The Signal That Stops Your Old TV From Supporting 3D, But Allows the PS3

Maybe you have a super awesome 240Hz LCD. Technically, its refresh rate should probably support new FHD3D (full 3D HD) Blu-ray signals. But it can’t because of this diagram (by HDGuru3D)—how the information is sent to your television. It’s called over/under, and rather than a single 1920×1080 frame beaming from your Blu-ray player to your…

Casio’s EX-10HG Camera Is Bringing Its Special Indoor Geotagging To the Table In October

Announced at CES, the GPS-enabled EX-10HG from Casio has been a bit of a mystery so far, but has just been given full launch details, with the price expected to be in the region of $400 when it hits in October. That’s a good 10-month long wait, and it’s not like the EX-10HG is the…

Custom Grip Makes Canon S90 More Grabby

The problem with elven cameras like Canon’s S90 is that they’re awkward to hold sometimes. Richard Franiec’s custom grip—CNC-machined from a block of aircraft-grade aluminum and black-anodized to match—adds just enough extra surface area to fix that. https://gizmodo.com/canon-s90-review-itll-never-leave-my-pocket-except-wh-5393112 It stays just about as pocketable since the grip sits 1.5mm below the lens, and is attached…

Don’t Bring Laptops to Class or Else

Some people may ask why a physics professor used liquid nitrogen to freeze and shatter a laptop against the floor, just to tell students that laptops were prohibited in class.

Apple’s “Boobie Apps” Banning Resulted In the SuicideGirls’ Removal, Despite it Contradicting Schiller’s Criteria

Apple claims they removed those 5,000 boobie apps because women were complaining over the “degrading” and “objectionable” content. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the removal of the SuicideGirls’ app—which actually empowers women—seems most questionable. https://gizmodo.com/5000-casualties-of-the-app-store-boob-war-5477566 Sure, the free app features nudity.
