Speculation: EVIL cameras for 2010

No, EVIL cameras don't mean that the shooters are nasty, but rather the acronym stands for Electronic Viewfinder, Interchangeable Lens. Good examples are the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 and the Olympus E-P2 Micro Four Thirds snappers. But we’ve heard rumors that other brands may soon follow with their own versions, with Samsung leading the way.

Last year, the Korean chaebol announced its plans for the NX system, which is similar to Micro Four Thirds format. While it's been very quiet this year, we've heard rumors that the firm will be announcing the hybrid camera in the first quarter of 2010.

Next up is Sony. The Japanese electronics giant had expressed interested in manufacturing Micro Four Thirds like shooters and rumor site SonyAlphaRumors claims we can expect the company to unveil its EVIL camera next March.

Then we have Fujifilm, which was the latest to join the Micro Four Thirds consortium.

Psystar receives lethal blow

Famous for having the cajones to sell Mac clones, it seems that Psystar has finally been dealt the death blow by Apple. The Cupertino corporation has won a permanent injunction against the Florida-based company to prevent it from selling machines running on the Mac OS platform.

But there is still a small glimmer of hope. The judge did not rule that the Rebel EFI application falls under the injunction, though that particular piece of software which enables non-Apple machines to install Mac OS X will be tried in a separate case.

Take your games on your vacation

As we approach the longest break we get here at CNET, I'm preparing to head off for my annual journey to England to stay with the in-laws. These trips are marked by long, quiet afternoons in the countryside, and it's usually when I break out some portable games I've been stowing away all year.

You may have recently gotten or are planning to get one of the three big handheld game systems--the Nintendo DS, the PSP, or an iPhone/iPod Touch (yes, it deserves to be called a game system now). You may be wondering about a few good games to take with you. Well, I happen to own all three, and these are my recommendations.
