A personalized video viewer for everyone

The good: Vodio comes with over 100 curated channels, so you can personalize your video-watching experience. The video history and watch later queue both come in handy. The bad: If you view a search result, Vodio annoyingly saves it to your dock without asking. Also, there's no way to rearrange channels in your dock once they're added. The bottom line: Vodio's customization options and huge selection of curated channels make it an attractive download for finding and watching videos online. Similar to the popular Showyou app, Vodio aggregates videos from across the Web and serves them up a

Microsoft has 'no plans' to revisit Xbox One's $499 price

Even as the company backtracks on its unpopular game-sharing policy, a company executive tells CNET that it won't budge on the price for the console, some $100 more than the rival PlayStation 4. Microsoft's Marc Whitten at the Xbox One reveal event in Redmond, Wash., last month. (Credit: James Martin/CNET) Microsoft may have just backtracked on its derided policy that had restricted game sharing in its Xbox One console that goes on sale later this year -- but don't count on the company to revisit other unpopular features of the upcoming console. In an interview with CNET, Marc Whitt

(Credit: James Martin/CNET) LG Display is about to embark on the mass production of smartphone display panels that reportedly don't break, crack, or shatter -- because they can bend.

"We have completed the development of

Huawei unveils world’s slimmest smartphone – again

The Huawei Ascend P6 is touted as the world's slimmest smartphone With all the different makes and models of smartphones available, manufacturers are always looking for something to make their handsets stand out. China’s Huawei chose size as its differentiating factor at CES in 2012 when it unveiled the Ascend P1 S, touting it as the world’s slimmest smartphone. The company is at it again with its new Ascend P6, which it is calling, you guessed it, “the world’s slimmest smartphone.” Unveiled at an event in London last night, the Ascend P6 is just 6.18 mm thick, but manages to cram pl

Emopulse Smile SmartWatch goes up for pre-order

Emopulse has hit Indiegogo to take pre-orders for its Smile SmartWatch Many of the communication devices that attempt to make the jump from our hands to our wrists tend to follow the same form factor as mechanical watches (think Pebble or the much-rumored Apple iWatch, for example). The Smile SmartWatch from Emopulse is quite a different proposition. If the company manages to transform its working prototype into an actual commercial product, the Smile will be a smartphone, entertainment and gaming hub, social network and news feed, personal assistant, digital watch, and a stunning piece o

School iris-scanned students without telling parents

A Florida school admits that it made several mistakes when it allowed a security company to install iris scanners without telling parents -- and without even having a contract with the company. The eyes have it? Or the eyes were had? (Credit: Screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET) There's a quaint concept that seemingly every technology company dismisses as outdated. It's called opting in. Should you not be familiar with it, it's the notion that you ought to choose before, say, all the people in your address book are contacted by a company they've never heard of. And wouldn't it b

Google's low-cost Chromebooks coming to 6,600 more stores

Once primarily sold in Best Buy and on Amazon.com, the laptops will now be available at Walmart, Staples, and other stores worldwide. The Acer C7 Chromebook. (Credit: Google) While Google hasn't done a lot of promotion around its Chromebooks, there's no doubt that the company is still working on bringing the low-cost laptops to more people around the world. The tech giant announced Monday that it's bringing Chromebooks to more than 6,600 new stores worldwide -- that's three times as many stores as before. The lion's share will go to Walmart and Staples. Walmart will sell the $199 Ac

Lego makes beautiful music with the Sydney Opera House

As part of its Creator Expert range of sets, Lego will debut a massive Sydney Opera House model in September. (Credit: Lego) We've seen an official Lego Sydney Opera House set before as part of the toy company's Architecture range, but let's be honest: an awful lot of detail got lost in the model's tiny size. Lego's about to do something about that, though. On September 1, Lego fanatics will be able to get their hands on an insanely detailed 2,989-piece model of the iconic building designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon in the 1950s. And, at 11 inches by 25 inches by 15 inches, it's

President Barack Obama. (Credit: Martin LaMonica/CNET) News about the National Security Agency's classified surveillance programs has been abundant the past few days, and to top it off, President Obama is now giving a 45-minute interview about the issue with Charlie Rose on Monday evening.

How to protect yourself when buying Cheapskate deals

You can help ensure a happy purchase by doing a bit of homework and learning how to resolve any issues that might come up. Refurbished gear can be a great deal, but depending on what you buy and where, you might end up disappointed. (Credit: LogicBuy) Sometimes it's hard being the Cheapskate. I don't mean the rigors of finding awesome deals on a daily basis, though that certainly can be a challenge. (What? Another tablet?!) No, the tough part is when a frustrated reader e-mails me because the product he ordered hasn't arrived after three weeks. Or, even worse, it arrived in poor condi

Japanese robots make a stink about bad breath, body odor

Kaori-chan, a female robot, can smell your breath and responds based on a four point scale (Photo: Asashi Shimbun) Have you got a case of dog breath? How about smelly feet? Friends and family may not tell you, but a couple of new robots will. Built by the Kitakyushu National College of Technology and a group of inventive pranksters calling itself CrazyLabo, the pair of odor-detecting robots are giving people a lesson in hygiene and a few chuckles. Kaori-chan, a decapitated mannequin head that sits atop a pink box, is the one that smells your breath. Simply blow into her face and don't

