Pogue Reviews Sony A300 DSLR: Live View "Perfection"

The big shebang on Sony's latest entry-level DSLRs, the a300 and a350, is their two-way tilt-y live view. Pogueman takes a peek today and really digs it: "Live View on existing cameras is slow, noisy and deeply confusing" but on the a300 it's "a completely different experience." More »

Where Is David Pogue's MacBook Air Review?

Wednesday night around this time, we like to check in with our favorite columnists. Tonight we expected MacBook Air reviews from Walt Mossberg at WSJ, Ed Baig at USA Today, Steven Levy at Newsweek and of course, David Pogue at the venerable New York Times. Only, when I refreshed my browser at 9pm, Pogue's Jan. 24 State of the Art column turned out to cover Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac and MacSpeech Dictate, rather than the far sexier (and more controversial) MacBook Air. UPDATE: Pogue scoops the other A-Team members by reviewing the Macbook Air on the Macworld show floor. His response in the comments. [First MacBook Air Reviews]

More Sling Player Upgrades Coming

Pogue reviews the Slingbox Solo, but the news is that the Sling Client is getting an upgrade in the shape of local pause and rewind controls. That's cool because you don't have to deal with the stream delay while trying to rewind or pause the TiVo back home remotely. More »

Pogue Reviews the OLPC


David Pogue is right about the OLPC in his NYTimes column this week. For those of you who haven't kept up with the changes in the One Laptop Per Child he sums it up nicely, demoing all the engineering miracles in the machine, addressing the low minded complaints of "snarky bloggers" (Where?!), going on to explain why it's an interesting and important thing for the developing world. The video does a great job, so I'll recommend you watch the video above. It definitely convinced me: Even more so than water or malaria shots or food, kids in third world countries need this PC. (David, I'm kidding. Nice column this week.) [NYTimes]

Pogue and Woz in the Geeks on Board Cruise Documentary DVD

Director Abe Greenwald just released his documentary of what goes on during Geeks on Board cruises, featuring Woz and David Pogue, among others. This is a trailer. Best part is when they go ashore to some exotic local and everyone lays on the beach far from the water, with laptops in tow. Gotta be hard to see the screens under those conditions, eh? [Amazon]

Pogue Sees Eye-to-Eye With Vudu Video-on-Demand Box (Verdict: Mostly Great)

Pushing out his review a bit before the official embargo lifted last night, our favorite Times wonder-reporter put the video store in a box, Vudu, through its paces and walked away mostly happy with the experience. Brownie points for: picture quality, slick five-button remote, pay-per-flick, and truly instant viewing. Buts: More »

Pogue Reviews Waterproof Cams, Sanyo Xacti E1 Floats Above the Competition

Pogue takes a a few waterproof cams down to the local waterpark for testing and finds Sanyo's 6MP Xacti E1 to be of better image and video quality than the rest. I've always found the Xacti cam's nice, but the low light performance to be lacking. That doesn't matter when you're talking about beach and pool time, however. I believe its image quality is better than the other cams in this roundup, but it's only rated to 5 feet of depth. More »

Latest by scrag: I think it's probably optimal for these cameras to be negatively buoyant. If they floated, they'd be that much more difficult to take pictures with at depth. Ideally, you want them to be neutrally buoyant - but I'll take negatively more »

iPhone Applecare $80$69 For an Extra Year, Says Pogue [UPDATED: Confirmed]

[UPDATED: Confirmed at $69.] Applecare is supposed to be available for the iPhone this month, and the price may be $80. Joel Johnson, walker-of-Gizmodo-halls-of-lore, noticed this statement in Pogue's Missing Manual PDF, on page 277: "The iPhone comes with a one-year warranty. If you buy an Applecare contract ($80) you're covered for a second year. If, during the coverage period, anything goes wrong that's not your fault, Apple will fix it for free." Apple neither confirms or denies this price, but The NYTimes tech columnist is pretty damn good as far as sources go. [UPDATE: Nope, this wasn't a final copy of the book, so it will have to be corrected at $69.][iPhone Missing Manual via JJ's Dethroner]

Nobody Picks on Pogue But Me

OMG, the internet is beating up Pogue for his iPhone video. We like picking on the guy, even when we're praising the authoritative, yet mainstream-accessible NYTimes gadget columnist. (See our photoshop contest entitled "Make David Pogue Cool".) And we've had our share of blog fights with the guy. But when I see the Huff Po, Valleywag, and others take shots at him without understanding how annoying it was for a gadget journalist to actually have to make a fair verdict of the iPhone amidst the buzz and anti-buzz, well, it doesn't seem right. I mean, just because you hate your job doesn't mean the rest of us have to. It's a phone, relax, people. More »

The iPhone Period Trick

Some of you iPhone users have been complaining about the period key being banished to the numbers and symbols keyboard layout. Well quit your whining, here's a quick and easy way to get around that. All you have to do is press and hold the numbers key, and without lifting your finger slide it over to the period (or any other punctuation mark) and let go. Ba-da-bing you've got yourself a period and the keyboard has automatically switched back to letters again.

Opinions Side-By-Side In Our iPhone Review Matrix


If you were too lazy to actually read the four iPhone reviews that came out last night, we've done the hard part and stuck the most salient tidbits into a chart, hoping to see both agreement and dissent among the elders: David Pogue of the New York Times, Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal, Ed Baig of USA Today and Steven Levy of Newsweek. (What happened to Lev Grossman at Time Magazine? He usually gets the Apple stuff early too.) Jump for our painstakingly created review matrix—it's fun to notice what words they all use, and when one totally disagrees with the rest. More »
