SpyTec 2007
I'm beginning to worry that I spend too much time concerned with the technological trappings of the world around us. I think Lord Vader put it best when he admonished Imperial Admiral Motti not to be too proud of the technological terror he'd constructed—after all, the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force. Or, for that matter, the power of the Internet to slowly suck your life away, gurgling down a series of tubes. But seriously, when you close your eyes at night and just see an endless parade of dancing cell phones, multifunction printers, and digital music players, you can be sure of one thing: your dreams are going to be seriously messed up, man. So, you may ask, what do video camera glasses, a gaming projector, and a compact bag have in common? Other than all being featured in this week's edition of Gadgetbox, I have absolutely no idea.
JVC GR-D750
The final word: The GR-D750 is a solid little performer that punches well above its weight; offering impressive image quality for entry-level users. If you're on the lookout for a cheap miniDV camera, you could certainly do a lot worse than this. ON PAPER at least, the GR-D750 is the unmistakable runt of the JVC litter. With its low image resolution, rudimentary feature set and cheap looking design, we certainly weren't expecting much; yet it turns out that looks can be very deceiving. From its attractive price tag to its above average video performance, this is one of the best budget offerings we've seen in quite a while. It represents excellent value for money and is a perfect introduction to digital video - provided you can live without the bells and whistles. The GR-D750 is a standard-definition camcorder that records video to miniDV tapes.

The longevity of rechargeable digital camera batteries varies greatly, but camera battery life in general has improved over the past couple of years. Just about any digital camera with a dedicated battery or a decent set of AA rechargeables should get you through at least an average day of shooting. With dedicated lithium-ion batteries, you can consider it a rule of thumb that the smaller the cell, the shorter the life. If you buy a camera that takes AAs and doesn't come with rechargeables, you should purchase cells with the highest mAh rating you can find to get the longest life. To extend the shooting time of digital SLR cameras, manufacturers often sell compatible vertical grips that attach to the main body of the camera and hold an additional battery, as well as incorporating a second set of controls for vertically oriented shooting.

TURKEYS WHO GOT A EUROSTUFFING
Dustin The Turkey, an Irish superstar puppet, has ruffled feathers with his bid to represent his country in Belgrade this summer. But as any veteran viewer of this increasingly bizarre annual spectacle will know, being fowl by no means qualifies him as its weirdest-ever entrant.
Believe it or not, he will not even be the first stuffed bird to take to the Eurovision stage. In 1980, Le Papa Pingouin a fat Luxembourger dres-sed as a penguin starred in perhaps the most derided Eurovision performance of all time.
While Sophie and Magaly, twin blondes in jumpsuits, sang of his dream to fly like a seagull, he waddled mournfully around.

Electronics show loses pizazz
More than 140,000 people at the Consumer Electronics Show this week made Las Vegas a dusty digital Brigadoon, a town coming to life in a fit of noise, crowds and color. Yet all the apparent excitement and energy can't hide the increasingly apparent fact that against all expectations, a show that's ostensibly dedicated to all that is dazzling and new in consumer electronics has managed to become rather dull. Not the products but the show -- a victim of the consumer electronics industry's spectacular success. .
