I thought I got all the coolest LEGO sets in history, but a reader pointed out what’s probably the most shocking, darkest non-secret in its 50 years: a minifig wearing black tanga briefs. And when I say “briefs”, I mean brief. All I can ask is why? Why Mr. Kirk? Why all this painful detail? And is that David Hasselhoff, per chance?

The magic behind Ace Bayou’s new recliner lies in its ability to wirelessly receive audio from devices like MP3 players, home theater systems and gaming consoles—and it uses the space inside the chair to amplify the sound. Other features include a built-in 2.1 sound system with two forward-facing speakers and a subwoofer, a fire retardant foam core with black vinyl finish, and the ability to daisy-chain multiple chairs together. Plus it looks pretty damn comfortable if I do say so myself. No word on pricing or availability.

Coming just one year after the previous message rate increase, AT&T has announced another increase that will take effect as of March 30, 2008. Customers who are not on a message plan and just pay-per-message will see an increase of $.05 per message, which will bring the SMS price up to $.20 and the MMS price up to $.30.

Samsung was one of the first to release Blu-ray players in Europe, and now they seem to have perfected it with the release of their BD-P1400 blu-ray player. The Samsung BD-P1400 is their third generation blu-ray player, yes third, it’s crazy to think they are already on their third generation versions, while many people have yet to still buy any form of HD player. Over the last month, blu-ray seems to have taken the lead in the HD format war, and seems like they will probably be the winning format. So maybe holding off until now has been of our advantage, and has let the manufacturers enhance the features, and reduce bugs from their earlier generation players.

Posted Jan 29th 2008 12:22PM by Sean CooperFiled under: CellphonesThe K-NFB, a joint venture between Kurzweil Technologies and the National Federation of the Blind, introduced knfbREADER this week, a text-to-speech program for the N82. Coupling Kurzweil’s image processing with the N82’s camera, a user only has to snap a pic of the document to be read and the software will speak it back and allow you to follow along on the handset’s screen as it highlights each word read. The device is able to read just about all printed materials, from newspapers to glossy printed material and even US currency.

Posted Jan 29th 2008 6:32AM by Thomas RickerFiled under: CellphonesHey, that’s what Nomura International analyst, Richard Windsor, told his clients in a note published this morning. Instead of handsets, Moto may choose to refocus on becoming an “enterprise and government company.” While on a roll, Richard also raised speculation that a Chinese company might scoop up the troubled Moto before calling it “unlikely as those vendors don’t have much of an idea how to fix Motorola’s problems.” Problems he attributes to the platform and software, not hardware.
