SanDisk Introduces 16GB Flash Card, Minds Blown Everywhere

SanDisk, trumping their own recent announcement of the 4GB Ultra II flash card, announced this week that they will also be releasing 12-gigabyte and 16-gigabyte CompactFlash cards that will fall under their Extreme III lineup. The high capacity cards will ensure that everyone — from photographers, to filmmakers, to high-powered businessmen — will be able to carry massive amounts of information with them wherever they go — for a price, of course.

Baby Bang Experiment Could Open New Dimenson, Blow Up World

Somewhere underground on the Franco-Swiss border, we assume in a secret lab of a James Bond villain, scientists are hoping to probe the secrets of the universe and potentially find new dimensions — the cast and crew of Stargate will be standing by, in case anyone needs their expertise. The experiment will create several “mini” Big Bangs (or very small huge explosions, or a very tiny large collision) using a special device called the Large Hadron Collider, and, by doing so, may or may not create our own tiny universe — complete with our own tiny evolving beings that, when bored, we can throw a tiny Bible to and pretend we’re God.

Sandisk 4GB Ultra II Card Released

Sandisk has just announced the release of its biggest and fastest card, designed to hold upto 2000 high resolution images or upto 4 hours of mpeg 4 videos.

The “biggest” part of this announcement comes in the form of 4GB storage. The “fastest” part of the announcement comes from the 9/10 MB write and read speeds.

Germ Free Wireless Mouse OCDs Its Way Into Hearts

Finally, a mouse that Tony Shaloub’s Monk character can get behind — Iogear’s new Germ Free Wireless mouse not only gets rid of 99% of bacteria and viruses that may be developing small colonies on your mouse, but will also cut down your hand-cleaning time to a mere two and a half hours.

Super Fast PCs in Future, Windows Will Still Crash

If you thought your latest, shiny computer is the fastest thing since sliced bread (we’re not sure what that means either) just wait six or seven years for your new Dell, running on lasers and not exploding at all. That’s right, Intel and the University of California-Santa Barbara have figured out a way to create a laser out of hybrid chip materials that could potentially create computers that are up to 1,000 times faster than today’s computers — and most importantly, at a much lower price. The new technology could change the way we communicate, play video games, and run businesses — it would also, and we say this with a certain measure of sureness — crash Windows.

Inventors Create All-Playing DVD, Work On All-Knowing DVD

A patent has been filed for a new piece of technology that would allow companies to pack three different DVD formats into one, shiny, easily distributed disc. The technology, created by three Warner Bros. employees — Wayne M. Smith, Alan Bell, and Lewis S. Ostrover — is a godsend for Hollywood and its various companies, who have recently expressed concern at the fact that there will be three different types of DVD in the near future — regular DVDs, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD. The companies fear the three varying types of DVD will not only cost them much more money (as they have to release their films in three formats, instead of one) — but will also confuse consumers to such a degree that it would send them into a mad fit of DVD eating and smashing.

New Nano, New Headphones, New Toy For You

With Apple’s introduction of the second-generation iPod nano it’s only appropriate that the company would also release a slew of accessories to fit the gadget. Among these accessories — and the most changed of them all — is the new version of the nano’s Lanyard Headphones. A combination of white fabric necklace and generic Apple earbud, the new headphones are guaranteed to be better than the old, and at least ten percent whiter.

Microsoft’s Soapbox To Compete With YouTube

Using the recent surge of popularity among online-video sharing services, Microsoft has decided to hit the market with its own brand of video-sharing software. The service, called Soapbox on MSN Video (or just Soapbox), will allow users to upload and share their own masterpieces (and videos of cats climbing into remarkably small jars) with other users. The new service is intended to compete with the likes of YouTube, Google Video and MySpace by offering exactly the same features without any real deviation from the idea — making Microsoft company number 2,012 to join the video sharing world.

Wii Hits Stores November, Mario Ecstatic

Nintendo’s much talked about video game console finally has a release date — it will be launched in the Americas on November 19th with a price tag of $249.99 or seventeen gold coins. The system, called Wii (pronounced “wee” but the name is bad enough for fans to consider, “why” instead) is set to break all video gaming standards with a new kind of controller that will detect 3-D space. The long-awaited console can break or make Nintendo — competing with Microsoft’s and Sony’s more adult-oriented systems — but it’s a gamble that the company that made italian plumbers famous is willing to take.

i-mate Releases Four Windows Mobile Devices, Wishes It Was Apple

In news that made almost no waves in the market due to the current preoccupation with Apple’s newly released toys, i-mate announced the launch of four new mid-range hybrid devices meant to appeal to everyone, from older, more experienced businessmen to young, upstart businessboys. All the devices run on Windows Mobile, and while this is considered a feature, we all know better. But hey, at least none of the devices will explode in a Dellian-like fury.
