Samsung Galaxy Tab Heading to Verizon
The news about Verizon getting a tablet probably wasn't a surprise to most people. Considering the second largest wireless carrier in the United States is toting Apple's iPad, there's no shock that Verizon would want to jump on the competition train. Also not surprising: Android's involved. We know that Motorola's planning a 10-inch model of their own, but this new internal screenshot is a bit surprising to the rest of us.

Anti-Aging Glasses are Real, May or May Not Work
One way to look at getting older, is the fact that while you progress in age, the technology that makes our world interesting is getting older, and better, each and every day. The other way to look at getting older, is to see yourself in the mirror every day, and notice all those wrinkles, lines, and other obvious indicators that you're racking up the calendar days. If you inherently think about the latter more often than the former, then perhaps these anti-aging glasses from Japan were manufactured just for you.

TRON: Evolution Collector’s Edition Announced, Has Toy Light Cycle Inside
With the release of the TRON sequel just about on us (it's going to be the perfect Christmas gift, after all), there's no reason you should be surprised to see that the video game version's Collector's Edition has just broken cover. As many "collector's" items go, there's always a few goodies inside to make your purchase, which is usually a bit more expensive than the "normal" edition, worthwhile. That's certainly the case with this one.

Wolfhound Used to Sniff Out Contraband Cell Phones, Isn’t a Real Dog
You may have missed it, but back in July, the House of Representatives here in the United States put a ban on prisoners having access to mobile phones. The same rules apply in prison systems all over the world; for example, a gadget called the Wolfhound was just used to find 10 contraband cell phones being utilized inside a prison in Bangkok, Thailand. And, as you can imagine, it's not a real dog.

Thanko HDDV-506 Camcorder Features Swivel Lens
Fortunately for cameras and camcorders out there, the price tag doesn't necessarily mean you're getting terrible features, if you're not finding yourself paying a month's paycheck in one sitting. For example, while it may not be the most attractive, or have plenty of features that may shove it to the top of the hill, but it's not terrible, either. Plus, it's got a swiveling lens -- how cool is that, right?

Movie Review: Avatar Special Edition
It’s obvious why “Avatar” was released again, and perhaps a little selfish on the part of the money makers. Near the end of its run, “Avatar” was pushed off a majority of its 3D screens by up-and-comers that couldn’t do long term damage, but perhaps shortened the length of the blockbuster’s victory lap. The movie could have made more money, so now it has been released again, this time with less than 15 minutes of additional, bonus footage. It’s already out on DVD, and you can even get a free copy by buying a new Samsung phone, so is it really worth seeing again on the big screen? Does the movie hold up, now that the hype has worn down? In a word? Hell yeah.
V-MODA Announces Headphone Upgrade Plan
There are plenty of headphones out there to choose from.

Do a little bit of work, and you could be seeing some price cuts to your next pair of headphones.

HP Mini 5103 Equipped with Intel Dual-Core Atom N550 Processor Soon
When Intel announces that one of their chips will be appearing in a plethora of netbooks, we can understand why those netbook manufacturers might be slow to update their sites. Especially when the new chip is dropping into netbooks that, for all intents and purposes, are new themselves. For example, it was only the beginning of August that we told you about HP's Mini 5103, which --at the time-- featured Intel's single-core N455 or N475 processors. Well, it looks like that's about to change.

Third Edition of Oxford English Dictionary Likely to be Released in Digital Format, Not Print
When it comes to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), when it's said that there's a lot of hard work that goes into creating it, that's an understatement. Work on the third edition went underway nearly as soon as the second edition was published, with a team of 80 lexicographers behind the wheel, way back in 1989. And, as of right now, it's only 28% complete. With that in mind, the Oxford University Press is giving some serious thought into not publishing the dictionary in a printed format.
