Atomos Ninja and Samurai HD video recorder / monitors bring compression jutsu to pro filmmaking

We all drool over the hi-res video shot by cameras like the RED EPIC, but for indie-film types, processing the massive files produced takes a lot of time (and therefore money) and not everyone has an ARRI ALEXA FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 and 3.0 to do native recording compression. Enter the Atomos Ninja and Samurai HD recorder / monitor / playback devices that take your 10-bit video and compress it in Apple's 1080p ProRes QuickTime format to make your post-production life a little easier. The Ninja pulls video through HDMI and deposits it on your choice of 2.5-inch HDD or SDD storage, does playback via a 4.3-inch 480 x 270 touchscreen, and has...

T-Mobile upgrades 4G network for speedier downloads

T-Mobile is announcing an impressive-sounding upgrade to its 4G network and T-Mobile customers in Las Vegas, New York, and Orlando will be the first to benefit from it. Apparently the carrier will be doubling the speed of its 4G network and offering theoretical download speeds of 42 Mbps (megabits per second) — oh yes, that's pretty darn fast. How fast? An average song is about 5 megabytes, and an average movie about 750 megabytes, so at 42 MBps, that'd be 7 seconds to download Lady Gaga's latest hit or 16 minutes to grab a quality version of "You've Got Mail." After the cities mentioned above, the upgrade will be made in Chicago,...

Top 10 Very Best Accessories for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch

1. Sub-£ 100 Speaker Dock (Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 £ 77) This venerable speaker dock has been arround for years, but it's still the best we've heard unless you want to spend some serious money.

Set it up next to your bed and you'll start each morning with a fully charged iPhone. 2. £ 100 Speaker Dock (Creative ZiiSound D5 £ 255) Sure, the big, meaty sound that you get out of the ZiiSound D5 is reason enough to buy it but, if we're honest, we're a little bewitched by what it can do and how it looks.

Hottest Motors By Bugatti Veyron

Until now, the Bugatti Veyron was the undisputed King of the Supercars, matching fighter-jet performance with a million-dollar price tag. It seemed we’d never see its like again in this age of austerity, but fortunately Horacio Pagani didn’t get the memo that the world was skint and 200+ mph cars are unusable on modern roads. Hence, he’s unleashing the Huayra (“whyara”). It’ll cost over £1 million and combines Swiss-watch engineering, pioneering new materials and jaw-dropping styling. Under its hood is a monstrous powerplant developed by Mercedes’ AMG division, pushing it to over 235mph. Outside, there’s an ultra high-tech chassis constructed...

Sony Just Got Serious with Next Generation Portable

Sony has taken its sweet time coming up with the NGP (Next Generation Portable) follow-up to its venerable PlayStation Portable. The PSP's last refresh came in 2007 and mu8ch has changed since for mobile gamers. Above all, smartphones have gobbled up the casual gaming market faster than you can say, "Angry Birds". Perhaps aware of this, arch-rival Nintendo has its 3DS ready to go-see p32-and the NGP won't be on shelves till the end of the year at the earliest. Too late? That remains to be seen, but what's not in doubt is that the NGP is a serious piece of kit. It's powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex A9 processor, capable of clocking up unpredented...

LG Thrill 4G and HTC HD7S are new phones for AT&T US

AT&T announced today that it will be converting two well-known devices to its lineup and making them 4G-capable. Those are the HTC HD7 and LG Optimus 3D. Keep in mind that in this case 4G refers to HSPA+ 21Mbps, not the real-deal LTE. Still we guess there will be many people willing to buy either. The two smartphones are also getting new names. HTC HD7 gets an "S" to its name - HTC HD7S. And the LG Optimus 3D will be LG Thrill 4G. Pretty much nothing else is changed.The HD7S has the same 4.3-inch LCD display, 5 megapixel snapper and Windows Phone 7 OS, as highlights. The LG Thrill 4G has the same 4.3-inch stereoscopic display, dual-core...

The Nexus S 4G will be available in the spring (that's as specific...

Leaf of faith: Is Nissan's new car stranding owners?

Now that electric-powered Nissan Leafs have been driven by the first owners for several weeks, Nissan's claimed 100-mile range is being tested in reality. The result? Reports of Leafs running out of juice and stranding drivers with little warning.  Although the details in the complaints on the MyNissanLeaf forum differ, the common thread in each is the Leaf suddenly paring back the estimates of its range in the middle of a trip, ending in a brief "turtle" mode — marked by an orange turtle icon on the Leaf's dash — followed by the car shutting down to prevent battery damage. The Leaf's software is supposed to give drivers gradual warnings...

Why the Future of 3D Could Be Glasses-Free?

Today's word is "AUTOSTEREOSCOPY", or, in plain English, glasses-free 3D. Sure, these sci-fi screens exist today, but because they work by directing particular pixels to particular ocular vantage points, stepping a few inches outside a sweet spot can transform that fourth-wall-breaking Na'vi into a blue blur. This is why the tech is, thus far, found mostly on handheld gadgets such as the Nintendo 3DS-users keep a constant grip on the screen and can control the viewing angle for optimal 3D joy. But that could soon change. Toshiba recently showed a technology that make we believe we could lead the way to larger and more usable autostereoscopic...
