Was twittering like crazy last night while reading Engadget’s live blog and watching / listening to Ustream .

Now gadget lust is acting up again..

If Globe Telecom will allow data tethering I’ll probably buy the iPhone 3Gs because I’m now in the market of buying an iPod Touch.

The new refined unibody MBP seems to be a sensible upgrade because of the 7 hours* battery life but I’ll try not to since my current last gen aluminum MBP still serves what I need. Frankly, a Mac Pro can be a reasonable one if the price is not so prohibiting, this will best paired with my 5D Mark II’s 21mp image files and Full HD videos. But I’ll definitely upgrade to Snow Leopard irregardless.

It’s the year of financial breakdowns for many and it seems these tools “gizmos” are magnets to our hard earned cash. I know myself, sometimes I just need to be flooded with the tech specs and my GL (gadget lust) will diminished. I hope that will work again.

But “one more thing” I really like the new iPhone 3Gs, I already skipped 2 generations and just settled with s60 symbian smartphones like the e61i and e71.

$100k + 1000FPS HD Camera

Regie — Fri, 08 May 2009 09:14:12 +0000

Outstanding sample footage from this $100k camera. A high-speed camera capable of shooting 1000fps that makes fast action so slow and smooth. Hit the link to slash gear for more info.

Click here to view the embedded video.

The BBC have released footage filmed with their $100,000 high-speed HD camera, a modified TyphoonHD4, in advance of their new documentary South Pacific. The camera – which is capable of filming in super slow motion and high definition at 20 times the speed of a normal HD camera – was used to record big wave surfer Dylan Longbottom in a 12 foot monster barrel, the first time such footage has ever been filmed.

Press This Bookmarklet

I’ll be using this from now on. I guess the Press-this tool was an out-of-the-box feature since version 2.5 but I just found out about it when I upgraded to 2.7 last year, although since I first tried it I always got the “Forbidden” error. Anyway here at tekgik.com I was able to use it by editing the bookmarklet. Great tool! Thanks to Noel Jackson
