holy crap thats awesome. So much slicker than what I had pictured in my head. The only issue with the prototype is the slider. Get this on a rotating conveyor with multiple batteries and you have a commercial ready system.

+1. Good glass really screws up a camera's balance. Ever try to use a good 24-70mm f/2.8 lens with a tiny body like an old Canon XTi or a Nikon D40? That body that was so maneuverable with the stock lens now becomes unwieldy with some serious glass in front of it. If you want a lightweight cameras in this day and…

If this can improve on the low light performance of the D3 (which was pretty insane to begin with) then Nikon has a win here. The megapixel war is over (finally!). Now I want to see super high ISOs and high speed HD video (240fps+) make it onto prosumer grade cameras. Canon, the ball is now in your court. Make us…

You know what would help the electric car? A standardized battery system. Think about it this way: instead of charging your car you pull into a recharge station, drive over a bay, and an attendant (or robot) pulls your old battery and puts in a freshly charged one. Maximum time? 10 minutes. As long as you have a…

That porsche either got really lucky or I did actually hear the sound of body panel against guardrail at one point.

Tell any atheist that Christmas lights = Christian and they'll laugh at you. Nativity scenes = Christian. The cross = Christian. Christmas hymns = christian. Santa Claus, reindeer, and christmas lights =/= Christian, and are in fact far more pagan in origin (though I'm sure about the christmas lights part...)

Is it just me or does it look like the art director who worked on Deus Ex: Human Revolution also had his hand in this? The orange hue, the neo-renaissance clothing, the Montreal origins... All they need is to have part of the movie take place in Shanghai and Detroit and it would practically be the same universe.

#9, not to be played while driving through the Alps unless you want all your passengers passed out from asphyxiation...

I have a droid charge, my Nexus should be getting here today. I can tell you that it took a LONG time (and many radio iterations) for the droid charge issue to get fixed, and even then, its only mostly fixed. I'm now not losing data connection randomly anymore, but cell tower switching while actively using LTE can…

If the execs knew at all what they were doing they would cut this sinking ship loose and let the playbook die a glorious death like the touchpad. Release what source they can (damn QNX), open the bootloader, and start shipping the last orders by the truckload to the waiting android masses. People would snap these up…

Female lead? How bout a Triad daughter who escapes to the US after her father gets killed and then begins to build an empire in order to get revenge. Not oscar level stuff here folks, but stuff that works and would be the foundation for a strong (and probably pretty damn ruthless) female lead.

how bout buying cheap branded stuff? A pair of sennheiser hd202's are ~$20 and sound fantastic. Back in the day (read: a few years ago...) Koss made some great headphones (the portapros come to mind) for really cheap. With off-branded stuff the quality control is just not there, so what you pay is what you get. …

guy pearce does an adaquate bruce willis, but this seems to be a much darker movie than 5th Element. 5th Element channeled Blade Runner asthetics through Gaultier (an odd combination that somehow worked) while this seems to channel... well not sure what it channels, but it doesn't look nearly as cohesive, though I…

glad I never heard synergy at my old job, but damn, the other 9 I heard almost every day. Gotta love software consulting...

My friend has been using something similar for a year now. Its called a ski pole. Not as fancy, not as toothy, but works fine for both balancing and most importantly propelling yourself along the flats. Me? I'm a skier :)

If its not Attenborough narrating, it better be Mike Rowe. Who knew a guy who gets so damn dirty for a living could be such a good narrator?

more complicated than those cheapo metal bars on vdubs/toyotas, but man do I love the gas pistons on my speed 6's trunk. Its both a space saver and make the trunk feel much more solid on opening and closing.

every new trailer seems to swing my "want" meter back and forth. The first trailer was great. The gameplay trailer was ok, if a bit dry. The "throwback" trailer was a bit of a WTF. This was just meh. The animations don't look that great, the combat looks far more chaotic than single player, and it looks very much…

I can't believe people are already bashing this car. It ticks all the boxes for a small performance coupe! I could do without those wheels but other than that, it looks fine (no stranger looking than a Genesis Coupe, another great performance coupe). If they can price this right (~20k base would work, maybe…

A strong female lead would be great for GTA. It would need a good setup however, more Niko Bellic than any of the other stories. My first thought would be an extremely simple but effective setup for a Los Santos setting. Triad dude and his wife (protagonist) escape Hong Kong and land in LA/Los Santos. Triads track…
