Nikon D700 Video
June 30, 2008
Yes, apart from the image leak from the German magazine concerning the new Nikon D700 DSLR, here’s a product presentation video (in French) that showcases the D700’s interface, menu system, flash, and even the battery port. Chances are that will be available sometime in July, retailing for approximately €2,600 - that’s roughly a gazillion US dollars whether your calculator’s broken. Actually, $4,000 will net you a 12-megapixel shooter complete with a sensor cleaning system.

The Mac Mini is already so small, you’d be surprised at the number of creative places you can stuff it in without disrupting the visual flow of a room.

The almighty FCC has just approved a new HTC model that goes by the number “RAPH800″, boasting CDMA with EV-DO on 850/1900MHz bands.

FIFER Fish Feeding Robot
June 30, 2008
Sometimes, I think being a fish ain’t that poor after all - you get a nice pond to swim in and get fed at regular intervals. What happens when your master is out of town for a couple of weeks? Surely feeding on mosquito larvae and other insects just don’t quite cut it after being pampered for quite a while. Enter the FIFER Fish Feeding Robot - that floating feeder will calculate the density of fish in the water and release the optimal amount so that your filters don’t have to work overtime while your fish won’t overeat. Before it does so, it will send out sound waves to wide-awake the fish and draw them to it like a magnet does to metal. Too poor that is still a concept device - somebody go realize it already!
