Is This Industrial-Grade Camera Clip Better Than the Standard Neckstrap?

At first, I was skeptical a camera clipholder like this could be so small, function so casually and keep a DSLR in place. Then I watched the video. But I still question how many of us actually need this. Former engineer-cum-entrepreneur Peter Dering makes a hard sell for his Capture Clip. But for us normal…

Please Keep the World’s Tiniest Video Camera Away From Me

Just a few weeks ago, the world’s tiniest video camera was as small as a grain of rice. Today, the world’s nanoest camera is even smaller. It’s made by medical device company Medigus, and it’s only 0.99mm wide. The measly fraction of a millimeter doesn’t seem like much, but it means a lot in the…

These Chef Sleeves Are Like Kitchen Condoms for Your iPad

Whenever I cook, I always look at my iPad and curse myself for treating that damn slab of glass like some Duchess of Cambridge. I can’t help it! I don’t want it to get dirty and grimy so I don’t use the iPad whilst cooking, which is, well, dumb of me because the iPad can…

Apple Really Did Delay the White iPhone for a Reason

All that talk of complications and difficulties building a white iPhone 4? Apple wasn’t BSing. NYT’s Nick Bilton compared the newly released pearly model to a first draft, bought directly from Apple’s Chinese factory. The difference? The old one’s grungy. Yellow discoloration and fading is evident when compared to the white version now on shelves—so…

Can You Believe This “Entry Level” Turntable Costs $28,400?

Personally, I think this turntable looks like a really poor attempt at making a cake look like a tree trunk candle, but apparently it’s $28,400 worth of audiophilic record-playing quality. It’s only Audio Consulting’s entry-level model mind you—the mind boggles at the thought of what they’d price their high-end model at. It only uses 2…
