The Nikon S80 is the latest in Nikon‘s long line of pocket shooters. Nikon’s magically engineers managed to cram everything from a 14.1 MP CMOS sensor capable of 720p movies, a 5x optical zoom, and Nikon’s Expeed C2 image processor into a body less than 0.7-inches thick. The rear panel houses an auto-rotating 3.5-inch touchscreen [...]

With the competition between brick and mortar and online stores, instant gratification is key. No one wants to wait when all their friends are playing the latest game, and Amazon knows that. In order to be competitive, 1Up reports that Amazon has decided to drop the shipping price to $0.99 on release day titles, on [...]
According to the designer, the Power Plug is designed to protect children. I actually thing that this particular device isn’t such a great item for a house with children because of the bright colors, but the concept is interesting at least. The original concept is from Luofang Jun, and while you can’t currently use this [...]
We’ve seen a lot of TVs announced before and during IFA this year. That makes sense — it’s a consumer electronics show, after all. And I guarantee that most if not all of those sets will have their 3D capability touted. It’s a dangerous move, since so many consumers are wary of 3D — not [...]
This Android app is charmingly anachronistic. Instead of simply letting you transfer files to others over the internet, Yves Raimond built an app that uses actual locations to provide downloads. Using the phone’s GPS, you cache the file to specific coordinates or an address, and anyone else with the app can download that file if [...]
Asus just had a new Lamborghini labeled product get approved by the FCC, for better or worse. The new mouse joins an already varied and colorful line of ill-advised products. I mean, really? Who buys a Lamborghini licensed mouse or laptop? If you own the car, you probably buy something a bit more high end, [...]
If you’ve been thinking about buying a Playstation Move (and I recommend at least trying it, it’s quite good), you probably have a few questions, ranging from the usual “what are the prices for bundles” to “can I change the color of the ball” and other more specific stuff. The official Playstation Blog has put [...]
The Canon G series has been a fan favorite. The cameras in that series constantly offer near-DSLR performance in a compact size, but Nikon has so far not been able to produce such a product. The upcoming P7000 seems to be worthy of the title of G series fighter. Nikon has yet to announce the [...]
Will 2011 be the Year of the Electric Car? Mitsubishi just announced that they will sell an upgraded i-MiEV for less than $30,000 sans the $7,500 federal tax credit complete with improved standard features and better interior. Take that, Nissan Leaf. The tiny car – it looks like a Fiat Siecento – obviously is aimed at the [...]
Meet the Origin Big O. It’s an Xbox 360 and high-end gaming PC combined in one rather hulking device. It doesn’t even have a pedestrian Intel Core iX processor. No, sir, for it packs a Xeon X5680 that can be overclocked to 4.3GHz. I suppose if you need to run 18 instances of World of [...]