DNA Fog helps identify trespassers, thieves, and brigands

Applied DNA Sciences (ADNAS) has developed a new approach to solve crimes using DNA tagging (Image: Shutterstock) Imagine prowlers broke into your company warehouse over the weekend. The alarm sounded, but the devious blaggards got away with the goods before the police arrived. Your security cameras caught only dim, shadowy images of the intruders, not clearly enough for positive identification. DNA tagging could change that. Normally, tracking a criminal using DNA requires, at a minimum, that the perpetrator leaves behind a DNA sample in some form or other. As they are not often so acco

Hasselblad Lunar goes on sale ... with an astronomical price tag

The Hasselblad Lunar had been designed as an 'ultimate luxury' mirrorless interchangeable lens camera The Hasselblad Lunar has gone on sale, which could be good news if you think the mirrorless camera market has been sadly lacking in wood, carbon fiber, and jeweled buttons. Billed as an "ultimate luxury mirrorless interchangeable lens camera," the Lunar will sell for US$7,000, despite being based on, and having almost identical specs to, the Sony NEX-7. The Lunar, which was first revealed by Hasselblad at Photokina 2012, is the first foray into the digital compact mirrorless camera sys

Cruise terminal replaces Hong Kong's legendary Kai Tak Airport

Berthing area for the terminal (Image: Foster + Partners) Flying into Hong Kong was once an aerial adventure as gigantic passenger planes made alarmingly steep descents over the harbor and then low over crowded high rises to runway 13. Those adrenalin-filled landings ended when the new Hong Kong International Airport to the west opened in 1998, however, the site of those dramatic flights has now been repurposed as the new Kai Tak Cruise Terminal. It was formally opened on June 12 as the Commissioner for Tourism, Mr Philip Yung, welcomed the inaugural berthing of the cruise ship Mariner of

Google plans to wipe child porn from the Web

The search giant is creating a database of images depicting child exploitation -- to be shared with tech companies, law enforcement, and charities -- in order to scrub the images from the Internet. Photos and videos of child pornography on the Web have multiplied at an alarming rate over the past few years. In 2011, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said it received 17.3 million images and videos of suspected child abuse, which is four times more than 2007. Google has announced that it wants to help curb this proliferation of child pornography. In fact, the Web giant

NSA leaked documents reveal U.S. spied on Russian president

Supermoon will be big, bright, and full on June 23

The perigee full moon, which happens once every 14 months, is happening next weekend and will likely bring with it tales of impending calamity and natural disaster. (Credit: Lick Observatory) Supermoons can tend to get doomsdayers revved up. Besides being a remarkable sight to behold, the massive moon also comes with the mythical stigma of causing a handful of natural disasters, including earthquakes and tsunamis, floods, typhoons, and cyclones. And, this year's supermoon is quickly upon us. It will be shinning its light next weekend on June 23. On that day, the moon will appear bigg

Video game controllers need innovation

Innovative controllers missing at E3 The Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Wii U consoles all let players control games with motion -- but you wouldn't know it from the games the console makers are promoting. At this year's E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, the only mention of motion control came in the form of a few concept demos and Microsoft's (MSFT, Fortune 500) announcement of Kinect Sports Rivals. Sony (SNE) didn't make a peep. And despite the fact that developers have had a year to make sense of Nintendo's Wii U GamePad, which comes complete with motion sensors and a tou

Nintendo sticking to its strategy despite soft sales

Nintendo keeps betting on Wii U Since the days of the Nintendo 64, the masses have flocked to Nintendo's systems on the strength of its games. Nintendo is still focused on a content-first strategy -- even though that's creating some short-term problems since there aren't that many Nintendo games for its new Wii U console just yet. But Nintendo isn't concerned so far. "We think it's pretty simple. As long as we focus on getting our great first-party content out there, we believe the hardware sales will follow," said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime in an interview with

Microsoft Office comes to the iPhone

PowerPoint is one of the Office 365 tools iPhone users will now be able to use on the go, Microsoft announced Friday. (CNN) -- Microsoft Office, the suite of productivity tools used by millions, has finally come to the iPhone. The move is a significant one for Microsoft and its users. Before, the popular set of tools, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, was available only on Windows phones, which have captured a sliver of the smartphone market. The feature is available free in Apple's App Store for subscribers to Office 365, the cloud-based version of Office's business-like t

Researchers have come upon 26 possible black holes in Andromeda, a galaxy near our own. This is the largest number of possible black holes found in a galaxy outside the Milky Way, but that may be because of Andromeda's relative proxi

The 12 most exciting games of E3 2013

E3 2013 was home to dozens of unique titles and brand new franchises. Here are 12 titles we're most excited about. (Credit: CD Projekt) Where last year's show felt empty, E3 2013 was anything but. Show-goers were treated to a barrage of new software to gawk over, a lot of which are brand-new franchises. Taking into consideration criticism from my past lists, I'll be highlighting only games that featured gameplay of some kind. As long as someone played it at E3, it's fair game. Sorry, trailers and teasers won't cut it this year!

NSA admits listening to U.S. phone calls without warrants

National Security Agency discloses in secret Capitol Hill briefing that thousands of analysts can listen to domestic phone calls. That authorization appears to extend to e-mail and text messages too.
