Sync Desktop

Here’s an office desk design idea that seems perfect for a show like HGTV’s “Design on a Dime”. It’s the “Sync Desktop” office desk by Gareth Battensby and it’s designed to integrate the PC into an office desk while remaining practical. The Sync desk design integrates a tower PC, a foldaway monitor and wireless keyboard, and a USB hub. I absolutely love the idea of having a foldaway LCD monitor. When you’re not in need of the display, simply fold it down and reclaim additional desktop space. Love it. Other nice ideas include an easily accessible power button and DVD drive. Very cool ideas - hopefully someone will actually attempt to make it!

Fujifilm Finepix S8000fd Camera Review

Photography Blog has a deep review of the Fujifilm Finepix S8000fd 8MP digital camera. The shooter adopts a 18x optical zoom lens, and a CCD-shift image stabilization which reduces blurriness at maximum zoom. The camera also comes with a face recognition technology, and a decent battery life. The Finepix S8000fd is priced at $399.99. Here is the conclusion.

In summary the Fujifilm Finepix S8000fd offers a DSLR-like design with all the advantages of a compact digicam. The new 18x zoom is at last accompanied by a mechanical image stabilisation system, and the electronic viewfinder is much improved.
