We ve been fans of the Verizon FiOS Internet service for about two-and-a-half years now, and as soon as FiOS TV was available for Gear Live HQ, we were first in our area to subscribe to that service as well. Aside from the uncompressed signal that they send through, the service has some features that make it truly unique, like the integration of Facebook and Twitter right on the DVR. I had some of my friends over to show off FiOS TV, and we had the cameras going to capture it all. Hit play for a look at what went down. If you re curious about Verizon FiOS, be sure to hit up the Facts on FiOS site for details. A big thank you to Verizon for helping make the party happen!

In this episode we open up the DJ Hero Renegade edition set. DJ Hero is the new turntable-based rhythm game featuring hip-hop, electronic, and rock music, and the Renegade Edition has a bunch of premium touches, and is also available just for a limited time. We show it all in this edition of Unboxing Live. By the way, if you like music and haven t played DJ Hero, you owe it to yourself to check it out. In our opinion, this is better than any Guitar Hero or Rock Band game that has come before it, in the way that you interact with the music, and the totally unique pairings that they throw at you. We are definitely DJ Hero believers! You can pick up DJ Hero on Amazon. Tags: dj, dj hero, eminem, games, hip-hop, jay-z, music, opening, turntables, unboxing, video games

President Obama traveled to Florida to announce smart grid funding at a solar farm unveiling, because using solar energy there exemplifies what is smart about smart grids. After all, Florida has 343 sunny days per year, and yet it generates most of its electricity by burning fossil fuels. Look for municipalities to increasingly turn to local alternative energy generation in your neighborhood over the next decade. R.C.J. President Obama announced $3.4 billion in stimulus subsidies for smarter electricity generation and distribution in a new Recovery Act program. Slated to bring the total number of smart meters to 40 million, or more than 30 percent of U.S. households, the new program will consist of 100 grants in 49 states. Speaking at DeSoto Next-Generation Solar Energy Center (Arcadia, Fla.), Obama unveiled the $3.4 billion in stimulus subsidies, which will balloon to $8.1 billion with required matching funds from utility companies.
