You’ve got entirely too many RAW files and uncompressed David Bowie albums to be slamming everything onto a 16GB thumbdrive, so Kingston Technology’s coming to the rescue with a new pair of ultra-spacious DataTraveler 150s. Arriving in 32GB and 64GB flavors, the DT150 becomes the largest in the outfit’s entire DataTraveler line, and it even works with Windows, OS X, Palm OS and Linux! Both sticks come with a five-year warranty (as if you won’t lose it before then) and will sell for $132 and $177, respectively.

A high speed camera is a device used for recording slow-motion playback films, or used for scientific study of transient phenomena.
A normal motion picture is filmed and played back at 24 frames per second, while television uses 25 frame/s (PAL) or 29.97 frame/s (NTSC). High speed cameras can film up to 250,000 frame/s by running the film over a rotating prism or mirror instead of using a shutter, thus reducing the need for stopping and starting the film behind a shutter which would tear the film stock at such speeds.
New Orleans resident Ronald Richard was mowing the lawn when he felt a hard object hit him in the chest — precisely where he’d been keeping his pink Swarovski-encrusted (just kidding) RAZR. It was only after Richard took off his sweater that he discovered the .45-caliber slug and realized that the phone had literally taken a bullet for him. According to paramedics, the angle of the bullet and the modest stopping power of the cellphone were all that stood between the man and serious injury or even death. Instead, this lucky gent got away with little more than a fairly significant bruise and an excuse to pick up that Aura he’s been coveting.

Sony Pictures has put up an interesting promo for their upcoming film - 2012. Instead of promoting the movie’s official site in the trailer, they just show a message saying "Google Search: 2012".
This is obviously a good idea because their audience need not have to remember any complex web addresses but the only problem is that the official site of movie 2012 doesn’t figure anywhere in the top 10 Google results.
Anyway, this film is expected to hit movie theatres in July next year so the web team at Sony Pictures still has plenty to time to work on their SEO / link building / Google Bomb campaign. Thanks Russell.
