Its appearance may be new, but the way iPhone 5c performs is instantly recognizable. That’s because it has the things people loved about iPhone 5 inside. And more. The Apple‑designed A6 chip delivers impressive performance and graphics. Yet it’s incredibly energy efficient, so you can use your iPhone throughout the day without worrying about battery life. The 8MP iSight camera lets anyone anywhere take an amazing photo anytime. The 4‑inch Retina display produces images with vivid clarity. And because iPhone 5c has more LTE wireless bands than ever before, LTE speeds are now a reality in even more places around the world.

iPhone 5 set a precedent, with an amazing amount of technology in a remarkably thin, light design. iPhone 5s builds on that achievement with Touch ID — a fingerprint identity sensor. An A7 chip with 64-bit architecture. An even more impressive iSight camera. And ultrafast LTE wireless.

iPhone 5s is the first 64‑bit smartphone in the world. And iOS 7 was designed with that in mind, built specifically for 64‑bit architecture. Which makes iOS 7 just as advanced as the iPhone it’s on.

John Scully said:

I’m always surprised that people never ask the question: how could two individuals like Steve Jobs and I, who were supposedly inseparable — we were together all the time, we were great personal friends — how we could we end up in one of these amazing, celebrated clashes?

Sony has announced the PlayStation Vita TV at the Tokyo Games Show. The tiny console connects with a standard PS3 DualShock controller and lets you play PS Vita games on your TV.

Sony also announced its going to have lots of great games when it launches November 14th in Japan. No word on global release dates yet. The PS Vita TV will serve as a PS4 streaming station, allowing you to hook up your PS4 to one TV and stream its games through the PS Vita TV to another television (1080i is the highest resolution output on the device.)

The PS Vita TV will cost 9,954 yen, or about $100, at launch. This makes it a much cheaper solution than the portable PS Vita or its older cousin the PS3.

The Anova sous vide circulator is the first immersion circulator cooker designed for personal use, bringing the technique used by many high-end gourmet restaurants to one’s own home. Not only is the Anova sous vide circulator compatible with existing kitchen accessories, the small, vertical shape saves space, and can be stored effortlessly. This appliance can easily clamp on to any pot in the house, and is a necessary addition to any true foodie’s kitchen.

What is Sous Vide Cooking?

Sous Vide is a technique of cooking food at precisely controlled low temperatures inside a water bath while sealing the ingredients in an airtight bag. This process creates uniquely textured foods that are tender, moist, and unlike anything ever created in conventional kitchens. The low temperatures used in sous vide cooking help the ingredients retain full flavor with exceptional succulence.

Galaxy Gear Introduced as Companion to Note 3

The new smartwatch was unveiled along with Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3, a next generation of the company’s  “phablet” device (larger than a standard phone, with features like a tablet).

The watch is expected to work as a companion to the Note 3. A 1.63-inch display allows you to check updates from your phone at a glance to your wrist, and use about 70 pre-loaded apps, mostly with gesture commands.

But what may be the best features allow you to initiate a phone call from the watch or take video or photos from a wristband camera both in conjunction with your smart phone.

Make Calls or Take Video

Using the watch’s S Voice feature activated by double-clicking a button on the side of the display lets you make a call or dictate a text message to your mobile device hands free.

The 1.9-megapixel camera on the wristband can take photos or short videos that can be stored temporarily with about 4 GB of storage on the watch or sent directly to your mobile device.

It’s not clear how wide the appeal will be for smartwatches.  Some predicted that it may be only people who are interested in smartwatches are the same people who bought a calculator watch a few decades ago when those were hot.

works with cameras ranging from small smart phones to larger DSLR style cameras.

Modular camera stabilizer with bendable support arm. Compatible with DSLR and iPhone / Android phones. Anything up to 4 lbs.

What is a Camera Stabilizer?

A good camera stabilizer will flow through the air capturing captivating dynamic footage along the way. We really like the effect that stabilizer shots have in film but we don’t like the complexity and bulkiness of the stabilizers on the market today.

Why is the FloCam a Better Solution?

The key functional difference between the Tooga FloCam and other stabilizers is a bendable counterweight arm which allows the operator to not only control the number of stackable weights, but also the weight position.
