Fujifilm Z33WP Waterproof Camera Is Like a Metal Jolly Rancher That Takes Pictures

Spec-wise, there’s nothing truly spectacular (har har) about Fujifilm’s waterproof 10-megapixel Z33WP—which doesn’t even fully climb aboard the tough-cam bandwagon by promising shock or arctic defenses—but there’s one thing about it that I love.

The other week I won a Linksys dual-N wireless router as a lucky door prize. Yay me! The problem is that there’s no built-in modem, which my current wireless router has. When I went looking for a standalone modem to partner the new router, I found that most products on the shelves are combo units as well, and they’re often the same price as dedicated modems. So my question to you guys is this: do you use an all-in-one device, or separate devices to connect to the interwebs.

According to the perennially jolly Pete Blasina, digital radio has suffered yet another launch setback, this time because the ABC and SBS weren’t ready. I mean, come on… it’s only been planned for what – five years now?

SCAMP De-Mining Robot Takes Sting Out of Minefield Strolls

Landmines are proof that the human race is made up of total assholes. Leave it to SCAMP—engineered by a firm with the poetically twisted name Humanistic Robots—to clean up that little mess.
