Video Review: eStarling WiFi Photo Frame, Starring Twitter

Because you should never, ever, ever be more than 15 feet away from Twitter at any given time, the $200 eStarling TouchConnect digital photo frame provides yet another way to keep up with the mindless goings-on of your favorite internet celebrities.

I bet you’re expecting me to plug my own Twitter feed here. Well, I won’t. It’s not …

Percy Jackson, Who? Meet The Best Child Heroes of All Time

Just before Bastian opens the window and screams out “Moonchild!” to save the land of Fantasia, I thought my chest was about to explode.

The NeverEnding Story brought the perfect amount of suspense. It was the kind you feel rumbling all the way through you – even down in your socks. Bastian and Atreyu saved their world. They were …

Toy Fair 2010: We Came, We Saw, We Picked The Best

Allie alluded to our Toy Fair adventures yesterday in the Daily Dose and today we bring you Techland’s Best of Toy Fair 2010. Selections were made for kids ranging in age from 6-90. Some are motorized and interactive while others need to be under lock and key, but mostly, they’re fun and enjoyable for all.

So, without further ado, …

Video Review: Warpia’s Wireless A/V Set Works — But Within Short Range

Warpia’s wireless A/V set consists of a USB stick that installs itself as a secondary DisplayPort video card on your computer and transmits video and audio data to a second USB stick that sits inside a dock connected to your TV via HDMI or VGA.

The system uses Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology to stream up to 720p video across a short …

The All-Time Top 10 Ice Planets

OK, in honor of this reasonably impressive blizzard we’re having here on the East coast, I present to you: the top 10 ice planets. All media fair game.

By the way, I nominate “ice planet” — not the movie, the idea — for top 10 things that need both a Wikipedia entry and a TV Tropes entry. (Right now in TV Tropes it falls under

“BioShock 2” Review: I Need A Nightlight To Sleep

Once again we’re transported back to Rapture, but 10 years after the events that transpired in the first “BioShock” story and we find ourselves trampling through the underwater city as a Big Daddy. I won’t give away any of the story or plot lines because without them, “BioShock 2” is more or less the same game we’ve all …

A Q&A With Star Trek Online’s Executive Producer

Star Trek Online officially came out on Tuesday and, if the one million player accounts created for the MMO game are any indication, it’s resonating very favorably with the Trek fanbase. I spoke with Executive Producer Craig Zinkievich about STO‘s first few days, its development, future plans, weird stuff he’s seen, and where he …

In Which I Chat With Matt Fraction About Iron Man, Avatar and Watchmen

So Matt Fraction’s been in town for the last couple of weeks for various Marvel-y things that just so happened to coincide with Sega’s showcase of upcoming video games for the press. I was offered the opportunity to interview the Eisner award-winning writer who’s currently working on Invincible Iron Man and Thor. I jumped at the …

Review: Broadband2Go For Your Mobile Internet Needs

At $60 per month and a two-year contract, mobile broadband internet access from the likes of T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint isn’t exactly cheap. But Virgin Mobile offers prepaid 3G mobile internet access without a contract.

Sure, your $60 doesn’t get you as much as you’d get with a monthly plan (1GB on Virgin Mobile versus 5GB …

The Best Review of ‘Avatar’ I’ve Ever Seen

Sick of Avatar yet? Good, because you’re going to want to see this.

This two-part Avatar analysis is half rant, half film facade breakdown. More than a comical comparison of James Cameron’s block busting techniques, it breaks down the plots, sub plots and character development to explain why the entire world has been sucked under the …
