Ilshat Garipov, a Russian designer, comes up with an idea for a smart phone, and it is both elegant and functional. When I first saw the phone, I almost pissed my pants. Currently, I’m using a Nokia X2-01 because I fucked up my iPhone, and I got it for free with a 2 year contract with Sun Cellular. Ever since, I’ve been window shopping for an Android phone. From the Galaxy S-II to the Quad core LG Optimus, my mouth has watered for...

I finally took the plunge and gotten myself my second body. I bought a Canon 60D DSLR body only package. I have enough lenses already so I didn’t get a kit package. The box itself isn’t anything special. It’s the usual Canon camera box. The Canon T1i DSLR I purchased last year had a better looking box than this one. When you open the box, the first thing you get to see are the manuals and CDs which are placed in two...

This article is a guide to updating your Mid v7 Android Tablet (aPad) to Modroid v7. The Modroid v7 Firmware is based on the Eken 1.5.1 firmware which is also based on the Android 2.2 Froyo operating system. Whether you’re experiencing wifi issues, non-responsiveness, or you just want to update, the Modroid v7 firmware is perfect. For this tutorial, it won’t matter what version or firmware you currently have because this firmware...

For some people, paying $600 for an iPad is out of the question. I happen to be one of those people. I did a lot of research and testing when I got my hands on this Zenithink ZT-180 epad, apad thing. There are different variants to this device. Mine happens to be the 1GHz ARM Processor, 256MB ram, 2GB nand version. This is my basis for the tutorial. If you have a different device, make sure you get the files specific to your unit. Checking...

It definitely looks like what you think it is. Yup! It’s a penis DSLR. Yaniv Berg’s concept is instead of holding the camera to your eyes, the user points it to frame a subject at stomach level. For guys, it will look like you have a big hard on protruding out of your tummy. This is definitely a camera I want. However, there’s no pricing or availability. It’s just a design. Cool design though. Source: [Yanko...

A while back, I ordered a Canon T1i from the states through my boss. It was mailed using a balikbayan box. In the meantime, I was using my Dad’s Nikon D90 to do my photography work. What I ordered was a bundle. The bundle came with a kit lens and a zoom lens. It cost me a total of $917 with tax. Now that same [bundle] costs $1099 without tax. So I guess I was lucky when I ordered it. July 21, 2010 was the day it arrived. I picked up my T1i...

It’s about damn time. The people responsible for the Android port for the iPhone of the iPhone Dev Team have now been able to unlock the iPhone 4. Apple will probably now be releasing a firmware update to undo the damage. Then iPhone Dev Team will come around, and unlock the phone again. The cycle goes on. When will Apple learn that people hate AT&T’s service and the rest of their partners? When will they realize that the way to...

One of the better phones that was released was the Motorola Droid X. You can get it for $150 from Verizon with a 2-year contract. Now, does it stack up to the iPhone 4, or any other Smart phone out there? You be the judge. …the Droid X becomes a much less magical phone than the Droid was. It’s good, and it’s a pretty enjoyable execution of Android 2.1, but it’s not a must-have phone — especially in light of the...

There are a lot of advantages if you ride a bike in busy city streets. First, you can skate through traffic. Stop lights aren’t an issue. You don’t need a drivers license. You don’t have to worry about gas. You get a full cardio workout. The only disadvantage is parking. A lot of bikes are stolen around the world everyday from New York to Paris, only because it’s so easy to steal. Now, a De Montfort University graduate...

Here’s a quick comparison between the Sony NEX-5, NEX-3, Panasonic GF1, and the Olympus E-PL1. These are the best point and shoot cameras out on the market these days. Why? they all have interchangeable lenses. Why is that good? Because different photographic compositions may require different types of lenses. You may ask yourself, why not just get a DSLR? My answer here would be, yes. Get a DSLR, and if you’re a serious...

Not only does it look good as a centerpiece for your kitchen, it also automatically washes and stores your dishes. However, it was designed mainly for the yuppie couple without kids. It can only do a couple of dishes and glasses at a time. To me, it still looks like one hell of a kitchen accessory and I want one so bad. Bad news for me though, this is still being developed by Bosch in collaboration with [Robert Lange], an urban designer, and...

Before I begin, I’d like to say first of all, it’s not that easy. You’ll need someone from a particular region of the world to pull this off and you’ll need better motor skills than a middle aged person hopped up on caffeine. Here goes. Buy an unlocked iPhone from the UK Apple Store for £499 (16GB) or £599 (32GB). Get the damn thing shipped to wherever you are. Cut your regular SIM card to microSIM size using a pair of...

I’ve been working at home for quite a while now. It’s been great. However, I’ve got to be honest, from time to time, I just wish I could see the world a bit. Sometimes, I work from coffee shops and restaurants just to experience a change of scenery. The only flaw when I move out of my home office is that I sometimes leave important stuff behind. Now, I come across this mobile office. At first glance, I said, “Wow.”...

Here’s something I’d like to wrap around my neck. With my Canon T1i on the way, I’m pretty sure battery life is going to be an issue here. Hence, this gadget. It’s a camera strap that charges your battery while it hangs around your neck. It’s equipped with a thin solar panel and a DC plug. Simple, yet brilliant. I’m pretty sure I’ll be needing something like this come next month. The only issue here is...

Microsoft The Xbox 360 S is out. Here’s a review and as early as now, here‘s a case of the RRoD. It’s got a sleeker design and it comes in glossy black. They didn’t make much of a design change on the controller. Instead of the standard black body and gray analog sticks and D-pad, the new controller is all black. It has built in Wireless N and the usual HDMI input and USB ports. There’s also a plug for the Kinect,...
