  • Chrome Dev Channel Enables Extension Sync by Default [Updates]


    Click here to read Chrome Dev Channel Enables Extension Sync by Default

    Reader choebear writes in to point out that if you’re using the Dev channel of Google Chrome, you no longer need to use the command-line switch to enable extension sync in Chrome—extension syncing is now enabled by default. To use it, just open Chrome's Options/Preferences and head to the Personal Stuff tab. Looks like this actually happened earlier this month and it slipped past us, but the default integration likely means extension syncing is getting closer to the stable release, which is great news.

  • Panasonic to spend $9.4b on buying out Sanyo and PEW shares, posts robust quarterly profits

    Clearly dissatisfied with what it sees in the mirror, Panasonic has today announced its decision to bulk up. A new share issue expected to raise ¥500 billion ($5.7 billion) will be enacted soon as part of raising the cash to complete the buyout of Sanyo Electric and Panasonic Electric Works. Don't ask us why a company named Panasonic has to buy another company with Panasonic in its name, but them's the facts. The total outlay is expected to come in at around $9.4 billion and is justified by Panasonic as fundamental to its future strategy of expanding into environmentally friendly tech and developing a three-pronged operating paradigm by 2012. The Osaka-based company is also reporting a ¥43.7b ($498 million) profit for the last quarter — a major upswing from a ¥53b loss in the same period last year — though that's information the market seems to have ignored. Panasonic shares have plunged down 7.7% in the immediate aftermath of the acquisitions being announced, while Sanyo's have shot up. Click past the break for the novella-sized press release explaining the details of the deal.

  • Sony’s 360-degree RayModeler 3D display brings its glasses-free act to LA, plays Breakout (video)

    Sony talked up its cylindrical no-glasses 3D 360-degree prototype display last fall, and now it’s showing off the tech, dubbed RayModeler 3D, on US soil at SIGGRAPH 2010 through tomorrow. A major bonus of that showcase is an English language video — embedded after the break, plus a hands on including a game of Pong Breakout from Core77 and our videos from the Japanese exhibition — showing how it all works, including the eight-camera rig and turntable that capture objects in 45-degree separations before they are interpolated to create a continuous 360-degree motion image. Sony claims this is the first of its type capable of high quality images, full color and interactive live motion — check it out and imagine keeping a tiny 3D pet or floating, disembodied head on your bedside table, where it can respond and react to your every gesture. We wouldn’t want our blip-verts any other way.
