Stereoscopic 3D in televisions, PCs, and game consoles has alternatively hailed as an industry savior and blasted as overhyped and undercooked. But no matter which side of the 3D debate you fall on, everyone agrees that bulky active shutter 3D glasses are a major impediment to widespread adoption. That’s why we were so interested in the idea of an autostereoscopic laptop (which basically means glasses-free 3D)

(Credit: Patently Apple) Haptic technology allows users to “feel” buttons on a touch-screen device by providing localized feedback when users’ fingers touch button or control areas. A patent application filed in late March showed Apple’s version of haptic technology , a process that would use piezoelectric actuators under the display to provide feedback. A new patent application, uncovered by Patently Apple , shows that Apple is taking its haptic inquiry a step further

At the very tail end of its Galaxy S III event , Samsung promised one more surprise — and what it gave us was a special retail strategy.

(Credit: Dell) The only laptops available right now with Intel’s new third-generation Core i-series CPUs ( also known as Ivy Bridge ) are those that use high-end quad-core Core i7 processors. That means the vast majority of mainstream laptops won’t get updated CPUs until the dual-core versions of Ivy Bridge are released, probably sometime in June. Dell already has a few Ivy Bridge laptops in the Alienware M14x, M15x, and M17x gaming systems, and now the company is adding a couple of Inspiron models as well

(Credit: Josh Miller/CNET) I don’t mean to be a hater, but if the National Geographic Talk Abroad Lite weren’t attached to the Talk Abroad international cell phone SIM card, I’d have to wind caution tape all around my review. So why wouldn’t you run from this handset, given my less-than-glowing recommendation?

With E3 2012 right around the corner, Reggie and co. want to make sure your oft-distracted eyes catch every drip drop of the impending Wii U news flood.
Sufficiently enamored with Samsung’s Galaxy S III that you’ve got to have one in the US before anyone else, and you don’t want it sullied by carrier customizations in the trip across the Pacific?
We can’t be certain as to how many units of the HTC EVO 4G LTE have made it out of customs thus far, but it appears the number is high enough for Sprint to officially set a date for shipping the device out to those who pre-ordered it online. A Sprint representative reached out to us to share the company’s statement from this afternoon that customers should expect to receive their valuable treasure “on or around” May 24th. We’re not in love with the “around” terminology, but this could simply be due to a high amount of demand.

(Credit: Pentax) I have to admit: the $900 Pentax K-30 dSLR sounds like a pretty promising replacement for the K-r. Rugged on the outside with the potential for the same excellent photo quality as the K-01 mirrorless ILC, claimed faster autofocus performance than the already fast K-5, and a 100 percent coverage viewfinder that you usually only see in more expensive models all add up to a possibly great start to the Pentax-Ricoh era. Though it’s not “durable” in the same sense as bodies like the Nikon D4 or Canon EOS-1D X , with parts designed to withstand heavy photographic abuse, the K-30 offers weather-and-dust resistance, with claims of usability down to 14 degrees (most cameras only guarantee down to 32 degrees); that said, Pentax makes no claims about battery life at those temperatures.
House After eight seasons, the run of Gregory House MD comes to an end on Fox tonight with a double episode. While we’ll miss Hugh Laurie fumbling around on our American TV screens every week, it definitely felt like time for the series to come to an end. We’ll see how Wilson’s cancer diagnosis wraps up and if any other old characters stop by after Thirteen popped up last week, although we will avoid throwing back a Vicodin just for old time’s sake.
