Apple's next revolution should be in your car

I've had the, er, pleasure in the last few months of driving in a range of cars, most of which were rentals for various business trips. Every car is different, yet the basics such as how the steering wheel and gears work are very similar. How the lights work, mirror adjustments, the location of the parking brake, and where to find the gas cap -- they tend to fall into a handful of common locations. You can get into a car and within a few minutes drive it without much further thought.

First image of Sony NEX-F3 leaked, outs 16.1 MP sensor

Image

Leave it to photography buffs to leak product shots that are decidedly unblurry, if poorly framed. Dpreview forum goer Bibogue outed a sneak peek at the Sony NEX-F3, a mirrorless shooter that seems to be poised to replace the NEX-C3. The leaked picture appears to reveal a 16.1 megapixel sensor, a built in flash and a 180-degree tilting screen, and Bibogue says the unit sports a new peaking level feature to help fine-tune manually focused shots. The new unit seems to retain its predecessor's proprietary accessory connector as well, so prospective buyers should choose their peripherals wisely.

[Thanks, Sjoer]

Android Gaming Tablet Looks Remarkably Similar to Sony PSP

The wonderful thing about Android is that it can be installed on almost any device. But the bad thing about Android is that it can land in hardware of questionable pedigree -- like a portable gaming system that looks remarkably similar to the product of another company.

Apple working on 21,468 square-foot cafeteria in Cupertino, wants employees' chatter to be safe

Apple working on 21,468 square-foot cafeteria in Cupertino, wants employees' chatter to be safe

How do you keep your employees chit chat from spilling the beans on your next one more thing? You force the beans to be served in an employee-only 21,468 square-foot cafeteria -- that's how. According to Mercury News, Apple just got the go-ahead from the Cupertino Planning Commission on its scheme to build a colossal two-story bistro exclusively for staff members. While the facility will be mainly used for eating purposes during lunch hours (11:30AM to 2PM, to be exact), it'll also accommodate meeting rooms and lounge areas. Apple's Director of Real Estate Facilities, Dan Whisenhunt, says the company needs to provide its people with a sense of security "without fear of competition sort of overhearing their conversations." Now, we can't help but wonder if it's going to look anything like that spaceship...

Chrome OS and Google Drive to get intimate in version 20

Chrome OS and Google Drive to get intimate in version 20

When Google finally announced its shiny new cloud-based Drive service, many people will have been glad to see an extra bit of storage tacked onto their daily gadget lives. Some, however, spin out a generally more nebular existence, and that'd be the Chrome OS faithful. If you find yourself amongst their number, you'll be pleased to know that Sundar Pichai, SVP for Chrome, revealed in an interview with Wired that the next iteration of its slight operating system will come with Drive tightly sewn into the fabric. The idea is that the service will operate as the local file system, and all the core OS functionality will use Drive for storing data. Third party apps like VMware are already baking in Drive functionality, and expect more to follow when it lands in version 20.
