A new lighter from Nathan Gabrielle gives convenience to geek smokers! Instead of the classical zippos, this 21 generation version is flameless; it uses electrical wires to heat up. All it requires is a small battery that gets charged with a USB port. Plus, it also has some decent memory. Cool eh? Now someone tell me where I can get one.
GigaPan is a new add-on for general digital cameras that allows users to take panoramic pictures up to billions of pixels of quality. Not only will this new device allow us to view the world with utter clarity, companies like Google Earth and UNESCO are partnering up with fellow GigaPan photographers to further connect the global population.
The actual add-on is a device that will snap onto your everyday camera, which can then automatically take hundreds of overlapping pictures, ensuring high quality. It takes around five minutes to an hour to take all the pictures; but in the end, the sweet success is always worth it.
A GigaPan will come quite cheaply for such a cool product. Once they get out of the current beta testing, it will retail at around $270 USD. It would be cool to make a real life "Where Is Waldo" picture of yourself next time you take a vacation.
Go ahead and check out some REAL PICTURES of GigaPan. It works just like Google Earth - zoom, image loads, pretty images! zoom more, image loads more, more pretty images... etc. Have fun!
