There are still a few things film cameras do that digital cameras don’t. One of those is double-exposures, something easy with every film SLR, and all but impossible in digital without digging into Photoshop.
Enter the Double Exposure Digicam, a straightforward camera with a straightforward name. The tiny digicam is like a pocket-sized Instagram, and lets you snap two photos in the same frame. Some film cameras had a multiple exposure function. Most had to be hacked by holding the rewind crank tight, pushing in the rewind release button and advancing the film, all at the same time. Add in an autowinder and you had a recipe for frustration.
The Double Exposure Digicam will let you do this at the touch of a button. It also heavily vignettes your shots, and the colors skew to the gaudy, giving it a nice lo-fi appeal.
Images are shot at 3.2MP, video is 640 x 480, the “viewfinder” measures an inch, there’s a self-timer, shutter speeds from 1/8 to 1/5000 sec and everything is recorded on SD cards. The only non-tiny thing is the price, but one look at the resulting pictures makes $130 seem like a good deal. Available now.

Microsoft announced that if everything goes according to plan (like that ever happens in the world of software) then Windows 7 will be available sometime in 2010. That gives Microsoft more than three years to round up all of their new features, plan them out, develop them, and test them. I would be thoroughly impressed if Microsoft can get another version of Windows out by 2010.
I’ve got four things below that you can make a prediction on regarding Windows 7:
Safe and anonymous Web browsing is important to a lot of people. I can understand that you may not think about security so much when you’re at home because you don’t think about people intercepting packets of information sent from your computer to a destination. However, when doing important tasks like banking or even just browsing the Internet in a more public place, you should really think about stepping up the security.
