Polar Bears are typically pretty scary to encounter in real life, that is unless you have some protective glass between you and them of course.  Now what would happen if the glass was inside of the Polar Bear instead, and it was actually a 720p HDTV from Hannspree?  Well you would have yourself the CES [...]

Slingmedia showed off the beautiful new Sling Touch Control 100 this week at CES.

Police have recently begun installing remote controlled traffic lights in the most problematic areas. While every major city has its issues with traffic, I don’t think anyone has tried this before, [...]
