What you are seeing here is not a new video game, but a simulation exercise at Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center. It is located near Edinburgh, Indiana and it is designed to prepare soldiers for IED (improvised explosive device) attacks. With the mounted jeep and large screens, it is designed to replicate the conditions that occur with IED situations like in Afghanistan.

I used to wonder why some people used a large monitor when the relatively small 15″ notebook of mine works just fine, until I myself tried out a multi-monitor setup. Boy, were my previous misconceptions and misgivings blown away – with more visual real estate, I can keep track of more things at once, not to mention being able to be on top of the situation faster than normal, especially when it comes to sniffing out the latest news. AOC, a name that is often associated with monitors, has just announced their latest effort which comes in the form of the 22″ USB LED Monitor.

You can more or less leave your cat at home for a couple of days when you want to go for a break from the office, but doing so is not recommended if you happen to have dogs around. For feline lovers, just in case you want your cat to occupy itself (since you cannot expect it to watch the entire season of House while you are gone), there is the $39.95 While You’re Away Cat Toy . The name itself gives the game away – this swinging and bouncing toy is “active” in a sense where it is capable of being programmed so that cats will remain amused when you are not around

Lightsabers are weapons for a more civilized age, at least according to Obi-Wan Kenobi, but here is an interesting amalgamation should the Jedi walk among us in the 21st century. The £39.99 Star Wars Darth Vader Lightsaber Umbrella would come in handy to fend off this pesky thing called rain

The LiveSound™ hi-fi headset, for exclusive use with most Sony Ericsson phones treats your ears, enables hands free operation and keeps you looking stylish. Having received a pair to test I found it gives a rich, full sound. Though many earbuds lose sound quality, LiveSound headset held on to highs and lows and did a great job in isolating from outside noise.

I recently read an article about how The Jetsons was supposed to take place in the year 2062, which is about one hundred years from when it first premiered in 1962. We are about halfway there at 2012, and while we don’t have the flying cars, we do have video chatting. The video chats on the Jetsons were always done with giant-sized TV displays, rather than the corner of the screen that we normally do it with on Skype or Google Talk.

I think the best gadgets are the ones that I wish I had thought up first. In this case, I wonder why most PC games don’t have more console-style controls.

Thanks to modern movies, most of us have seen way too many explosions. Of course, very few films have attempted to show us what it looks like to be inside of an explosion

Samsung has certainly carved quite a comfortable, secure niche for itself in the world of consumer electronics, delivering quality products at prices that you would not shy away from even in times of economic crisis.

Hot off the heels of the One X and EVO 4G LTE spending some prolonged time at customs , now another member of HTC’s sensational family appears to be feeling the rigorous effects of the ITC.
Accuracy is generally an important consideration in computer chips, but a team of researchers led by Rice University are touting a new “inexact” chip (dubbed PCMOS) that they say could lead to as much as a fifteen-fold increase in efficiency. Their latest work, which won a best paper award at a recent ACM conference, builds on years of research in the field from the university, and is already moving far beyond the lab — some inexact hardware is being used in the “i-slate” educational tablet developed by the Rice-NTU Institute for Sustainable and Applied Infodynamics, 50,000 of which are expected to wind up in India’s Mahabubnagar school district over the next three years.
While the main thing that would make Raspberry Pi’s diminutive $25 / $35 Linux setups better would be if we could get our hands on them faster , the team behind it is already working on improvements like this prototype camera seen above.
If you found yourself longing for the minor tweaks Samsung made to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany earlier this year, you may be in luck: Apple’s filed for a preliminary injunction against the slate stateside.
Let’s face it, whether you’re down at the laundromat or feeding the meter on a busy street, you can never find enough quarters when you need’em. Know what effectively sidesteps that lack of foresight? NFC , that’s what
We here at Engadget tend to spend a lot of way too much time poring over the latest FCC filings, be it on the net or directly on the ol’ Federal Communications Commission’s site. Since we couldn’t possibly (want to) cover all the stuff that goes down there individually, we’ve gathered up an exhaustive listing of every phone and / or tablet getting the stamp of approval over the last week. Enjoy! Continue reading FCC Fridays: May 18, 2012 FCC Fridays: May 18, 2012 originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 18 May 2012 23:52:00 EDT
Ready for your latest tour through the dense and meandering wording of patent applications ? Well, dig in, because it’s Microsoft’s turn to confuse lawyers the world over with this latest USPTO doc, submitted in November of 2010. The filing describes a computer-based program that would, essentially, analyze a primary device’s installed applications, cross-reference it with a different device and then either migrate that software batch or suggest similar apps to download on a secondary unit
Having spent a little time with it, we’re impressed with how much capability the engineers managed to pack into the Canon SX150 , at such an affordable price. As you’d expect given the bargain-basement ~$179 street, it’s not without its limitations, but considering what you get, it’s pretty amazing: A capable, well-built 14-megapixel digital camera with an optically stabilized 12x zoom lens and a good assortment of features
There’s been hints of it coming as early as February , but we now have a smoking gun at the FCC: the Galaxy S III is coming to T-Mobile. A Samsung SGH-T999 has popped up at the agency sporting newly added 1,700MHz AWS support that’s the telltale sign of a T-Mobile device, along with the T999 name itself (the T989 is the network’s Galaxy S II ). It also totes 850MHz and 1,900MHz WCDMA bands being used for HSPA+ data rather than just voice, a clue that the phone is ready for refarmed GSM spectrum
Sony must stay on top of Android updates for its tablets to remain relevant to consumers. (Credit: Sony) One must wonder why Sony cannot get out of the habit of playing a fragmented and behind-the-curve Android release schedule for its devices.
