New Tech: In Madden Super Bowl, EA Sports sees Peyton Manning and Broncos beating Seahawks in historic game

Tuesday, January 28, 2014


Super Bowl XLVIII will have it all — some snow, a furious comeback and a game-winning kick in the first overtime contest in the game’s history.

At least that’s how EA Sports sees Sunday’s clash between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks at MetLife Stadium playing out.

The video game company released its official Madden Super Bowl Prediction Monday, an annual simulation of the Super Bowl on its flagship football video game. EA Sports has correctly predicted eight of the previous 10 Super Bowls, and if the company is right again this year, it will mean Peyton Manning will have made history in a thrilling, snowy contest.

The simulation saw the Broncos defeat the Seahawks in overtime, 31-28, in Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium. Matt Prater kicked a 48-yard field goal through snowfall for the win, making Manning the first quarterback to win a Super Bowl with two different teams after winning Super Bowl XLI with the Colts.


Manning won game MVP honors in the simulation, throwing for 322 yards and three touchdowns. He was intercepted by Richard Sherman, the trash-talking, self-proclaimed best corner in the NFL, who ran it back for a touchdown right before halftime to give Seattle a 10-7 lead at the break.

That didn't stop virtual Manning from throwing at the boisterous Stanford grad again. With Sherman covering him, Demaryius Thomas hauled in a 17-yard touchdown pass in the third. A Knowshon Moreno goal-line touchdown run gave Denver a 21-10 lead before Seahawks kicker Steven Hauschka cut the lead to eight at the end of the quarter.

Manning connected with Wes Welker for a 24-yard score which gave the Broncos a 28-13 lead, but Seattle would not go down quietly. Russell Wilson's touchdown pass to Golden Tate cut the lead back to eight, and with the clock winding down in regulation, Marshawn Lynch ripped off a 27-yard touchdown run. On the game-tying two-point conversion attempt, Wilson faked a handoff to Lynch, rushed left, broke a tackle and crossed the plane to send the game to overtime.

The Seahawks got the ball to start overtime but Denver's defense rebounded from its fourth-quarter collapse to force a three-and-out punctuated by a Shaun Phillips. On the ensuing drive, Sherman was humbled again, allowing another big gain from Manning to Thomas that set up Prater's game-winning field goal; check out the video below. (SOURCE)

New Tech: Google’s Smart Contact Lens Project

Google Glass has yet to reach the market but Google is already working on its latest wearable technology with a new smart contact lens in development.

Thursday, January 16, 2014


Louder than your average AJ3, the Air Jordan 3Powder Blue” sees bold color blocking on the celebrated silo. In person, the blue upper proves closer to that of the Carolina Panthers pantone than that of the Chapel Hill hue, coming off deep and eye-catching. Tumbled suede styles the majority of the drenched upper, with a smoother suede dressing the mudguard. Perforated black suede on the heel and eyelet hits proves a nice surprise, as does a silky wolf grey tumbled, textured lining.

New Article: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Surprise New York City Bus Riders With “ Can’t Hold Us” Performance


New York City bus riders got a rocking surprise Wednesday when Macklemore & Ryan Lewis climbed onboard. The duo quietly got onto a city bus and began performing their hit "Can't Hold Us" to a group of unsuspecting commuters, reports The Hollywood Reporter.


Initially the riders looked on as if it were the everyday mass transit performer, common in the Big Apple. But when Macklemore pulled his hoodie off, they realized it was, in fact, the musical stars. For a unique Grammys promo, which is part of the "Music Unleashes Us" multiplatform ad campaign, the patrons quickly got on beat clapping, dancing and cheering on the surprise performance. Other promos feature hits by Eminem, Katy Perry, and Pink with Fun's Nate Ruess.


Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are nominated as Best New Artist for the awards show airing Sun., Jan. 26 on CBS. And by the way they amped up the entire bus with just one verse of their hit single is proof as to why they've been pegged in that category. "In previous years, our campaigns have focused either on the fans or the artists," Evan Greene, chief marketing officer of The Recording Academy, said. "This year's campaign highlights the common bond between fans and artists -- our visceral connection with music.” (SOURCE)

New Tech: Nikon Announces New D3300 DSLR, 2 Lenses, and Coolpix Compact Cameras at CES 2014

Tuesday, January 7, 2014

Nikon used CES 2014 to announce some new compact Coolpix point-and-shoot cameras and a new entry-level DSLR, as well two lenses.

