Just as Amazon did/didn’t announce yesterday, Canon has also released the ultra-fast, 6.5 frames-per-second—on 75 JPEG/17 RAW bursts—10.1 megapixel model, the Canon EOS 40D. With new, faster autofocus and its latest CMOS sensor, the 40D also adds live framing using its full 3-inch LCD screen, something which previously was only available on the EOS-1D Mk…

Barbara Jones holding the actual piece of…
Oh man, another week and another good reason to start a Mac Vs. PC beef. I just love this job. In what can only be described as the end of the thirty something year debate about which is better, behold the pinnacle of versatility that is the, ingeniously titled, Apple G3 Beer Server. https://gizmodo.com/microsoft-fanboys-do-stupid-things-too-288537 Much…
An anti Disney game has made a reappearance on the web after a decade of absence. The games plot is so very bonkers, we suspect drugs abuse had a large hand to play in its derivation. Jump for an extract of the press release detailing the twisted story. The year is 2015. Steeped in national…

This PMP from China’s, confusingly named, Foryou, packs so much functionality under the hood it makes our heads hurt. There are two flavours available; 20GB or 40GB, if that is not enough space there is an SD expansion slot too. The screen is a-not too shabby-7″ LCD, both a car kit and rechargeable battery are…
Those sly dogs at Sony quietly let the CyberShot DSC-T200 and DSC-T70 slip out, without even battering an eyelid. They both strike an impressive pose, not least because of those tasty touchscreens!

I was thinking the other day, “Man, Sonic is useless these days; he should be created in a CD storage form factor.” The Sonic Spike CD case does exactly that. This plush hedgehog discards its spiked surface protection against predation, just to store your valuable compact discs. You can hug him too, if you are…

A source tells us that the upcoming iPod Nano revisions will look like this. A fat iPod.

It looks like DVD playback is finally available for Wii, but it doesn’t come from Nintendo and it will require you to have a modded console —like those Nintendo doesn’t want you to have. Team Symbiote’s hack looks simple, but requires you to start up from a CD and then change to the DVD. Not…
I want to like this LEGO iPod. I really do. And I commend the builder’s efforts. But it completely saps all smoothness out of the iPod’s design, and not in a cool, disruptive LEGO way. Maybe I’m being too harsh. What do you guys think? Am I blind, or is it a little ugly? I…
