Peter Jackson reveals the Red Epic secrets behind The Hobbit
Diet and filmmaking legend Peter Jackson's given us another insight into the making of the Hobbit movies, and this time he's talking about his envious collection of tech. Filming with no less than 48 Red Epic cameras at 48fps in full 5k resolution might sound fantastic, but it hasn't all been a bed of cotton candy. Two 3D cameras need to be mounted at the same "interocular" (the inch-or-so di

Android 4.0 is coming, and it's going to be glorious.

To start, Chrome users will find two new extensions, including a +1 button and a Google+ Notifications box, to more easily mark their f
Commodore USA goes Extreme, stuffs a 2.2GHz quad-core i7 into its C64x
We've loved Commodore USA's C64 computer recreations ever since it began producing them back in 2010. Much to our delight, the company recently outed its third variant, the C64x Extreme. This unit features the '80s flair we've come to appreciate, but supercharged to 2011 spec. Crammed inside its case is a 2.2GHz Intel core i7 quad-core CPU (capable of turbo boosting to 3.3GHz), 8GB of DDR3 RAM,

The Lightning Vest is one of the coolest bike accessories I have seen in a while! It is a hand-netted, highly visible safety vest made from a custom developed 3M reflective material.

It is lightweight and

Quick little UI feedback tip
Sometimes when I’m giving feedback on a UI, and I’m pointing out a spacing detail, I upload a little screenshot to Basecamp or Campfire to help make sure the feedback is clear. I wanted to share a little tweak to the feedback which I think is ultimately more useful. In this example I’m pointing out that the space above and below an element is not equal (and I think it should be). I used to d

When "minimal viable product" doesn't work
One of my favorite ideas in the new wave of programming is the notion of minimal viable product. The thought is that you should spec and build the smallest kernel of your core idea, put it in the world and see how people react to it, then improve from there. For drill bits and other tools, this makes perfect sense. Put it out there, get it used, improve it. The definition of "minimal" is obvious.
All the Groupon IPO really proves is that the bubble is back
After a wave of reports that Groupon would have to drop the price on its initial public offering or even cancel it altogether because of skepticism about the company and its business model, the pendulum of optimism swung back again by Friday and the shares listed at $20 — well above the range Groupon was originally planning — and jumped as high as $30 when they first opened. So what happened? Did
General Motors deal would be huge coup for Google Apps
General Motors is reportedly thinking of deploying Google Apps to 100,000 or more of its users. If the automaker does commit to Google Apps, it would be a huge validation of Google’s productivity applications in the enterprise. A big GM contract would be especially sweet for Google because GM is a huge Microsoft shop, and Google is fighting Micrososft in a protracted, multi-front battle for the m

They also killed off the statistics for individual feeds. (Or hid them very well, as I cannot find them.) Of course, th
