Gizmodo Buzz Index: Blu-Ray Vs. HD-DVD

Gizmodo Buzz Index: Blu-Ray Vs. HD-DVD 09/23/2004 09:01 AM

Gizmodo Buzz Index: The most accurate graphs since cavemen first scratched pie charts into the walls of French caves. The upcoming high-definition format war is heating up, with Sony and company backing the Blu-Ray format (Sony confirmed yesterday - to no one's surprise - that the Playstation 3 would in fact use Blu-Ray discs), while NEC and Toshiba (and Microsoft?) is pushing the competeting HD-DVD standard. There's not a clear winner yet - the standards are just dipping a toe in the market at the moment - but for now, it looks like Blu-Ray is winning the GBI by a large margin. HD-DVD really needs a major product backing it now. How about Xbox 2?

Update: Reader Damian Roskill makes a good point that both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are planning to use Microsoft's hi-def codec, so Big M is (rightly) hedging its bets at the moments. In a way, that makes the format choice of the Xbox 2 even more interesting.

Gizmodo Year in Review: May

But as is becoming usual for Gizmodo contests, we're going to make you work for it.

Gizmodo on automated circumcision device

Gizmodo on automated circumcision device 07/08/2004 05:32 AM
Gizmodo has posted a screamingly funny review/commentary of a new automated circumcision device:

I'm a penis slicer luddite, I know, but no, for real, no. So why do the people that make SmartKlamp think that -- when I wouldn't let a robot, which can maneuver with mathematical precision, touch me -- I would use a Bris-O-Matic on my or my progeny's spurters? Is there a market need here? Are scapel-wielding doctors and rabbis not fast enough to get the job done? Is there a worldwide circumcision shortage?

Oh, and getting the demonstration girls to help you figure out how to use them is a definite bonus.

Gizmodo Year in Review: March

Gizmodo Year in Review: March 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

What a year it's been in gadgetry! Just 12 short months ago, I was blissfully sleeping in, rising only to attend state-mandated skill focus classes. Yet your unwavering appetite for plastic-clad consumer gear pressed me into service, like a fireman who ignores his high score in Bubble Bobble to rescue a burning baby, or the food engineer who developed Wendy's Wild Mountain Spicy Chicken sandwich to address America's flavor cravings. As we prepare ourselves for next week's electronics orgy of CES, let us take a moment to reflect on the highs and lows of our shiny love affair together, month by month, as we pull out notable and favorite posts from the last 3,500 some-odd articles from this year's Gizmodo.

Gizmodo Year in Review: April

Gizmodo Year in Review: April 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

In April, Sony announced its intentions to produce a hard disk-based music player. At the time, we didn't know it would be awful.

I also got sort of upset when Gametrac changed the name of their still-unreleased handheld gaming system to Gizmondo. I also maybe implied they helped child molesters find children to touch.

It was a month of personal development for me, as I learned that perpetual motion is actually impossible, even for the Chinese.

Gizmodo Year in Review: June

Gizmodo Year in Review: June 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

June brought the first cellphone worm for Nokia Series 60 phones, a minor threat but a story that will likely be huge in 2005, as more malicious variants appear. We also learned about the $6,700 power cord, and I had to prevent myself from commiting suicide at the news.

Sony mentions plans for a PSP/Phone hybrid, although nothing comes of it (yet). Comdex dies. Girls pee while standing. Sidekick II appears (then breaks my heart).

We get the world's first information about the iPod Your BMW system, making us an actual news site for almost 24 hours. The phone known as the Treo Ace appears, later released as the Treo 650.

MIB MP3 Alarm Clock

MIB MP3 Alarm Clock 04/01/2005 10:59 AM

Continuing with the USB memory news today is MIB and their "Wakeup+" alarm clock. The Wakeup+ really isn't the first time we've seen an alarm clock that supports playback of MP3, but it may be the first time we've seen it done right. It supports the USB On-The-Go standard, so you can plug USB memory devices right into the port found on the reverse of the unit. MIB has also confirmed the clock to work with the iPod mini and iPod shuffle.

Alarm clock that hides

Alarm clock that hides 03/29/2005 08:54 PM
David Pescovitz: Clocky is an alarm clock that hides when you hit its snooze button. It was developed by Gauri Nanda at the MIT Media Lab. From the project description:

When the alarm clock goes off and the snooze button is pressed, Clocky will roll off the bedside table and wheel away, bumping mindlessly into objects on the floor until it eventually finds a spot to rest. Minutes later, when the alarm sounds again, the sleeper must get up out of bed and search for Clocky. This ensures that the person is fully awake before turning it off. Small wheels that are concealed by Clocky's shag enable it to move and reposition itself, and an internal processor helps it find a new hiding spot every day.

I don't like being told when to wake up but I've come to terms with the idea that I have to. In designing Clocky, I was in part inspired by kittens I've had that would bite my toes every morning.

Gizmodo being the family-oriented, award-winning weblog that it is, I'm disinclined to tell you what I first thought the Clocky looked like. On closer inspection, that's carpet, although Gauri Nanda might've done better with a more vibrant color. Regardless, Clocky rolls off your nightstand, bounces off your startled dog and finds a new place to hide once you press the snooze button. Maybe one day, we'll have an alarm clock that just crawls on your chest and wets itself. We can dream, can't we?

Classic, modern style. Smooth, refined form. Oh, and possibly the most obnoxious feature set possible in an alarm clock (aside from a clock that actually flees away from you): You must complete a jigsaw puzzle to deactivate the alarm. No cord to cut, since it's battery operated, and "recommended for ages 3 or over"—really, anyone old enough to wield a hammer.

It addition to the ability to 'Wake to iPod,' the iH5 also features the standard AM/FM radio and alarms you've learned to hate.

Hilton Hotels are rolling out new radio alarm clocks to their rooms, complete with a line-in jack for plugging in your MP3 player. In addition, the new units are supposed to be a lot easier to set yourself, and can wake you up with the sound of one of four pre-set radio stations instead of the jarring clang of the hotel wake-up call (although, I sort of like that, especially when the friendly robot calls).

Of course, it'd be cooler if the clock could wake you up with your music, but that would probably morph into 'iPod only.' Line-in is the future!

Cory Doctorow: The difference between being woken from a dream and woken from light sleep is the difference between a rotten wake up and an easy one -- for me at least. I have long dreamt (heh) of an alarm clock that is smart enough to tell the difference, and now I've found one:

The clock, called SleepSmart, measures your sleep cycle, and waits for you to be in your lightest phase of sleep before rousing you. Its makers say that should ensure you wake up feeling refreshed every morning.

Motorola V3 "Razor" Reviewed

Motorola V3 "Razor" Reviewed 07/26/2004 02:18 PM

Mobile-Review has a breakdown of the new Motorola V3 "Razor" phone, an almost all-metal clamshell that surprisingly doesn't forego a lot of features to reach its tiny size. Similar in function to the v600, the titanium-clad V3 is still fairly wide, but manages to remain less than 14mm thin in profile even with lots of built-in features (like Bluetooth).

To launch this September between $650 and $750, this spiritual successor to the StarTac is yet another hot phone from Motorola that manages to waltz into a crowded phone market and instantly make its own segment. It may be small, but I expect sales of the V3 to be big (I can't believe I just wrote that).
