| Microsoft’s designing women want to dress you up in wearable tech love (video) Posted: 09 Aug 2011 06:10 PM PDT  Microsoft’s no slouch when it comes to market expansion, with personal computing, mobile and even gaming under its Redmond wing — but fashion? Well, it’s time for pigs to fly because two of MS’ very own took home Best Concept and Best in Show for their Printing Dress creation at the 15th Annual International Symposium on Wearable Computers. The dress, created by MS Research’s Asta Roseway and the Xbox division’s Sheridan Martin Small, incorporates a laptop, projector, four circuit boards and laser-cut, typewriter-shaped buttons into a black and white rice paper design. Wondering what all the gadgetry is for? Stressing the need for accountability in our age of anonymous, digital communication, the duo’s winning entry aims to have us all wearing what we tweet — literally, as messages typed via the bodice-sewn keys display on the gown’s lower half. It might seem a far-fetched goal now, but these “eRenaissance women” hope to lure tech back from the “cold, unyielding” brink and into the warmth of a “human age.” Jump past the break for a video peek at this ethical couture.

| Posted: 09 Aug 2011 06:10 PM PDT  Perceptive Pixel wasn’t kidding around when it launched the planet’s biggest projected capacitive display here at SIGGRAPH — all 82 inches of it were here on display, and naturally, we stopped by to give it a look. While 82-inch panels aren’t anything new, this one’s particularly special. You see, the company actually procures the panels from Samsung, and then it rips the guts out while bonding its own network of sensors directly to it; most large-screen touch devices simply pop a touch layer on top of whatever TV shows up in the labs, but this integrated approach takes sensitivity to a whole ‘nother level. For those unfamiliar with the term ‘projected capacitive,’ we’re surmising that it’s actually far less foreign than you think — it’s a technology used in a handful of smartphones, from Samsung’s Moment to Apple’s iPhone. 3M was also showing off a PC tech preview back at CES, and after using it here on the show floor, there’s no question that it’s the future for larger-screen devices. To quote CEO Jeff Han: “once consumers get a taste of this on the mobile front, they start demanding it elsewhere.” Perceptive Pixel shows world’s largest projected capacitive display at SIGGRAPH, we go hands-on (video) originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 09 Aug 2011 20:06:00 EDT.

| Netflix Watch Instantly streaming now works on ChromeOS, when it’s working Posted: 09 Aug 2011 06:10 PM PDT  It didn’t make launch as was originally promised, but today the Netflix Twitter account officially announced streaming access is operational on Chromebooks (when it’s not suffering an outage, like it was last night during Amazon’s cloud server troubles). The Netflix ChromeOS plugin jumping to 1.0.2 a few days ago was a good indication it was on the way, but now you can take your CR-48s, Series 5s and the like straight to the Chrome Web Store and get outfitted for some Watch Instantly streaming. Unfortunately, despite rumors that it’s on the way in the next year or so, there’s no change for other environments outside of Silverlight-compatible OS X and Windows, but Linux users can always dream, right?

| Big box earbuds put to a blind ‘taste’ test in the Engadget Labs Posted: 09 Aug 2011 06:10 PM PDT  Hello, and welcome to yet another installment of Engadget Laboratories. This time around we’re taking a pseudo scientific look at sub-$100 earbuds. We’ve all been caught out, headphoneless, and desperate to put some tunes in our ears. So, the question is, what exactly do you get for your money when you stumble into a Best Buy and pick up whatever happens to be hanging on the shelves? Clearly you’re trading convenience for selection when you shuffle into a big box shop for your audio needs, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you should just grab the cheapest thing hanging by the register, or the most expensive for that matter. We randomly selected four sets of phones, at four different price points, and put it to a group of average Joes and Janes to see if they could actually tell the difference between a $100 pair of buds and a $10 pair (while blindfolded and trapped inside a booth).
