drag2share: CHART OF THE DAY: iPads May Soon Cost More Than Big Screen TVs (AAPL)

Sometime in 2013, it might be cheaper to buy a big fancy TV than a sleek iPad. Just goes to show: building and selling TVs is a low-margin, commoditized business. Building and selling iPads is not. 

This chart is from Bloomberg.

Source: http://lifehacker.com/5835868/most-popular-hard-drive-space-analyzer-windirstat

When your hard drive is full of junk and you have no idea what's taking up all of the space, you have plenty of options to help you sort out which files are necessary and which can be archived or deleted. Last week we asked you which apps you use to analyze your hard drive and see what's using all of your storage. Then we took a look at the top five based on your nominations and put them to a vote. Now we're back to highlight the winner.

WinDirStat was the clear winner with over 65% of the vote. No one else even came remotely close, with the second place prize going to TreeSize, with close to 12%. Third place went to SpaceSniffer, coming in with under 10%, and DaisyDisk for Mac took fourth with just under 9%. Bringing up the rear is Space Monger, with 4.5% of the votes cast.

drag2share: Dish Network's Tailgater brings you portable satellite TV, won't cool your beer (video)

When it comes to refrigerating beer and grilling burgers, you're on your own. If you're looking for satellite television in the back of your truck before the game (pictured), on the other hand, Dish Network's Tailgater can certainly help. First hinted at back in May, the ten pound box automatically locates satellite positions, offering up HD content on the go for owners of Dish's ViP 211k HD receiver. The box runs $350 and is apparently rather easy to set up, making it a pretty enticing option for those who absolutely need to watch a sporting event in the parking lot while waiting to get into a sporting event. Infomercially video after the break.

drag2share: Samsung Galaxy S II LTE heads to Rogers for 4G fall debut

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/30/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-lte-heads-to-rogers-for-4g-fall-debut/

Our neighbors to the north just got a one-two punch of wireless awesome delivered courtesy of Rogers. The operator announced today that its variant of Samsung's heavily lusted after Galaxy S II will be launching with baked-in LTE functionality on its nascent 4G network. Most of the handset's specs have remained the same, aside from a newly beefed-up 1.5GHz dual-core processor, NFC functionality and Hercules-sized 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus display. If you're proud to call yourself Canadian and "download speeds of up to 100Mbps" get your blood pumping, then expect to snag Sammy's beast phone when it goes on sale before Autumn's end.

Update: Interestingly, the Rogers site lists the Galaxy S II LTE as featuring a 1.2GHz CPU instead of the 1.5GHz slice of silicon that was announced only days ago. It may be a typo, or the Canadian carrier may have its version underclocked for a longer battery life. We've reached out for clarification and will update when we hear back.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

drag2share: Elgato EyeTV Mobile dongle brings live TV to the iPad 2

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/30/elgato-eyetv-mobile-dongle-brings-live-tv-to-the-ipad-2/

Sure, Elgato already has an app that lets you stream TV to your iPad -- but that's only if they're being broadcast online. To pull in live TV over the air you'd need a TV-tuner, something that has, until now, been unavailable for Apple's popular slate. By the end of September that lack of broadcast television will become just a distant memory with the release of EyeTV Mobile, a £100 (about $163) dongle that connects to the iPad's proprietary port. The tuner will be able to pull in MPEG 2 streams over DVB-T, but won't work with DVB-T2 broadcasts like Freeview HD. Check out the source for more details.
