Sony CyberShot DSC-S800 Goes Through Lens Puberty

Sony just raised the bar with its 8.1-megapixel compact point and shoot CyberShot DSC-S800 camera, offering a 6x optical zoom that retracts into the camera body just like those 3x optical zooms do. To do that, Sony has abandoned Carl Zeiss optics for a lens of its own making, accompanying that with anti-blur tech will…

DIY Wiimote Door Lock is Useless Yet Awesome Nonetheless

You’ve gotta love DIY hacks that don’t even pretend to be trying to create something that’s actually useful, but are more attempts to prove that the maker can create something completely ridiculous. Take this door that can be unlocked with a Wiimote, for example. Is this very secure? No, not really. Is it convenient? Nope.…

What would you do if this plate was set in front of you? What would you do? Here’s a fresh dish of octopus tentacles, still alive, served to Cyrus Farivar at a restaurant in South Korea. “They calm down after a little while, but then when you go after them again, they start up again,”…

RIAA: DRM is Pro-Consumer; Gizmodo: Shut Up, Idiots.

Earlier this week at the Digital Summit in Nashville, RIAA ringleader Mitch Bainwol spoke on the RIAA’s litigious nature and their love of DRM. Unsurprisingly, he let loose with a bunch of steamy, BS-scented PR-speak that we’re here to smash into a thousand little pieces. Bainwol: “I believe in rules. They are essential to the…

Neber Computer Chair: What’s So Bad About Sitting Up Straight?

There are plenty of sci-fi movies that have bleak visions of the future, depicting people hooked up to computers like they’re plugged into something at the hospital. They think we’ll turn into a society of mindless drones, with computers running our lives rather than vice versa. Well, if that future awaits us, this G-Tech International…

8-port HDMI Switcher Needs to Wait for More HDMI Devices

Does anyone out there really have enough devices to warrant an 8-port HDMI switcher? I mean, you could have a PS3, an Xbox 360 Elite, a HD DVD player and a Blu-ray player, and despite the redundancies and pointlessness in having all of those things you’d still have four empty ports. But then, I guess…
