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 distBlog Focus on Google Nexus One Reviews

The Google Nexus One, announced by Google to be sold directly to the public unlocked, has been hyped as the Android flag-bearer, the iPhone killer, and a hemorrhoid cure. Does it accomplish any of those goals?
The blogs chatted amongst themselves and came up with the following in their reviews and hands-on articles:
• Gizmodo — First, here’s Gizmodo’s Everything You Need to Know compilation work. The specs, carrier details, etc. are there as well as a hands-on impression from December.
• Engadget — “It’s a good Android phone, but not the last word — in fact, if we had to choose between this phone or the Droid right now, we would lean towards the latter.”
• GigaOM — “It certainly is the best Android device on the market, hands down. But compared to the iPhone, it’s not as smooth or effortless to use.”
• Boy Genius Report — Just a hands-on at this point, but feel free to get handsy with your monitor at the unboxing porn.
• SlashGear — Another hands-on: “Can the slender battery keep up with the 3.7-inch AMOLED display, plentiful connectivity and speedy processor? We’ll let you know soon enough…”
• Technologizer — Harry McCracken interviews himself about the phone. “Android could use a more streamlined interface–one with fewer buttons and menus, in fewer places… Beyond that, if I were Google I’d do everything in my power to help third-party developers build as many exceptional apps as possible.”
