The iPhone 4S may have a kick-ass new 8MP camera and lightning-quick A5 processor but it has the same shortcoming as its S-less predecessor—no wheels for low-angle rolling shots. The hell Apple? Cineskates, however, may have the solution. The Cineskates Kickstarter campaign we told you about in August is coming to a close—$330,000 over their…

Duke Nukem: Forever Is Your Shoot-It-In-The-Face Deal of the Day

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is an awesome game. The only problem is the stealthy part; I get way too bored sneaking around everywhere. I would rather just shoot all the bad guys in their face. Which is why I figured I would love Duke Nukem: Forever. That’s all you do! How bad could it be!…

T-Mobile Springboard Hands On: The Highest Res 7-Inch Tablet Yet

Huawei is known for making okay things at an okay pricepoint, but their new Springboard for T-Mobile actually looks more than okay. Way more, actually. This little seven-inch tablet runs Android 3.2 and has a very speedy 1.2GHz Snapdragon dual-core processor, which should give it some pep, but I definitely saw that same lag we…

Download the New iTunes 10.5 Right Now

Tomorrow’s going to be a big day for Apple software—iOS 5, iCloud, an update to OS X Lion—and a version of iTunes to go along with all of that.

Tiny Trippy Double Exposure Camera Is a Great Alternative to LSD

Acid: expensive, kinda hard to come by, awful hangover. But the pretty colors—I know. Consider Photojojo’s Double Exposure Digi Cam instead: it’ll merge two images (or videos!) into one warped, dreamlike scene. And it’s very small. It may not be super cheap for a novelty camera—$130—but the effect looks like a lot of fun, and…

The World’s First Solar Plant to Generate Electricity Even at Night

The new Gemasolar heliostatic plant doesn’t have that problem, on account of a vat of molten salt that keeps it running through 15 hours of dark. More than 2,600 concentrically-arranged mirrors at the Gemasolar installation just…
