV set.
At this week’s CeBit conference in Germany, TVBLOB finally unveiled the first IPTV media box packing that software, the BLOBBox. Judging by the initial specs, it might be too ambitious for its own good and might end up swallowing some engineers by the whole.
The BLOBBox is like an Apple TV on steroids. It’s a media player/video recorder that connects to TVs and has a 160 GB hard drive, a DTT …

Pretec has been busy. The flash memory company (whose site ironically relies heavily on Adobe Flash) has, among other things, built the world’s first SDXC card (the 2TB capable cards we saw at CES) and the world’s first miCARD (a teeny, tiny memory card).
But the most startling achievements are both on show at the PMA in Las Vegas — a 100GB Compact Flash card and a 666x Compact Flash card (itself a healthy 64GB in size).
The theoretical speed limit for CF cards is 133MB/sec. The new 666x card manages an astounding 100MB/sec, and Pretec rather proudly boasts that it “will …

 
Before you click the play button, take a second to consider the idea behind this video. The project consists of a big screen HDTV laid flat on its back with smaller LCD display at the back. The whole shebang is showing a pinball simulation running the Future Pinball engine. In effect, you have a life-sized pinball game.
It sounds great. But wait til you see the video — it is actually awesome. Awesome, that is, until the maker BadBoyBill gets rather distracted and starts dicking around with both the tables and the video camera. In fact, it kind of reminds us …

Buyers of Panasonic’s diminutive Micro Four Thirds “SLR” – the G1 – needn’t panic. The updated version has been announced today and brings little more than a few incremental changes.
The headline feature of the GH1 is that, like almost every other camera these days, it shoots HD video (1080p at 24fps or 720p at 60fps). The difference is that, unlike DSLRs which can capture movies, the GH1 will continue to auto-focus as you shoot.
A newly announced Lumix lens also helps out. The G VARIO HD 14-140mm ƒ4.0-5.8 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S not only has the word “mega” in its name, it …

Finally — finally! — the camera market is changing. Instead of merely hyping megapixel counts, camera manufacturers are starting to add some exciting new features that will actually help you take better pictures.
We have, of course, been whining about the quality problems of zillion-megapixel cams for a while now. The irony is that the manufacturers feel the same way, telling us that they keep upping the pixel-counts because of customer demand.
Between you and us though, dear reader, we’ve managed to spread the gospel to the masses. Demand is shifting, and things are getting exciting. What can we expect to see …

Problems with faulty Nvidia graphics chips that caused large numbers of notebook computers to fail last year may not be over yet — at least for some.
Some HP users are complaining that their laptops, which were not included in the company’s official list of affected machines, are facing problems similar to what other users experienced last year.
"When I boot up my laptop, it says there’s no driver and I can’t install one. That means my machine locks up and shuts down," says Dana Hight, a HP notebook user who runs a web development company. "It is clearly related to …

Berlin is a curious place, a city with an extraordinary amount of layered textures. This is most obvious in the bars and streets, where you see old, peeling walls and graffiti alongside organic produce and gleaming coffee machines. It is also seen in the city’s tech, most interesting of which is left over from previous ages. Here’s a quick zip through some of the things I saw recently on yet another trip to the city. And we know that Berlin has an East and a West. These pictures are from the East.
