An interesting proposal was announced on the official Google Code Blog this week. In a lengthy draft, a group of DNS and content providers (including Google) outline the concept of extending the DNS protocol to include part of a user's IP address. DNS works by translating friendly domain names to a...

“More combos than a roadside cafe.”
After two months of the game’s availability on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Ubisoft has dated the PC version of Assassin’s Creed II for March 5 in Europe and March 16 in North America.
Like the original before, it will be labeled as a “Director’s Cut”, packaging the full game...

Yep, you read that right. Win3.1 in a browser. Everything that was there on that desktop, including Minesweeper. Of course, it’s also a whole lot more stable then the original, and some of the icons take you into Michael’s personal website. Thankfully, you can’t run the old version of I.E. on the site, but you can shut down windows.
It seems that the heart of the device is ID badge-sized cards that are supposed to be used for detecting different items. There are different cards for everything from TNT, plastique, to even money and elephants. However, as the Cambridge Computer Laboratory found out, these cards contain nothing more than a dumb RFID tag. Seriously, watch the BBC investigation video after the jump.
Jim McCormick as quoted by the TimesOnline,
The ADE-651 isn’t McCormick’s first unit. Randi.org states that he has sold $85 mil worth of the devices over the past 10 years. Interestingly enough, James Randi previously offered up a $1,000,000 purse to whoever proves that dowsing actually finds anything. McCormick never took the test. An export ban on the ADE-651 and similar devices start next week in Britain. McCormick was arrested on suspicion of fraud by misrepresentation but later released on bail. Who knows what will happen to him and his company, ATSC. But even if the courts take him down, five more companies will likely spring up around the globe and take up his cause of scamming governments while putting people at risk.

Messenger Plus! Live is by far the most used add-on for Windows Live Messenger. The project started in May of 2001, and nine years later has over 60 million users, has been translated into 21 languages, and is downloaded and installed more than 300,000 times a day. The best part...
The solar powered lights are being placed in hospitals, enabling doctors to continue to work after dark, and the solar panels are being used to power water pumps used in the water purification process. In addition to water and light, a Dutch company is donating solar powered cell phones in order to help with communications. Last but not least, another American company is shipping solar powered ovens, which will allow people to cook without use of charcoal or other fuels. [via Green Tech]
Now, to be fair, the technology was pretty advanced. You’ve got a little drum machine with a built in speaker, six drum patterns, and a metronome mode. It could even tell the time and had a built in alarm! We never saw them in the US, but you can find them on Ebay now. Just expect to spend some serious cash for a bit of nostalgia. [via Retrothing]
Apple is in talks with HarperCollins Publishers about offering e-books for the upcoming Apple tablet device, The Wall Street Journal said.

It’s a known fact that a touch typist is faster if they keep their fingers on the “home row”, and this is the concept that the MiniGuru builds on. There might be a problem when you try and use the modifier keys to use things like arrow keys, or the function keys – it could become counter-productive. I’m not saying that it wouldn’t work, but honestly the amount of time required to learn how to use the new keyboard may make it rather pointless. I could see this being useful for an HTPC or other type of hobbyist application though. If you want to try one, the MiniGuru will be available sometime this fall, with no word on the cost.

The creator says at Reddit that he only used about $70 worth of parts in addition to the exercycle itself. Basically a magnet on the wheel triggers a series of sensors, and the frequency with which the sensors are hit determines the “pressure” on the analog stick. I’m thinking it must be pretty hard to use the controller at the same time. I’d fall off right away. More info and schematics at the project’s site.
I honestly don’t understand what’s going on here nor do I particularly condone this tomfoolery.
 Tingalin, the makers of the world-famous Tingalin app, have outdone themselves. Their new app, based on the magic of the Jersey Shore but not directly affiliated with the MTV show in any way features a number of useful tools for the Situation-in-training.
While the upcoming "fake tan" system is not yet in place, the app does have a nickname generator, a fist pump challenge that acts like Guitar Hero for bros, as well as a list of useful pick-up lines for meeting and wooing drunk honeys.
A full video explanation follows.
I decided to take a gander through the car audio section of the show and was met with quite possibly some of the most grandiose automobiles I have ever been within 5 feet of. Despite the purpose of these vehicles being to showcase the audio systems these companies can create, flashing lights and bright colors seemed to be the attention getting method of choice. Although, more often than not, I heard Soulja Boy being passed as music. Gross. Anyway, the image descriptions will tell you exactly why these constructs made the most ridiculous list.
Watch above. End of Transmission.
Yesterday, Neowin covered the Sprint press event where Sprint unveiled their 'Overdrive' mobile hotspot that boasts 3G and 4G connectivity. The device is being marketed as a home broadband replacement as well as a mobile hotspot. Overdrive connects to Sprint's 4G (WiMax) service and produces a mobile hotspot for up to 5 devices. The Overdrive which we received this morning does exactly what you would expect. It provides a very simple setup and allows you to easily connect any Wi-Fi enabled device seamlessly and use it as you would any other hot spot.

They had this thing on display at Unveiled, but there was only one and nobody was really allowed to touch it. But Lenovo was nice enough to let me check this one out at their party last night in the Venetian. I’ve got to start running down to this meeting at a whole other location down the street, so I can’t write a blow by blow, but the video is pretty self-explanatory. The exhibitor is pretty much on autopilot, showing off the different modes, so you’ll get the full show. My impressions were: pretty cool. The tablet portion is obviously at the very edge of its power, so I think they might have overdone it there, and a lot will depend on how well the little widgets work, but all in all it’s an elegant little interface. At $1000 it’s too expensive for anyone but zealous early adopters, though. At any rate, it’s a cool idea, and the hardware is really nice.
Android developers are complaining about not getting an SDK before the release of the Nexus One.
We’re live from Palm’s CES 2010 Press Event, where they’re expected to announce … something. Will they tell us which two phones AT&T will be carrying? Will they finally confirm that they’ve got handsets heading to Verizon? We’ll keep the live blog goin’ as long as the mighty mobile broadband overlords allow – follow along after the jump.

That said, Ooma has just released the Telo system, an improvement to its current firmware that includes iPhone/Touch support, Bluetooth support, Google Voice connectivity and voice transcription. Not an upgrade per se but an improvement. Pure Voice improves the call audio and the additional features – Bluetooth, for example – allows you to connect to cellphones. Here’s the Google Voice juice:
