The configuration page for the Voodoo Envy went live today, showing the full pricing scheme for the 133 PC, which starts at $2100 and goes as high as $4000. The low end model features a 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo processor and an 80 GB, 4200 RPM HDD. The high end model has a 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, Windows Vista Business Edition and a 64 GB SSD, bringing the total to $3400. Another $600 dollars can be spent on a variety custom finishes other than the standard black — white costing $500 and "flat black" $600.
This is expensive even by MacBook standards, whose $200 cost to upgrade to black at least includes a performance bump. To top off the already complicated configuartion/pricing scheme, once you get your specs picked out, you have to request a quote from an Voodoo customer service rep. I get the feeling owning a Voodoo Envy is supposed to be a privilege in their eyes. [Voodoo]
After a frustrating few months of searching for a solution to the audio problems he encountered while ripping on-screen video with his Dell laptop, a ripten editor discovered that others were experiencing the same issue—and that the problem was not confined to Dell laptops. Apparently, the lack of a sound card Stereo Mix recording option is to blame—and numerous forum threads have suggested that the RIAA has put pressure on laptop manufacturers like Dell, Gateway and Pac Bell to remove it.
After posting this information on ripten, a Dell representative chimed in to say that the lack of a sound card Stereo Mix option was most likely due to an issue with laptops running XP, and that a driver existed to correct the problem. However, it is still not clear whether the driver works for all Dell computers or why the option was disabled in the first place. Nor does it address the possibility that the problem may not be confined to Dell products alone. Naturally, random forum threads do not confirm RIAA involvement with Stereo Mix as a fact—but it does have that slimy, fishy vibe we have come to expect from them. With that having been said, have you experienced similar problems? [ripten]
Is it hot where you are? OObject celebrates Summer (and this SF heatwave) with a refreshing list of 20 different train-mounted railroad snowplows. Some look simply like giant plows, but the most gadgety look like giant snowblowing window fans. A little research turns up that these were developed by a dentist in the late 1800s as a tool to get through passes blocked by snow drifts too deep for plows. They\'re electric or diesel powered, and in Donner Pass near Tahoe, they were sometimes double-ended on trains so they could saw down the snow in both directions. The stills are inspiring but I found some videos of some in action (and getting stuck) after the jump. [OObject]
Gadgets are using up the earth\'s elements. Like, the basic elements that make up all chemical matter according Armin Reller, a materials chemist at Germany’s University of Augsburg.
Gallium is apparently critical for making LCDs. We\'ll be out of it in a few years. Hafnium (part of Intel\'s breakthrough with Penryn) will be gone by 2017 says Dr. Reller. We\'re also blowing through our supplies of zinc and copper, even though we have a shitload of it. Obviously, it would seriously cramp our gadget style, since copper is in like, everything. Oh yeah, and an element going extinct might not be good for the environment. [Asimovs via Valleywag]
Averatec\'s joining the XPS One and HP Touchsmart IQ506—among others—in the all-in-one PC game. What\'s notable about Averatec\'s beside its super generic "All-In-One PC" name? It\'s cheap. At just $1249, you get a 2.4GHz Intel E4600 Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 320GB hard drive, nVidia GeForce 8400, a 22-inch screen and a copy of Vista Home Premium. It\'s not a performance monster, but it is a fairly affordable all-in-one for the space conscious. On the other hand, [PRNewswire via Digital Trends]
The Nahamer T450 toaster concept from Rob Penny gets a big thumbs-up in the design department with its good looks and viewing window. Plus, instead of popping up, the toast slides gracefully onto your plate—simplifying the mechanics in standard toasters.
Nokia just sent us the 6205 Dark Knight phone in a promotional box and man, is it cool. The box, that is. As you can see in the clip above, the purple box with pretty green bow on top surprised the hell out of me when I opened it—it cackled in the Joker\'s voice. The box is also packed with a DVD of Batman Begins and a creepy Joker card that has the scribbles of a madman all over it. Way to go with the box, Nokia...now where\'s the psycho purple 6205 Joker Edition to go with it? [Verizon Wireless]
In one corner we have the iPhone 3G—the second coming of one of the most successful and influential gadgets in history. In the other corner we have Hellboy II: The Golden Army—the second coming of a moderately successful comic book adaptation about a big red demon fighting for the U.S government. It\'s a (kind of, sort of) clash of the sequel titans! Which one will you be spending your money on when the big July 11th release date arrives?
