You can now bond with Bond
Damian Koh | Oct 31, 2006
If plastic surgery is out of the question, then perhaps you can arm yourself with the same spy gear that would make you feel like you da man.
Sony Electronics is offering limited editions of 007-branded VAIO TX notebooks, UX UMPCs, Cyber-shots and MediaVault storage devices. Each piece is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. If you have spare cash, you can opt for the Bond Collection bundles which come with an aluminum attaché carrying case and a James Bond welcome kit.
Pre-orders can be placed via the SonyStyle Web site starting November 10, one week before the worldwide release of Casino Royale on November 17. So what are you waiting for?

Battle of the camera giants
Damian Koh | Oct 31, 2006
Humans are funny beings. They can offer unbiased advice to other people, but become irrational when it involves dipping into their kitty, for instance, to buy a dSLR.
So what is a man to do? Read more reviews, both on and offline, and seek differing opinions. If you're undecided between the Canon EOS 400D and the Nikon D80, then it's time to read what Lori Grunin and Phil Ryan think about these two popular digital SLRs in CNET's own prizefight.
Who's the winner? Read to know the answer.
Canon PowerShot G7: Tried and tested
Damian Koh | Oct 19, 2006
Conspicuously absent for two years, which is a long time in the tech realm, we were ready to plant an R.I.P. flag on Canon's dearly departed bestselling series. So imagine to our great surprise when this venerable Japanese shooter resurfaced recently. Will "7" be a lucky number for the G-series? Well, there's a new Digic III imaging processor and face detection capabilities. But is it for you? Find out in our full review.FotoHub's new storybook

Printing out photos and slotting them into photo albums is so passé, time-consuming and sometimes it just doesn't turn out right. So why bother, when you can leave it to the professionals? All you have to do is select the images and, of course, pay when you receive the goods.
FotoHub, with the support of Spring Singapore and Sun Microsystems, has embarked on a new business model that unites all its core functions under a single roof. One of the services it provides is FotoStory--a leather-bound customized photo album.
Under this new business model, all the images uploaded to the company's Web site can be sent to a regional processing center for printing or to the Singapore headquarters for additional services such as large-format printing or customizing photo albums.
All the user needs to do is upload the images, select a template from a list provided, lay out the pictures and send it for print. If you're too lazy to do all that, professionals at FotoHub will do it for you, for a fee, of course.
According to Eric Tan, CEO of the Consumer Division for FotoHub, it takes about two days from the time you click submit to the time you collect the album from any one of its five satellite kiosks in central Singapore.
So what are you lazy bums waiting for?
PSP camera-attachment coming soon
Damian Koh | Oct 10, 2006
We have cameras in just about everything with a battery, from mobile phones to notebooks to even cars and buses. And you think Sony is going to let up on this one for its PSP? Obviously not.
Come November 2, the camera attachment for your precious PlayStation Portable will be available for a cool S$67, which is about the price of a brand new game. While the PSPJ-15003 is a 1.3-megapixel camera, it is capable of recording only VGA-sized (640 x 480 pixels) stills. Weird, simply weird. Alternatively, you can record 640 x 272-pixel videos at 30fps up to 15 seconds.
No word on when it's coming to Singapore or any other countries outside Japan, but if you can't wait, you can purchase the camera online.
