Vonage, Nortel call a truce — no cash changing hands
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets
Although the press release issued to announce the settlement between Vonage and AT&T earlier this month is still the shortest we’ve seen in all of 2007, we’re pretty certain the one doled out to trumpet the truce between Vonage and Nortel is holding down the two-spot. In just five wee sentences, we learn that the two have agreed in principle to end the litigation pending between ‘em, and though no cash will be changing hands, the agreement does involve a limited cross license to three patents per firm. Way to put the past behind before entering into the new year, we say.

DIY time lapse intervalometer saves dough, improves creativity
Filed under: Digital Cameras
We know you’ve had plenty of time to recreate that shutter release hack, and if you found yourself impressed with the results, you’re bound to adore this one. Eagleapex has struck again with yet another swank camera mod, this time giving DSLR owners an easy (and affordable) method for handling time lapse photography. Granted, this creation isn’t the simplest to build, and there’s still a few notable limitations that keep it from supreme greatness — namely the inaccurate interval setting and the occasionally problematic short output pulse — but neither of those quirks are ones that pros can’t remedy when concocting their own. Check out a video of the results after the jump, and don’t ever say that watching ice melt is a bore.

Filed under: Announcements
It’s (still) New Year’s Eve out here in the States, meaning in a few more hours you’ll not only see what it’s like to live in the future (i.e. 2008), but you’ll also lose your last chance to enter to win two round trip tickets on JetBlue (and some noise canceling headphones, to boot). Check out the rules, and to the young’ns out there, remember: if someone tells you that you’re going to a “key party” tonight, we recommend you politely bow out.

LG & Mark Levinson launching two home theater systems at CES
Filed under: Home Entertainment
We didn’t have to wait long to hear more about Mark Levinson’s partnership with LG, resulting in two new home theater systems to launch at CES 2008. No longer limited to audiophiles searching eBay auctions for discontinued equipment, the AP3133 and LHT888 promise a high end AV experience at “astonishing” — albeit TBA — prices. The AP3133 HTIB puts LG’s Super Blu BH200 dual-format player at the heart of a 7.1-channel system with 150 watts x 7 ICEpower output, multi-input HDMI switching, Burr-Brown PCM and Audessey Auto Room Multi EQ adjustment. The LHT888 fulfills our needs for a champagne-glass styled HT system, with each speaker in a tapered, integrated pedestal, to math the 1080p upscaling, DivX / MP3 / JPEG / DVD playing 700W 5.1-channel receiver. Prices (and pics) are due at LG’s press conference January 6th.
