2008 -Real launches a new program that will allow you to put your DVDs and other format movies onto the hard drive. It instantly became a hotbed of controversy as the software raised the question: can you legally copy the data to another media? The battle started in court and at this current point, RealDVD is on an injunction of sales.

No Comments »You might remember the products. You might remember the hype. Then, you are tooling down highway 41 years later and all of a sudden you think to yourself – “Hey, whatever happened to…”
Failed ideas. Maybe it was a great idea, but wasn’t made right, or design errors brought it down. Maybe it was just a bad product. Well, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and see if we cannot repeat these errors again.
Oh yeah, why 16? Well because we could.
The Computer Watch: Whether it was the Ruputer, the MSN Direct ‘Smart’ Watches, the Timex Data Link Watch or another gadget watch – BTW – I remember having a “Transformers watch”. It was awesome!
Still, the Dick Tracey style communication watches, the “Computer on a wrist”, never really hit it off. I even remember a watch that gave you directions. You would put in the paper tape and turn a little dial to indicate where you are and where you are going.

No Comments »When it comes to some great innovation in navigation systems, Eclipse seems to impress. Andy stops and talks with Michael Wess at CES Unveiled to check in on the AVN4430 multi-function Auto Navigation system. Not only is it a detachable TomTom GPS unit, but it also plays from DVDs or an iPod on the car unit. You can even connect another device via USB. A great All-in-one item.
*Correction – The 4430 is the model in the demonstration. The 726E (7″ screen) will be coming out soon)
