Microsoft Mediaroom IPTV Is Way Better Than Cable or Satellite

Microsoft's Mediaroom is the company's IPTV solution that brings TV into to your house (much like cable and satellite) over IP. You might be familiar with it in its commercially released service forms such as AT&T U-Verse here in the US or BT Vision in the UK. The features out now—quick channel changing, multiple channel records simultaneously without a hardware tuner limit, multi-room viewing, multiple picture-in-picture—are pretty fantastic, but we had a visit with Microsoft earlier this week and learned that what's coming soon is even better.

Fusion Man Jets Above Alps, Probably Looking for Jacuzzi Party

Godspeed, Yves Rossy, Godspeed! All 180 miles per hour of it, flying over the Alps with your four jets, guiding your carbon fiber and kevlar wings using just your body, and landing with your parachute on some boozetastic jacuzzi party on top of Mont Blanc. Then get drunk like a Japanese astronomer and fly away to the stars. We envy and admire you, Mr. Fusion Man, so here's a song just for you. More »

Inside the Largest Laser and Fusion Chamber in the World

If you live in San Francisco's Bay Area and your name is Darth Vader, head to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for the hottest laser action in the galaxy. Instead of destroying planets, however, the $3-billion National Ignition Facility will be used to fuse hydrogen atoms to create a small star and, in theory, get us closer to an endless power source. A PBS crew got into the facility to film it, and the only thing that comes to mind is "impressive. Very Impressive." The process is fascinating. More »

Toshiba Satellite Laptops: New Fusion Look, Charge-Anytime USB Ports, Cheaper Prices

Mr. T's favorite laptop maker rolled out slick, useful and budget-minded updates to its Satellite line today. First up, the 13.3" U400, 14.1" M300, 15.4" A300 and 17" P300 have a new look called "Fusion," a shiny finish with pinstripes and smoothed edges, not unlike that sucka HP's successful smooth-n-shiny-n-pinstripey look. The eight shots in the gallery make the design look a bit greenish, so we'll have to wait to pass final judgment. It's one thing to look nice on the outside, but like T, these have a lot going on on the inside, too... More »

Windows on Mac Benchmarked: Boot Camp vs. Parallels vs. Fusion

The three methods for running Windows on a Mac (Boot Camp, Parallels and Fusion) have been around for a while, but Mactech's numbers seem to be the first we've seen on how the three stack up on Leopard. The results weren't that surprising. More »

In2Games Bringing Their Wii-Knockoff Controllers and Games to the PS2

We first saw the In2Games Fusion last year before the Wii launch, but they're back again for the Leipzig Games Convention in Germany. This time, besides demoing the "Freedom" line (name changed from Fusion), In2Games is announcing that these are going to be available for the PS2 and the PC. More »

VMWare Fusion Review by Mossberg

Walt Mossberg appears to be scooping again. This time, it's a review of VMWare's Fusion (Available this Monday, August 6th). The software, like Parallels, allows PC programs to run from within OS X. Mossberg compares them, simply:
Parallels has more features than Fusion...But I found Fusion puts less strain on the computer overall.
Jacqui at Ars notes that Parallels isn't taking this competitor lying down. They just released a new beta that supports Mac Expose window swooshing of Windows programs. [VMWare via AllThingsD]

Latest by ocoloxin: @Bob_Dobbs: Interesting, Parallels 3.0+ has been far more stable for me than Fusion. Using dual "virtual" processors really isn't important for what I do. The features (and stability) of Parallels make it the winner for me. But it is about more »

ATI and AMD Announce Fusion CPU+GPU

It's been three months since AMD and ATI made the nasty, and what do they have to show for it besides a big mess and the broken hearts of nVidia and Intel? Something called the "Fusion", a CPU/GPU hybrid chip. More »

In2Games Fusion: "Suck it Wii"

In2Games has just announced a series of gaming peripherals even more amazing than the Wiimote - called the Fusion. The Fusion units work much like the Wiimote, sensing motion and depth. But because the Fusion uses sound waves (sonar?) for tracking movement, there are no issues with the remote losing line of site with the console. During playtests, the Fusion proved to be more than In2Games hype. More »

Seagate is going to be rolling out the Maxtor Fusion Network Attached Storage (NAS), a 500GB storage solution that's accessible via gigabit ethernet. For those of you that forgot, Seagate purchased Maxtor a while back, and isn't just calling their products Maxtor to spite the hard drive manufacturer—which would have been more fun. More »

Alesis Fusion: The Keyboard That Records Your Band

Will keyboard players finally get some love from their bandmates if they can record them in multitrack splendor? Alesis has built a high-end hard disk recorder right into the Alesis Fusion keyboard synth. They're certainly not the first to do that, but what they've done is remove the sticker shock: this instrument was already a bargain when it came out last year, and recent price cuts have brought the entry level model under $1000. For the first time, less than one grand gets you recording, a good keybed, space age controls, and multiple sound generation methods from sampled to virtual analog. Add in an Origami-based tablet and upload your sets to My Space. Or, uh, not. More »

Fusion Hits Stores. Pandemonium Over Crazy Orange Package!

The new Gillette Fusion razor is now available in stores and it seems users are just excited as hell to pay for a product they probably have absolutely no need for. Here's Greg from Texas, a live one, explaining how he went out and bought that baby right when it hit the shelves.
I got my Fusion last night (1/26/06) in Houston. I used it and I think it's a winner. The blade cartridge is much larger but the individual blades are about 50% smaller than the Mach3 Turbo. The shave feels much different than the M3T. Maybe it was because it was a new cartridge, but the shave seemed closer with less razor burn. The single blade on the back is a great addition too, but I think it will take some practice to get the perfect sideburns.

Wow. Heavy, man. But expect the media blitz to really begin when the Fusion gets airtime during the Super Bowl next weekend. Think half-naked man at sink fondling his close shave with hot woman ogling from behind. The Fusion without power is $9.99 and the Fusion Power will run you $11.99. So get on out there and make Gillette some more cash, will ya? More »

Antec Fusion PC Case

Better than a PC tower for sure, the Antec Fusion PC case is a nicely-designed product with noise reduction and thermal management capabilities, perfect for those of you ready to add a PC to your living room, but not stoked about the usual form factor. With a vacuum fluorescent display, 430W NeoHE power supply and clean interior, you'll like the triple chamber design that actually isolates the power supply, hard disk drives and motherboard into separate cooling zones. The four expansion slots and three drive bays also make sure you'll be able to easily expand your system, and the two external USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire port and audio connectors are certainly convenient. Should be about $200, available later this year. More »

It's Not Cold Fusion, but This Is a Kickin' Webcam

Here's a Logitech webcam that outclasses the rest. The Fusion webcam comes with a 1.3 megapixel sensor, proprietary Logitech RightLight technology, Logitech RightSound technology, and an integrated microphone, making it pretty high-end for a webcam. And the Logitech Video Effects software it comes with, you can, you know, "have fun" with your video calls. The software lets you transform yourself into a three-dimensional animated character that mimics facial movements or add things to your image—like glasses or maybe even a crown if you're feeling crazy. The new technologies also make it good for low-light situations and can give you a wider field-of-view. Only 1.6-inches tall with a lens that can sit just above your display, the Fusion sits closer to your computer than other webcams, making it easier to use. Goes for $159. More »
