If you're a gadget geek then you're probably like me: you live for those moments when humans achieve exquisite and enormous engineering feats.
Well, it took over six years and about 642 million dollars but the channel bridge over the River Elbe (a river that partially split East and West Germany) has been completed. Basically what you have here is water route engineered to go overtop another river and connect two canals on either side. Previously, boats would have to actually enter the River Elbe to cross from one canal to the next, creating a water intersection. This channel-bridge eliminates that intersection.
Now I wonder how thick the designers of this water bridge ...

John Benson just got his shiny new iPad 3G and he's rather excited to try it out. But the thing is, the iPad uses the rather newfangled MicroSIM and as everyone is aware of by now, those things aren't really available everywhere just yet. I failed to mention, he lives in the UK.
How to convert a SIM into a MicroSIM for iPad use
Posted by Ade as Gadgets
At this point I'd probably give up and use wifi until MicroSIMs become available where I am and rant about how much I wasted all that extra money for an iPad 3G. Good thing Mr. Benson didn't give up.
He was able to convert an ordinary Vodafone SIM card into a MicroSIM, and he did it with - you won't ...

If you're looking for a high-quality condenser mic that you can take anywhere, it looks like the Samson Go Mic is something you'll consider carrying around in the future. I have a band, and I actually like to keep recordings of our practices and gigs so I can listen them over after the set and see what else needs to be done to improve our playing. And obviously, audio quality of the mp3s ripped from videos is really bad I can't even listen to the details properly.
It goes without saying that I'm seriously going to consider the Samson Go Mic when it becomes available. From the official press release:
Go Mic ...

For a while, the Sony Dash is actually kind of a glorified widget machine. Kind of like an iPad, but imagine that it doesn't have the office suite function, or anything else that makes the iPad so great. The Dash Internet Viewer is a touchscreen WiFi device which can be propped up like a digital photo frame. Oh yeah, it's not portable. So you just have to prop it around your home.
It runs Chumby OS, which lets the 7-inch device can run Chumby apps (there are over 1,000 free ones out there already), to which Sony will be adding its own Sony Music and Sony Pictures ...

Well, that was fast. A mere three weeks after the Google Nexus One was launched, rumors are coming out about the Google Nexus Two. That's right, guys. We're going to talk about the sequel to the Google Nexus One, even before it starts to warm up in people's pockets.
According to the rumors, the Google Nexus Two will be manufactured this time by Motorola. Google is allegedly looking into one of Motorola's not yet in production models, the Motorola Shadow, to be sold as the Google Nexus Two. The Motorola Shadow is going to be a pretty nice phone, with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard while at the same time having an ...

Let me tell you about this little secret I have: I love QWERTY phones. Ever since I got my hands on Nokia's business class E63 with its beautifully made QWERTY keypad, I refuse to look back. In fact, I don't even know how I got by without QWERTY in the first place. Now Nokia's User Interfaces are another discussion though. I hate the living crap out of Nokia's UI. It's dated and in places ugly - well that's until Symbian gets replaced by Maemo in Nokia's N-Series. Nokia phones do get huge plus points for its solid construction. Yeah, construction beats UI everytime. Sony Ericsson phones, on the other hand, ...

Yes, you read the title right: flexible. It's because when I want to read the online copy of let's say Neil Gaiman's Good Omens, I want to bend my reader like I do a real-life newspaper. Let's see the Kindle 2 do that. But kidding aside, the Skiff Reader looks like a great e-reader. Just a quick look at its specs would reveal an amazing 11.5″ screen with a resolution of 1200×1600 pixels! That resolution is big enough to display a full page of The New York Times on the screen. Also, that NYT page? It contains Skiff-only ads to keep them running. I hate seeing ads, actually, but ...

That was pretty fast, don't you think? Just a few short weeks ago, there came out rumors that Google has been giving its employees a mysterious phone that they were supposed to test out over the holidays. Then we see Google employees praising the phone to high heavens over on their Twitter accounts. Heck, after Google's initial announcement, I was expecting the Nexus One to be released around March to June.
So imagine my surprise to see that the Nexus One is already out, but there's a review already on TechCrunch! Michael Arrington himself gives his two cents on the Nexus One.
Basically, the phone is everything people loved about Android, ...

Rumor: The Google Tablet to go after Apple’s iSlate?
Posted by Ade as Gadgets, Google, Hardware, Linux
Oh boy, is Google sure on a roll. Mere weeks after the announcement of the Google Phone, the Android-powered Nexus One, and the Google Netbook running (also recently-announced) Google Chrome OS, rumors began flying of another hardware product running Chrome OS. And this time it's a tablet computer.

Meet Desi. He's in front of an HP MediaSmart computer, and he's testing out the webcam. The webcam is powered by a fancy face tracking software which allows it to track his face within the confine of the frame.
Is Desi a happy guy? No. Apparently the tracking software does not work for African-Americans, and he drives home the point in this video:
Granted, this video was made for laughs, and HP computers aren't really racist. It's apparently a screw-up with the tracking algorithm; it has a problem detecting contrast for darker skins.
HP has heard of this issue, and this is what they say about it:
