Canon EOS Rebel T1i

Canon has added a new DSLR camera to its range with the launch of the Canon EOS Rebel T1i Digital SLR Camera.

The Canon EOS Rebel T1i Digital SLR Camera features a 15.1 megapixel sensor, a 3.0 inch LCD screen, ISO 12.8k sensitivity, a Digic IV processor and it can record 1080p HD video.

USB Vacuum Desk Cleaner

Have you checked out the new USB powered vacuum cleaner from Dirt Devil called the "KWIK?" It's designed to live in your work area or entertainment system and cleanup crumbs from keyboards, pet fur, dust in gaming equipment, entertainment centers, and other expensive electronic equipment.

Maxtor BlackArmor 160GB USB Drive for $59

They say that good things come to those who wait. Like us you once looked at the super-secure Maxtor BlackArmor drives and thought "Wow, I'd really like one of those, but they are way too spensive." This is a drive you could feel safe about putting your pr0n tax returns on, with its hardware-based full-disc encryption technology and all. Hmm, what's that? BlackArmor drives are only $59 at TigerCompUSA? Whoa!

How Do You Create Your Own 1,474-Megapixel Photo?

Some people like to say that "size doesn't matter." We think that those people have never seen the gigapixel photographs taken with a GigaPan Epic Sytem. David Bergman, a self-described "All Access" photographer took his GigaPan Epic to the recent inauguration of President Barack Obama:
My final photo is made up of 220 Canon G10 images and the file is 59,783 X 24,658 pixels or 1,474 megapixels. It took more than six and a half hours for the Gigapan software to put together all of the images on my Macbook Pro and the completed TIF file is almost 2 gigabytes. 

Priced at $379, we think the GigaPan Epic is a steal for what it does. So must have one of these. 

New Cloaking Device

Ever since the release of H.G.Well’s hit 1896 novel, The Invisible Man, the concept of developing a real life invisibility cloak has slowly grown from a crazy sci-fi concept, into a reality. But finding a material able to bend light in a manner that makes the object behind the cloak disappear, has been no easy feat.

Scientist realized they must engineer their own ‘meta-materials’, artificially structured materials that have properties not found in natural materials, and thus several advancements have been made in the recent years. 

Now, engineers from Duke University have almost perfected a device that can “cloak” items placed on a mirror surface. 

The first design of this device came in 2006, however the specifications of the materials distorted the light that bounced off. 

To create the new device, researchers developed a new set of mathematical algorithms which were used to engineer a new metamaterial able bend electromagnetic light waves around an object so it appears invisible. 

Hi-Speed USB Mini Modules

FTDI Announces FT2232H and FT4232H Hi-Speed USB ICs
FTDI is pleased to announce the release of two new ICs - the FT2232H Hi-Speed USB Dual UART/FIFO IC and the FT4232H Hi-Speed USB Quad UART IC.

Both of these new ICs are USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices operating at 480Mbps. In addition to the standard UART and FIFO modes, each of these devices supports FTDI's bit-bang modes and contains two multi-protocol synchronous serial engines (MPSSEs) to allow communication using JTAG, I2C and SPI protocols.
