Hasta La Gadget!

Ortery Technologies has launched its Photosimile 5000, a self-contained, light-box-style photo studio with which businesses or individuals can easily create 3D animations and still images. This product, which was shown at CES 2010, is now available for sale.

The Photosimile 5000 consists of a 28- by 28- by 28-inch box in which one can place an object and have it photographed, using an included Canon DSLR camera positioned on a track, in 2D or as a 3D animation in spherical, hemispherical, and 360-degree formats. The object being shot is set on a turntable, which can be rotated. For illumination, the light box uses 6500K (daylight-simulating) light bulbs.

If you use eBay and Firefox frequently, you have an opportunity to get in on “Firefox Companion for eBay,” a new alpha test program.

Recently, eBay has made an effort to make advancements and improvements with their service while Firefox has been putting major effort into securing as much of the market as possible. They’re teaming up to offer both eBay and Firefox users the best of both worlds.

Back in March when the alpha version of Adobe Apollo was released, it was stated that eBay was working to take advantage of Apollo to bring in a better experience for their users, and a demo showed just what eBay was working on. It was nice to see that eBay was taking advantage of new technology that could make their user’s experience that much better. 

Firefox’s efforts have focused on teaming up with major companies.  Most recently, Firefox teamed up with Kodak to offer an image-sharing feature where users can drag and drop image files from their hard drives to the Firefox window, and then they can be published on Kodak’s gallery site.

The latest team-up between Firefox and eBay will be used to “help build a faster, safer auction experience,” and will help Firefox users manage auctions right from their browser.

Mozilla is definitely smart for joining with major companies to help promote Firefox. Both eBay and Kodak will end up promoting Firefox because it works well with their services. Non-Firefox users in turn will be enticed to try out Firefox to see how their favorite services work with it.

We’ve contacted Mozilla to get in on their reviewer’s program, and once we do we’ll give you an update on how this add-on/extension works.

Would you pay $1,200 for an as-of-yet unreleased Intel Core i9 chip? Hard to say if the transaction actually occurred, but an auction recently ended from a Taiwanese eBay user who claims to be selling a six-core, 2.4GHz Xeon Westmere Gulftown processor. We can’t vouch for the validity of the listing, but those are some pretty convincing pictures being tossed around — ones that aren’t blurred, which might give Intel an advantage in snooping out the leak. That’s not all, though — Nordic Hardware (via Tom’s Hardware) also reports that the OCTeamDenmark forums had it listed for on sale for $850. The 32nm fella had some promising benchmarks released recently, although its release isn’t slated until at best sometime early 2010. Sure, it’s great to be first, but with early adopter prices like that, we don’t mind waiting until it goes official.

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure — that’s the bromide behind eBay. And sometimes if you look hard enough you can find a device that changes everything. An invention so magnificent, so unknowable, that its discovery alone could “make you feel good all over the world” without even making a bid. The prototype pictured above has universal purpose: it can inflate helium balloons when it detects hot lava, find gold floating in the sea, or let you know when a horse wakes up with the Swine Flu. Really, the choices here are limitless. And for just $10.51, the “Universal Invention of the future” is yours — hurry, just 8 hours left. Check the video treasure after the break, you can thank us later.
