| Husqvarna’s Panthera Leo is the mower of the future for your lawn of today Posted: 11 Jun 2009 06:06 AM PDT
 Concept cars are a dime a dozen around these parts — but concept lawnmowers? A little more rare, and the latest from Husqvarna looks to be about as closely related to that rusty John Deere in your shed as Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes McLaren F1 car is to your boss’s E-Class. It has paddles on the wheel for adjusting three independent mowing blades, a “sophisticated” LCD display that displays speed and obstacle proximity, and a rechargeable lithium-phosphate battery with enough staying power to trim your yard for two hours straight, all shown in a soothing and thoroughly rendered promo video after the break. The one thing it can’t do, apparently, is tame the wild locks of Swedish male models. Gallery: Husqvarna Panthera Leo

| Panasonic outs lightest HD camcorders Posted: 11 Jun 2009 05:30 AM PDT
Panasonic is back in the limelight yet again with the release of a couple of High Definition camcorders which are touted to be the lightest in the world. While we don’t doubt the authenticity of that claim, these days such titles are often traded among rival manufacturers in a matter of weeks or months, due to constant advancement in technology. Well, the two HD camcorders in question are the HDC-SD10 and the HDC-TM10, where the former will rely on the SDHC/SD memory card format as the recording media of choice, while the latter takes on a more versatile Twin Memory format, saving your recorded memories onto its 8GB internal flash memory or using an SDHC/SD memory card as well. Either model will tip the scales at a mere 0.5lbs, although the relatively small body is able to pack in 16x optical zoom capability and advanced features to produce beautiful 1920 x 1080 Full-HD videos. The 16x optical zoom found in the HDC-SD10 and HDC-TM10 will be supported by the Advanced O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) function, one of the main tools in helping both camcorders achieve clear zooming while minimizing hand-shakes and jitters that often accompany lesser models. Panasonic’s Advanced O.I.S. is sensitive enough to detect and correct hand-shake of around 4,000 times per second, and allows the high-powered optical zoom to produce clear, stable zoom shots. In addition, the Active mode also extends the hand-shake correction range to allow the shooting of clear, crisp images while walking or moving. Other features found on staple Panasonic camcorders include the iA (Intelligent Auto) function that is able to choose the most suitable scene mode for those who have no idea how to use this, thanks to its chip that is able to pick out the right shooting conditions, in addition to Face Detection for easy portrait shooting, Intelligent Contrast Control for proper contrast in videos and AF/AE Tracking (Auto Focus/Auto Exposure Tracking) that helps you track a moving subject automatically. The Panasonic HDC-SD10 and HDC-TM10 will retail for $549.95 and $599.95, respectively. Tech Cult - We cover the latest tech news, but always with a funny twist.

| Toshiba unveils new line of Regza HDTVs Posted: 11 Jun 2009 05:00 AM PDT
Toshiba is quick to the draw this time round by shipping its new line of premium REGZA HDTV series that originally debuted at CES 2009 earlier this year, making good on their January promise concerning a summer shipping date. Among these new TVs that are set to grace living rooms of discerning movie buffs worldwide are the highly acclaimed ZV650 LCD TV as well as the state-of-the-art SV670 LED TV. These two series will bring together the most advanced picture technology with stunning designs that results in a highly immersive viewing experience which aims to bring home entertainment to a whole new level. What sets apart these Toshiba also wants you to enjoy the best possible audio from a TV set without having to invest in a dedicated home theater system for those who aren’t too particular about having the best audio around, thanks to Dolby Volume sound leveling and Audyssey EQ. The former works great by using human psycho-acoustic algorithms to ensure a consistent volume level, so you won’t jump out of your skin when commercials cut in the middle of your show with what is normally a tad higher than the show’s volume. The REGZA XV648 Cinema Series LCD TV Series will come in 40″, 46″ and 52″ models that will retail for $1,099.99, $1,499.99 and $1,999.99, respectively as they arrive this August. Arriving this month would be the REGZA ZV650 LCD TV Series that will be available in 42″, 47″ and 55″ versions that will retail for $1,299.99, $1,699.99 and $2,399.99, respectively. Last but not least is the REGZA SV670 Cinema Series LED TV Series which will also be out this month in 46″ and 55″ configurations, retailing for $2,299.99 and $2,999.99, respectively.

| Herman Miller Setu Chair Is a Poor Man’s Embody [Office Chairs] Posted: 11 Jun 2009 05:00 AM PDT
The reason for the price difference is that—even while it’s comfy and has great design—it is not designed to work for long periods of time. It’s much better and comfortable than a normal multi-purpose chair, however, even while it is supposed to be a multi-purpose chair. And what is a multi-purpose chair, are you asking? It’s a chair that can go anywhere—from a work desk to a conference room—made for people who don’t sit for 12 hours in a row. Like me and my cubic butt. Yes, twelve hours in a row. Some of them even naked. Let that thought sink now—it’ll make sense through the day. The Herman Miller Setu will be officially announced on June 15. [Otto via Fast Company]

| PhonePoint Pen application is a hand-talkers’ dream come true Posted: 11 Jun 2009 04:57 AM PDT
 Know someone who talks with their hands so expressively that you have to step back or risk catching a wayward exclamation point in the face? The video after the break will make their day. Students at Duke University have come up with a way to use phone accelerometers to capture gestures with surprising precision, allowing them to pipe those motions through a character recognition algorithm and, hey presto, turn flapping hands into letters and numbers. The prototype app is called PhonePoint Pen, and while right now the process looks painfully slow, with large, precise motions required, with a few months or years of refinements you might just be able to jot down a quick text to a friend while running between terminals, all without putting down the double latte that just cost you $8 at the airport food court. The future, dear readers, it’s closer than you think. [Via Yahoo!

| Doom Resurrection for iPhone Due Next Week; Here’s the Trailer [IPhone Apps] Posted: 11 Jun 2009 04:28 AM PDT
Some are already hailing it as a “true next generation game” for the iPhone, and it does have some fairly impressive graphics, as far as the platform goes. But with iPhone 3GS on its way, with a more powerful graphics processor and support for a newer version of OpenGL, isn’t this an odd time to market an iPhone game on its up-to-the-minute visuals and performance? iD head John Carmack doesn’t think so, telling Venturebeat that the game, like other Doom titles before it, will grow into new hardware. He specifically mentions the possibility of multiplayer with OS 3.0, but doesn’t talk about whether or not the game content will adapt to the 3G S. [Venturebeat, Talking About Games]

While Sony didn’t announce a PS3 price cut at E3, Amazon is shaving $50 off 80GB systems all day. It’s pretty much the best you can do unless you enlist for a Sony Style credit card. [
