Olympics Fans Asked to Kindly Stop Tweeting So Damn Much [Olympics]

Hey, uh, Olympics spectators? Really glad you made it out and all, totally appreciate the support and money you spent on those tickets and the fact that you painted those little flags on your faces. All of that's great, seriously. But it turns out you're also tweeting so much that it's interfering with our event broadcasts. So knock it off. Please. More »

This Absurdly Ornate iPad Dock Is Fit For a Czar [Ipad Docks]

The iPad may be known for its sleek design, but that doesn't mean you can't shake things up a bit with a super gaudy, overly detailed dock. More »

Microsoft’s New Mouse And Keyboard Are Actually Quite Lovely

Microsoft announced new keyboards and mice today: the Wedge Touch Mouse and Wedge Touch Keyboard, and the Sculpt Touch Mouse and Sculpt Touch Keyboard. The Sculpt products, though quite nice, are iterative updates of existing gear, but the Wedge Touch Mouse and Wedge Touch Keyboard are truly cool, and offer further evidence of the Microsoft’s renewed commitment to great design.

Both Wedges (and, indeed, all four devices) depend on Bluetooth, so there are no cables to connect. The Wedge Touch Keyboard comes with its own cover that doubles as a multi-angle stand for a tablet. Take the cover off, and you can prop a tablet up on it, and adjust the angle via a joint in the center. When placed on the keyboard, however, the cover automatically powers the keyboard down.

The underside battery compartment is designed so that when it’s flipped upside down and held against a tablet surface (so that the covered keys are against the tablet screen) it grips easily in your fingers. The keypad itself, meanwhile, is delightfully compact, but doesn’t feel too cramped. It also has novel hotkeys across the top for launching new Windows 8 menu functions — the Charms that appear from the right side of the screen.

The Wedge Touch Keyboard will retail for $80 and is available “soon.” The Wedge Touch Mouse is similarly compact and striking-looking. It offers four-way touch scrolling and Bluetrack technology that lets you mouse on just about any surface. It will retail for $70. These look to be great mobile devices. Clearly, Microsoft is thinking of consumers who are going to buy a Windows 8 tablet that isn’t a Surface (which already has its own dramatic keyboard that doubles as a case).

The Sculpt Touch Mouse and Sculpt Touch Keyboard — both of which are $50 — are larger and more full-featured than the Wedge models, if not as exciting. The keyboard also features Windows 8 hotkeys.

But the big story here is Microsoft design. Windows 8, Windows Phone, the Surface tablets and now these input devices are all evidence of a company firing on all cylinders at once, putting design first and foremost. These are thoughtful hardware releases. It’s great to see from a company that once put so little emphasis on human-focused design.

Ronin: Sunday Night Is Car Chase Night [Video]

Tonight, you are presented with a choice of what to watch: Olympics coverage for events you either live-streamed already or saw the results of on Twitter, or Robert De Niro taking the throttle in one of the most under-appreciated heist movies of the last 20 years. If it helps sway your opinion, I promise that Ronin has lots of vroom vroom cars go fast. More »

YouTube Paws Feebly at Foul-Mouthed Anonymous Commenters

YouTube now requests users who want to post comments on the site to let it pull their full names from their Google+ accounts and use them instead of remaining anonymous. However, users can refuse to do so, at which point they are confronted with a pop-up menu and must choose from a list of reasons to justify their decision. This new feature is being rolled out to consumers in the United States first and will be made available internationally later, YouTube said. Partners, brands and organizations may have this capability in the future.

MSI outs new CR41 notebook, hopes you like the color royal bronze

MSI outs new CR41 notebook, hopes you like the color royal bronze

What's rectangular, coated in a royal bronze finish, opens like a clam and lasts for up to seven and a half hours? If you answered MSI's new CR41 notebook, you'd be right (though we would've accepted self-destructing jewelry boxes as an answer). The 14-inch multimedia "mobile companion," announced just today, packs a 1,366 x 768 HD display, dedicated HM76 graphics chipset, choice of Intel's third-generation Core i processors and comes in a variety of storage configurations: 500 GB, 640GB or 720GB. Weighing in at 5.3 pounds (2.4kg) and measuring 13.8 x 9.2 x 1.3 inches (349.7 x 234.8 x 32mm), the laptop also features a six-cell 4,400mAh battery, support for Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi b/g/n, an optical drive, ports for HDMI, USB 3.0 (x2), USB 2.0 (x2), an SD slot and the requisite headphone jack. So far no official pricing or release dates have been made public for the Windows 7 rig, but when it does hit retailers' shelves, rest assured it'll be upgrade-ready for Redmond's next great OS. Follow on past the break for the official PR.

Sharp Aquos SH-10D makes pit stop at FCC, earns stamp of approval

Sharp Aquos SH10D makes pit stop at FCC, earns stamp of approval

NTT DoCoMo announced a roster of phones this past May, and among them was Sharp's Aquos SH-10D. After spending some quality time with the FCC, the handset now has paperwork that could allow it to travel stateside. Along with a quartet of oddly angled corners, the phone packs a GSM and HSPA+ / WCDMA radio, 4.5-inch screen, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 12.1 MP rear-facing camera and a 0.32 MP frontward-facing cam for those awkward, Facebook-bound self-portraits. Hit the link below if you'd like to rifle through the FCC results yourself.

Google Chrome and Chromium add protection against malicious downloads

google chrome malicious download
Google Chrome already sports a number of security-minded features, from Incognito mode to a software sandbox which makes exploiting the browser a Herculean task. Now, Google has announced additional protection for Chromium and Chrome users.

Built upon the Safe Browsing API, the new feature introduces protection against malicious downloads. If a download link appears in the Safe Browsing blacklist, Chrome and Chromium will warn users against downloading -- a save button is still presented, of course, in case you're convinced a file is perfectly safe to download.

We'd like to see something a bit more eye-catching than the red warning icon -- like perhaps painting the entire bar red. Many of the people a feature like this aims to protect probably won't notice the icon or change in wording as they'll be focused on clicking the save button.

Google is initially making download protection available to Chrome dev channel users, and you'll likely see it in Canary and Chromium snapshot builds as well. After thorough testing, beta and stable users will be next in line.