Despite plummeting sales at the low end, Nikon is keeping its foot in the compact camera door. The company is announcing several Coolpix models, ranging from $100 to $300. Nikon briefed us a few weeks back on the new cameras, and, based on our conversation, the company is beefing up some of its compacts even at the budget level. The takeaway features from the new cameras are longer zoom, a new feature called Dynamic Fine Zoom, and – finally for Nikon – built-in Wi-Fi. Still, the Coolpix cameras here – all targeting budget-minded consumers – are more evolutionary than revolutionary.

The “flagship” of the new models is the Coolpix L830 ($300). It uses the same 16-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor as its predecessor, the L820, but ups the optical zoom lens to 34x with a f/3-5.9 aperture. The new feature is the aforementioned Dynamic Fine Zoom (DFZ), which maintains a section of high image quality in the first 2x of digital zoom. Another first is 3-inch tilting LCD (VGA). Other specs include 1080 30p/50i video capture, Vibration Reduction lens, and zoom lever on the left side of camera. It runs off four AA batteries. Nikon says the camera in this line is popular with families on a budget, an inexpensive alternative to the P500. The L830 hits stores in February, and will come in black and red.


Moving down the line, the compact S6800 shares the same sensor as the L830 but has a shorter zoom (12x, f/3.3-6.3). It also has DFZ, but has Wi-Fi built in. There’s a 3-inch SVGA display, a Vibration Reduction designed for movie making (using hardware and software), and 1080 movie capture up to 60i. The S6800 will be available in February in black, white, and red, and cost $220.


Things continue to get cheaper as we move down the line, and the features vary. The S5300 has a 16-megapixel (non-BSI) CMOS and a new 8x optical zoom with f/3.7-6.6 aperture. There’s a 3-inch HVGA LCD, 1080/60i video capture, VR lens, DFZ, Wi-Fi, and a max ISO of 6,400. The S5300 has a target-finding autofocus system that switches between face priority (when it detects people) and wide-area AF search depending on what you’re shooting. This model will also be available in February for $180, and come in plum color.


Below the S5300 is the S3600. Similar, but features aren’t as robust: same 8x optical zoom, lens VR, and target-finding AF, but a 20-megapixel CCD sensor, 2.7 QVGA LCD, and 720p video capture. No Wi-Fi here. The S5300 is the type of camera that many of Nikon’s competitors are ditching, but Nikon obviously still sees a customer for it – enough to bring it stateside. The S3600 runs off a lithium-ion battery. It comes in silver, red, blue, pink, and black, and will sell for $140 in February.


Lastly, there’s the L30, a super entry-level model. It has a 20-megapixel CCD sensor, 5x optical zoom with f/3.3-6.5 aperture, 3-inch QVGA display, 720p video capture, and an Easy Auto Mode (not sure why you would need it since everything about this camera is automatic). It runs off two AA batteries, comes in red, and sells for $120 in February. But seriously folks, if you have a smartphone, something like the L30 or even some of the cameras above won’t be any better.


New D3300 DSLR and lenses 

Nikon is the only manufacturer to unveil a new consumer-oriented DSLR at CES 2014. The D3300 is a step-up model from the D3200, one of our recommended products from 2012. The D3300 features a 24.2-megapixel DX-format (APS-C) sensor with no optical low-pass filter for better image quality; despite not having the filter, Nikon says images are sharp right out of the box. It has the latest EXPEED 4 image processor, with an ISO range of 100-12,800 (expandable to 25,600). Burst mode is up to 5 frames per second. There’s an 11-point autofocusing system (the same as the D3200), and records video at Full HD in 60p with fulltime AF. No Wi-Fi, but you can use Nikon’s Wi-Fi adapter to add that function if you need it. As a beginner’s DSLR, there are special effects filters for photos and videos, as well as the Guide Mode to help you understand the features. Available in a kit with a new 18-55mm lens (see below), the D3300 will sell for $650 in February. Plus, it comes in black, red, and gray.

As for the aforementioned new kit lens, it’s the next version of Nikon’s 18-35 standard zoom. The AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 G VR II has a unique retractable lens barrel for a more compact form-factor; when locked, it retracts the lens by 20mm. It’s 30-percent smaller and 25-percent lighter than the previous lens. It’s not a powered lens like the ones in the Nikon 1 series, but it has four-stops of VR image stabilization. The lens will launch with the D3300, and is available separately for $250.


If you’re looking to get into portrait photography, Nikon is adding a new FX-format prime lens with an f/1.8 aperture and 63-degree wide-angle view. The AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 G is an affordable fixed prime lens for $600. The aperture is ideal for video as well; the Silent Wave Motor keep the autofocus quiet, a key when recording video. Also available in February.


Development of new D4S DSLR In a bit of pro-related news, Nikon announced at CES that a new version of its D4 DSLR is in development, called the D4S. No exact details have been announced, except to say that it will have better autofocusing and the latest image processor.
