Griffin technology's Elan Form is a new hard-shell case for iphone 3G. On the outside it's top-grain leather; on the inside it's durable polycarbonate. It's relatively slim and features Griffin's new EasyDock design, which lets you slide the lower part...

Comprised of VastLane(TM) SiI9206 HDMI(TM) transmitter PHY semiconductor and companion link layer IP core, SiI9206 PHY IC extends battery life of handsets and prepares them for HD connection to HDTVs. Dual-mode interface solution supports HDMI specification and MHL(TM) technology interface. Latter reduces connector size by requiring 5 pins for full HD content delivery and accommodates multiple functions across shared pins, while link layer IP core can be targeted to any foundry or process.This story is related to the following:Communication Systems and EquipmentElectronic Components and DevicesComputer Hardware and PeripheralsSearch for suppliers of: Video Transmitters | Integrated Video Circuits

Deli Korkmaz writes 'The Washington Post reports that Sprint-Nextel spin-off Embarq, currently the US's fourth largest DSL provider, monitored Internet activity on some 26,000 customers in Kansas using deep-packet inspection technology NebuAd in order to deliver targeted advertising to users' desktops. CNet provides coverage as well. The House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce is investigating whether any privacy laws were broken. Users were informed of this test and invited to opt out only via Embarq's online Privacy Policy; a mere 15 subscribers did so.' of this story at Slashdot.

agent4256 writes 'Barbara Robertson over at Studio Daily put forth this article featuring the technical background for the production of The Dark Knight. With most of the film shot with IMAX cameras (producing a theoretical resolution of 18k), the studios could not handle the size. Instead, the cut the resolution more than in half down to 8K, the maximum resolution for scanned film. 'A single 8K frame requires 200 MB of data,' Franklin says. 'So we had to upgrade our whole infrastructure. We needed faster network speeds to move data around, massively beefed up servers, and — the most important thing — a new compositing solution.' To give you an idea of how far technology has taken us: 'In 1999, when we worked on Pitch Black [released in 2000], we needed to access 2 TB of data,' Franklin says. 'This show used over 100 TB of data.'' of this story at Slashdot.
