Bleeding Edge 080: CES 2007 Video: Brother P-Touch Label Makers. Lame.
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Accessories, CES, CES 2007, Design, Features, Household, Videocasts,
Brother showed of their ridiculous new labelers at CES this year. Don’t get us wrong - labelers can be functional, but for hunters, and in pink? There is only one way to describe these products: LAME. See the video for more on that. We just don’t see how selling the exact same product, just in different colored shells, equates to them being for certain activities. We’ll let you be the judge.

We caught up with our peeps over at TiVo during CES and hit them up with a few questions about the newly announced TiVoToGo software for the Mac. We got a brief demonstration of the software, which is built-in to Roxio Toast 8, which shows off a bunch of it’s functionality. If you are on a Mac and looking to move your TiVo content to your computer, your moment has arrived.

Bleeding Edge 077: CES 2007 Video: Hands-on with Ojo Video Phones
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Accessories, Cameras, CES, CES 2007, Features, Household, Videocasts,
We got a chance to speak with Jim McLoughlin of Ojo, maker of low-latency video phones. For $10 a month, you can speak to anyone else with an Ojo in unlimited amounts. Useful perhaps for breadwinners frequently traveling and missing their families, the system will likely be purchased in pairs, as you really have to know someone with an Ojo to make use of it. The video includes prices, but we were sad to learn it wouldn’t allow users to communicate with, say, MSN Messenger users through video chat. It would make a great device for someone without a full-blown computer, if only.
DivX And The Future Of The Digital Home

Gear Live reader Davis Freeburg writes in:
As early adopters who’ve downloaded a DivX movie file know, their video file is second to none. There is no unreasonable wait, the quality is fantastic and it’s highly portable throughout the home. Born in the wild wild west of the P2P revolution, DivX has recently tried to shake their bad boy image for a more corporate look with a recent IPO. In an interview with Jordan Greenhall, DivX’s CEO, he discusses the impact that piracy has played on their negotations with the studios, the future of DivX on the Xbox 360, the PS3 and the Wii and his plans to bring media convergence into the digital home.
One of our favorite quotes from the piece is Jordan talking about what it could mean if Microsoft added DivX playback to the Xbox 360:
The pressure would certainly be on and then it’s a matter of the politics of each organization. I would argue that on a pure market competitive basis, if Microsoft stepped up and put DivX on the Xbox, they would have a significant competitive advantage and the onus would be on to reduce that advantage by licensing DivX as well, but that doesn’t imply however the Sony would have the forethought to do it.

Veteran CBS Journalist Ed Bradley Dies
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: CBS, News,
Veteran journalist Ed Bradley, 65, died Thursday morning after a battle with leukemia. The CBS news correspondent was widely known for his 26 years on 60 Minutes and a Harrison Ford-esque earring. Over the years, he scored many exclusives interviews—including one with Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh—and earned a whopping 19 Emmys. Bradley is survived by his wife, Patricia.
