iTheatre 2007-02-15 11:10:00 Futuristic shades that you can watch movies on are usually the stuff of far-fetched films and episodes of Star Trek. But as with mobile phones, voice-activated computers and cloaking devices (what, haven't you got one?), science fiction has now become science fact.That's because iTheater is a stunningly impressive piece of eyewear that allows you to watch whatever you like whenever you like, in the privacy of your own…erm, head. Simply put on the sleek, lightweight goggles, bung in the integrated earphones and prepare to be totally blown away by a fully immersive audiovisual assault.Ingenious optical trickery causes iTheater's twin TFT LCD monitors to replicate the effect of watching a massive 50″ screen from a distance of 8.5ft. Don't ask us how - apparently it's got something to do with optical alignment, binocular display and pupil size. All we know is the effect is like having a home cinema grafted on to your retinas - amazing! And there's no need to strain because

Launch apps with desired priority setting 2007-02-15 10:31:00 This tweak will launch most executables with the priority
setting you want it to have. Let's say you have a game installed called HIGH NEEDS and the executable is called HN.exe Here's what to do: -Create a new textfile in the game-app wathever-directory (let's say C:HN), but instead of giving it the .txt extension you name it HN.bat-Right-click this file and choose "Edit', you'll see it'll open notepad. Put this line in:cmd /c start /High NH.exe-Save (make sure you save it as .bat, not as .txt) and close. Now create a shortcut to this file and place it on your desktop. Every time you doubleclick this shortcut HIGH NEEDS will open with priority set to "high'.

Samsung Launches Mobile Tracker Phones 2007-02-14 07:09:00 Samsung has just launched 3 new entry-level phone models, the E250, X520 and C140, with MobileTracker
and other security features built-in.Mobile Tracker is a feature that aids in retrieval of stolen mobile phones. When a phone gets stolen and its SIM card is replaced with a new one, the Mobile Tracker feature automatically sends an SMS to two pre-defined numbers that include the number of the new SIM card and the IMEI number of the handset, with which the phone can be tracked with the help of a service provider.The phones also include an Emergency SOS Alert feature, which would come in handy in situations of distress. In an emergency, simple four clicks of one pre-defined key (for eg. 'C') launches the feature which sends out a predefined help SMS to up to 10 numbers. Thereafter, the phone goes into emergency mode and accepts calls only from those 10 numbers. The phone can also receive the call automatically without alert, allowing the caller to listen and find out what's happenin Read more:Samsung

Will Vista Stall The Internet 2007-02-13 15:16:00 You "still" got nothing to worry about? Here I have something for you. Paul Mockapetris, who is widely credited with inventing the Internet
's Domain Name System (DNS), admits that Vista
could slow down traffic on the Internet."If you adopt Vista, your DNS traffic is going to double," Mockapetris said in an interview. With many DNS servers already running close to traffic, this can have serious consequences, he said. "You're going to see brownouts. All of a sudden, it is going to be mud season on the Internet, where things will just be kind of slow and gooey."Mockapetris claims that because Vista simultaneously supports the next-generation IPv6 protocol, as well as the current IPv4, it makes two DNS calls instead of one for every request. That means doubling the load on DNS servers, which in turn means far more sluggish reaction times, including brownouts.Experts support Microsoft and suggest Mockapetris' predictions are related to his role at Nominum, the Redwood City, Calif., vendo Read more:Stall

Changing your background in Orkut 2007-02-15 17:59:00 Although Orkut
's sibling Joga.com gives users the ability to change the appearance of their background
, members of the "deep blue forums" were unable to alter Orkut to their desired taste--that is until GreaseMonkey came along.Many users within the world of Orkut have found ways of altering their screen backgrounds with the aid of GreaseMonkey, a tool (for Firefox) used to alter a web browser's appearance (more info via Wikipedia).Here are some of the best background hacks that I have seen thus far:1) Creamkut gives Orkut a total face lift. What I love about Creamkut is the fresh look it gives by adding new font styles, borders and even replacing the original buttons with customized ones to match the hack. Creamkut also has an official forum for those with further questions.Recommended for anyone looking to escape the basic baby blue colors of Orkut as well as spice up the overall look of the forum.

Carry your Karaoke everywhere!!! 2007-02-13 14:41:00 You want to enjoy the karaoke fun while you are having a picnic, but you can't bring your karaoke set to your picnic area. Disappointed? Now the engineers at Griffin Technology have created a low-cost karaoke system you can carry anywhere.Griffin now brings you the iKaraoke. The iKaraoke is a microphone that plugs into any iPod with a dock connector and processes any music that you own. Its software will fade-out or mute the vocals from your favorite songs and replaces them with your very own self-styling over the included microphone. The playback can travel by cable to a headset or amplifier, or it can be broadcast wirelessly to an FM receiver up to 20ft away.However, the muting is not perfect. You will still hear the lead singer at least faintly in the background, and unpredictably it works better with some songs than others.Important Features of iKaraoke• Plug and play - Connects to any iPod with a Dock connector.• Your biggest hits on your system - Plug into your home or auto Read more:Carry
