With Casio's EX-F1 jumping $300 to $999, the EX-FH25 is looking pretty enticing. The stat that matters most to me is 240 FPS recording at 448 x 336 and 120 FPS at 640 x 480 are some nice numbers, particularly when you consider the fact that you can set the shutter speed to 1/2000 second [...]

Nissan Leaf, an all-electric car. 100 miles on a single charge isn't bad. The price ($30k) isn't bad. The fact that you need to have a charging station installed in your home may put some people off. But the thing with electric cars is this: you still get your energy somewhere. Batteries still have to [...]

For a few months now, Casio's EX-F1 camera - a camera which shoots pretty reasonably sized video at 300 FPS - was selling for $699. Now it's jumped back up to $999 for seemingly no reason. What's up with that? Is a replacement coming? Have they stopped producing the camera?

Seriously, wasn't that supposed to be available by now? Look, I don't really have a problem with AT&T. I don't have dropped calls, 3G coverage is pretty good in my area (probably because not many people have iPhones - Erie isn't NYC, after all), and the rates they bill seem to be in line with [...]

I've been beta testing, but my NDA is up and Kindle for the Mac will be available shortly. Finally. It's a rudimentary app that does what it does - display books - fairly well, and nothing more. The text controls include sizing and width of the page - I like one size up from the [...]

Toby Ziegler: "We're flying in a Lockheed Eagle Series L-1011. Came off the line twenty months ago. Carries a Sim-5 transponder tracking system, and you're telling me I can still flummox this thing with something I bought at Radio Shack?" Everyone knows that "rule" is just to prevent people from yapping on their cell phones [...]

Carey was talked into getting a "MyFrogz" case for her iPhone awhile back, and I liked it, so I picked up a yellow/black (Let's Go Pens!) recently as well. It does what I need - protects the back of the case from scratches and provides a bit of grip as well. I used to have [...]

As I just said on mailing list: Magazines could be the "killer app" for the iPad. I'd buy one if that's all it did. I'm not buying one now. Me, earlier today. But hey, I've been saying the same thing for a whole week now. There's also this and my friend Don's take on it.

Y'know, I think I wish there was a setting. The raw MP4 file uploaded to YouTube for this video is 9.2 MB. The raw video as pulled from my iPhone via the sync cable is 71.2 MB. That's just a wee bit more compression than I'm happy with… I think that, in the future, I'll [...]

Some quotes followed by brief commentary. My Box of Cruft: Remember way back to January 2007, when the iPhone was announced? Oh Internets, you wailed and gnashed your teeth endlessly. No 3G network? No MMS? No apps on the iPhone? No replaceable battery? Oh, your complaints were endless. You were sure that the iPhone was [...]

I like to host little group chats using the AIM network. Today's was in the "AppleTablet" room. If I had known what was to come I'd have told everyone to join the "ZzzzzzzzzzPad" room or something. The full entry contains the text from the chat.

I've been rather… let's go with "blasé" about the Apple Tablet to date. I own a Kindle and find that it's a perfectly good way to read books. It doesn't need charged frequently because the e-Ink screen sucks up so little power. It's small, light, etc. But it's not a good way to read anything [...]

For a few years now I've wanted a video camera that can record decent video at a high framerate and a good resolution. About a year ago I bought a Kodak Zi6 and liked it. The Zi6 does 720p at 60 frames per second. It works, but it could be a whole lot better. My [...]

For the first time in a long time I'm incredibly upset with an Apple product. Update: see the fourth comment. Derrr. I recently bought two AirPort Extreme Base stations to improve my home network. They've been nothing but trouble. They disconnect intermittently. Tonight I've restarted an episode of Dexter no less than eight frickin' times [...]

Let me describe my network setup right now. I have a first-generation Time Capsule plugged into my cable modem. This provides my 802.11n network, "Netski." Plugged into that I have an 802.11g AirPort Express that provides an 802.11g network called "Getski." I have two remote WDS stations: one in the living room hooked to an [...]
