10 Gadgets to Make Your Deck Nicer Than Your House

$800

All-in-one projectors?which come with sound systems and DVD players baked in?are basically built for the outdoors. It takes just a single power plug to get them running, with no messy audio cords or HDMI cables.

This Epson is the best of the batch for one simple reason: It subs out the DVD player for a built-in iPad/iPhone/iPod dock. Not only does this allow you to seamlessly stream any videos you happen to have on your gadget, but it also lets you project video-streaming apps such as Netflix, effectively turning your iDevice into an endless supplier of projector fodder. Pro tip: If you don't have a fancy outdoor projection screen, just grab a white sheet and a couple of clamps for an instant outdoor theater.

Siri six months later: Community report card

Siri, the iPhone 4S' flagship feature has been on the market now for 6 months. On one hand, Siri is absolutely amazing -- the first real virtual personal assistant with a personality right out of Pixar. On the other hand, Siri is obviously still in beta and often fails or works just enough to frustrate more than any outright failure. That makes it an odd choice for a flagship feature, but given the lack of a physical redesign and the obvious potential for awesome demos, rightly or wrongly, Siri was what Apple had to work with. But does it work for us?

Google badmouths HTTP behind its back, proposes SPDY as a speedy successor

If there's anything that Google doesn't like, it's things that collect dust. The company is famous for its annual spring cleaning efforts, in which the firm rids itself of redundant and dead-end projects, along with more bullish moves, such as its push to overhaul the internet's DNS system. Now it's looking to replace HTTP with a new protocol known as SPDY, and to that end, it's demonstrating the potential speed gains that one might expect on a mobile network. According to the company's benchmarks, mean page load times on the Galaxy Nexus are 23 percent faster with the new system, and it hypothesizes that further optimizations can be made for 3G and 4G networks. To its credit, Google has already implemented SPDY in Chrome, and the same is true for Firefox and Amazon Silk. Even Microsoft appears to be on-board. As a means to transition, the company proposes an Apache 2.2 module known as mod_spdy, which allows web servers to take advantage of features such as stream multiplexing and header compression. As for HTTP, it's no doubt been a reliable companion, but it seems that it'll need to work a bit harder to earn its keep. Stay weird, Google, the internet wouldn't be the same without you.
