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 distEye-Fi Pro X2 Goes All Wireless N

The Eye-Fi is an SD card that adds Wi-Fi uploads to any camera. Their latest flagship, the Pro X2, is pretty similar to old Eye-Fis, but it’s faster and even a bit smarter, too.
The 8GB SD card has equally fast read/write speeds to older models (class 6, for the savvy comparison shopper), but uploading should be significantly faster on supported networks, thanks to 802.11n.
But honestly, the more enticing feature may be Endless Memory.
Endless Memory allows you to pretty much fill the 8GB card to its max, but if you run out of space, the card can automatically delete photos from the card that have already been uploaded safely to the cloud, eliminating the need to dig through your camera storage and guess what’s been uploaded. Plus, you can choose how much of a storage buffer you’d like to leave at all times, in case you’re away from a Wi-Fi connection for a while.
It all seems pretty handy, but for $150 (starting today), it’d better be.
Eye-Fi Pro X2: The Most Advanced Memory Card on the Market
Eye-Fi re-engineered its platform and designed Arcturus – the proprietary chip at the heart of the Eye-Fi Pro X2 that enables the fastest wireless uploads to date. With the 8GB Pro X2, users will experience:
· Class 6 performance for faster read/write speeds
· For the first time, an 802.11n radio and a redesigned antenna for faster photo and video uploads and increased Wi-Fi range
· Endless Memory (*see below for details)
· 8GB storage
· Wireless JPEG, RAW and video uploads direct to a home computer and the Web
· Ad hoc connectivity to upload when not in range of a wireless router
· Hotspot access to upload away from home at more than 10,000 locations in the US
· Automatic geotagging
The Eye-Fi Pro X2 will be available for pre-order on www.eye.fi and select online retailers including Amazon for $149.99 beginning January 5.
Eye-Fi Center: Send photos and videos to multiple locations
Eye-Fi will also introduce a new desktop application that replaces Eye-Fi’s Web based application for managing your Eye-Fi card and experience. The new Eye-Fi Center will offer all users:
· The ability to easily select and publish photos and videos to different online locations – no more limitations on where photos can be shared
· Drag and drop capabilities so users can easily import any photos and videos into the Eye-Fi experience for easier sharing (even those memories not uploaded with Eye-Fi)
· The ability to access some features even when not connected to the Internet – such as adding a wireless network
· A redesigned interface for easier navigation
Eye-Fi Center will be available for download on January 5 for all users.
Endless Memory: You’ll always have room on your card for more memories
The Eye-Fi Pro X2 will offer Endless Memory mode, so users can choose to have Eye-Fi automatically make space available on the card once photos have been safely uploaded.
· The card communicates with the Eye-Fi Service, so that it knows when photos and videos are safely delivered to the user’s computer and/or online sharing site. Then, the card can remove files that have been safely delivered, beginning with the oldest.
· Users can select how much free space they want to reserve on the card.
· If files have not yet been uploaded, the Pro X2 will not remove them.