What looks to be the upcoming Nikon Coolpix P6000 has leaked, showing a picture of the high-end point-and-shoot as well as some of the specs and a purported release date of this August. Most notable is an absolutely-bananas 13.5-megapixel sensor, which should provide you with pictures large enough to print billboards from. The follow-up to the P5000, it\'s aimed at people who want better quality shots than your average point-and-shoot without the bulk of a DSLR. No word on pricing, but the P5000 debuted at $400, so place your estimates in that ballpark. [Nikon Rumors]
Park your car and tap "Park Me" to take a GPS reading; on the way back, hit "Where Did I Park" for turn-by-turn directions back to the whip. It\'ll work for first-gen and iPod touch users (although not as well, I would imagine) via Wi-Fi and cell-tower positioning but 3G users will get turn-by-turn directions via GPS. Sure, you could just drop a pushpin in Google Maps, but part of the charm of these apps is going to be the simple execution of simple ideas, Xbox Live Arcade style. I recommend just remembering where you\'ve parked. [PosiMotion]
Thanks to our frequent liveblogging and writing while solely on laptop power, we\'re always cognizant of how much CPU load we\'re putting on our machines. One thing we\'ve noticed is that Flash—the thing that makes YouTube videos move and advertisements blink—puts an abnormally large load on your processor, which makes for a dramatically decreased battery life. If you\'re using Firefox, use Flashblock to disable Flash except for certain sites, and if you\'re using Safari, use Safari Stand. IE sufferers can use Toggle Flash.
The Arecibo Observatory has been plagued with budget problems for years now, but it appears that the future of the world\'s largest radio telescope is looking bleaker than ever with cuts looming that could shut down the project for good. That grim reality has prompted the guys behind SETI@home to call out to the public in a last ditch attempt to secure donations and support for the Senate bill and House resolution to continue funding. With our luck, E.T. will try and make contact the day the observatory goes offline, so hit the following link and show your support. [Seti@home]
A Commodore 64 Expo was held recently, where attendees dusted off their Commodore 64s, networked them together and had an old-fashioned LAN party to play NetRacer — a new C64 racing game that supports 8 people over Internet or LAN for the first time. Organized by the Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky (!?), the event was attended by the likes of Dragos, Dopple, Elwix and Snogpitch.
NetRacer also supports joystick controls, has sound effects and scrolling animations — which is pretty crazy when you think about the hardware its running on. In addition to the LAN party (rumored to be for C64 A-listers only), the event featured Snogpitch\'s coveted C-1 computer, soldering stations, impromptu tutorials in 6502 assembler, frankengadgets, Mountain Dew, and a raffle!

As a reward for putting up with Peter Jackson and his crew for years, New Zealand users are getting their iPhones at 00:01 July 11, which is earlier than everyone else on the planet. Three Vodafone stores will be open in Auckland City, Wellington and Christchurch and if you\'re close you should think about lining up. Any of our Giz readers going? [Vodafone]
The same guys who made uSirius for jailbroken iPhones are back with uXM, which does exactly the same thing except with XM. An XM subscription is necessary, but you\'ll be able to listen to your stations on the toilet, in the office, in the office toilet, or even at Starbucks—anywhere where you can get a decent connection. Never be alone with your thoughts again. [iSmashPhone]
Remember the post we had late last year pondering how the PSP could overtake the DS (and the companion piece pondering why it wouldn\'t)? Well, it\'s done just that for the first six months of 2008. Famitsu\'s publisher claims that the PSP has sold 1.9 million units in Japan so far this year, leading the Wii with 1.7 million and the DS with 1.6 million. This is partially due to Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, which is a Japan-only RPG that has been moving PSPs like cakes that have been heated somehow. Will Sony be able to keep up the momentum, or will Nintendo be able to churn out a few more Pokemon and Mario titles to reclaim the lead? [Mainichi via PSPhyper via Kotaku]
The video labs at AT&T\'s Atlanta HQ are not located on the higher floors of its 47-story Midtown Center where, between demos, you can casually scrape a view of the city through giant windows. You know, where you might expect to see the future of TV. Instead, they\'re buried down on the second floor in a building a few doors down, in a plain gray room, whose only exceptional attribute is a wall of TVs—eight total including two 60-inchers—which are hooked up to experimental U-verse IPTV DVR boxes. In this room, sitting on the single blue-green couch, you can stare up and see the future—TV-to-phone video calling, iPhones as remote controls, on-screen visual voicemail, MST3K-style chat while viewing and more—TV as you will hopefully know it in the next couple of years.
