Has it really only been a week since the Consumer Electronics Show started winding down? I took away a lot of thoughts from it, but there was one memory that really stands out. There I was at the Skunk Juice booth, shooting Noah as he checked out the company’s unique magnetic earbud system (which can click together up to four earbuds in one line, at once). The product is a novel idea...
When it came to digital imaging, the biggest stars of CES 2012 were Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm and Lytro. Panasonic, Sony, Olympus, Pentax and Samsung stuck to their current lineups on the show floor, but I know most of the lot will be unleashing new cameras within the next few months.

3D printers and their simultaneously awesome-and-nightmare inducing capabilities aside, basically everything I’ve seen at CES this week has been iterative and evolutionary in nature. Bigger, thinner, faster smartphones. Cameraphones with garish megapixel counts. A garishly specced digital camera with an Android phone shoved inside. Thinner, lighter HDTVs. Brighter, higher pixel-count...
The PlayStation Vita launched in Japan on December 17th, 2011. During that opening weekend, the brand new handheld from Sony sold more than 300,000 units. Since then, however, the device has seen a large dip in sales. The week after its launch saw the PS Vita move only 70,000 units and fall below hardware more than five years in age. The tumble continued for the next two weeks as the...
