WildStar beta is coming this winter
Winter is coming, and with it -- the WildStar beta! That's right fans, the wait is almost over; come December, players will be able to experience the sci-fi game for themselves as well as help test it in preparation for its spring 2014 launch. If you want to sign up for a chance at beta, head over to the official site to apply. On top of that, according to Carbine, players should be "ready to be drowned in WildStar details from now through launch." That information will include the reveal of the final two classes, but not before all the other classes are re-introduced to show off the progress made on each. Be on the look out for more episodes of the new livestream series that debuted this week to help bring you this deluge of news. In the meantime, enjoy the teaser trailer below.

Samsung's See'N'Search set-top box automagically connects internet, TV
Samsung -- not satisfied with people using their TVs and set top boxes to, y'know, watch TV -- has announced its See'N'Search set-top box. Separate from its Media Center Extender and RSS-enabled HDTVs, this box pores over channel guide info and closed caption metadata to find and suggest accompanying video or websites from the internets to go with your episode of Bold & the Beautiful. This is better than actually getting up and using a computer to find Youtube spoofs, because it's automatic, and accessible via the remote's "More Info" button, which can then send said info to a phone or PC via Wi-Fi. With a press release short on details of how this tech will get out of Samsung's R&D center and into our home theater, we're not throwing out our HTPCs just yet.
