Miramax arrives on Lovefilm to let you relive the golden age of Weinsteins

Miramax has reached a deal with Lovefilm to get its back-catalog of award-winning films available on-demand in the UK and Germany. It's an unsurprising move given the company has similar deals in place with Netflix and Hulu to let you watch classics like Pulp Fiction, Clerks and Trainspotting whenever the urge takes you. While there was no official confirmation of a launch window, a cursory check of our own account reveals that some of the titles (including Kill Bill) are already popping up on the instant service.

Steadicam Smoothee Review: Shake-Free Video for iPhone Filmmakers [Video]

The video capability of the iPhone 4 and 4s is pretty darn good, for a phone. A number of accessories further boost the production value of iPhone cinema creations. Does the Steadicam Smoothee do a good job ironing out the jitters in handheld footage? More »

Gliese 581g: A Potentially Habitable World or Not?

There's been considerable debate over the existence of Gliese 581g ever since the discovery of the "Goldilocks" planet was first reported nearly two years ago, but new research claims to provide additional evidence that the potentially habitable "super-Earth" really is out there. The prospect of the extrasolar planet, which is said to orbit the red dwarf star Gliese 581, 22 light-years from Earth, is an exciting one. It's thought to lie in the star's "habitable zone," where liquid water could exist on the planet's surface.

Windows 8 App Store images leaked?

windows 8 app store
Windows 8 images continue to leak onto the Internet, despite Microsoft's wallpaper-based pleas to those with access to the early releases. Today's installment courtesy CNBeta shows the upcoming Windows App Store, which will likely feature prominently in Windows 8.

We've got our doubts about the authenticity of the image. In addition to showing several of the built-in games which already ship with Windows, Opera is listed -- and a competing browser seems like an odd inclusion this early on. Of course, with the browser ballot still in place in the EU for quite some time, Microsoft would probably need to include rivals like Opera and Firefox to stay out of trouble. We're also not sure why Clickgamer is shown beneath Angry Birds instead of Rovio -- the game's actual publisher.

It's still early, of course, so it's entirely possible that the Windows App Store image is genuine but merely using placeholder images and text for now. Anyone else thinking Windows Marketplace might be a more logical name? You know, to keep things consistent with Windows Phone and keep Apple's legal eagles at bay.

HTML5 MP3 player lets you listen to your music library inside your browser

html5 browser mp3 audio player
While this slick little HTML5 audio player might not pack all of the features of your favorite desktop media application, it's still a very cool demonstration of what a Web app can do with access to local resources -- like MP3 and OGG files.

Just fire up http://antimatter15.github.com/player/player.html in your HTML5-compatible browser and browse to the topmost folder in your music library. The app will quickly build an index of all your tunes and let you start listening right inside your Web browser. Click on the filter library text, and you can enter a search string -- results load as you type.

There's a volume control, shuffle mode, play/pause control, and you can click and drag to skip forward or rewind during playback. As OMG! Ubuntu points out, you can even save the app to your hard drive and run it offline, which is pretty darn cool.

Not all browsers are equal when it comes to HTML5 implementation, of course. We found that Chrome worked the best, and Firefox was OK. It's also worth noting that this music player comes from the same developer that created one of our favorite restartless Firefox 4 add-ons, drag2up.

Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Car Kit review

Want a chance to win a Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Car Kit of your very own? Subscribe to our YouTube channel and leave a comment on the video above!

The Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Car Kit is great for those without built-in iPhone or iPod support in their car, and especially great for those of us who don't yet have Siri as on option on older generation iPhones. The setup is easy, so much so that I merely listened while the Jabra unit itself told me what to do.

Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Car Kit review

Sound quantity was substantial, but as with any device with tiny speakers, distortion plagued the higher volume levels. There is a surround sound-like quality to it but I don't think most music lovers would use the tiny Jabra speakers over a dedicated Dock, AUX, or even via the FM stereo output connection. Also, for some reason, the mute button refused to work for me although the volume buttons worked fine.

