Longing for When TiVo Reigned Supreme [Video]

It seems like just yesterday when TiVo was a verb. But thanks to the drab overlords of digital cable providers, we’ve been forced to adapt the blander and more brand-neutral DVR. On last week’s 30 Rock, Liz Lemon expressed her longing for days gone by. Personally? I still catch myself remembering to “tape” episode. What is that, even? More »

Watch This Aircraft Rolling With a Man Holding to the Edge of Its Wing [Video]

Man gets out of the cockpit. Man walks the wing. Man hangs onto the wing’s edge. Aircraft rolls. Man jumps off the plane. I really don’t have anything to add to this video filmed over Iceland. I’ll just keep replaying it for a bit. [Thanks Jorge!] More »

Clearwire unveils $99 Clear Hub Express and $129 Clear Spot Voyager hotspots

Clearwire unveils $99 Clear Hub Express and $129 Clear Spot Voyager hotspots
Clearwire’s impending LTE rollout isn’t going to happen overnight, so why not continue to milk the proverbial cow that is their existing WiMax network? That’s exactly what the wireless provider is doing today, with a fresh duo of hotspots. The first, the Clear Hub Express, is a $99 WiFi router-mobile hotspot combo which is destined for home or office duty. The second is the Clear Spot Voyager, which for $124 will hawk WiMax to eight devices for up to six hours of continuous use off its internal rechargeable battery. Those are identical specs to last year’s model, the Clear Spot 4G Apollo, albeit sans-screen and in a thinner package. They’re available today from Clearwire, and either can be kitted with “unlimited 4G” plans that start at $35 a month. Get acquainted with them in the PR after the break.

Lark Wristband Reveals the Best Lifestyle Choices For a Good Night?s Sleep

The Lark isn’t the first wearable device to track one’s sleep patterns, but the system adds a clever coaching element that other sleep trackers don’t include.

Google Chrome now uses SPDY HTTP replacement, halves page load time

SPDY in Google Chrome
We’re not entirely sure of the time line here, but it looks like Google has now rolled out the SPDY HTTP replacement to its full bevy of Web services, including Gmail, Docs, and YouTube. If you’re currently using Google’s Chrome browser you’re probably already using SPDY.

We originally reported on SPDY way back in November 2009, when Google introduced it as yet another experiment in making the Web faster, like Go, Native Client and speculative pre-connections. Over the last 18 months, though, SPDY support has found its way into the stable build of Chrome.
