Our own Steve Meltzer offered his provocative take on the Leica Monochrom M last week and now here’s a video “review” of this $8K black-and-white shooting digital rangefinder. But before you take this “first YouTube review of the new Leica Monochrom” too seriously, be advised that it’s clearly meant as a joke.

The State Grid corporation of China is constructing a power line capable of transmitting a staggering 37 billion kWh per year. The record-breaking cable stretches from the power rich eastern Hami Prefecture to the energy-starved city of Zhengzhou towards the east. Costing a twitch-inducing $3.7 billion, when it’s completed in 2014, it’ll be the most capacious link in the world.

Adobe has today published new v7.1 release candidate versions of its DNG Converter application and Camera Raw plugin, hot on the heels of the just-issued v6.7 versions that shipped last week. This is the first Camera Raw release which requires Photoshop CS6 to function, and hence cannot be used with CS5 or earlier versions of Adobe’s flagship imaging app. Adobe Camera Raw 7.1 RC and DNG Converter 7.1 RC both add support for the same impressive list of 21 camera models from eight manufacturers, which were added in the V6.7 releases for CS5.

I am built like Bob Carey, a bit on the chunky side, but I do not think I have his nerve. After all, Bob put on a bright pink tutu and created a series of photos of him in all sorts of crazy settings and postures. If that wasn’t enough, now he is using these images to help fight breast cancer

We can’t be certain as to how many units of the HTC EVO 4G LTE have made it out of customs thus far, but it appears the number is high enough for Sprint to officially set a date for shipping the device out to those who pre-ordered it online. A Sprint representative reached out to us to share the company’s statement from this afternoon that customers should expect to receive their valuable treasure “on or around” May 24th. We’re not in love with the “around” terminology, but this could simply be due to a high amount of demand.

(Credit: Pentax) I have to admit: the $900 Pentax K-30 dSLR sounds like a pretty promising replacement for the K-r. Rugged on the outside with the potential for the same excellent photo quality as the K-01 mirrorless ILC, claimed faster autofocus performance than the already fast K-5, and a 100 percent coverage viewfinder that you usually only see in more expensive models all add up to a possibly great start to the Pentax-Ricoh era. Though it’s not “durable” in the same sense as bodies like the Nikon D4 or Canon EOS-1D X , with parts designed to withstand heavy photographic abuse, the K-30 offers weather-and-dust resistance, with claims of usability down to 14 degrees (most cameras only guarantee down to 32 degrees); that said, Pentax makes no claims about battery life at those temperatures.

House After eight seasons, the run of Gregory House MD comes to an end on Fox tonight with a double episode. While we’ll miss Hugh Laurie fumbling around on our American TV screens every week, it definitely felt like time for the series to come to an end. We’ll see how Wilson’s cancer diagnosis wraps up and if any other old characters stop by after Thirteen popped up last week, although we will avoid throwing back a Vicodin just for old time’s sake.

Never one to focus exclusively on the very latest hardware , a new mod has brought an 6502 microprocessor to a Minecraft world near you. The system is made from three separate cubes, representing the CPU, monitor and disk drive, respectively, all connected by ribbon cables. Part of pre-release 5 of the RedPower 2 mod, programmer Eloraam has also thrown in pumps and solar panels to keep crafters busy — you’re no longer limited to light switches
