Snickers come easily when dealing with a product like the Stinky Footboard, to be announced later today. It has a corny name. The idea of a specialized foot-based input device for PC gaming seems spectacularly niche and nerdy.

The Seaboard Grand by London-based company Roli is an intriguing electronic musical instrument that looks almost organic. Modeled after a standard 88-key piano keyboard, the Seaboard lets keyboardists achieve various digital effects, such as pitch-bends, modulation, and timber changes, without the need for levers or foot pedals.
The main highlight of the Seaboard is its dark gray "keys" that are sensitive to finger pressure. All you see are a series of ridges of alternating sizes, much like the white and black keys on a regular keyboard. While the video below makes it look easy, we'd imagine that … Read more
Before long, you might be able to point your iPhone or other device at an object and call up an overlay of information.
Awarded to Apple today by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, a patent dubbed "Synchronized, interactive augmented reality displays for multifunction devices" highlights an augmented-reality system that would capture a live video feed of a real object to display on a portable device. The technology would then overlay information about that object on the device.
In one example cited in the patent, a user could point the camera of a portable device at a … Read more

Samsung's next flagship smartphone is here.
Samsung took the wraps off the Galaxy S4, the much awaited successor to the S3, at an event in New York tonight.
The handset, which has a 5-inch display, will be available on 327 carriers in 55 countries, starting in April. The company did not provide a price.
It packs new features like simultaneous shooting from dual cameras, "smart" scrolling and pausing that works by tracking eyeballs, health tracking, and a built-in language translator.
The phone will come in both black and white, which the company is calling "black mist" and "white frost."
As expected, the S4 has got an onslaught of new hardware and software features. Here's a quick rundown:… Read more

No matter whether you're deciding if you should wait and get the Samsung Galaxy S4 next week, making sure you don't have buyer's remorse from just having purchased your Galaxy S3, or perhaps just plain curious, CNET makes it easy to compare the two sibling handsets with this chart.
Physically, the GS4 didn't get any bigger. In fact, it even sports a thinner build and weighs a hair lighter. But with a slimmer bezel, its 5-inch full HD Super AMOLED touch screen had room to expand, and the display now sports a higher pixel density.
Also new is its quad- or octo-core processor. Similar to the situation when the GS3 debuted, which CPU is available will depend on where you live. The U.S. will receive the 1.9GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600.… Read more
