For now, fans of the Dallas Cowboys can brag that their team's stadium boasts the world's largest HD video screen. Enjoy it while you can, Cowboys fans. According to DVICE, the Charlotte Motor Speedway will unveil, in April 2011, a 200-foot-by-80-foot Panasonic HD screen that will supplant the Cowboys' screen as the world's largest. The monster screen will cover an area of 16,000 square feet, ...

We might as well learn to love 3-D, because Fujifilm (and nearly every other manufacturer) isn't going to hold back on the tech. Fujifilm is giving 3-D cameras another go in September by releasing the FinePix Real 3D W3, which captures 3-D AVI photos and videos at a high-def quality resolution of 720p. Why would consumers buy this camera when Fujifilm's first 3-D camera, the FinePix Real 3D W1, ...

Your faithful writer, bolstered by assurance in the strides we're making with shark-detecting technologies, was planning another trip to the beach this weekend. But it suddenly dawned on him that this August 1st will see the 2010 premiere of Shark Week! For shark-phobic rubbernecks, Shark Week is the ultimate car crash, keeping us glued to the television for tales (and tails) of torment and ...

We're sure you're familiar with Redbox's kiosks, which offer DVD rentals for $1, and can often be found on your way out the door of your local mega-mart. Now the company is updating its services to offer high-def Blu-ray rentals. Of course, the HD discs will set you back slightly more than the $1 DVDs, but, at $1.50, the price bump is hardly a deal breaker. Roughly half of the company's 26,000 ...

The song is a little 1999 (the guys having missed the Nu-Metal train by about ten years), but the video for The Anix's 'Enemy Eyes' is all 2010. Just a few minutes after one of the band's members got home with his iPhone 4, the group decided to see just what the built-in 720p camcorder could do. The results are quite impressive. Sure, a MacBook Pro was needed to add some effects and color ...

The market is quickly becoming saturated with cheap HD camcorders that easily slip into your pocket or purse. It really all began with Pure Digital's Flip video camera in 2006, but, since then, companies have been bumping up the resolution and increasing storage capacity until they reach the technological limits of the gadgets. Now, manufacturers really have two options if they want to stand out ...

Because watching HD TV on an actual TV is so last decade, Netflix has reportedly begun streaming over half of its HD collection for both PC and Mac users. As HackingNetflix explains, all you have to do in order to find out which titles are currently available for HD streaming is roll your mouse over a given movie or show, and look for the 'HD available' tag that pops up at the bottom of the ...

On Tuesday, the new Flip Slide HD camera finally (and officially) hit stores and the Web. We haven't got our hands on one yet, but according to Engadget, the feature that's creating the most (and really, the only) buzz is the three-inch touchscreen that pops-up when you want to play back footage. Other than that, it's not a whole lot different than the Flip Mino HD -- as far as filming goes. It ...

There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web. Some kids care about dolphins. And some bloggers read your mean-spirited responses to our painstaking posts. So watch this cyberbullying PSA and think about these ...

All of the major TV networks currently broadcast HD video over the air and in better quality than what you likely receive from your cable/satellite company. And despite any techno-babble you may read, you can receive HD television signals over the air using a regular old TV antenna (as long as your HDTV has a built-in tuner, which most do). To figure out what channels are available in your area, ...

JVC HD Everio GZ-HM400 (Creative, Under $1,000) If you aspire for your homemade movies to be more 'American Beauty' than America's Funniest, you'll need to forgo the raft of pocket-sized but underpowered HD camcorders and opt for a higher-end model. Which is where's JVC's newest Everio, the GZ-HM400 HD camcorder steps in. Able to record both crisp 1080 at 60fps HD video, as well 600fps ...

So the biggest movie of the year has come to Blu-ray and is behind us, but there are plenty of hot new releases left on the docket this year -- just not this week. This week we are planning on getting a couple of movies for our kids as well as checking out the latest 'Battlestar Galactica' movie, 'The Plan.' Other than that we're looking forward to checking out Larry David in a Woody Allen movie, ...

Oh man do we just love this time of year, not only are the super hot days of summer over, but Football is here and now the big blockbuster movies are hitting Blu-ray. And of the big movies for 2009, none is bigger than 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,' which hits Blu-ray tomorrow -- actually if you really can't wait, you can go to Best Buy at midnight tonight and pick it up. We can't say we ...

One of the curses of HD DVRs is that, when recording HD video, they fill up terribly quickly. But, depending on your cable or satellite provider, and the model of box you have (check with your provider), you can quickly and cheaply upgrade your capacity. First, get hold of a completely empty SATA USB hard drive. Unplug the power cord of your set-top box, plug in the drive (the bigger the better), ...

It's been almost two years since we first told you about the Japanese probe KAGUYA, which is currently orbiting the moon. Fortunately for us, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) was prescient enough to equip KAGUYA with a pair of HD cameras that have managed to collect some stunning footage. Until now, JAXA has only posted low-res versions of its videos and high-def-quality still ...
