Bots — like the kind which automate IRC rooms and Google Wave — are a good thing to know about. There are plenty of useful bots worth knowing about, too, including the Google Talk Guru.
Just add guru@googlelabs.com to your GTalk buddies, and you can start firing off questions. Lifehacker suggests that the same types of queries supported by Google SMS will work, though we didn’t have any luck getting a response out of the Guru with phrases like “score detroit red wings” or “sushi R3N 1Y1.”
Still, Guru does answer a good variety of questions and it works right within your favorite IM app. It’s well worth adding to your friend list, especially for getting answers on the go on your mobile device of choice.

A few weeks ago we saw an unofficial Steam app hit the Android Market, but it offered limited functionality to end users. Steam owner Valve wants to be officially present, and has just added an official app to the Android Market. Not every user may access it though, as it is currently a part of a closed beta. The only way to get into said beta as of right… Read more
Take it with a big, fat grain of salt, but an unconfirmed report says Apple might release the iPhone 5 as early as this summer, and the phone will have a longer, wider chassis.

Hello, all! First things first. I’m here to extend an apology to you all. As you all probably know, we haven’t held an Untethered Podcast since December 29th. Sorry about that. Personally, I was moving across the state and trying to pack and prep for CES within a matter of two days. The next week, David and I were both at CES and constantly in search of… Read more

The first is a full-featured proxy API, which will, for example, allow users to set different proxy servers for normal browsing and Incognito mode. Proxy auto-config scripts are also supported by the API.
The second — Web Navigation Extension — is a bit more expansive. This API will allow devs to build everything from more powerful safe browsing extensions — like Traffic Light — to data analysis and reporting extensions.
Both APIs are currently experimental, so you’ll need to enable them on the about:flags page to try out any relevant extensions. Apart from a proxy example built by Google and shipped with the Chromium source, we’re not aware of any examples just yet, however. We’ll let you know when we spot any slick, new extensions which do surface.

Looks like Google wrapped up a bonus treat for ASUS Transformer Prime users inside their Ice Cream Sandwich update. Apparently, a new “experiments” function popped up inside of the native Gmail app. Generally speaking when dealing with Android, you want to be wary of anything labeled as “experimental” but in this case, you need not [...]

When we reviewed BitFenix’s Shinobi Window, we praised the company for managing to “pack a whole lotta class into its miniscule frame,” noting that the case stood “firmly in mid-tower territory” at 8.1 inches wide, 18.1 inches high, and 19.3 inches deep (you can read the full review here). If you believe that size matters and found yourself yearning for something bigger, you might be more interested in BitFenix’s new Shinobi XL, a bigger version of the original.
The Shinobi XL doesn’t have a side window option, or at least not yet, but it is an overall bigger chassis measuring about 9.6 inches wide, 22.4 inches high, and 21.9 inches deep. By super sizing the Shinobi, the XL version supports up to XL-ATX form factor motherboards.
“Since the introduction of our original Shinobi, fans have been writing in and posting in forums asking for a larger version,” says BitFenix Product Manager David Jarlestedt. “Boasting all new features and nearly limitless flexibility for modders and water cooling enthusiasts alike, Shinobi XL is a lot more than just a size update ? it’s a complete revamp.”
Like the original, the XL version sports meshed fan vents and a brushed aluminum logo on its SoftTouch exterior. Unlike the original, the XL model boasts nine PCI slots, four USB 3.0 ports, and a BitFenix SuperCharge port specifically designed for charging mobile devices with up to 2.5A of current.
Water cooling gurus can remove the FlexCage hard disk rack (which can also be rotated) to make room for a host of liquid cooling equipment, including a 360mm radiator on top, a 360mm radiator in front, or a 240mm radiator on the bottom. If you’re more into air cooling, BitFenix points out the Shinobi XL comes with two 230mm and a single 120mm Spectre fan, with additional fan mounts throughout the case.
BitFenix Shinobi XL will be available in March 2012 for $149.
