All this because the keychain broke. I suppose I’d try the same thing if I had the means. What won’t mechanical engineers do? Good on ya, Russell. RJ3 Labs [via Enthusiast] ShareThis

Good news for those who rely on their cellphones for their photo- taking needs; Samsung has just unveiled the world’s slimmest 8MP CMOS, which measures a diminutive, 28mm × 15.3mm × 8.5mm. The semiconductor was designed specifically for cellphones, and it will push handsets beyond their current 5MP restraints. [Ed: 5MP as the limit in slimmer phones.] The new module, which is 10% more compact than current solutions, will have an ISO 1600 sensitivity, anti-shake capability, face detection technology, 1-cm macro and an automated shoot mode that is activated by silly, smiling faces.

We’re guessing the technology for the smile shutter is what we’ve seen previously in some of the Cyber-shot range. All in all, it’s great news for high end photography on your cellphone and as the advanced CMOS sensors will go into mass production in Q3/4 this year, we won’t have to wait too long either.

Remember those glass blocks you would see in homes way back in the day? That crap was pretty tacky, but you still see designers utilizing them from time to time even this day. A new design for these bricks has emerged among the winners of the recent Red Dot Design Awards that utilizes LEDs to give the impression of changing light patterns stretching into an infinite space. Not much information exists beyond that, but I’m sure you can imagine how cool a room would look decked out in these. Then again, it could be tackier than the originals—just in a 21st century kind of way. [Red Dot Awards via DVICE]
