The days of being tied to a traditional TV to watch your favorite shows is becoming less and less of a dream — at least for Mediaroom 2.0 users, like those who subscribe to AT&T U-Verse. It hasn’t even been a full year since Xbox 360 owners were first able to launch a U-Verse blade to watch TV, but it has been about nine months when we first heard rumors of Mediaroom clients for Windows Media Center (aka Monaco), Silverlight (aka Taos) and Windows Phone (aka Rome) would see the light of day. A recent post on William Zhang’s blog, a Microsoft employee, confirms the rumored code names in addition to giving us reason to believe those using Mediaroom 2.0 software might still realize the three screen dream by the end of 2011 after all.

Jaybird’s been pretty quiet about its latest Bluetooth offering. In fact, the company actually sneaked a few of its JF3 Freedom sports headphones into some stores back in April, but they quickly ran out of stock — we imagine it was either a test run or the product needed some tweaking. Regardless, we’ve just been informed that the JF3 will finally be available to all starting next week, with Jaybird’s online store currently taking pre-orders for a pop (including free delivery), followed by wider availability at retail stores in late July. What’s more, these sweat-proof stereo buds are now enhanced with new blade-like silicon ear cushions — head past the break to watch Jaybird founder Judd Armstrong ecstatically shake his head to show off the secure fit.

Apple uses multiple vendors in interchangeable ways to make a single product, but rarely if ever do performance specs change when this happens. Not so with the MacBook Air! The Toshiba bits that are inside my Air, from October, are actually slower than those in the latest batch, which house an SSD blade from Samsung. Grumble, grumble. [TUAW] More »

Robert De Niro built it in Scorsese’s ‘Taxi Driver,’ but Erik Beck builds it for cheap! In this episode, Erik builds the infamous Quick-Draw Sleeve Gun that is most recognizable in the 1976 film ‘Taxi-Driver,’ but also appears in ‘Desperado’ and ‘Alien Ressurection.’ You could also use this to build the hidden blade from the video game Assassins Creed. Using the slider from a drawer and masterful welding, Erik creates his own version of this secret weapon. Don’t forget to check out the BFX ‘Original Short’ for this build, too.