There\'s a chance you won\'t, actually, see this TV in a few years, at least served up from AT&T. Only 379,000 subscribers are currently hooked up to U-Verse TV, and it\'s not available to a whole lot more than that. Rollout is slow. But listening to Peter Hill, VP of voice and converged services, talk about what the company is working on for U-verse, you\'d never know that everything he was showing me was just for a tiny, privileged sliver of TV viewers. (BTW, for a great hands-on cable vs. U-verse review to see what they\'re getting, check out this piece.)
The first thing I spot—and ask about—when I walk in is the Xbox 360 on the shelf, a ghostly reminder of the promise of a ubiquitous IPTV box. The status? Microsoft and AT&T have to "come to terms" on it. Whatever that means, but the shaky laughter dotting our exchange implies you\'ll probably never see it in the States. On to the real show.
Integration is the key to AT&T\'s IPTV vision—integration with the internet, with your home network and media, integration with AT&T\'s services. But that doesn\'t mean TV itself is taking a backseat. Whole home DVR is arriving soon, so that one DVR box will stream content to any and every TV on the network (currently, only the TV directly jacked into the DVR can play back DVR content). You\'ll totally be able to pause something in one room, and pick it back up in another. With whole-home DVR, the box will be able to simultaneously stream eight feeds to every TV in your house: Three hi-def plus one standard-def stream from the DVR, plus 2 HD and 2 SD streams of live programming. All those TVs are getting all that content from one box. (For the nerds, each HD stream is encoded in MPEG-4, running at a variable bit rate that hovers around 6.5Mbps. The U-verse pipe is built on a 25Mbps profile, which is divvied up by high-end QoS for TV and your internet.)
Next, we go into some of the media sharing stuff, which probably looks familiar to anyone with an Xbox 360 or media extender since U-Verse uses Microsoft\'s IPTV platform. Music, movies, pictures, streamed to your TV from a standard Windows Vista or Media Center PC on the network—basic, but nice, since this is all just pumping into your set-top box. They\'ve also got TVersity running off their network, which basically will stream anything to any device with a web browser, be it PSP or iPhone. It\'s running over Wi-Fi and it\'s actually damn snappy. I\'m not really sure how this fits into the IPTV platform, other than their vision of a totally networked home.
All of this is "six to nine months" ahead of the field now. So, you could expect this stuff in the next year, though it\'s not officially announced yet. It\'s all about mainstreaming media streaming and sharing—a baby step, but probably necessarily to get, say, your parents ready for what\'s coming after it. This is when Peter pops on the "ultra-bleeding edge box" though he warns me none of this is actually guaranteed to become a TV reality.
Fire up the box. Welcome to Peter\'s favorites. Yep, like Sezmi, everyone gets their own personalized TV setup, with recommendations, favorites, etc. You can also log in and control the set-top box from the iPhone, like a sweet multi-touch remote. It\'s running over Wi-Fi and it\'s as responsive as any other remote control. But you know, sexier. An app for streaming to the iPhone? Not yet, I\'m told, since there are "certain areas of the iPhone" where "Apple is keeping the experience..." "Controlled?" I volunteered.
It\'s a good transition to the more internet-y stuff they\'ve got going on. Integrated RSS feeds—you can read Giz on your TV and have it not look like crap! Video RSS feeds are where it\'s at though, like a feed of CNN clips that constantly refreshes. It\'s like Headline News, without the waiting. Course, it can also pull in YouTube, though I\'m more interested in Hulu.
Here\'s where AT&T benefits from being AT&T here, with your phone jacked into your set-top box. Maybe more "cool" than critical. A message asking for a video share call from a local Atlanta 404 number appears on the screen. Caller ID on the TV. We smack yes, and we\'re looking through the eyes of an LG Glimmer on our TV. Yeah, it looks like shit on the 60-inch DLP set, but it really works. Next, I call Peter\'s cell and leave a voice mail. A few seconds later, we\'re informed by the TV we\'ve got a new voicemail waiting, so we flip over to a list of incoming calls. We can remotely check out the voicemail or add the contact to our address book.
