RCA’s EZ201 – Crazy Small Camcorder


The RCA EZ201 looks like a little ipod with an eye to me.  I wonder if it works well for the low $100’s price tag?
As expected, this 5.25-ounce video recorder sports a ho hum enclosure, no optical zoom, 512MB of internal memory, a 1.5-inch LCD, MemoryManager software, and a SD expansion slot as well. The [...]

Folding@home for the Xbox 360?


Better dust off that Xbox 360! Folding@home might be coming to the Xbox 360 soon according to Microsoft.

 
From Engadget:
Peter Moore of Microsoft has gone on record by saying that the Xbox 360 could also join the project, although he made sure to include a jibe at Microsoft’s primary competitor by mentioning the 360’s [...]

Newlite Portable, Solar LED Lights


This solar light is pretty neat.  I’m always a sucker for solar powered anything.  I guess it still amazes me that we can harness the power of the sun.
From Cool Tools:
I’ve used these solar LED lights for reading at night for over a year. There are three models and I have one of each — [...]

Casio EX-V7 Review


Dpreview takes a look at the new Casio EX-V7 in their latest review.
As well as being the first ultra-slim Exilim to sport a large (7x) zoom it is the first with mechanical (CCD-shift) image stabilization. It’s also got a wealth of unique features and a fair degree of photographic control. But is the EX-V7 as [...]

Wii graphics worse than first Xbox says Microsoft


Once again Microsoft doesn’t get the point of the Wii.  They are trying to disregard it’s graphics capabilities:
“The video graphics on it aren’t very strong; the box itself is kind of underpowered; it doesn’t play DVDs; there are a lot of down-line components [that] aren’t actually that interesting,” Bach said in an eWeek interview. [...]

Yelp.com – any good?


I’m not usually a big fan of local city sites other than craigslist.  I rarely even use craigslist.  Maybe I’ll find yelp a littl more useful?  I doubt it.
Local city sites are increasingly popular, but sometimes you have to wonder how much of it is paid advertising, you know? Not with Yelp. It’s all user [...]

N81 and N82 from Nokia


Nokia has announced some slick new phones, the N81, and the N82 (pretty boring names…). I really like the look. I’m usually not a fan of Nokia too.
The slider-style N81 looks it’ll be the successor to their N91 musicphone (except less, uh, busted-looking) and sport a full 8GB of memory, a 2.4-inch QVGA [...]

Happy Monkey FM Radio…hmm….


If I had children…I don’t think I would give them one of  these.  They look terrifying in a Flying Monkey sort of way.  I think it’s the big dark eyes that do it.
Contrary to their names, these 5.7-inch Happy Monkey radios do not make me happy. I mean, look at them. They’ve got rubber posable [...]

Sock Pro for those who lose socks…


This is one of those things that make you say…”Why didn’t I think of that!?!?”. It’s such a simple idea, yet such a good one. Too bad I would never remember to throw the little disc on them…
From Cool Tools:
The Sock Pro is a little rubber disc perforated in the center to allow [...]

Bell Labs project made into Documentary


I am definitely going to check this out.  What a cool idea for a documentary.
From Cool Tools:
This documentary is a wonderful testament to what can happen when bright folks from different disciplines get together to make stuff. In 1966, 30 engineers from Bell Labs collaborated with a number of modern artists in New York to [...]
