Mystery Android slider receiving FCC flogging caught in pictures. (Wildfire?)

It almost seems like a new Android device is caught, spied, or released on a weekly, if not daily basis. Being an Android junkie myself, I certainly have no problem with this. Especially considering a new, Android slider is in the making…

What kind of lens will $7 grand get you? Nikon has an answer…

I’m not a photographer. Even still, I enjoy getting a few hours here and there to play around with my Nikon D90. Not a pro model by any means, but certainly better that all of those dinky little point-and-shoots.

So far I haven’t upgraded anything on my D90. Still, I have my sights set on a bigger lens at some point. How big of a lens is only limited by my wallet. (Damn, short leash there…)

For those with a bit more monetary breathing room, Nikon’s new 200-400mm $7,000 monster is waiting to be called “yours”…

Steampunk Chopper oozes of masculinity and geekery.

Motorcycles aren’t something we typically cover here at Gadgetsteria as after all, we’re a gadget blog. But one thing in particular that gadget aficionados seem to be infatuated with is steampunk gadgets. The steampunk chopper (real name: Black Widow) you see above you — awesome.

We’ll rationalize our decision to mention it on the fact that it has spark plugs, hence it’s an electronic of sorts. Fine by me. Would you ride off into the sunset with it? Props to designer Solifague Design. You make a mean bike.

Packin’ the *affordable* heat: MainGear introduces the Phenom X6 powered VYBE

Looking for pure, blinding speed but don’t have a grand to sink on Intel’s latest and greatest I7 980X? You’re in luck. Today, AMD officially took of the wraps of their new Phenom X6 processors clocked at 2.8GHz and 3.2GHz (1055T and 1095T respectively). While not the fastest processor around, it’s definitely the strongest competition from AMD we’ve seen in many, many months. Not to mention, at under $300 for a top of the line AMD 6-core processor, it’s more than “a steal” when compared to Intel’s $1,000+ i7 980X.

Naturally, enthusiasts are already searching for online outlets to pick up a piece of AMD’s pie. But what if you’re more happy with a pre-built or built-to-order custom PC with AMD’s newest baby packed in? In that case, MainGear has something they want to show you…

The ultimate water toy: $3.5 million powerboat/submarine hybrid

As soon as I get around to winning that Powerball lottery, I can pick me up one of these: A $3.5 million powerboat/submarine hybrid vehicle that is simply oozing with awesomeness. Physical appearance alone depicts a vehicle that is pretty hefty. Backing up that claim are (2) 440hp diesel engines which are enough to muster a 40-knot surface speed. Range is said to be 500 miles.

But even cooler than the looks and macho power is the submersible abilities of this water craft…

Free hot water power shower? Piezoelectricity says yes.

Is it really possible to obtain “free energy”. Out entire lives we are taught and witness firsthand that nothing is ever truly free. Someone, something, somewhere is always making up for “free” further on down the line. But a new piezoelectronic shower concept by Sebastian Jansson (Finnish designer), Fernanda Pizà (Mexico), Victor Stelmasuk (Brazil) and Natalie Weinmann (Germany) questions the very principles of the science we know today…
