The <a href="http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/">Miniatur Wunderland</a> attraction, nestled somewhere in Hamburg, Germany, is the largest attraction of its kind in the world. I like sharing this fact because this means <a href="http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/">Miniatur Wunderland</a> is the largest, tiny attraction in existence complete with trains, airplanes, cars, trucks, boats and so much more. Pictures simply don&#8217;t do it justice. Cars drive themselves, fire trucks respond to fires, boats sail the seas, planes take off and land. The whole thing is miraculous.
</p>

<p>
<br />Each day in the <a href="http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/">Miniatur Wunderland</a>, 900 trains with 12,000 wagons travel several hundred kilometers. There are 250 computer controlled vehicles that drive themselves around town. The Fire Brigade responds dynamically to fires that break out and the police pull over anyone disobeying the law. On top of all that, there are over 200 push-button actions that allow visitors to actively participate in the attractions.

</p>
<p>
<br />But wait, there&#8217;s more! The staff of <a href="http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/">Miniatur Wunderland</a> are currently at work building new sections covering France, Italy and parts of Africa. At this rate, they&#8217;ll have a scale model of the entire Earth within 10 years. Take a look at this amazing attraction in their official video or if you&#8217;re anywhere near Hamburg, stop in!

<p>
Instead of buying four different devices that you&#8217;re going to use everyday, designer Prashant Chandra&#8217;s Lifebook concept combines them all. It&#8217;s completely compartmentalized and usable separate, but when you put it together, you have one device that&#8217;s a lot less redundant.
</p>
<blockquote><p>
The proposed Lifebook is a laptop computer concept based on the principle of “shared hardware”. Currently a lot of hardware is wasted when we use separate devices, as there is often a lot of “repeat” of data stored and features. For example if I have my songs on my music player, why do I have to block the same amount of storage on my laptop? Similarly, if I have a processor sitting in my tablet, why can it not also run/assist my laptop? If I have a fully functional camera with its own memory and image processing power, why do I need to have it repeated in my laptop?

<a href="http://www.polaroid.com/en/sc1630#/module-1520"><img src="http://weareatomik.com/pictures/2012/01/sc1630.jpg?f49d37" alt="Polaroid and the Camera that Runs on Android" title="sc1630" width="640" height="477" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7763" />
</p>
<p>
<br />As Google&#8217;s <a href="http://www.android.com/">Android operating system</a> grows in popularity, I hear about more things &#8220;running Android&#8221; or &#8220;using the Android framework&#8221;. Being open-source, Android can be used by anyone for anything, completely free and for this reason, it can be found on so many devices. It&#8217;s on mobile phones mostly, but now I see it running on tablets and nooks and the Kindles (oh my!). Such wide use sets a standard and moves away from the idea that everything should be proprietary. At the <a href="http://www.cesweb.org/">2012 Consumer Electronics Show</a>, Polaroid <a href="http://www.polaroid.com/en/sc1630#/module-1520">unveiled a camera</a> that will change the way cameras are looked at, all made possible by the Android operating system.
</p>
<p>
<br />The <a href="http://www.polaroid.com/en/sc1630#/module-1520">Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera</a> is a camera like no other camera before it. Not because it has the most megapixels or the best digital zoom but because <a href="http://www.polaroid.com/en/sc1630#/module-1520">Polaroid</a> decided to make it more than a camera. Looking at the pictures, the <a href="http://www.polaroid.com/en/sc1630#/module-1520">SC1630</a> looks a lot like a smart phone with a big old camera attached and essentially, that&#8217;s what it is. With a 3.2 inch touch-enabled, widescreen display, most people that have used an Android phone or tablet will have no problem picking one up.
</p>
<p>
<br />Cameras have been moving toward this sort of innovation for a while now, but through the use of the Android operating system, Polaroid has exponentially increased the usability and functionality of the phone without having to do the work themselves. The SC1630 can install and run existing Android apps, including those that make taking and editing pictures easy, fun and accessible. With built-in wireless capabilities, users can take, edit, crop and share photos from the same device. Upload your favorite photos to Facebook directly from your camera just as you would with a smartphone, except with all the capabilities of a regular camera.
</p>
<p>
<br />Outside of being a step in the right direction for Polaroid, I&#8217;m confident that other camera companies will soon realize what a big deal this basic design shift is. As it stands, many people have sated their need for point and shoot cameras with smartphones, seeing how smartphones have surpassed most consumer-grade cameras while still maintaining a quality good enough for Tumblr or Facebook. A camera with the same functionality of a smartphone will begin to regain some of the market share lost to the EVOs and iPhones.

