- Move From WordPress.com To WordPress.org
Moving a Blog from WordPress.com to WordPress.org is something I’ve had a lot of questions about – today Jeff Chandler shares tips on how to do it.
- Lenovo adds multi-touch, facial recognition
Lenovo has announced today that its dapper young netbook will be getting an upgrade, starting with a modest boost in screen size — from 10-inches to 10.2-inches. In addition to this embarrassment of riches, the new IdeaPad S10 netbook will pack LenovoSocial, a suite for “social networking enthusiasts,” VeriFace facial recognition tech and a multi-touch trackpad. The MSRP is $349 and you should be able to get this guy sometime in March. Available in black, white, red, blue, or pink.
- JVC 5kg 32-inch LCD lightest, greenest at CES?
JVC swears its CES prototype will be the lightest 32-inch LCD out, weighing a mere 5kg its perfect for ceiling mounted installations. At 7mm thick they’ve managed to squeeze 1080p resolution and LED backlighting out of 50% of the materials and less mercury used to produce current designs. A hands on should settle the battle of the thin, expect iPhone comparison pics and contentious weigh ins usually reserved for heavyweight bouts this week in Las Vegas.

- HD streaming added to Netflix-compatible Samsung Blu-ray decks
Samsung has added support for HD streaming of Netflix video to its BD-P2500 and BD-P2550 players. The upgrade is available as a free firmware update (players should automatically prompt users to install the software update, or DIYers can download it from Samsung's support site and burn it to disc).
- Live TV on the iPhone
On Thursday Livestation will preview a development application for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Perhaps it will be the making of the platform? Who knows. But the irony to all this is that in 2006 Microsoft and Skinkers signed a technology for equity deal in 2006, a first for Microsoft in Europe at the time. So Microsoft will have a stake in bringing live TV to the iPhone. Nice.
Despite being able to defeat The Joker, time and time again… Batman, like the rest of us, can’t win at the pumps. You know it’s bad when Bruce Wayne can’t even afford to fill up his gas guzzler.
However, I hope he didn’t make a rash decision and did the proper calculations to determine if downsizing really makes sense in his case. You can find out if trading in your gas guzzler is a smart move by using this calculator.
His new SMART Coupe doesn’t appear to carry nearly the same firepower as the Batmobile either. Hope that doesn’t come back to bite him later.
