From Engadget: HTC One X camera discovered to have remote shutter functionality with BT headsets
Here’s something fun for HTC One X owners with a knack for Instagram photography. Recently discovered by ePrice on YouTube, the phone apparently features a remote shutter for its camera that’s activated with some Bluetooth headsets. As Droid Life mentions, it can take a certain button combinations to get it working, but it’s certainly intriguing for anyone wanting to rig this svelte slab of Ice Cream Sandwich to a tripod. You’ll find a video demo after the break, but hey, if you’ve got a headset lying around it might be worth a shot. Let us know your results in the comments!

From Lifehacker: Why You Should Watch and Record Video in 720p Instead of 1080i
Despite the many technological advancements we’ve had over the past few years, interlaced video seems to have stuck around. Interlaced is the “i” in 1080i and the reason it’s not quite as good as 720p. It’s in your cable, your televisions, and your camcorders. You should stop using it. Benjamin Higginbotham, the Technology Evangelist, explains why in the above video. More »

From The UberReview: ZBoard: Segway for Hipsters
Remember Segways? They were supposed to be transportation of the future, but now they’re just a silly trend we’ll laugh at in 10 years when we see them on VH1′s “I Love the ’00s.† Segways were for rich yuppies, but the ZBoard ain’t your rich trustfund beneficiary’s skateboard. Electric skateboards are nothing new, but this one is weight-sensing, much like the Silly Seg. Kicking and Pushing is so Lupe Fiasco’s first single (you probably don’t get that reference), but with the ZBoard you won’t have to.
“To ride simply lean forward on the front footpad to accelerate and lean back on the rear footpad to brake.â€
The Z has a top speed of 17 mph and can go 5-10 miles without needing to be re-charged. The boards start shipping this month so go click right here to get yourself one for $499, and/or check the video below.

From Autoblog: Video: Japanese man makes the best Transformers model we’ve ever seen
Filed under: Etc., Japan, Videos, Toys/Games
Michael Bay’s Transformers were true enough (for a Bay production, at least) to the original articles in their car and robot states, but their transforming sequences were epilepsy-inducing explosions of cranks and gears that made no sense at all. Admittedly, it didn’t stop us from enjoying the first movie.
But the work of a Japanese modeler is what we’ve been looking for: his Transformer takes us all the way back to the original eightes series when Bumblebee was a Volkswagen Beetle. This is version eight, fitted with 22 servo motors – it even throws punches and does a jig – and we’re told that version nine is on the way. We’d like to humbly request that all research on flying cars stops, and every resource be poured into a production version of this right now. Scroll downto check out the video.
