New Hiker: Casio “shock-resistant” digicam EX-G1

Technology 20 November 2009 | 0 Comments

Casio EX-G1We’ve all dropped our phones or camera at some point in their curiously short life time. But have you ever noticed that the words “shock resistant” or “weatherproof” aren’t usually mentioned in the same sentence as good looking or stylish? Casio aims to dispel that stereotype with the new EX-G1. Not bad looking at all – and we’ll add a few more buzz words in there while we’re at it: freeze proof, water proof and dust proof. Had enough? And you don’t have to be an extreme sports junkie to benefit from its toughness. It drops this December in sexy red, or standard black. Details, technical specs and pricing after the link.

From burning DVD’s to editing this article, everything is just… easier. No, seriously. We decided to take the leap in a smaller way, by picking up a Mac Mini. This little guy isn’t much bigger than a stack of about five CD cases, is whisper quiet and even environmentally friendly. We’ve linked to all the updates you’ll need below.

Amazon Kindle: International Version

Technology 12 October 2009 | 0 Comments

Amazon Kindle InternationalWe’ll have to admit that we were skeptical about the Amazon Kindle at first. But after taking the plunge and actually using one – we’re sold. It’s as thin as most magazines and weighs less than a paperback—but can hold 1,500 books. A special electronic-ink screen looks and reads like real paper with no glare (even in bright sunlight). Today Amazon announced the international version is available for pre-order. We think it’s worth checking out; more info after the link.
