You wouldn’t think that anyone in the market for a $3,000 handheld camera capable of shooting 3K HD at 100MB/s would somehow get confused enough to end up with a medicore LG plasma Television, but it seems like the folks at RED are worried — the company’s lawyers are preparing an opposition to LG’s filing for the “Scarlet” trademark, and they’ve filed for their own mark. It looks like RED is getting pretty serious about protecting its marks — president Jim Jannard is politely asking RED fans to include a trademark disclaimer when they post about the company’s products, and he says that the proceedings against LG are “just the tip of the iceberg.” Honestly, we think RED’s going to have a tough time selling a judge on the likelihood of confusion between a consumer-oriented HDTV and a decidedly pro-grade camera, but we’ve been surprised in the past — we’ll see how this one plays out.

The latest revision of Sony’s little Walkman E-series mp3 players has hit New Zealand first, apparently, and they appear to be more or less what was expected. 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB versions of the lightweight players will be available, and though the prices aren’t there yet, you can probably expect them to be roughly analogous […]

Probably a bit much for the giggage these days.

Yeah, that’s right, I said “giggage.” Is that going to be a problem, punk?

We’ve seen these zoom lens add-ons before. Now Brando’s slapped together this 6x “Telescope” for the iPhone 3G — a phone not exactly revered for its image quality. Just snap the unit to the back of the iPhone 3G and get to work. How good is it? About as bad as the $19 worth of optics within. Seriously, 19 bucks and available now.

These steps detail how to install linux, in this case ubuntu, on your computer running Mac OS X. The OS is installed on a virtual machine because installing on a hard partition using bootcamp is much harder because bootcamp wasn’t made to install linux. In this case I use VMWare fusion but parallels would do the job also.
