We have heard quite a bit about the Galaxy S, which isn't all that surprising, seeing that he has sold 3 million units in its first 55 on the market. As people from other parts of the world have gained experience that amazing is we GSII here in the States played the game. But this is so close, I almost can try cookies.

29 August Samsung finally opens GSII United States iterations in the Big Apple for T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T. If you haven't heard already, Verizon spends on GSII. Prior to this event, this image has been leaked PocketNow, which shows all three little animals, posing for the camera.

They are a bit different in design, especially the Hercules T-Mobile. If it is true that we had previously heard about Bogatyr, T-Mobile Galaxy S II will sport more 4.5 inch Super AMOLED display plus compared to the original GSII 4.3 inch screen.

Of course the T-Mobile version may not be called Bogatyr. We actually don't know that any of the carrier's name, although we are sure will have heard a lot: reach (AT&T), within (Sprint), function (Verizon) and even the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4 G touch (also Sprint?). What a nasty mouth, right?

In any case, it doesn't matter what the phone is called because this will be a hit no matter what. Just take a look at the specs: 1.2 GHz processor with dual-core, Android, gingerbread, TouchWiz 2.3.4 4.0, 8-meagapixel Chamber back (1080p video capture), 2-megapixel front facing arrows and Super AMOLED 4.3 inch 480 × 800 plus display.

Of course, things like screen size can vary from one carrier to the next (read: "Hercules"), but all in all those who should be the specification, we're looking at. There is also one small change in the United States, compared with the international version, which will be the loss of this snazzy little button home. Instead, the phones sport the same four buttons which we are accustomed to Android.

You may recall Rob Spence, known online as the Eyeborg project working for his Bionic eye. We have posted about it earlier and spoke with him some time ago, but the project has progressed to the point where even seasoned tech blogger is left speechless with amazement.

Spence has worked with a team of engineers to adapt an endoscope in the working in camera video connector. He added, waving a magnet near it at some point it will begin transmitting wireless video signal in handheld LCD. Absolutely incredible.

Watch the video from Sky News below, but warned that it's a little graphic. If you can't handle someone add or remove an artificial eye, believe that this is your warning.

Simply amazing, it is even possible. But really, it's more general developments in miniaturization, not Bionic. Endoscopic camera with wireless transmitters are now commonplace; corpus and ergonomics device would be difficult to part of this Assembly. What remains to be done with the artificial eye connection so effectively for the visual cortex, and it is still light years away from the practical — at least for the production of any component. Existing arrays of cortical microelectrode simply don't have the density is required and consequently produce something only freely definable as an image.

Timing of this new information is part of a MEDIA push for new Deus Ex game (GameStop infamy), Cybernetics and artificial figure prominently, which does not detract from the wonder stuff, in my opinion. They also produced a short documentary about prosthetics and research in this area, which is worth watching. This is a very exciting field, and the best bit is that they create things that really improve people's lives. Prosthetic eye a long way to go, but these are people with enthusiasm and dedication, as Spence and his team, to drive innovation, regardless of how far from the final product can be.

Photographer John Heller had $ 9000 worth broadcasts, stolen on a shoot in Hollywood. After abandoning all hope of ever getting his Nikon D3 back, he checked with a site called GadgetTrak, which scans Flickr and other sites loading images for photos, matching serial number his DSLR.

After a few seconds he found shots with serial numbers, matching its D3 belonging to a professional photographer. With the help of police, he returned to his outfit and now tracking service to recommend a site for LAPD detectives on the hunt for fugitive Chambers.

Want to try? You can search for services free of charge. Currently 10 million serial numbers and checks websites like 500px.com and Flickr for recent shots. Also note that you probably have to write the serial number of your camera ASAP this is working correctly.

Many of those posts, a little self serving but it's great to see that people are reunited with their gadgets so often these days (this tale of stolen laptop especially mixing) that it makes me wonder why someone trying to gank anything electronic.
