Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters and Accessories Are Not Perfect But Kids Love Them

Topic:

Over the last few weeks, I have been looking at different pieces and accessories for one of the hottest gifts for the Holiday season -- Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters. These little hamster toys look like the real thing but don't make a mess and can be ignored for as long as you want without them dying or running off.

The hamsters and the accessories aren’t perfect and can be annoying for adults, but kids love the things and that is really the point of the little hamsters. The basic component of the Zhu Zhu Pets ecosystem is the Hamster Starter Set. This set includes two circular enclosures and a tunnel to connect them. Each of the enclosure halves has three tunnels running off from it that are used to connect accessories. Read more

The New 27-inch Core i7 Apple iMac Is Expensive But I Am In Love

Topic:

Apple unveiled yesterday the new line of Apple iMac All-In-One computers.
I mentioned several times in my iMac rumors coverage over the last weeks that a Core i7 iMac would give me weak knees and get my credit card number typed into the Apple Store checkout page at light speed.
Now Apple did announce a new iMac that can be had with Core i7, the fastest CPU Intel currently offers. The problem that stands between me and the 27-inch Core i7 iMac besides the November shipping date is the price.

Some say that 27-inch is too big, but I know it is just a matter of getting used to and then you are hooked. I currently work with a 26-inch Monitor and have a 19-inch as 2nd display next to it. The first 2 days I got seasick looking at the 26-inch screen, but now I can not work on smaller screens anymore. Therfore 27-inch just sounds very right to me.

Will Students Love the Kindle?

Topic:

College students are a huge cash cow. Any time a bunch of inexperienced kids get together with thousands of dollars of their parent's or the government's money, retailers start to get excited. One of the biggest college-student related industries is the textbook market. American college students spend close to 10 billion dollars a year on criminally overpriced textbooks. Anyone who can tap into that has a chance to suckle hundreds of millions of dollars into their greedy throats.

That was obviously Amazon's dream when they came up with the Kindle DX. The DX has a big 9.7 inch screen, which was intended to make it easier to read full-size textbooks or newspapers. It can highlight and bookmark passages, look up words, or annotate text with notes from the student. The three major textbook publishers, Pearson, Cengage Learning, and John Wiley & Sons, have all signed up already to offer books on the Kindle DX.

Apple Satisfies its Lovers: LG Close Behind.

Topic:

J.D. Power & Associates released a study today that ranked the level of satisfaction users had with their smartphones and mobile phones. Following expectations, the frenzied hordes of iPhone junkies loved their phones the most. In the normal mobile phone market, LG users were the most satisfied. LG also nabbed the #2 spot in smartphone satisfaction.

Apple scored a 791 out of 1,000 on J.D. Power's scale. The iPhone's ease-of-use, OS, and basic design were all noted as huge contributing factors to its success. This news should come to no surprise to anyone. The iPhone dominates the smartphone market, and it's not just because of the borderline-psychotic brand loyalty shown by some Apple users. From the day they entered the smartphone race, Apple has kept their eyes focused on what modern consumers want out of their phones.

Angelina Jolie: Gadget Fan, Loves the Palm Pre

Topic:

Sexy starlet Angelina Jolie was recently seen on the set of her newest movie sporting the as-of-yet-unreleased Palm Pre, according to a report from the LA Gossip Examiner.

The story quotes a production assistant from the movie Salt who claims:

"I asked her how she likes the phone. She went on about it for about two minutes. She basically said she likes the software better than the iPhone, she likes the thumboard for texting (although the keys aren't big enough), and thinks the screen is beautiful but can be too easily scratched."

Sony's new found Love for PS3 Developers continues with new DECR-1400A and more

Topic:

In early March Sony made some waves saying the PS3 is hard to develop for on purpose. In the last days news surrounding new tools for PS3 developers have appeared. We already reported about the NVIDIA PhysX engine available now on the PS3.
Now Sony is further enhancing its support for developers with the introduction of new Reference Tool models in March 2009, DECR-1400A for North America and Europe/PAL territories at US $2,000 and €1,700 respectively, and DECR-1400J for Japan at JPY 200,000.
Having the same form factor as the commercially available PS3, the new Reference Tool models allow advanced game programming and more efficient computer graphics rendering. With its more affordable pricing, this new model will appeal to a broader range of developers and publishers, and will help to provide a more streamlined game development environment, further accelerating the game development for PS3.

Safari 4 is Love at first Sight

Topic:

Apple just released the beta version of Safari 4. I just installed the 26MB download and Safari 4 has a big chance to get me off of Microsoft IE 8. The new Top Sites and Coverflow Browser history are really very sexy to look at and to use.
The pseudo 3D and mirror effects look great and the browser is very fast in displaying the new UI gimmick.
The new Top Sites feature learns your favorite sites from your surfing behavior. I surfed 3 times to I4U News and now it shows in my Top Sites that is prefilled with Apple's picks. Read more

Sony F23 Camera used in Cloverfield

Topic:

The low-budget monster movie Cloverfield had a very successfull opening last weekend. Sony says that the makers of Cloverfield used the Sony F23 high-definition camera for the footage the character Hud shoots during the monster attack on New York.

"We needed the look of the movie to be very immediate, like ‘found footage,’ so a YouTube aesthetic was the look we were trying to achieve, Nick Theodorakis, digital imaging supervisor for Cloverfield, said. "The F23 provided latitude without sacrificing any color imagery, allowing us to stay as strict to reality as possible while generating that warm look of New York City’s streets with its sodium vapor lights."