Decades ago, people dreamed of flying cars and robot housemaids, but <a href="https://www.liquipel.com/">Liquipel</a> is a product that really shows off what &#8220;the future&#8221; can be. <a href="https://www.liquipel.com/">Liquipel</a> is a &#8220;nano-coating&#8221; that aids in keeping your electronic devices safe in the event of accidental exposure to water or other liquids. It isn&#8217;t a &#8220;case&#8221; but a &#8220;treatment&#8221; applied to your phone. For just $59 and the price of shipping (which is &#8220;Grand Opening Free&#8221; right now) you can have your whole phone coated in a virtually undetectable shield.
</p>
<p>
<br /><a href="https://www.liquipel.com/in-action/"><img src="http://weareatomik.com/pictures/liquipel.jpg?f49d37" alt="Waterproof Your Electronic Devices with Liquipel" class="aligncenter"></a>
</p>
<p>
<br />This is where we delve into the harder-to-believe part. <a href="https://www.liquipel.com/">Liquipel</a> isn&#8217;t something that protects your device in case of a slight liquid exposure. There&#8217;s a demo video of the <a href="https://www.liquipel.com/">Liquipel</a> team <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln0daAowdJI">completely submerging a working, powered-on iPhone in water</a>, taking it back out again and proceeding as normal. While they suggest not actually submerging your phone just to wow your friends, it&#8217;s a very powerful demonstration of how mind-blowing <a href="https://www.liquipel.com/">Liquipel</a> really is.

They also look awesome, so I guess there’s that too.

Prepare for the Reaper invasion today and secure your pre-order gear! Shrug off enemy fire with the N7 Defender Armor and its amplified shields then drop the opposition with high caliber fire from the N7 Valkyrie Assault Rifle. When the enemy has overwhelming numbers bring the M55 Argus Assault Rifle into battle and unleash rapid-fire bursts to even the odds. If the enemy gets too close, stop them dead with the AT12 Raider Shotgun and its superior firepower.

<a href="http://sincerely.com/dotti"><img src="http://weareatomik.com/pictures/sincerelydotti.jpg?f49d37" alt="The Disposable Camera App for iPhone and Android" class="aligncenter"></a>
</p>
<p>
<br />With the amount of camera apps available today, you can do just about anything to a picture on your smartphone. You can <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/toycamera/id288895702">over-expose</a>, under-expose, <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/instagram/id389801252">add filters</a>, crop, rotate, <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/catpaint/id339462921">add cats</a> and <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fatbooth/id372268904">make people fat</a> (and really, that&#8217;s just barely scratching the surface). Smartphones can do it all <em>digitally</em>, but when it comes to physical copies of pictures, <a href="http://sincerely.com/">Sincerely Inc.</a> knows what&#8217;s up. While most camera apps afford you ways to capture and manipulate pictures, <a href="http://sincerely.com/">Sincerely</a> is more interested in turning those digital pictures into something you can touch and feel.
</p>
<p>
<br /><a href="http://sincerely.com/dotti">Dotti</a> is the latest release from <a href="http://sincerely.com/">Sincerely</a> and it transforms your supersmart futurephone into a simple, disposable camera. A very basic idea, sure, but the real magic lies in getting the photos &#8220;developed&#8221;. For just 4.99 (5.99 for orders outside the US) you&#8217;ll receive &#8220;12 beautiful 4&#215;6 inch prints&#8221; delivered directly to you, in less than a weeks time. The app acts just like a disposable camera with one important difference: you&#8217;re given the chance to review each photo before adding it to the roll you&#8217;d like developed.
</p>
<p>
<br />Now, the astute among you might note that it would be slightly cheaper to have them sent to your local one-hour printing drugstore but there are a few hitches associated. Not only will they not deliver them directly to your house, getting them from your phone to a computer to the drugstore is a hassle I&#8217;ll gladly spend a few bucks to avoid.
</p>
<p>
<br />You can download <a href="http://sincerely.com/dotti">Dotti</a> <strong>for free</strong> right now for <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dotti-disposable-camera-real/id488975345">iPhone</a> or <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sincerely.android.dotti">Android</a> and start getting your photos developed immediately.

