Gundam Razor Defends Earth While Making You Presentable

Although there’s no real benefit to having a Gundam razor as opposed to, say, a non-Gundam razor, you’ll still feel safe using a razor sanctioned by a 50-foot Japanese defense robot. Then again, actual Gundam pilots are only 13 years old, which means these haven’t actually been tested on real human beings. Wait, did we…

Picturephone as the perpetual technology of the future

As a follow-up to Wednesday’s post about the Picturephone, I encourage you to read Frederic D. Schwarz’s piece in Invention & Technology magazine. “Unlike car phones, Picturephone never had long lists of people waiting to sign up. And periodic attempts to revive the concept with modern technology have never taken off. AT&T’s color VideoPhone flopped…

Why You Probably Can’t Use 4GB of RAM on Your PC

There’s a reason why you probably can’t use 4GB of RAM on your current machine. No, we don’t mean “can’t” as in you won’t be able to hit this much unless you open up 20 applications at the same time, but more like your machine physically cannot take advantage of 4GB of RAM. Long story…

Apple to Add H.264 Hardware Decoding to All Machines?

Bob Cringely of PBS fame has it on good “rumor” authority that Apple‘s planning to add H.264 hardware support to all of its machines. As in the iMac, the MacBook, the MacBook Pro, the Mac Pro, and even the Mac Mini. Why is this important? Because a $50 hardware chip (that’s how much it costs…

MySpace News to Take On Digg

MySpace is planning on launching MySpace News in the second quarter of this year, a new service that will combine the news aggregation of Google News with the community rating system of Digg. Will this be a strong competitor to Digg, or will MySpace News provide content for a sperate demographic? After all, I’m sure…

Mercer joined up with Apple in 1987 and his design resume includes Version 7 of Mac finder. He also founded Pixo, a software tools firm that created…

3D World’s Three-Eyed Camera Makes 3D Photo Shoots a Reality

Design-wise, 3D World’s three-lens shooter looks like a camera experiment gone wrong. But the reason the 120 Tri-lense Stereo Camera was fitted with an extra pair of eyes is so that it could take “3D images.” Here’s the catch though. You’ll need a special viewer to make it all work. So in the long run,…

Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century

The animated short film “Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century” is classic Daffy Duck. Much like the Jetsons, this film presents a world of flying cars and ultra-modern design. In an odd way, by examining comedic films you’re able to most accurately take the pulse of the nation. The world of 1953 was certainly…

PMA 07: Olympus Stylus 770SW Frozen Into a Solid Block of Ice

When we saw this solid block of ice at the Olympus booth, we simply couldn’t walk by, and we reached out and touched it just to make sure it was real. Hey, wait a minute, are those real cameras frozen inside there? Sure enough, a couple of Olympus Stylus 770SW digital point-and-shooters were temporarily entombed…

PMA 07: Elinchrom EL-Skyport for Remote Flash Operation on the Cheap

When working with off-camera flash, there are several ways to do it, but RF is the most versitile and long range. For years now, PocketWizards have been the de-facto industry standard and that probably won’t change. Great as they are, they’re kinda pricey. That’s where the Elinchrom EL-Skyport system shines: the price is right. Though…
