TC Cribs: Sliding Through YouTube?s Double Rainbow (Gnomes!)

We're back with a new episode of TC Cribs, and it's featuring one of the most tricked-out offices yet: YouTube.

Yes, the world's biggest archive of cute cat videos (among other things) invited us to take a stroll through their halls, which are brimming with nifty artifacts, viral video memorabilia, and gnomes. A lot of gnomes.

There's also a big surprise that comes around two-thirds through the episode that had me hurting for a couple of days. Don't miss it!

Griffin's Multidock system charges and syncs up to 30 iPads at once

Don't you hate it when all of your iPads collectively run out of juice? Well, praise Griffin for announcing its first business centric iOS "accessory" in the shape of the Multidock. It has its own power connection for simultaneous charging of ten iPads, but it can be chain-linked to two other docks for syncing of up to 30 tablets with a single Mac. With each server-esque tower measuring up at 18.6 inches (47.2 cm) tall and priced even higher at $700, this one's for IT pros and Scrabble aficionados only.

Samsung offers Apple a deal to allow Galaxy Tab 10.1 sales in Australia

Could Apple and Samsung's Australian patent battle be nearing an end? We're not sure yet, but things are looking slightly rosier, now that Sammy has approached its rival with a proposed compromise. As the Wall Street Journal reports, Samsung offered Apple a deal today that would allow its Galaxy Tab 10.1 to hit the Australian market as early as next week. Justice Annabelle Bennett pointed out that the agreement wouldn't allow Samsung to receive a final ruling on the dispute, but attorney David Catterns explained that it would at least allow the manufacturer to sell its slate ahead of this year's holiday shopping rush. Less clear, however, is what Apple would stand to gain from any compromise. The company's lawyer, Stephen Burley, acknowledged that "[Samsung's] inconvenience would be diminished and we would be comforted" by an agreement, though the details behind Samsung's offer remain unclear, and Burley declined to elaborate upon Apple's stance after today's hearing. As always, we'll keep you up to date with the latest.Samsung offers Apple a deal to allow Galaxy Tab 10.1 sales in Australia originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 30 Sep 2011 05:58:00 EDT.

Video: AlphaDog Is A Bigger, Faster, Quieter BigDog

I'm sure all of you remember BigDog, the utterly terrifying biomimetic robot platform that dances over rough terrain on weird legs and makes a sound like it's full of angry bees. You didn't think they were going to give up on it, did you? No, it's been a rousing success apparently, so much so that they decided to build one that outdoes the original in every way.

The AlphaDog, as they're calling it, was created to be basically the practical version of BigDog, which, while compelling and scary, was too loud and couldn't carry enough stuff. AlphaDog, on the other hand, can carry 400 pounds of gear for 20 miles in a day, without needing to be refueled.

Tango releases video calling on PCs, we go hands-on (video)

It's been exactly a year since Tango's free video calling service hit iOS and Android smartphones, and the startup is marking its anniversary with another big release: Tango for PCs. We had a chance to catch up with CTO Eric Setton and the crew, and gave Tango's latest a test-run -- let's just say it's been a very good year for these guys. Earlier this month, Microsoft teased Tango as the harbinger of video calling for Mango, and, since its debut, the outfit's drawn in over 23 million users. So how did Tango fare in its move from the handset to the desktop? We'd say it's a smooth transition -- perhaps too smooth. Check out our first impressions after the break.Continue reading Tango releases video calling on PCs, we go hands-on (video)Tango releases video calling on PCs, we go hands-on (video) originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 30 Sep 2011 08:00:00 EDT.
