RIM Engineers Call Touchscreen Blackberry "Apple Killer"

A New York Times story about the iPhone's assault on Blackberry-maker RIM has a couple of interesting bits in it, notably that RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis isn't a fan of touchscreens ("I couldn't type on it and I still can't type on it, and a lot of my friends can't type on it") but RIM's hard at work on the long-rumored touchscreen Blackberry anyway, which RIM engineers have privately dubbed "the A.K.—for 'Apple Killer.'"

NASA Lunar Chariot Tested by NYT Earthling (Verdict: Best Rims in Outer Space)

NASA's Lunar Chariot, which costs a reported $2 million to build, has just been tested by the NYT. The top speed of 15 mph may not set tarmac on fire, but it sure as hell can burn a truckload of astro stuff, all with it's six-wheeled wackiness trailing closely behind. The front driving "turret" houses the primary control; a joystick for steering, as well as various cameras and sensors, the feedback of which is relayed to the onboard screen. John Schwartz, the NYT reporter sent out to run the test, didn't get to drive the buggy itself, but he was offered the passenger's seat / stand, and here's what he made of it.

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]

NYTimes: CES Sucks

The NYTimes has a piece on CES suggesting that the high signal to noise ratio is making it increasingly difficult for companies to leave their mark here and launch a successful product. Yes. Yes, I agree. Please, bring back the summer CES session, and split this beast in half. I think companies understand this. So many bigger brands are starting to hold their own spring line shows, like Sony does, to stand in a more focused spotlight. [NYT]

A Holiday GPS Navigator Gadget Round Up for the Ages

After lighting up the Today Show last week, today Wilson's burning up the pages of the Grey Lady with a rundown of hot holiday gifts loaded up with GPS. There's navigation gear for hikers like Bushnell's waterproof ONIX 400 (complete with XM radio), Garmin's Forerunner 305 for power-joggers, the usual car-mounted suspects like Garmin's Nuvi line and the hotly anticipated Dash GPS w/ a built-in cellular modem. The point is, no matter where you going or what you're doing, there's a navigator with GPS for it. Check out Wilson's piece to see just which gadget goes where and for how much in a single convenient article, no GPS necessary. [NYT]

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]

Two NYTimes reporters are relentlessly covering the iPhone Bricking episode. Saul Hansell interviews Palm and confirms that AT&T isn't worried about Treos bringing down the network, and Katie tells the tale of her daughter's iPhone bricking that had nothing to do with an unlock. I wonder what David Pogue and Walt Mossberg have to say about this issue?

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 »
