Robin Gibb Stuns Doctors After Emerging From Coma

Bee Gees member Robin Gibb shocked his doctors over the weekend when he emerged from a weeklong coma. The 62-year-old disco icon lapsed into a coma after contracting pneumonia during his battle with cancer.

According to BBC News, a family spokesperson said Gibb, 62, was able to nod and communicate with the members of his family who've held a vigil in his London hospital room. Gibb has been battling colon and liver cancer and in February he said he'd made a "spectacular" recovery from the disease, but was soon back in the hospital for surgery.

The "Saturday Night Fever" singer had bowel surgery 18 months ago for an unrelated condition, at which time doctors discovered a tumor and diagnosed him with colon cancer. It appeared as if the cancer was in remission as recently as last month.

Weakened from chemotherapy and two operations, Gibb lapsed into the coma last week after contracting pneumonia. Dr. Andrew Thillainayagam said on Friday that he had warned the singer's family that Robin might not wake up. In a statement, Thillainayagam said Gibb remains in intensive care and is, "exhausted, extremely weak and malnourished." He's breathing with the help of an oxygen mask and needs intravenous feeding and antibiotics.

He added, "It is testament to Robin's extraordinary courage, iron will and deep reserves of physical strength that he has overcome quite incredible odds to get where he is now." Wife Dwina, and sons Robin-John and Spencer and daughter Melissa have been at Gibb's side talking to him and playing his favorite music.

ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 review

ASUS TF300

ASUS is in a bit of a pickle, but it's one that most manufacturers would love to be in. When designing the Transformer Pad TF300, they had to ask themselves how to refresh what has become an iconic symbol to Android tablet fans. The original ASUS Eee Pad Transformer was a big hit for the company last year, and anyone who has used one can tell you why. It's a great tablet in its own right, but the addition of an excellent keyboard dock puts it on a sort of a pedestal to the folks using it. It's more than a tablet, it's not quite a laptop, but it found a way to fill a need most people didn't realize was there to fill. To describe it in one word -- genius.

In this case the question is more difficult than the answer. You simply take what works, keep it the way people love it, and put the best hardware and software under the screen. The addition of the Tegra 3 SoC, and ASUS' special blend of Ice Cream Sandwich to the formula is exactly how the TF300 should have been done, and is how it was done. Hit the break to see if it worked.


The Good

A great tablet in its own right, and the addition of the keyboard dock puts it in a league of its own. The Tegra 3 chip chews through multimedia and gaming like butter, and the quality control on our unit was excellent. there's also a surprisingly good 1.3MP front facing camera, which works great for videoconferencing. 

The Bad

The audio, while loud enough, sounds a bit tinny and there was obvious crackling at full volume. Not enough to be concerned about normally, but ASUS is touting a "Supreme" audio experience and I'm not feeling it. Video artifacts are apparent on the display while the tablet is docked in the keyboard. 

Conclusion

There's a lot of choice if you are in the market for an Android tablet. If the idea of having the docking station appeals to you, and you don't want to spend a little extra for a slightly better display on the Prime, the TF300 is a perfect choice. Even if you're not interested in a docking station, the Tegra 3 and very clear front facing camera makes the TF300 a wise purchase.

Death for DVD, up with Streaming Video [Infographic] | WebProNews

Although physical DVD?s are still bringing in a lot of revenue for movie studios, they are slowly joining the ranks of Betamax, VHS, and Laserdisc. We all know it?s coming, in todays online streaming video world, DVD?s are the tools of dinosaurs.

There?s a lot of factors contributing to fall of DVD, but certainly a couple main reasons are cost and convenience. Who wants to drive all over town searching for the hottest new release when it can be much easier found by switching on your computer, if you ever really turn it off anyway. The average consumer cost for an online movie is $0.51, as compared to $4.72 for a DVD copy. That?s a dramatic cost difference and it doesn?t include the time and fuel used to go track the movie down.

Walmart recently introduced a program linked to their streaming VUDU service which allows customers to trade physical DVD?s for rights to an online streaming version for about $2 for regular formats, and $5 for high definition. I like the sounds of that. I would love to clear all those old DVD?s out of the closet.

This next infographic from Onlinedegrees.com fills us in on the state of DVD?s and what?s brewing in the online media world today. Movies are big business, but the days of DVD are numbered. Take a look:

AT&T Translator app hands-on: smashing the language barrier (video)

AT&T Translator app hands-on: smashing the language barrier

Translation apps aren't exactly the newest or sexiest thing in the world of technology, but we've got to hand it to AT&T for whipping up a rather impressive demo. The company showed off a next-gen version of its AT&T Translator app, which may one day allow people to communicate in real time regardless of their spoken language. The app uses the carrier's new Watson Speech API, in this case via a VoIP call on a pair of iPads, to not only transcribe dialog, but translate it from English to Spanish (and vice-versa), then play it back in the target tongue using a computer generated voice. This isn't like the Google Translate app on your phone -- the translation happens in near real time, with only a slight latency as your words are fed through the system. The demo wasn't without its hitches (the room was noisy and filled with bloggers totting wireless devices), but it went more or less as planned, and our gracious hosts were able to complete a call requesting a taxi cab. One day AT&T hopes to make this a standard feature of its services, eliminating the language barrier once and for all. To see the app in action check out the video after the break.

Latest Rumors Peg An LTE iPhone For An October Release, LiquidMetal To Be Used For The Casing

iphoneAfter a period of unnerving quietness, the Apple rumor mill is back up and running at full capacity producing two somewhat credible rumors over the last 24 hours. The next iPhone will not be announced until October if the latest rumors are believed. A separate rumor is just so wild that it might be true: The iPhone 5, or whatever it's to be called, will be made of LiquidMetal, which will allow for a unique unibody construction. But again, these are just unfounded rumors. Please proceed with caution.
