Pentax SLR Imperial Stormtrooper Edition

If I had to cop a new SLR camera, it'd probably be a Canon, but then again this Pentax looks kinda dope. On Tuesday Pentax announced a white version of its entry-level K2000 SLR and two bundled lenses. Actually this camera could use some design work. So those of you out there in cameraland, specifically Canon...get one of these high end fashion designers to create a limited edition Canon SLR. I guarantee you'll sell out shops. teleport for pics and specifics

The "very limited edition" model comes with white versions of the smc DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL and smc DA L 50-200mm F4-5.6 AL lenses beginning in February, Pentax said. The company won't announce prices until later, but the ordinary versions of that camera cost about $800 today.

Is the War over?

Toshiba announced today that they will no longer manufacture HD DVD components or media. We carefully assessed the long-term impact of continuing the so-called 'next-generation format war' and concluded that a swift decision will best help the market develop," said Atsutoshi Nishida, President and CEO of Toshiba Corporation. "While we are disappointed for the company and more importantly, for the consumer, the real mass market opportunity for high definition content remains untapped and Toshiba is both able and determined to use our talent, technology and intellectual property to make digital convergence a reality." For all of you who already have jumped the HD DVD bandwagon instead of Blu-Ray, Toshiba will continue to sell its stockpiled HD DVD media online.


Nintendo DS...Air:

It's hard to deny that Apple's MacBook Air advertisement is pretty catchy, and while the DS Lite doesn't exactly pull off the whole envelope exit quite as elegantly as the Air it doesn't do a half bad job representin'. In the spoof below, you'll see a black DS Lite retrofitted into the MBA spot, and while the text, lighting and overall smoothness isn't on par with the original, at least the music is spot-on. This is comedy.



Vumber, Secret Agent Phone Service:

A Vumber is a number from any area code you want, linked to your home, cell, or work phone. When someone calls your Vumber, Vumber lets you control how you handle the call: you can a) answer it; b) send them to VumberMail; c) give them a busy signal; d) tell them the number is out of service; or e) play them a custom message you create.

It provides unequaled privacy protection when anyone calls your Vumber, and when you call anyone. And it’s not limited to a pre-defined one-to-one calling relationship like you sometimes see out there – it is as simple as having another phone number. Even simpler. Vumber puts you in total control of your communications and your identity.
