But I have nothing on the dude in this video, who can wax lyrical on every single facet of the microbiology that exists in our compost and in… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo: Friends of Stony Stratford Library via Facebook Mohandas ‘Mahatma’ Gandhi was a famous proponent of nonviolent civil disobedience, seeing it as “a weapon of the strong.” That’s not to suggest that he advocated inaction. On the contrary, he said, “The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.” Which brings us to the Friends of Stony Stratford Library (UK) who organised their ‘Wot No Books’ campaign and harnessed the power of social networking to get the wo… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Sony Ericsson has gone through the trouble of creating a three minute thirty second video that showcases just what makes the 8 megapixel shooter on the Xperia Arc function at such a high level. SE details several improved features, such as an enhanced Sony sensor and f/2.4 aperture, that make the Arc’s camera ideal for indoor and low-light conditions.

Let’s get this out of the way right up front: Sandisk’s new UHS-I SDHC cards are fast but not that fast. So for all the talk of “extreme” and “pro” just remember that the claimed 45MB/s read and write performance pales in comparison to Toshiba’s own UHS-I cards announced back in September with staggering 95MB/s read and 80MB/s write speeds. Still, they’re fast enough to capture HD video from the latest DSLRs and certainly faster than anything touting a Class 10 SDXC rating. Now for the best part gadget masochists, they’ll range in 8GB to 32GB capacities with retail pricing set somewhere between $109.99 to $349.99. Just be sure your camera supports UHS-I before making the plunge, ok?

January 18, 2011 No Comment
There’s usually as much fun to be had before an Apple product launch as there is after, and this upcoming iPad 2 device is no exception . The latest scuttlebutt it has succumbed to comes courtesy of some cases that have cropped up in China — AppleInsider and MIC Gadget have independently found iPad 2 shells that feature nearly identical cutouts — with the resulting allegations pointing toward a rear-facing camera, an SD card slot, and perhaps even a Mini DisplayPort receptacle. Our own sources have confirmed the former two, but the latter, a miniaturized video output already featured in MacBooks, is a new development and less of a certainty. Then again, looking at the size of the hole leaves few alternative options (and a USB slot is extremely unlikely), so we’re willing to believe that a Mini DisplayPort will be an inclusion Apple makes for the sake of offering choice — even if it prefers you to send your video streams over an untethered AirPlay connection.