The Siri-replacing Voice Assist comes in the form of a $59 subscription service, though the first year is free. (Or at least comes included in the price of purchasing the Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Car Kit). It provides similar features like handsfree text/SMS messages, email reading and dictation, and more.

Although a 1 year free subscription sounds tempting, I was quickly dissuaded by the amount of private information I had to give up for this service. I'm admittedly paranoid, so uploading all my contacts and giving over my email passwords was a deal-breaker for me. If you value convenience over security, and trust the Voice Assist service to protect your private data, more power to you. For me, I'll be getting an iPhone 5 soon enough that I don't feel the urgent need to spread my risk between more companies than is absolutely necessary.

However, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 users still have Apple's built in Voice Control system, which while no Siri, can still do things like make calls or play music. You can trigger Voice Control by pressing and holding the phone icon right on the device.

Still, even without the Voice Assist service, the Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Car Kit packs a lot of value. The FM transmitter to play your music or voice calls through your car speakers, which is great.

Even better, it allows for 2 simultaneous bluetooth connections so that if you share a vehicle with a significant other, you needn't argue or barter over whose one device in the car gets to be paired for listening to calls or music. That's a real stress-saver.

One thing that is a HUGE pet peeve for me is that many hands free devices have a blue blinking light that tells you when something is paired or when the device is on. This drives me insane, especially at night time. It's like the eye of Sauron piercing through steel and glass, needlessly distracting while i'm driving. Manufacturers please stop doing this.

The Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Car Kit can be charged via the same AC adapter you use for your iPhone, or you can use the 12v adaptor that comes in the box. It will also automatically turn itself on and off as you enter or exit the Bluetooth radius, so you don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on when you're out of the car, or forgetting to turn it on when you're driving.

The good

  • Provides Voice Assist subscription service for those who want it
  • Has built-in simulated surround speakers but also works over FM radio
  • Can be paired with 2 iPhones simultaneously
  • Easy setup

The bad

  • Voice Assist requires you to share contacts and passwords
  • Flashing blue light is distracting

The conclusion

The Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Car Kit is a great option for anyone who doesn't have built-in iPhone or iPod connectivity in their car, especially great for couples who want to be able to pair both their phones to single device. Voice Assist is a boon to anyone with an older iPhone that doesn't offer Siri, though it does come with some privacy and security tradeoffs.

Sound quality with the built-in speakers is okay, but with the FM transmitter is even better.

Verizon aims the Pantech Marauder at first-time smartphone buyers

Pantech Marauder

Verizon this morning announced the Pantech Marauder, a 4G LTE Android smartphone aimed at first-time buyers. It'll launch Aug. 2 for $49 after a $50 rebate.

Specs aren't going to knock anyone out of the water -- it's got a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM, a 5-megapixel camera. But the Marauder has a trick up its sleeve -- it's a dual-more device. There's Standard Mode, which provides "a general smartphone setting" and the traditional Android experience. Or if that's a bit  much for you, there's Starter Mode, which features a dialer on the home screen.

We've got another pic and the full details on the release after the break.

Romney to announce VP pick via Android, iPhone apps

Mitt Romney App

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will announce his running mate ... on his official Android and iPhone apps.

The Android app, which gives you plenty of opportunities to sign up, sign in and donate (via a poorly formatted web view) will be the first place to learn who will join Romney on the Republican ticket this fall. In fact, jests the app, you'll learn it before just about anyone else. (Of course that's not actually true, but it's a nice selling point.) Says the app:

"Who will be Mitt's VP? There's no telling when the announcement will be, so check back often and enable push notifications to get the exciting news before the press and just about everyone else (except maybe Ann)."

The app gets some kudos for properly having an option to turn off push notifications (actually, they're off by default), and it's attractively designed, though it doesn't really follow Google's design cues.
