Must See HDTV for the week of January 20th: Black Sails, Sleepy Hollow and Workaholics
While football takes a breath before the Super Bowl in two weeks, others rush in to fill the gap. The NBA has a full slate of games scheduled for Sunday afternoon, while Starz will premiere its new Michael Bay-produced pirate series Black Sails (you can actually watch the entire first episode embedded after the break) on Saturday night. Netflix follows up its Oscar-nominated documentary The Square with another highly anticipated doc, as Mitt takes a look at the presidential candidate from inside his own campaign. Still, our eyes will be trained on the season finale of Sleepy Hollow tonight, and the return of Workaholics on Comedy Central later this week. Dead Rising 3 just pushed out a massive patch ahead of its DLC release tomorrow, while Blu-ray releases include Captain Phillips and a remastered version of the original Robocop. Check after the break for trailers plus our weekly listing of what to look out for in TV, Blu-ray and gaming.
Keyglove ditches QWERTY for one-handed computer control (video)
We've seen some pretty ambitious hand warmers in our day, but this one takes the cake. Keyglove is an Open Source Hardware (OSHW) project that's intended to eliminate those clunky keyboards and unmanageable mice from the computing process altogether, instead engaging a series of conductive sensors that, when touched together, mimic a keystroke. The mitt's creator says the traditional mobile keyboard is "either too big to be portable, or too small to be easy to use," adding that his solution would eventually become second nature just like touch typing. Keyglove is an Arduino and AVR-powered device that also incorporates an accelerometer to control mouse movements. It's apparently fully customizable and allows for a total of 60 unique touch combinations -- impressive, sure, but it took us long enough to figure out the home keys on the real thing. If you dream of a world full of one-handed typists, check out the video after the break, or follow the source link to find out how you can donate to the project.
