The New York Times just gave you more reason to consider making the jump to a paid online subscription — beginning in April, that free article allowance will see a 50-percent cut, from 20 monthly articles to just 10. This modification comes one year after NYTimes.com launched its infamous content paywall , and following an announcement that the publisher has signed up 454,000 digital subscribers. Paying readers will receive a 12-week subscription that they can gift to anyone on the fence about swiping for access, and smartphone and tablet app users will continue to have access to the “Top News” sections for free.

Are those two terabytes in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? Western Digital (WD) is now giving photographers the ability to carry around (potentially) all of their digital archive in an external hard drive not much bigger than a passport. Called, appropriately, WD’s My Passport, the sleek drives offer up to 2 TB of capacity and come in five snazzy colors: white, black, silver, blue, and red

This digital-analogue mashup has been called a “Medium-Format Canon 5D Mark II” but what it really is is a new life for a very old camera. Most photographers have old cameras stuck away in a closet or a drawer.

Even those who didn’t grow up making home movies in the 1970s would probably recognize a Bolex camera with its familiar pistol grip and sleek, compact style. That classic 16mm film shooter looks like it will finally make the jump to digital if the plans of two Bolex enthusiasts come to fruition. Joe Rubinstein and Elle Schneider recently got nod from the Switzerland-based Bolex company to develop the Digital Bolex D16 , a modern camcorder with an alluring throwback design and the ability to capture high-resolution digital video

It was probably inevitable, but on Tuesday, it became official: the Encyclopaedia Britannica is finally going out of print.
Eighteen months ago, Sony launched two new cameras with a shared industry first: a translucent mirror design that allowed full-time phase detect AF during shooting and video capture. The concept has since spread to almost all of the company’s Alpha-mount lineup, and only one of those original duo continued as a current product

The company has today announced the debut of two–or depending upon how you look at it, perhaps three–new models announced last month.

As if digital photography isn’t perplexing enough, Harald Johnson has just released two versions of PhoozL IQ for iPad to complement the existing iPhone/iPod Touch versions. The larger screen is somewhat more embarrassing but the fun (and the education) makes up for it.

Hot off the heels of the One X and EVO 4G LTE spending some prolonged time at customs , now another member of HTC’s sensational family appears to be feeling the rigorous effects of the ITC.

Accuracy is generally an important consideration in computer chips, but a team of researchers led by Rice University are touting a new “inexact” chip (dubbed PCMOS) that they say could lead to as much as a fifteen-fold increase in efficiency. Their latest work, which won a best paper award at a recent ACM conference, builds on years of research in the field from the university, and is already moving far beyond the lab — some inexact hardware is being used in the “i-slate” educational tablet developed by the Rice-NTU Institute for Sustainable and Applied Infodynamics, 50,000 of which are expected to wind up in India’s Mahabubnagar school district over the next three years.

While the main thing that would make Raspberry Pi’s diminutive $25 / $35 Linux setups better would be if we could get our hands on them faster , the team behind it is already working on improvements like this prototype camera seen above.

If you found yourself longing for the minor tweaks Samsung made to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany earlier this year, you may be in luck: Apple’s filed for a preliminary injunction against the slate stateside.

We here at Engadget tend to spend a lot of way too much time poring over the latest FCC filings, be it on the net or directly on the ol’ Federal Communications Commission’s site. Since we couldn’t possibly (want to) cover all the stuff that goes down there individually, we’ve gathered up an exhaustive listing of every phone and / or tablet getting the stamp of approval over the last week.

Ready for your latest tour through the dense and meandering wording of patent applications ? Well, dig in, because it’s Microsoft’s turn to confuse lawyers the world over with this latest USPTO doc, submitted in November of 2010. The filing describes a computer-based program that would, essentially, analyze a primary device’s installed applications, cross-reference it with a different device and then either migrate that software batch or suggest similar apps to download on a secondary unit

Having spent a little time with it, we’re impressed with how much capability the engineers managed to pack into the Canon SX150 , at such an affordable price. As you’d expect given the bargain-basement ~$179 street, it’s not without its limitations, but considering what you get, it’s pretty amazing: A capable, well-built 14-megapixel digital camera with an optically stabilized 12x zoom lens and a good assortment of features

There’s been hints of it coming as early as February , but we now have a smoking gun at the FCC: the Galaxy S III is coming to T-Mobile. A Samsung SGH-T999 has popped up at the agency sporting newly added 1,700MHz AWS support that’s the telltale sign of a T-Mobile device, along with the T999 name itself (the T989 is the network’s Galaxy S II ). It also totes 850MHz and 1,900MHz WCDMA bands being used for HSPA+ data rather than just voice, a clue that the phone is ready for refarmed GSM spectrum
