Hackmodo: Use a Chicken's Head as a Camera Stabiliser

Posted by Jason Chen at 11:00 AM on November 25, 2008

Don't have an anti-shake camera stabiliser in your camera? Have a chicken handy? Great! Just strap your cam to its head and watch as nature's image stabilisation service does all the work work. According to the video, motion processors use an inertial measurement unit, which senses motion (rate, type and direction) and compensates for it. Chickens have a pretty advanced version. There you go: easy image stabilisation. [Thanks Graham!]

Klipsch Image X5 Earbuds Are 2mm Bigger Than Smallest Earbuds

Posted by Jason Chen at 7:00 AM on June 5, 2008

These Klipsch Image X5 are the follow-up to the original Klipsch Image headphones, which were the smallest in-canal earbuds ever. The originals are now X10s (top), which are 2mm smaller than the slightly beefier X5s (bottom). The buds still have Contour Ear Gels and noise isolation, but cost US$250 as opposed to the US$350 of the X10. Depending on how these sound in comparison to the flagship X10, they might be a pretty good trade-off of 2mm for US$100. Make sure to try shoving something really deep inside your ear to simulate how it feels before you buy a pair. It's not for everyone. [Klipsch]
