S3 Krypton Laser Fires 85 Miles

Our skepticism meter is firing out of control, but we just can’t help but hope that Wicked Laser’s S3 Krypton Series laser is the real deal. The company says that it can blast beyond the Earth’s atmosphere, reaching an unprecedented 85 miles. In other words, it’s powerful enough to be viewed from space. Other things viewable from space: the great wall of China, the pyramids of Egypt – catch our drift?

Still not wowed. Starring into the S3 Krypton will unequivocally result in blindness, as it will appear over 8000 times brighter than Sun. And it’s green, which helps, since that color apparently is perceived to be “800%, 2,000%, and 19,000% brighter than red, blue, and purple light respectively.”

Intel revealed "improvable" proc: G622, Core i3-2102 and Core i3-2312M

Intel as expected officially confirmed the information that three of its CPUs: Pentium G622, Core i3-2102 and Core i3-2312M - may be "improved" while in use by customers. All that it takes is to purchase an advance card and enter the code printed on it into a special "unlock application". All three processors are built on Intel's Sandy Bridge architecture.

Pentium G622 and Core i3-2102 designed for desktop PCs, after "improvements", will turn into Pentium G693 and Core i3-2153 respectively. The payment will only change processor clock speeds from 2.6 to 3.2 GHz for Pentium G622 and from 3.1 to 3.6 GHz for Core i3-2102.

Modern Warfare 3 Xbox 360 Console

Modern Warfare 3 will be arriving November 8th. You can preorder the game, but if you’re a true die hard fan, regardless of whether or not you already own an Xbox 360, you’ll throw down $399 and preorder this limited edition Modern Warfare 3 Xbox 360.

Like the “Gears of War 3″ Xbox 360 console, this system will also include special MW3 sounds when you fire up the system and open the disc tray. We’re sorting of hoping for gun fire and explosions, but Microsoft didn’t get specific with the sounds. UPDATE: Major Nelson has provided audio samples of the tray opening and the system powering on. It will also include 2 custom wireless controllers and the largest Xbox 360 hard drive, boasting a total storage capacity of 320GB.

Motorola Introduces waterproof Android

Manufacturers do not introduce waterproof smartphones running Android OS: as well as other specialized devices, they have a narrower audience with specific requirements. However, this August turned out to be hot enough for such novelties: first Samsung demonstrated the Galaxy Xcover, and now Motorola have come up with their DEFY +, an improved version of last year's DEFY.

New gadget has a waterproof, scratch-resistant body that meets the IP67 standard (complete isolation of the device internals from dust, short-term immersion in water at a depth of 1 m). And it also features Corning Gorilla Glass display that is really strong.

AMD starts selling RAM branded Radeon

AMD decided to diversify the range of manufactured products: the well-known chipsets, memory and processors are now accompanied with DDR3 memory modules. These products sold under the brand name Radeon Memory were found in the product list of a few Japan's retail stores.

Prototype MacBook Pro with a SIM-card slot

Behold the great mystery of Apple’s doing. Today something strange appeared on eBay products list. The prototype of 2007’s MacBook Pro with SIM-card slot and with an antenna. Confusing, isn’t it? I really don’t want to believe that Apple could make something that ugly.

Owner states that he couldn’t make it to work in GSM networks, so it works only with 3G networks. He also says that regular MacBook Pros from the era also have this unused and hidden SIM slot, this can only mean that Apple seriously considered a 3G variant of their product. Maybe one day we will see this thing put out on mass production. Who knows.

GE Power Pro X500 more realible

I make it a point to let readers know that I am by no means a professional photographer (though with all these camera reviews I’m getting closer), but I do know what I like in a camera as a consumer. One thing that I’ve always liked are “bridge cameras” – so called because they bridge the gap between simple point and shoot models, and more advanced SLR models. Bridge cameras have a very small image sensor that allows their single lens to take on a multitude of functions (from macro to zoom), and while the GE Power Pro X500 might just be the most inexpensive bridge camera I’ve ever seen, its lens doesn’t skimp at all.
