Look, we don’t normally talk about that wacky old medium — the printed word — but this is a special case. Our very own Chris Ziegler, whom many of us refer to around here as “the modern-day Hemingway,” has just recently put pen to paper (er, finger to keyboard) and written the definitive tome on […]
digg_url = \’http://digg.com/gadgets/Another_Pre_hands_on_video_with_Palm_s_VP_of_design\’; Man, we can’t get enough Peter Skillman — check out this 25-minute Pre hands-on demo Palm’s VP of design did at CES. Sure, there’s some overlap with what we saw Matias Duarte demo during the announcement and the shorter Skillman video we saw yesterday, but there’s also some stuff that slipped under […]
As is becoming increasingly clear, Nissan seems to be intent on having cars do everythingshort of drive themselves, and it’s now taking yet another step in that direction with a proposed system that would prevent drivers from going the wrong way. While it’s all still in the planning stages at the moment, the system would […]
Some Canon die-hards have already managed to coax their DSLRs to record video via live-view, and it looks like Nikon aficionados are now able to do the same, albeit not quite as easily just yet.

It’s only been a year since Kyocera snapped up Sanyo’s cellphone business in a bid to expand its mobile empire, but it looks like the company is already being forced to reorganize its handset businesses into something leaner and, it hopes, meaner. The biggest shake-up comes in the company’s U.S. offices, which will now be […]
Lenovo’s 15.4-inch IdeaPad Y530 has been around the block a time or two, but if you’ve been putting off a buy as you wait for someone to test this puppy out good-fashion, your day has arrived. The benchmarking fiends over at HotHardware have abused (in a good way, of course) the Y530 in pretty much […]
We’ve seen plenty of high-efficiency lightbulbs rolling around, but this new one — if it ever sees the light of day (groan) — has impressive potential. Cambridge University’s team of researchers are apparently quite close to bringing to production an LED bulb that can last up to 100,000 hours (about 60 years), and which — […]
