Help Key: Watch Netflix from outside the U.S.
You Americans have all the good stuff. Stuff like BP pumping oil in the Ocean and guns, lots of guns. And then you have Netflix . Sweet Netflix. Us foreigners are wondering what it feels like to have a service like that. Now I know. In Europe we also have online movie services. They are completely useless unless you are prepared to pay 3€ ($5) for a single movie for 24 hours. The content of these services is not very satisfying either. This is of course not ...

Testing out the JVC Everio GZ-HM1SU (in the middle of Jamaica)
Secrets bokeh~! Did you know that I’ve had the JVC Everio GZ-HM1SU in my possession for about a month now? Kinda hard to know that seeing as though I’ve never written about it. We’re going to fix that right now. And while we’re at it, let’s kill two birds with one stone. A friend of mine invited me to Jamaica last week—he’s some sort of big shot down there, it seems—and I thought to myself, “This looks like an excellent opportunity to really test out the camera, ...

Every Microsoft employee gets a free Windows Phone 7 handset
Microsoft is in a giving mood. Just last month they gave out hundreds of Xbox 360s to E3 attendees — even sent one to the TechCrunch office for no particular reason. Now they’re going to be giving away Windows Phone 7 handsets to every Microsoft employee, if we are to believe what we read on Twitter . We recently got our hands on a WP7 unit and put up our in-depth impressions of Microsoft’s new mobile OS , and our verdict is cautious optimism. But even if ...

Forget the guy who regularly took his iMac to a nearby Panera Bread. This fellow actually brought a small TV and an Xbox 360 to a Starbucks in Anchorage, Alaska and made himself at home.

DJ Hero 2 brings two turntables and a microphone this Fall
Prefer a turntable to a keytar? Then it looks like Activision has you covered -- it's just officially announced DJ Hero 2, which will be available sometime this Fall, and presumably be on hand at E3 next week. Unfortunately, it's not yet clear if there will actually be a new version of the turntable controller or not, but Activison has added a microphone to the equation, and it'll also be releasing the ...

Google TV: Who is the competition and what are they saying about it?
The Google TV has landed and is already sending ripples through the marketplace, but what about all the companies already blending internet and TV? Whether they are already planning to work with the new initiative (Rovi), even more firmly staking a claim on their existing technology and vision for the connected TV (Microsoft, Yahoo), sounding like it's an option for the future (Samsung, VIZIO, Boxee) or already working on their own Android on TV projects ...

FIFA World Cup leaves Alan in its wake on UK sales chart
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa fiercely protected its top spot on the UK all-formats weekly sales chart for the third week in a row. Alan Wake saw the light of retail with a second place premiere, and according to Chart-Track, totaled only 1,000 fewer units sold than FIFA. Lost Planet 2, which found itself in third, was 12,000 units behind Wake (an Xbox 360 exclusive), despite being on two platforms and ...

iPad sales big on Ebay Internationally
Sure, there was a delay with iPad International Sales, but if you are here in the United States, see it as a business opportunity.
That’s right, if you have an iPad, you can probably get more than what you paid for it from another country. Isn’t this amazing how a scarce product can create such a demand.
Remember the PS2? The Xbox 360? The Wii? Tickle Me Elmo? Let’s just get that iPad to other countries already. ...

Check out the ‘vue’ at this Florida Ritz-Carlton resort
With airport security so unpredictable these days, it's just not safe to travel with your consoles anymore. So why travel at all? It's a question that The Ritz-Carlton resort in Naples, Fla. has tried to answer with the introduction of its new "vue."
That's right -- it would seem that the "dazzling" views of the Gulf of Mexico just aren't engaging enough for today's vacationer, so the hotel has constructed a "virtual user experience." ...

Xbox 360 Slim to be announced at this year’s E3?
If a notorious game industry news source is believed, Microsoft is announcing a redesigned Xbox 360 this year at E3. The systems will be physically smaller hence the slim name, but also sport a new predominantly black color scheme. The thought is a while Project Natal wouldn’t look so hot in front of a black TV and so the console is getting revamped ahead of Natal’s launch. Surfer Girl Strikes Back also mentions that MS will announce two 360 Natal bundles at this year’s show and she ...
