Nikon Coolpix S52c Compact Camera (WiFi ) Reviews

April 12th, 2008 by e-tech

Nikon Coolpix S52c Compact Camera
Nikon just released the Coolpix S52 and S52c compact cameras. The S52c is the more interesting one because it has integrated WiFi hardware allowing it to upload content to the web directly.

S52c Highlights

* 9 Megapixel
* 3x optical zoom
* Image Stabilizer
* Can shoot video

According to dpreview.com, the S52 is equipped with the same exciting features as the S52c, but is intended for those who do not require internet connectivity. This allows for a slightly smaller body (93 mm wide) and is available in two colours: silver and plum black (depending on country of sale).

Both cameras offer convenient, user-friendly controls and an easy-to-follow set of on-screen menus for access to advanced functions.

iPod movies on a bigger screen!

April 11th, 2008 by e-tech

The iPod is a great gadget to have for music and videos, it’s not exactly come with the largest display. Its screen that has QVGA resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio can be enough for album art visualization, however, it is a bit small for watching movies comfortably. Why buy another PMP with a big screen while you already have your iPod? Try some special Video Enlarger gadget accessory for it instead!

If your anything like me your Firefox browser would have been well cluttered with toolbars by now, i can’t help myself, Google and Stumble Upon toolbar is a must have for me.

makeuseof.com has written a timely article to help you and me de-clutter our favourite browser.

Excerpt:

I have a few toolbars and around ten extensions installed whose configurations and buttons seemed to have loaded up the interface with a lot of junk. Moreover, I don’t really use the default options and buttons presently in the Firefox window that much. So I wanted to hide them and make my browsing a better experience.

With prices ranging from $9.99 - $16.99 you know this is a must t-shirt to own this election season.

According to ThinkGeek.com:

We wanted to introduce you to our favorite candidates in the running for the ‘08 election: Mario and Luigi Giordano. They own a local pizza joint where everything’s homemade, just like in momma Italy. Face it. Almost all America’s problems can be solved with a generous application of mozzarella. And pepperoni. And especially mushrooms.
