Canon Powershot N Hands On: What a Cute Little Thing

We spent a short time with the new Canon Powershot N and found that even though the square body makes it a little awkward to use, it’s pretty fun at the same time. As a full-time camera, the cute gimmicky form factor is limiting. But as a little secondary camera? A blast. https://gizmodo.com/canon-powershot-n-the-future-of-tiny-cameras-is-eco-fr-5973688 The camera…

Look At This Wicked Technics Inspired Motorcycle

In case you haven’t picked up on it by now: Anything goes at CES. But at least this collaboration between Technics and custom bike builder Roland Sands is easy on the eyes and ears.

Fitbit Flex Hands On: The King’s Reign Might Be Over

We just got a few minutes with Fitbit’s new Flex activity tracker. From the look of it, they’ve basically just reengineered the One, made it smaller, taken out the altimeter and shoved it into a wristband.

Cobra Atom Radar Detector: Speeding Ticket Protection Made Even Better (And Tinier)
