We knew this was coming. Just a few months ago Pure Digital let out the Flip Mino, a pocket camcorder for creating easy Web videos. At the same time, other companies, DXG, Kodak, RCA were pushing around their pocket high definition cams, so it couldn’t be long before Pure Digital, who’s Flip cams lead the market, came out with their own. The Mino HD is that camera, and as the name suggests, it’s essentially a clone of the original Mino with the exception of the ability to shoot HD video. Rather than 640 x 480, the HD records at 1280 x 720 resolution

It’s the end of an era for a Web pioneer, as AOL announced this week that it will end support for the once-dominant Netscape Navigator Web browser, the AP reported. Beginning Feb. 1, AOL cease technical support on the browser, as well as any further software development.

According to a blog entry on AOL’s “Netscape blog” by developer Tom Drapeau, “While internal groups within AOL have invested a great deal of time and energy in attempting to revive Netscape Navigator, these
Top 25 Phone Applications
January 2008 From E-Gear
It’s not a phone anymore. It is a platform. As more of us come to rely on our more sophisticated multimedia phones for everything from email to Web browsing, travel planning to shopping, the future has become clear. Resistance is futile. Cell phones are the next PC. While not all of our favorite mobile applications work on every carrier and phone (check your provider and your own phone deck for availability) a number of widely available titles continue to impress us as examples of just how good the emerging technology can get.

Shoot it! Share it!” The new launch is part of AOL’s continuing transformation, which led it to abandon its
SXSW Interactive/Film Day Two: Say Goodbye to E-mail, Commercials and Multiple Logins
March 11, 2007 From Dave Thomas
Today’s panels looked into the future and found that a lot of what we take for granted may have a shorter life span than we initially thought. Long Talks on the Short Form had a lot of the usual to say about user-generated content. “We all love it, and here are a bunch of places you can show it.” When the conversation turned to making money off of it, though, it became clear that (a) the business models are not uniform and (b) that may not be the point anyway. The ease of video creation has led to a

Survey "Adult" and "Gamer" No Longer Mutually Exclusive
May 2006 From News
A Fox News report reveals that according to a poll recently conducted by AP-AOL Games via Ispos, 40% of American adults play video games. Most of these gamers are minorities, male, and on the younger end of the "adult" scale. 45% of this activity occurs online, good news for the corporations behind the Xbox 360 and the upcoming PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii, all of which support online gaming. The most popular video games, however, don't require Hi-Def. Board and card games top that list. The poll also revealed that for most, the habit isn't too expensive.

Gateway 42-inch Plasma TV
March 2003 From Product Reviews
The Cowhide Home Theater Reviewed by Joanathan Takiff I was intrigued to hear recently of a brand new 42 inch plasma widescreen TV selling for $3,000 — undercutting competitors' comparable-quality models by a massive grand or two. More exciting still was actually putting my hands and eyes on this slim-line beauty for an extended test run, and discovering that it performs so well. The set comes from Gateway, the computer hardware company that now hankers to be your everything-digital entertainment supplier. Its first plasma's fairly remarkable price has been achieved in much the same way as Gateway cut the bottom out of the
