Intel Silicon Photonics Chip Is World's Fastest (and Prettiest) [Intel]
MIT's Tech Review has the scoop that Intel's wizards have come upwith a new chip entirely made out of silicon that "can encode 200 gigabits of data per second on a beam of light" versus the measly 100 Gbps that the fastest optical networks currently churn at—which aren't made of silicon. Which mea
Pentax P80 Is Less Than an Inch Thick, but Has 12 Megapixels, Rapid Face Detection and 720p Video Recording
Pentax's P80 camera doesn't really do anything that original or spectacular for its time—the 12.1 megapixel sensor, 720p, 30 fps video recording, face detection and 0.8-inch thickness are all pedestrian compared to other cams—BUT it is $200. The P80 can even detect faces at an angle and
Coming Soon: Mind-Reading Cell Phones
What if cellphones knew what sort of moods we were in? What if they could anticipate to whom we'd crave to talk? What if they knew which calls we're waiting for? If Intel has its way, they soon will. The cell phones of 10 years ago look like ancient relics compared to the smartphones of today. Bu
Why More Megapixels Isn't Always More Better
Between all the new digital cameras pooped out before the upcoming PMA show and the crazy cameras buried inside cellphones at MWC, it's a good time to go over why more megapixels isn't necessarily better. So, the nutshell explanation of how a digital camera works is that light lands on a sens

Powershot SD780 Is the Puny Point-and-Shoot Canon Employees Wanna Take Home
Canon's got a bajillion cameras laying around, but this little guy, the Power SD780, is the one that most of the Canon reps said they want to stick in their pants and take home. That's because it's really teeny and the easiest to stick in your pants, and it pulls off the square form factor really n![Physicists Devise Warp Drive Plans for Traveling Faster Than Light [Science]](http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/08/eventhorizon.png)
Physicists Devise Warp Drive Plans for Traveling Faster Than Light [Science]
Warp drives, those vague constants of science fiction movies, might actually become real, allowing for travel faster than the speed of light. According to two physicists from Baylor, they've come up with a concept for a warp drive that would shrink space, allowing for a craft to jump ahead vast distYanko Design: Ten Classic Concept Watches On Yanko Design

AWESOME Concept Timepieces, as classy and classic as YD!
Here They are:
10) Elio – Linear Scale Watch by Pierre Haulot & William Boullier
Elio Linea is a very contemporary design that uses linear scale (like a computer downloading gauge) to tell the time.
9) eCO2 Watch by James Kershaw & Chad Garn
Portraying itself as a Carbon Dioxide Scrubber, the eCO2 is one of the green concepts that wants to look as stylish as ever! The sporty look hides vents to take in the bad bad CO2 and expels O2.
8 ) Timeflex – Stick On Watch by Igor Solovyov & Maria Solovyova
Totally fictional, but still an awesome deal, imagine a stick on disposable watch, the kinds that you slap onto the back of your palm during your Yoga classes and then discard! Brilliant idea but too farfetched!
7) Spinning Time Concept Watch by Glen Adkins
An oxymoron for a watch, the Spinning Time Concept doesn’t give you the time accurately. Instead the hours and the minutes get rounded off to nearest tenths. Cool for tardy people like me!
6) Swatch Air Tube Watch by Laurence Dawes
Sleek and living up to Swatch’s reputation of style, this Air Tube Watch concept is futuristic all the way. Based on air tube you find in most bicycle pumps, it juxtaposes two existing products in a contemporary fashion.
5) i/o Concept Watch For Women by Robin Lapo Bigio & Olivero Zanon
Retarding the notion that hi-tech watches are for men, this awesome looking i/o Concept is an uber-cool fashion accessory for us ladies. Bangle, bracelet watch!
4) Nixon Watch by Lysandre Follet
Can’t hang up the games? No worries when you have concepts like the Nixon to incorporate quick games of Tetris and Pong Forever.
3) F1/Carbon GMT by John Pszeniczny
Priceless Gem! Inspired by the F1 race car world and constructed of carbon fiber, Swarovski crystal, rubber and metal, this timepiece has 18 identical rubies and tells the time in everyone of the 18 cities on the 2008 F1 circuit. With a built in lap timer function and a stopwatch, time will seem to stand still as it races by at relative speed…which is 42.
2) M60M Watch by Roger Kellenberger
A watch with no face! Amusing and very interesting! M60M features rotating disc instead of traditional hands to show the time.
1) Luna Watch by John Pszeniczny
Another gem by John Pszeniczny, this crystal, stainless steel and Spessartite Garnet creation re-defines classy looks in watches. To tell time, just touch the two contact points and time seems to magically float inside the crystal.