The finale: It\'s basically Twitter TV. You jump into a chat room with your friends (or invite them) and you can bleat out IMs that are collected on a timeline as you watch Leonidas atomically kick effeminate Persians into bottomless pits. And lest you were worried about text-typing via a crappy remote control, I actually used an iPhone to input the text. Later you can go back and scour the conversation timeline like regular IM, looking for a nugget of insight that might\'ve accidentally slipped out during the orgy of violence (or whatever else you and your friends are simultaneously watching). BTW, the cheesy avatars will be updated to look less like late-\'90s Messenger, I\'m told.
While these are all, by themselves, just little bits of coolness, taken together, it is a shift from the mostly passive way we watch TV. We actively time and place-shift now, but once we\'re plopped in front of the screen, input from us stops, despite decades of prediction that TV would become more and more interactive. U-Verse is not wholly revolutionary, but it\'s a stride toward true TV 2.0, with content from multiple sources, fueled by the internet. TV\'s got to do something, after all—there\'s less and less reason to be drawn to that particular idiot box, when there are so many boxes out there for so many different kinds of idiots. Of course, cable\'s got its own ideas about the future of TV, and soon we\'ll be looking into that too.
An independent Mac fork of Xbox Media Center—a lauded cross-platform solution for streaming media—has just gotten a neat new name: "Plex." (That\'s short for "cineplex.") But we know how it is. You use Front Row and think it\'s great. Before you go back into your Apple shell, check out this Aeon skin for Plex. Currently in alpha release, it features a fluid wallpaper effect á la iPod coupled with the simplicity of Delicious Library\'s shelf organization. Our own Brian Lam said to me, "I\'ve never seen a Media Center UI look so nice." I have to agree. (Well, I actually do agree. But I think that I have to agree, too.) Here\'s a massive gallery of shots from Plex running Aeon:
This image of the Samsung U4 MP3 player appeared on Samsung\'s Korea site over the weekend, promising "freedom from monotony." And while there are no hard specs surrounding this rendering except that it\'s "coming soong," it will likely pick up where the Samsung U3 left off, which is to say it wants the iPod Shuffle\'s head.

The winner of LG\'s next phone design challenge has been announced—and by the looks of things, it appears that Spider-Man\'s web shooter was a major source of inspiration. The device is actually a pen-shaped cellphone/mobile projector that can throw images, video and other information on the back of the user\'s hand when mounted on a wrist strap. I\'m not sure if LG still plans on manufacturing the winning concept phone, but slinging a mini or pico projector image around like a web shooter has definite geek appeal.

This story from the Washington Times seems more ridiculous than ridiculously awesome, but the base of it is that some official in the Department of Homeland Security has "expressed great interest" in a wrist bracelet that can be remotely activated to stun the wearer. It works by taking the place of a boarding pass, which you then wear on your wrist so the flight attendants can know who you are, where you are, and even shock you if you\'re misbehaving. What makes this thing completely absurd is the diagram after the jump. A man threatens a crew member with a knife. The crew member shocks the man into submission, then SHOCKS EVERYONE ELSE as punishment for sitting passively by while he was being threatened.
Update: Sorry, that last panel looks like a Photoshop. You fooled us, guy with rudimentary knowledge of the human anatomy!
