Ricoh R10

Last we heard from Ricoh, they were erecting enviro-friendly billboards in New York. Now that that’s done with, Ricoh is back in the camera game with the R10. This shooter sports a 10-megapixel sensor, and 28-200 wide-angle 7.1x zoom lens, 3-inch HVGA LCD screen, CCD-shift image stabilizer, and in-camera image editing. Some of its more esoteric features include an adjustable flash intensity, electronic level to match up with horizons, and easy shooting mode for beginners. It comes in black, silver, and bronze, but US release date and price info aren’t up just yet. Look for it to run around the same as its predecessor, the Ricoh R8 — around $400.

Microsoft Sphere

If you’ve been looking for more nitty-gritty on Microsoft’s Sphere, you’ve come to the right place. An in-depth video reveals Sphere’s photo browser and video browser complete with multi-touch “pinch” resizing, object rotation, a circular menu that pops up when you place both hands on top of the sphere, omni-directional camera, and a “send-to-the-darkside” gesture that tosses an object to the sphere’s opposite side. In addition, a diagram (pictured above) reveals sphere’s innards, including a projector and all sorts of IR magic. All this, and more, in the video after the break.

Boeing laser

It’s about time Boeing went and shot that frickin’ laser. The Boeing Advanced Tactical Laser C-130H aircraft has completed its first ground test, shooting a high-energy chemical laser through a beam-control system. The gun successfully acquired a ground target and shot the darn thing on August 7, paving the way for an in-air test later this year, hopefully from that bad-ass 747 they’ve been touting. Boeing promises that the ATL will “destroy, damage or disable targets with little to no collateral damage.” Yay for surgical strikes? Maybe some popcorn?

D90 UPC

If there was any doubt that the Nikon D90 D-SLR was coming your way, and a Best Buy stock record wasn’t enough after a Circuit City inventory screen didn’t sway you, then perhaps a snapshot of the product UPC will convince you? This code showed up on UPC database last night and, well, let’s just say that it’s time to start saving your pennies for this $1300 wonder.

UPDATE: Meanwhile, a UPC for the Canon EOS-9D also popped up on the site. UPC haters can (and should) move along, but the link is here. [Thanks, Scott F]
