I thought some "readers" were joking when they claimed they believed the Onion 's story on a conspiracy theorist finally convincing Neil Armstrong about how the Moon landings were faked . They weren't [...more]
![Nokia N97 Waterproof Experiment Tests Hypothesis That Nobody Ever Had [Cellphones]](http://tekpop.com/wp-content/themes/newspress/images/no-img-thumb.jpg)
You know those videos where someone puts a rugged gadget through a battery of tests that would destroy regular hardware, but the device comes through the other side unharmed? This is not one of those videos. N97Geeks ran their unit through a harsh regime of durability tests, starting with a key'n'coin scratch test, followed by a cereal dunking and water submersion tests [...more]
![Wireless Game Gun Increases Game Realism By 3%, Arm Fatigue By 100% [Gaming]](http://tekpop.com/wp-content/themes/newspress/thumb.php?src=http://tekpop.com/wp-content/uploads/f637cd2155svxzry.jpg&h=75&w=75&zc=1&q=80)
I'd really like this spectacular video to do most of the talking here, but here's the rundown: the Wireless Game Gun mounts a screen on an accelerometer-enhanced toy gun, and allows you to control first person shooters, commando-style. The video doesn't delve too deep into how the gun works, though the basic mechanics are fairly evident. The gun depends on an accelerometer (or similar device) to determine its orientation, which is seems to relay as a raw mouse/keyboard signal, hence the "no drivers" claim [...more]
![Samsung Pixon 12: The First 12-Megapixel Cameraphone You Can Actually Buy [Cellphones]](http://tekpop.com/wp-content/themes/newspress/thumb.php?src=http://tekpop.com/wp-content/uploads/6dda6ec308xon122.jpg&h=75&w=75&zc=1&q=80)
Fortunately, the Pixon's 12-megapixel claim to greatness, which guarantees you nothing at all except for the industry's largest file sizes, is complemented by some decent specs, starting with a 3.1" AMOLED touchscreen, 3G and FM radio. Obviously, though, the flash-equipped camera is the star of the show here, and while relentless megapixel one-upmanship is fruitless and annoying, the Pixon looks like it'll be a decent pocket shooter despite its narrow obsession. Touch autofocus lets you choose a focal point with a finger tap, after which the camera will automatically keep focus on its subject. Shooting speed is quicker than average, clocking in at about two seconds per shot. A bevy of online photo services are supported out of the box, and video recording, though not HD, records at a respectable 720 x 480. The 150MB internal storage is glaringly weak for a camera-centric phone, though I suspect, as is usually the case, that carriers will bundle SD cards when the Pixon finally goes on sale, which will be in June in Europe, and August elsewhere—though not necessarily here.
