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

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 dist
