Thinner, Lighter Than iPad 2
Suuuweet!
Amplify’d from www.wired.com
Samsung has already superseded its own inadequate ten-inch Galaxy tab with a brand new tablet that it thinner than the iPad 2. The company has also announced a tweener-sized 8.9-inch tablet.
This upgrade to the cheap-feeling Tab 10.1 we saw at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, measures in at 256.6 x 172.9 x 8.6 mm and weighs 595g. Compare that to the iPad 2, at 241.2 x 185.7 x 8.8 mm and 601 g for the Wi-Fi only model.

Verifone adding NFC to all new POS hardw
Amplify’d from www.slashgear.com
Point-of-Sale (POS) hardware specialist Verifone has confirmed it will be integrating NFC support into all of its new terminals, a move that should dramatically speed the adoption of wireless payments. Describing the decision as a reaction to “merchant resistance,” CEO Douglas G Bergeron told NFC World that those retailers upgrading their POS hardware will find that they are automatically able to process NFC and contactless payments. However, he also cautions that throwing in an NFC chip won’t be sufficient to kill off traditional payment methods.

New MacBook Pros are here
Amplify’d from voices.washingtonpost.com
The 13-inch model comes with a dual-core i5 Intel processor. The quad-cord i7 processor is available on the 15-inch and 17-inch models.
The laptops have entirely new graphics processors, as well, ditching NVIDIA graphics for a combination of Intel's Sandy Bridge CPU and, on the larger models, AMD Radeon graphics processors. The AMD graphics chips take over in graphics-heavy programs such as games or applications that use high-definition video.

Nuclear Madness in Tripoli
Like we needed more proof
Amplify’d from www.nybooks.com
If any further proof is needed of Libyan strongman Muammar Qaddafi’s mental instability it is provided by WikiLeaks dispatches from US diplomats in Tripoli in November and December of 2009. At issue was some nearly loose nuclear material, a Russian plane, and a lone security guard—a footnote in the WikiLeaks scandal that many may have missed. But first, a little background.

Interesting potential alternative to Garmin Forerunner (405)
Amplify’d from www.uncrate.com
Nike has taken their already popular Nike+ shoe-based sensor and paired it with TomTom GPS technology in order to create the ultimate personal trainer. The Nike+ SportWatch GPS ($TBA) tracks the accuracy of your trip, while the Nike+ sensor tracks your time, pace, distance, calories burned, and heart rate, then posts them to NikePlus.com so you can view your runs and set new goals. If you need a little motivation, it'll also send you onscreen reminders and give you a pat on the back for new personal records.

* Navigate hiking trails using detailed maps, descriptions points of interest, photos, and audio.

Avatar Blu-ray 3D Review
Very agreeable review
Amplify’d from www.bigpicturebigsound.com
Many years from now, when the entire 3D-thing has sorted itself out and become mainstream (if it doesn't fall flat on its face and fail), people are going to look back and say that Avatar was the film that brought hope to the early adopters. I won't go out on a limb and say that it is the best looking home video of all-time, but it is the best looking 3D film without a doubt. The surround track is one of the best I've ever heard and it made me appreciate the system that I own. The current reigning box office champ is sadly only easily available to folks snapping up a 3D set from Panasonic, but I suppose that if one were really desperate for it, they could just buy the Ultimate Pack and ditch the glasses (as they won't work with a set from Samsung, Sony, or any other brand). My only real caveat about the Blu-ray 3D version is that it loses a lot of its impact on a small screen. If you can afford a 54" or larger 3D set or a 3D projector, you are going to want this very badly. A landmark product.
