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

A few days ago, we hit you with our Snow Leopard Review, and interspersed some videos into it. We admit, 2000 words may have been a bit much, and a bunch of you wrote in asking for one video review. Well, we ve stitched together some of the Snow Leopard videos we ve done, and put them all in one for a Snow Leopard video review. Mind you, this isn t a full review of the entire operating system. Instead, we take a look at four or five new things that you, as a user, will see as new, different, or enhanced. In this video we look at the Finder, Expose, Dock Expose, Stacks, and a comparison between Quicktime X and Quicktime 7. We hope you enjoy it, but if you just want our quick opinion - go ahead and pick up Snow Leopard. It s worth it. In fact, you can pick up Snow Leopard at a discount on Amazon, saving yourself even more cash off the already inexpensive price: Snow Leopard Upgrade: $24.99 (14% off) Snow Leopard 5-User Family Pack: $43.99 (10% off) Snow Leopard Mac Box Set: $149.99 (11% off) Snow Leopard Mac Box Set Family Pack: $199.99 (13% off) Tags: 64-bit, amazon, amazon deals, apple, dock expose, expose, finder, mac, mac os x 10.6, os x, quicktime x, snow leopard, snow leopard deals, snow leopard review, stacks, videos

My pal Robert Scoble announced that the Yelp iPhone and iPod touch app that was recently updated included a hidden Augmented Reality feature. Obviously, as soon as we saw, we had to give it a shot, and we figured we d do it on video. Augmented Reality apps use the camera on the iPhone, along with overlaid information, to present location data while looking at the real world - it s very cool, and you can expect a bunch more of these types of apps to make an appearance on the App Store very shortly upon the release of iPhone OS 3.1. In this demo, we show you how to unlock the Monocle mode in the Yelp app, and also give you a look at what exactly it does. For now, our early opinion is that it s a cool idea it just needs to be refined a bit to be truly useful.

We were able to spend some quality time with the Zune HD a couple of days ago, and we put together this video walkthrough of the interface on the device. Unfortunately, we weren t connected to Wi-Fi, so we weren;t able to show web browsing, downloading from the Marketplace, or Social, but this gives you a really good idea of what to expect when you get pick up your Zune HD (available for pre-order now) come September 15th. Our favorite feature? I ll probably be using the pinned items on the side quite a bit, especially for the recently synched stuff. Quick access to things like that have been much needed on touch devices. A runner up would have to be the quick scroll in the music browser. Again, it saves you on just quickly swiping a bunch of times, hoping to get to the right spot. All in all, we re impressed. Of course, we will have a full Zune HD review when we get our own device. For now, be sure to read up on everything we know about the Zune HD.
