Woohoo!! Just saw on dpreview that Canon announced a bunch of new compact cameras ahead of the 2009 IFA consumer electronics show. With my DSLR, I shoot mostly in RAW format (as opposed to JPEG) for maximum control in post-processing. Most digital SLR cameras offer the option to shoot RAW, but very few compact cameras [...]
Ok, so today was a fairly exciting day if you’re a gadget fan and/or music lover. As expected, Steve Jobs presented a bunch of exciting new products and services at Apple’s “The Beat Goes On” event. Most noteworthy is probably the iPod Touch. It’s a geek’s dream come true. The only bummer is that the [...]
… but instead of heading out to the store this weekend, I think I’ll be waiting to see what sorts of goodies Apple will announce at their September 5 “special event”. I bet they’ll announce some neat new gadget. Maybe a touchscreen Ipod? Now that would be cool.
Hmmm I think it’s time for me to replace my boring three-year old Blackberry with a shiny new toy…. The Curve looks super sleek and has all of the usual solid Blackberry functionality, and then some. I don’t think I’ll be able to resist.
Lifehacker has a long piece on how to get music and video on and off your iPod, from any computer, without iTunes. If you’ve ever felt restricted by your iPod/iTunes, this will be a good read.
I’ve been hearing a lot about Linden Lab’s virtual online society Second Life lately, but I never really bothered to check it out. Well, today I had my first taste of it, when an interactive advertising agency we wanted to interview decided to give us their pitch in their virtual meeting room. After being shown [...]
So a few weeks into the life of Microsoft’s Zune, reactions like this one seem to be the rule rather than the exception. Which doesn’t really come as a surprise – Microsoft just doesn’t seem to get the concept of “user friendly”. Before its launch, I was briefly toying with the idea of getting a [...]
It’s time to get a new laptop again. I’m switching from my beloved and rugged IBM ThinkPad T40 to the T60 (now manufactured by Lenovo). While I love the idea of better performance and new features (like the Integrated Fingerprint Reader), I’m not looking forward to transferring all my data and programs and reconfiguring all [...]
Use the arrow keys to guide Pac-Man. P – Pause/unpause the game. Q – Quit game. M – Mute/unmute sound. L – Low quality on/off.
Ever wonder which of the two major search engines yields better search results? Check out GahooYoogle, which displays both search engine results side by side for comparison. Kinda fun. And at least for me, Google still seems way more relevant.
With all the applications, images, and music files on my beloved little laptop, I’ve been running somewhat low on disk space… So today I finally gave in and bought an external hard drive, the neat little My Book Premium Edition from Western Digital. Now I’m a whole 250 GB of space richer. That’s 256,000 megabytes, [...]
I already have a Canon 35mm SLR camera as well as a Sony Cybershot DSC-F707, but today I decided it was time to buy a smaller camera that I can stick in my pocket and take with me everywhere I go… So I bought Canon’s nifty little PowerShot SD 450, a beautiful little piece of [...]
Now that’s a TV…
Man I wish I could have made it to the CES in Las Vegas… So many exiting things happening!
I was in a meeting with an advertising/interactive company yesterday, and they showed me around their office where they had a “media lab”. Lots of neat gadgetry and all the latest technology in a fully wired & wireless “living room”. Everything was connected to everything, so apart from the more mundane capabilities such as controlling [...]
