While camera makers like Sony, Fujifilm, and Olympus have found varying levels of success with the mirrorless camera format, Nikon has been more conservative, limiting its offerings to devices that are closer to the point-and-shoot market. It looks like that’s going to change soon, as Nikon has said that going forward, all of their mirrorless cameras will be full-frame. This … Continue reading
I recently had the opportunity to test out Retro-Bit’s RES+ console, which lets you play classic 8-bit Nintendo games over an HDMI connection, resulting in image quality heretofore unseen from these classic games. If you’re looking for something a bit more versatile, you might want to check out this system out of Japan, which lets you go handheld, while also offering an HDMI output when you’re at home.
The FC Pocket HDMI is designed to play Nintendo Famicom games on its built-in 7″ LCD screen, but also has an HDMI output so you can connect it to a big screen TV. One big advantage I see here over the RES+ as well is the ability to play games in either 4:3 or 16:9 ratios, so you can still play games in their original format if you prefer. The retro Famicom controllers stick out like a sore thumb compared to the handheld itself. I wish the handheld were styled like a Famicom too.
In addition to being compatible with original Famicom cartridges, the system comes with 112 “original” games built in. It’s not clear what those games are – if they’re licensed Nintendo games, or the kind of mixed bag of low-rent titles that often come built into Nintendo emulators. I haven’t been able to confirm this, but I’m guessing it can plan NES cartridges with an adapter as well.
Like many Nintendo “compatible” systems, not all sounds reproduced will be identical to the original Famicom, and there may be occasional glitches. Still it looks like a pretty neat system.
The FC Pocket HDMI system is available for pre-order from NCSX for $138.90(USD), and will start shipping in late October.

It’s been two years now since Porsche revealed the stunning Mission E concept — its first all-electric model — at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. Since then we’ve heard that the four-door will actually enter production to challenge Tesla’s growing dominance in the EV market, but little else has been revealed. That’s finally starting to change, as the German carmaker’s … Continue reading
Are you feeling lazy? Me too. As I write this, it’s 8:30 am on a Sunday, and I should either still be in bed, or chilling on the couch, and not clicking away at my keyboard. Alas, the Internet never sleeps, and therefore I don’t get to either. But when I’m done for the day, I’m heading to the couch and curling up with my favorite pillow. I only wish I had this sloth pillow to keep me company for my afternoon nap.
This cute and cuddly sloth pillow is covered with a fluffy faux fur, and has that look of satisfaction permanently embroidered onto its face. And unlike a real sloth, you don’t have to worry about being stabbed by its sharp claws. I’ve never been able to get close enough to put a tape measure up against an actual sloth, but 16″ x 13″ sounds like it’s about 75% scale.
Want one – or a dozen? Head over to Urban Outfitters, where you can adopt your own sloth menagerie for $49(USD) each.
Torrent and piracy websites are in a difficult situation when it comes to raising money. The more they grow in popularity, the bigger the costs of operation get, but they can’t exactly depend on advertising revenue to survive. While donations via Bitcoin have been the preferred option for some time now, it appears The Pirate Bay may be moving to … Continue reading

Are you on the lookout for a brand new monitor? If you have answered in the affirmative, then you would very well want to consider the all new AOC 27-inch C2789FH8 monitor. This is one particular monitor that takes after the current bezel-less craze in TVs and smartphones, dropping most of the bezels in order to provide a maximum viewing area with a minimal footprint. In order to achieve this effect and further augment it, it will arrive with a curved Full HD VA panel for a beautiful and immersive experience.
Being well capable of delivering fantastic image quality at its Full HD resolution, the other part that appeals about the C2789FH8 would be its gorgeous ultra slim design. The display’s premium design will sport svelte gold legs and a close to borderless frame. Thanks to the curved VA panel, your eyes will be treated to a detailed 1920×1080 resolution and fast 60Hz refresh rate. Boasting of wide-viewing angles, users are able to enjoy consistent color uniformity and accuracy regardless of which particular angle they are viewing the monitor from. Other specifications of the C2789FH8 of note include a 50 million-to-1 contrast ratio with a response time of 4ms, alongside a curvature of 1800R.
The asking price for the AOC C2789FH8 stands at $249.99 apiece, which is not too shabby at all considering the kind of performance it comes with. AOC has also thrown in their very own Super Color technology which will enable a wider color gamut. In other words, the color spectrum has been enhanced so that one will be able to view true-to-life colors. With Flicker Free technology thanks to a direct current (DC) backlight system as opposed to pulse width modulation (PWM), you can use the AOC C2789FH8 longer without tiring your eyes out. Seems to be fantastic for the office drone or dedicated gamer, the AOC C2789FH8 is worth looking into.
