None of us can wait till the future gets here.

Nikon D3S SLR Gets Official
For those needing the latest and greatest in the DSLR world, there's the D3S from Nikon. The $5,100 shooter packs a 12.1 megapixel sensor and enough light sensitivity to shoot in the dark.

OpenMoko's WikiReader Takes Wikipedia Anywhere
Listen, we know we shouldn't, but we use Wikipedia all the time. Typically, its information is solid enough to give, at least, a general idea of a topic, and it's much more quickly accessible than, say, the Encyclopedia Britannica. Plus, unlike OpenMoko's new wireless WikiReader, the Encyclopedia Britannica won't fit in your backpack, much less your pocket.

Of all the things we have to worry about on a daily basis (the economy, health care, the end of the world in 2012), the available wireless spectrum doesn't rank too highly.
