Looking for that perfect accessory to accompany your Polaroid Pendant? Straight from the depths of Etsy comes this awesome Polaroid “Good Time” ring which constantly reminds us of our instant photography past. Before the time of point-and-shoot and easy preview LCD’s there was only the Polaroid.
Replace the image with any graphic you desire. The seller has chosen a sheep-goat-cow-ram thingy for posterity reasons. What sort of friggen’ animal is that anyway?
I’m one of those guys who brings a camera with him wherever he goes. I don’t think about it as much as I should, but I imagine I can make people pretty uncomfortable by snapping photos of them when they least expect it. Some people get pretty antsy when I whip out my point-and-shoot. And I guess I can’t blame them.
That’s why these Photographer Disclaimer T-Shirts might become an essential piece of my wardrobe. These shirts warn the public that I might be apt to whip out a camera at any moment. So if you don’t like flash photography, you might want to steer clear. The “Beware of Photographer” ($30) and “Flasher” ($24) tees are both available from RedBubble.
You can really get anything made with a LEGO brick pattern, can’t you? Even something as moderately obscure as a stop animation camera.
If your into claymation or minifig-cinema, the stop-motion feature is perfect for creating your own shorts (or pants). This camera retails for around $80. Not too shabby for such an abundant amount of geekery.
So, you’re chilling out in your cube, looking at porn or playing solitaire, or doing whatever it is you do when you’re supposed to be working. It’d suck to have your boss sneak in while you were slacking away. The WiSpi EX30 from Brickhouse lets you secretly set up a wireless camera within 30 feet of your cube, or wherever you want to monitor.
The 2.75″ monitor is easy enough to conceal and is indispensable for letting you know who or what is approaching, no matter how hard they attempt to sneak up on you misbehaving. Grab yours for $175.
Those jackasses over at Boing Boing Gadgets have done it again. Posted a rad picture with no description. Look, is this really a camera with a damn garden growing out of the lens? It seems entirely plausible. Then again, it could be Joel photoshopping his pubes into sprouts.
Normally, we don’t like to post about every new cellphone in the world. There’s simply too many to count and besides, that leaves us with room to post the really cool ones. This time around, Samsung has finally announced the long-awaited Jet. Photos of this phone have been floating around for over a year if I recall, so it’s nice to see it out in the open.
So on to the details: This fucker packs a 3.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen, a crazy 3-D interface that is controlled via that wacky cube at the bottom of the phone, a 5-megapixel digicam with flash and autofocus, 2GB of built-in memory, audio jack, WiFi, DivX and Xvid codecs and to top it off, an 800 MHz processor. Can you believe these specs? Talk about a serious contender to the iPhone, especially with Xvid playback and a processor that’s faster than the desktop I owned several years ago.
No word on a release date or who’s going to carry it.
Digital? We don’t need no stinkin’ digital! This camera is balls-to-the-wall old school. It uses that 110mm film you used to buy for cheap cameras. You know, the ones you’d win at the local arcade in the crane machine. That aside, this is a Voltron robot (the original!) equipped with a working camera. That SLR lens is just for show, by the way. Great for that Transformers 2 premiere this summer! Burn!
Remember the Game Boy Camera? I do very vividly. You could buy an optional printer and print out all these wacky photos that looked like absolute shit. It also had some mini-games and a sequencer for making beats if I recall correctly. Now the camera that made everyone nauseous is making a comeback on the iPhone. Developer Epicore has released a $0.99 app called GB Camera. It emulates the same 2-bit color scheme and should make for some really cool photos now that you can, you know, share them with people instead of letting them rot on your Game Boy.
According to a super-secret, though allegedly super-accurate, source, the iPod Nano 5G will include a camera, as well as a widened 1.5:1 aspect ratio screen and the traditional click-wheel.
The above artistic rendering shows what the fifth-generation iPod Nano will look like. According to the source, you can expect the new Nano to be announced sometime between July and September, along with a new iPod Touch. Is this legit? Too legit to quit?
A freshly released Apple patent reveals that even though Apple isn’t saying much about the future of the iPhone, they’ve still got plenty of ideas up their sleeves over at Cupertino. The new patent reveals a tweaked UI which adjusts even further to assist the user’s needs, altering logo and interface-element sizes when you’re focus might be somewhere other than your phone. But the big news here is the appearance of a front-facing camera. What does this mean for the average iPhone user? We see video conferencing in your future (or at least just plain old video capability, if nothing else).
Video has been a long-rumored and desired feature on the iPhone. The front-facing camera at least proves that Apple is toying with the idea.