It appears that retailers have leaked Garmin\'s upcoming GPS line. Amazon had listed relatively blank pages of the new 200, 300, 400c, 400i and 400t while Buy.com got even more specific with complete details on the Garmin Oregon 200 ($450) and Garmin Oregon 400C ($600). Apparently the Oregon is very similar to Garmin\'s Colorado (pictured here). The 3-inch, 240x400 pixel screen seems identical with the most noticeable upgrades coming in form factor—as GPSTracklog points out, the Oregon is one inch shorter and half an ounce lighter than the Colorado. For the Garmin fans in the audience, here are the full specs on each model:

A MAME (arcade) cabinet will easily cost you several hundred to several thousand dollars. But one modder used a little ingenuity to take an old PowerBook with snapped hinges and fit it into an IKEA RAMVIK shelving unit. The result is a tabletop arcade machine á la Galaga and Pac-Man that fits in a modern home. Here\'s the funny shot that tells you it\'s an Apple:
But the best part may be what the designer used to create the sleek black frame around his computer screen—it\'s just plain old black cardboard. And to further the simple mod theme, the joystick simply pulls out from the table\'s built-in drawer. There\'s no mounting, but maybe that\'s actually a good thing. [Mamebook cocktail via Unplggd]
Belgian iPhone coder Thomas Joos posted this video up on YouTube showing his iPhone running Flash Lite. No, this isn\'t official or Adobe-backed in the slightest way, but rather a port of the software hacked into the iPhone OS using the two apps b.Tween and eyeGT. He only browses one site in the video, so it\'s hard to have too strong an opinion, but it doesn\'t look bad at all. And at this point, with the inability to render Flash being one of the iPhone\'s biggest Achilles\' heels, I\'ll take any sense of hope I can get it. [9to5 Mac]
Last week we saw Panasonic\'s latest 50-inch TH-50PZ850U posing a serious challenge to the long-enshrined King of All TVs, the Pioneer Kuro plasma. But now our buddy Gary at HD Guru put the all-new second-gen Kuro 50-incher, the Kuro Elite PRO-111FD, up against the potential throne-usurping Panasonic 850. The verdict? As we predicted, the Kuro is once again "best TV ever," says Gary.
While it looked like the Panasonic\'s better color reproduction, more accurate gamma, reduced power consumption and $1100 price advantage over last year\'s Kuros was going to give Pioneer a run for their money, the new Kuro has stepped up with improved noise reduction and matched color reproduction and power consumption to the Panasonic. Pile that onto what Kuro is most famous for—the blackest blacks on any TV anywhere.
Unfortunately, the King doesn\'t come cheap: At $5,000, it\'s $1,500 more than the Panasonic. For the full down and dirty, check out Gary\'s review. [HD Guru]
Designer Andre Harley\'s Seascout robot concept aims to save lives in dangerous waters by taking the lifeguard out of the equation. The device can be programmed to locate a swimmer, deployed manually or autonomously guided via a GPS tracker integrated into a watch or clothing. It even features internal lighting and a two-way radio system to help a victim communicate with rescuers on land. If the Seascout ever makes its way onto our beaches, it is easy to see how it could help save lives—but where is the fun in drowning if you are not going to be saved by buxom, bikini-clad blondes?

Finally, pictures of the touchscreen BlackBerry Thunder in action. BlackBerry Sync has a pair for us: One showing the music player (which will have an integrated carrier music store, but hopefully not Verizon\'s UI, ugh) and another apparently recording a video. It\'s definitely super polished, as we\'d expect from a phone BlackBerry\'s ballsy enough to call "Apple killer." Hit the second shot below.
If you\'re unhappy that Hillary Clinton lost the nomination to Barack Obama, you better think twice before showing your displeasure at next month\'s Democratic National Convention. According to CNN, the city of Denver is purchasing tons of high-tech weapons to use on unruly DNC protesters, which may include goo-guns that shoot an impossible-to-escape sticky film, sonic ray guns that produce a blood-curdling blast of noise, and a microwave device that can make you feel like your skin is burning. The ACLU is suing the city to see what weapons will end up in the final arsenal, but if you\'re going to the Denver, be prepared; this could make the 1968 DNC look like a picnic. [CNN]
What better alternative to driving to work than riding an electric bicycle? Panasonic\'s Vivi RX 10-S, which is due in Japan on August 20, works the same way many hybrid vehicle systems do: taking the energy from braking and harness it into recharging the battery. The total assisted travel range combining pedal power, electric power and electric regeneration is around 55 to 77 miles, which should be enough to get you to and from work without having to go super sweaty style. If you switch on its automatic mode, you\'ll be able ride upwards of 113 miles on a single full charge. No word on US release yet. [Crunchgear]
If everyone living or working in precariously elevated positions could shoot Spidey-silk from their wrists in case of an unexpected fall, there would be no need for the Wizard rapid-descender concept from UK design shop HJC. But a sleek Dyson-esque backpack housing up to 250 meters of woven liquid polyester that can hold you and two tons worth of distressed damsels is a fair second option. If this thing comes to market, I think I\'ve found my new treehouse-egress solution. [Yanko Design]
