Leica’s new X Vario compact APS-C camera can’t compete
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Leica has announced a new fixed-lens camera, the X Vario. Featuring what Leica calls an “unusually large” sensor, an 18-46mm fixed lens, and a 3-inch display, the $ 2,850 camera is aimed at people that want high performance in a compact body. Unfortunately, putting Leica’s PR aside, the X Vario’s spec sheet tells a very different story. There’s nothing unusual about its sensor — it’s a 16.2 megapixel APS-C, the sort of which is featured in most entry-level DSLRs— and its fixed lens is disappointingly slow, with an aperture range of f/3.5-f/6.4. The X Vario, then, appears to be a Leica X2 with a slow, variable focal length lens.

Nokia Lumia 928 billboard can’t wait for official announcement to trumpet low-light camera performance
Author: Buck Howard
It’s not uncommon for an as yet announced phone to pop up on Twitter, or via an insider leak. But a physical billboard? That takes some doing. If this image — spotted out in the wild — is to be believed, Nokia’s Lumia 928 is as real as the day is long. The Verizon handset shown certainly fits the images we’ve already seen, and the low-light boast will stoke the coals of any Xenon or PureView rumors for sure. However, this spot is hardly Times Square, so until we see something a little more concrete, Lumia fans on Big Red will have to keep the faith with that 822.

No Comments »This is the Modem World: When tech can’t save us from road rage
Author: Jesus Sargent
Each week Joshua Fruhlinger contributes This is the Modem World, a column dedicated to exploring the culture of customer modern technology.
So I’m driving house the various other evening after a decent day of work, expecting a little run, some supper and maybe a motion picture. Taking my regular north-south course along Crescent Heights, I listen to Tame Impala to soothe the nerves and get in an additional mindset.
I’m at one of those intersections through which 2 lanes become one because of a parked vehicle in the right lane ahead. I, being in the right lane, gun it a bit at the beginning in order to get some distance from the man on my left.
He’s having none of this, apparently.
Ends up my vehicle is faster, though, and I edge him out. I see him wave his arms frantically, shaking them and then applauding.

Appeals court denies ReDigi appeal, says music downloads can’t be resold
Author: Matthew Baker
ReDigi took a gamble that it might resell legitimately purchased tune downloads, much as you would that one-hit marvel CD you bought in senior high school. Unfortunately for ReDigi, the chances weren’t ultimately in its favor: a Southern Area of New York court has actually obliterated ReDigi’s appeal against a Capitol Records claim accusing it of copyright violation. The court didn’t accept ReDigi’s view that first sale principles apply to strictly digital songs, at least as its service carries out the modern technology. While the start-up attempts to keep traders sincere by making them erase originals after a resale, the process by its digital nature still involves making a copy of the track without Capitol’s approval, according to the court. We’ll have to wait to know what charges ReDigi might pay, however there suffices legal precedent in the case that it’s skeptical others will follow in the service’s experimental footsteps.

I Can’t Play With Those!: Dress Made Of Magic Cards
Author: Margo Tipton
This is self-proclaimed ‘Destroyer of Cards’ Amy Demicco at the PAX East convention in Boston sporting the dress, helmet and axe she made from 800 cut up Magic: The Gathering cards. Now before you go off complaining about how could somebody cut up perfectly good Magic cards, stop for a second and consider what the rest of us are going to think about you after your verbal tirade. SPOILER: Less — we’re going to think less of you. And that’s saying a lot because I already think you belong in prison.

Magic Glass Spermy Sculptures Can’t Be Broken With A Hammer, But Will Explode If You Touch Their Tails
Author: Jade Kim
This is a video of Youtuber SmarterEveryDay explaining Prince Rupert’s Drops. Prince Rupert’s Drops are made by drizzling molten glass into water so it forms a little spermy — a sperm with an ultra-tough head, but with a delicate tail that will cause the whole thing to explode if nicked. I was going to try to draw a correlation between these sperm and mine, but mine only chase their tails so it was a no-go.
All the weirdness is thanks to they way the droplet cools from the outside in, building up stress that makes it super prone to explosion, in places, but SmarterEveryDay explains it best.
Listen: I love science as much as the next guy who’s always dreamed of strapping himself to a rocket and suffocating in space, but sometimes I feel like it gets in the way of just appreciating real-life magic, you know? Thank God for magnets.
Hit the jump for the video.

News-scraping service can’t copy AP stories without permission, says judge
Author: Tech Blogger
A federal district judge in New York City has ruled that a news-scraping service committed copyright infringement by reusing portions of articles from the Associated Press. The Denver Post reports that Judge Denise Cote ruled in favor of the AP in its case against Meltwater US Holdings, Inc. Meltwater offers a paid service for customers that would like to track when they’re mentioned in the press. Meltwater provided customers with the first portion of the article — which usually contains the basic facts and premise being discussed — followed by a short excerpt.

7 Reasons You Can’t Make Brooklyn In The New SimCity
Author: Markus Smith
This game allows you to build everything except a place for Lena Dunham to call home.
The new SimCity game came out today, and according to developer Maxis, it “delivers unprecedented depth of simulation.” That may be true, and during the hours BuzzFeed has spent playing the game so far, we’ve been delighted. But. It is a truly terrible Brooklyn simulator. (Disclaimer: here we take Brooklyn to mean the culture territory of Lena Dunham, Brooklyn Fare, Amy Sohn, and Yeasayer, not the indescribably diverse borough that would be the fourth-most-populous free-standing city in the United States. Ok? Ok.)
Here's why I couldn't turn the town I created, Grozny, into the borough of Kings.
The residents want to work.
Unlike the hordes of “creative” “talent” descending on Brooklyn, the Sims who come to settle your new town want jobs. In Grozny, they downright demanded them: real, 9-5 work in shops and factories. There is no sleeping till 2 and Moleskine afternoons for these folks. Just a good, honest day's work and every two weeks some “Simoleons” to spend at the bar. What Philistines.
(I am, however, planning a nearby “Parentstown” to subsidize an entirely commercial and residential Grozny.)
There are no mixed-use spaces.
Every building site in SimCity requires categorization into one of three zones: residential, commercial, or industrial. What this means: there will be no artisanal clothing stores-come-galleries-come-lofts-come-Korean taco stands. Just houses, stores, and factories, all separated, a Jane Jacobs nightmare blinking on your monitor.
