In just a few weeks, the Sci Fi channel’s twisted, macabre version of Frank L. Baum’s classic “Wizard of Oz” debuts as a miniseries called Tin Man. Of course there’s no replacing an iconic classic like the original Wizard of Oz movie, but the interesting thing about Oz is that the film we all know so well is really vastly different from the wonderful and weird universe Frank Baum created in his books
You don't need a snorkel with a bone-conducting speaker that receives audio from a base headset. But it's interesting to know they make gear like this.
The set comes with 7 radio equipped snorkels, with antennas in the 40.68MHz range that extend out of the water via the breathe tube. The base station can send a signal to unlimited snorkel receivers, has a range of 260 feet and has an input jack for routing tunes or whatever. List of applications: Water polo, SEAL training, Synchronized swimming, killer pods of military dolphins. [AMS]

Capcom has revealed that Lost Planet for PS3 will arrive on store shelves this February.

The PS3 troubles continue to roll in. First the (admittedly minor) backwards compatibility issues, then we find out the PS3 can't run 1080i, now a new issue has come to light: some folks are having a rough time getting HDMI to work right.
The guys over at The Man Room have unpacked their PS3 (sans-ceremony) and immediately plugged it up to their HDTV using HDMI cables. The result was less than optimal; they were greeted by flickering that required some resolution changes -- our guess is HDMI can't output 480p, though not a big deal since who wants to play on 480p anyway -- to get the dashboard working right. Just when they thought it stopped, popping in a Blu-ray movie resulted in the same thing, which they said would sometimes stop and sometimes continue (the guys never really gave a definitive answer on what they did to fix it).
The Man Room postulated that the PS3 has some HDMI handshaking issues and their apparent resolution is to keep rebooting until it works right. HDMI is supposed to be Sony's main firearm in its arsenal against the 360; some gamers are going to have to put in a lot of work on top of hard earned cash to get their PS3 running properly. We recommend just keeping at it and pray for a firmware update from Sony to keep it fixed.

Reviewing computer operating systems is the most challenging task a person with a cool job like this handles. The reason: Everyone uses a computer in a different way. The programs I like to use on my computer, someone else may not care for. Likewise, I never had much affinity for certain tasks -- let's call them spreadsheets -- while other folks become simply giddy when they learn a new way to sort cells on Excel.
