Officially-Licensed Street Fighter IV HDTV

Posted in HDTV by Conner Flynn on May 24th, 2010

These Street Fighter IV TVs are just like any normal HDTV, but you get an 8-second SFIV image when you turn it on and there’s also the game’s logo at the bottom. Sure, that justifies spending a ton of money for a new TV. No word on pricing yet, but the series will probably include a 22″, 32″, 42″, and 55″ LCD HDTV, along with a 40″ and 46″ LED HDTV, just like with their previous Marvel series.

It doesn’t even make sense for a kid’s room, because eventually they grow up. But hey, what do I know? If it showed me Comic Book babes, I’d probably go for it.

Velcro makes the iPad even more versatile

Posted in iPad by Conner Flynn on May 23rd, 2010

This is the kind of forehead slappin duh innovation that we love to see around here. It’s so simple, we wish we had thought of it. When you attach velcro to your shiny new iPad, it turns Apple’s portable tablet into a wall-mountable hands-free display, but that’s not all.

With velcro there are probably hundreds of new ways to use the iPad. How about as a GPS unit mounted on your motorcycle’s gas tank? Risky for your iPad, but it works. Jesse Rosten demonstrates some interesting uses of velcro in the below video.
