This Combat Jet Joystick Is a Lot of Stick and Not Much Joy

In the age of touchscreens, I love this close-up of a MiG-29 joystick, all dented and battered by thousands of flight hours, and God only knows how many missile launches and bomb drops. Form follows function taken to the extreme. Quite different from the smoothness of last-generation combat aircraft controls, like Eurofighter Typhoon. Dark Roasted…

The World’s New Fastest SDHC Memory Card

Reading at a maximum of 95MB/s and writing at 80MB/s, the new Toshiba SDHC UHS-I memory cards are the fastest in the world. Now, good luck finding a camera that can saturate that kind of bandwidth. Why would anyone want to have such speedy SDHC cards right now is beyond me, but I guess that…

I’m happy admiring most do-it-yourself projects from the remove of the internet, but this, an electronic meat smoker than buzzes you with a text when your shanks are adequately smoked, is one I need to try in person. Peter Rauch rigged up the high-tech, home-made smoker, and its SMS capabilities are only the start—It has…

If Apple Can’t Deal With Facebook’s “Onerous” Terms For Ping, Why Is It In Apple’s Keynote Screenshots? [Updated]

Did Steve Jobs pull Facebook support for Ping, Apple’s new music-focused social networking service, at the last second? Ping launched yesterday without support for Facebook, the world’s most popular social networking service. This is a bummer because being able to import friends from Facebook — and being able to export Ping activity to Facebook —…

A Quick Look at Samsung’s Galaxy Tab Shows It’s a Lot Better Than I Expected

A limited look at the Galaxy Tab showed me all I needed to see: this thing is great. I’m no fan of Samsung phones, and worried it would feel cheap, with TouchWiz an albatross around Android’s neck. I was wrong. https://gizmodo.com/samsungs-galaxy-tab-runs-froyo-has-flash-and-measures-5627498 It’s well made, and doesn’t seem as plasticky as the Galaxy S range of…

Sony’s Internet TV is at IFA, demonstrating how Google TV might make your soccer—or football, rather—watching experience more interesting. No further details on the hardware side of things, but the UI looks polished, and more importantly, pretty useful.

Google Sued By Floridian Over Nexus One’s 3G Issues

On behalf of his neighbors in Florida—as well as California—Nathan Nabors is attempting to take on Google in a breach of contract class action lawsuit, due to the continuing problems with the Nexus One‘s 3G signal.

Sony’s plan to update the PS3’s firmware with support for 3D playback via Blu-ray has been put back, with the company now saying it’ll be here some time during October.

Samsung’s HMX-T10 Camcorder Has Full HD and 20-Degree Slanted Lens

They describe it as “groundbreaking,” with the 20-degree slanted lens of the HMX-T10 supposedly aiding sore wrists. I don’t know about that, but the rest of the specs make me happy: full HD, for starters. On sale this month for $300, the T10 has a 5.1MP sensor, with 10x zoom lens and 2.7-inch LCD screen.…

It’ll run Android 2.2 (Froyo) and comes in a 7-inch flavor—for now. It’s one of those moments where the final product actually exceeds expectations based on previous leaks. Sure,…

iPhone Users Eat Chicken, Android Users Eat Pork

In a silly survey conducted by Coupons.com, they’ve discovered some ridiculous “revelations” about iPhone users and Android users.
