The Trains Of The Future Will Display Intelligent Information About Passenger Density

Just last night a man fell between the train and the platform at Liverpool station in the UK, due to overcrowding. If that’s not reason enough for train companies to adopt this X-ray vision concept, I don’t know what is. It’s the work of 4-id Creative Network, who have conjured up what I hope is…

Microsoft: Project Natal Coming “Somewhere In October”

A pre-Christmas launch date was always known for Project Natal, but October sounds quite early. Perhaps Microsoft has seen what happens with the Wii every Christmas and is taking measures to ensure they don’t sell out, making kiddies worldwide disappointed?

Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS Handles Low-Light and High-Speed Shooting Well

I’m very fond of Canon’s IXUS line of compacts, and definitely want to check out this 300 HS at some point, with a f/2.0 lens, backlit CMOS sensor, and the first in the range with manual controls. It’s a 10MP model with f/2.0 28mm 3.8x Canon lens, and can shoot HD video in 720p resolution.…

Inception Break Down

So what do we know? According to the newly released official synopsis, Leonardo DiCaprio is a sexy, and swanky looking dream thief.

Sony NEX-5 and NEX-3 Interchangeable Lens Cameras Go Official With HD Shooting

Sony’s gone and made both the NEX-3 and NEX-5 official, with the NEX-5 carrying the large boast of being the world’s smallest and lightest camera with interchangeable lenses. The leaked specs of the NEX-3 have panned out according to Sony’s news release, but it’s the NEX-5 I’m most interested in. Both have 14.2MPs, Exmor APS…

Lenovo IdeaPad Z Series Walks the Performance-Pricing Tightrope

Does Lenovo’s already expansive IdeaPad line really need another series? Actually, maybe! Because the new Z360, Z560, and Z565 offer something other IdeaPads haven’t, as much: compromise. A design that’s attractive but not flamboyant? Check. Performance options at a wide range of price points? Check, all the way from an AMD V series single-core processor…