</p>
<p>
<br />Sales and Numerous ‘Game of the Year’ Awards Underscore Worldwide Popularity
</p>
<p>
<br />December 15, 2011 (Rockville, MD) – ZeniMax® Media Inc. today announced that 10 million units of Bethesda Softworks’® <strong>The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim</strong> have been shipped for the Xbox 360® video game entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and PC, representing approximately $650 million in retail sales since its release on November 11. The PC version of <strong>Skyrim</strong> in North America outsold all other PC games by a factor of over three to one in the month of its release. Large retail reorders across all platforms and record-breaking digital sales reflect the ongoing global demand by consumers excited to explore this extraordinary fantasy epic.
</p>
<p>
<br />Bethesda Softworks’® <strong>Skyrim</strong> has already garnered over two dozen ‘Game of the Year’ awards from major outlets worldwide, including winning the top honor of Game of the Year at the 2011 Video Game Awards which are voted on by a panel of editors from the industry’s most respected magazines and websites. In addition, <strong>Skyrim</strong> has received ‘Game of the Year’ awards from numerous other game critics, which, to date include such respected media outlets as G4TV, Official Xbox Magazine and Machinima.com. <strong>Skyrim</strong> was named ‘Most -Played Game of 2011’ by Raptr, based on research data which confirms its highly popular gameplay experience.
</p>
<p>
<br />“We are gratified that <strong>Skyrim</strong> continues to garner high review scores and accolades around the world,” said Robert Altman, Chairman and CEO of ZeniMax Media. “We are most grateful to our fans for their support and enthusiasm for the game, and their love of the hundreds of hours of gameplay it offers. We continue to strive to deliver the highest quality entertainment experience for everyone. 2012 will be another huge year for our fans, with the release of the Creation Kit, as well as exciting DLC which will add to the richness of this epic adventure.&#8221;
</p>
<p>
<br />“<strong>Skyrim</strong> is the fastest selling title in Steam&#8217;s history” said Jason Holtman, Director of Business Development at Valve Corporation. “Bethesda’s commitment to and understanding of the PC as a gaming platform shows in the great review scores, spectacular launch, and continued high player numbers that <strong>Skyrim</strong> has received.  We are delighted that Bethesda chose to use Steamworks to support <strong>Skyrim</strong> both at retail and digitally.”
</p>
<p>
<br /><strong>Skyrim</strong> Is the third consecutive game developed by the team at Bethesda Game Studios® to earn ‘Game of the Year’ honors.

<br />Outside of the anything that <a href="http://weareatomik.com/2011/12/08/take-the-nord-out-of-skyrim/">happens inside Skyrim</a>, beyond the story, the quests and the loot, there is the geographic setting. Beautifully rendered caves and mountains and skies (oh, the skies) for you to prance around and kill dragons in. Sometimes you&#8217;re given the chance take in the sights and sounds but more often than not, something is trying to kill and potentially eat you.
