Nicotine patches significantly improved attention and memory in older people suffering from mild cognitive impairment, which often leads to Alzheimer’s, according to a new study. Before you get excited, smokers, the researchers say the study has nothing to do with cigarettes. They looked at 74 non-smokers with an average age of 76. Half got a…

Is There Any Way ViewSonic’s $170 Ice Cream Sandwich Tablet Isn’t Terrible?

It’s not that I don’t believe in miracles. I once knew a man who sat through the entirety of Jack & Jill without trying to set fire to the theater. It’s a crazy world. But if ViewSonic made a $170 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet that isn’t excruciatingly painful to use, I’ll buy a hat and…

Canon G1 X Hands On: The Sawed-Off Shotgun of Point-and-Shoots

Canon’s G1 X is kind of a ridiculous camera. It’s a point-and-shoot. But it has a bigger image sensor than most of the mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras out there. And it’s $800, so it costs more too. https://gizmodo.com/the-new-canon-g1-x-is-the-biggest-fastest-baddest-pow-5874265 The G1X isn’t as heavy as you’d expect, given that compared to any point-and-shoot you’ve probably seen,…

I Talked to Samsung’s Voice-and-Face-Recognizing Smart TVs and It Kind of Sucked

Samsung’s new and supposedly snazzy Smart TV, the UNES8000, promises to use voice and face recognition to let you control your TV without any remotes. You know, the future of TV interfaces, according to a lot of companies lately. https://gizmodo.com/samsungs-best-new-tvs-beat-apple-to-the-voice-and-face-5873806 Sadly, it’s not any good right now.

Shooting Challenge Gallery : Sunshine II

After watching the video, I looked around the house to see what I could use. I found a lime, tonic water, and a jar mug. For the background I choose a red flannel blanket. I set up pretty much like the video showed. I do not have a reflector, so I tried to make one…

Eyeballs On the Kyobo eReader and Its Mirasol Display: Color! Video! Disappointment!

Originally shown at CES a couple of years ago, Qualcomm’s Mirasol display technology was promised to bridge the gap between LCD and e-ink display technology.

The Most Useless New Product

A lot of cool-looking but pretty much worthless items have been brought into this world under the guise of design.
