Fujifilm’s Finepix Z5 will retail in Japan this December. Currently, the price is unknown.

Pictures of the Nikon D40 budget DSLR have been leaked onto the internet.

These pictures show a 6 megapixel CCD, 3 point focusing, but also the sad absence of auto focusing and a status LCD. Because the D40 lacks so many top level features, it is quite probable that the D40 is actually a budget, low end DSLR digital camera from Nikon, targeted towards the average consumer.

A leaked photo of an XBOX 360 shows a 70 gb hard drive.

Compared to the current 20 gb Hard Drive, a 70 gb Hard Drive for the Xbox 360 would be very spacious!!

LG’s Chocolate 2, or the KE800 Chocolate Platinum, is a worthy sucessor to the original Chocolate.

The KE800 Chocolate Premium is a tri-band phone, with 900/1800/1900 with GPRS and EDGE. The KE800 has double the memory capacity of the Chocolate, 256 mb (vs. 128), a microSD slot for memory expansion, a 2 megapixel camera with autofocus and macromode, a FM radio, a music player, and Bluetooth. The KE800 is an anorexic 9.9 mm thick, which is 35% thinner than the original Chocolate slider phone.

The idea behind the Power Aware Cord from the Static Energy and Design Network is to guilt users into using less power. Supposedly, if you see a visual representation of the amount of power you’re using, you’ll be less likely to waste power.

“The ‘Power-Aware Cord’ is a re-designed electrical power strip in which the cord is designed to visualize the energy rather than hiding it. The current use of electricity is represented through glowing pulses, flow, and intensity of light. Expressing the presence of energy through light can inspire people to explore and reflect upon the energy consumption of electrical devices in their home. ” Unfortunately, this Power Aware Cord is merely a conceptual design, at this point.
