Shownotes:
Skype is coming to the iPhone this Tuesday. It will allow you to make Skype to Skype calls, Skype to regular phone number calls, and can be used with a second gen iPod Touch. It won’t be available for Blackberry users until May.
Sling Media submitted SlingPlayer Mobile to Apple for approval. If all goes well, we’ll soon have recorded and live TV on our iPhones.
Nature Neuroscience documented a study that shows adults who play action video games can improve their eyesight. Now I’m thinking I really need a PS3, but I’ll wait for the rumored price drop.
C. Crane released a new LED bulb that uses much less energy and lasts for 30,000 hours. It costs $120 per bulb, though, so replacing your entire house would be an expensive job.
