You asked for it, you got it. Some sweet, sweet pics of the wild new 6 megapixel Casio prototype. You know the one — 60fps bursting at full resolution or 300fps VGA video? Believe it or not, the camera is surprisingly light, will use SDHC storage (which won’t last long at these resolutions), and is expected to ship sometime in 2008. Hey, that’s what they told us. Peep the gallery for all the hotness.

Gallery: Hands-on with Casio’s 60fps digital camera

Just months after scientists were able to run a quantum computer simulation on an everyday PC, we’re now hearing that a Calvin College student / professor tandem have created an inexpensive, portable supercomputer for crunching massive chunks of data on the go (and on the cheap). Dubbed Microwulf, the wee beast is hailed as a “machine that is among the smallest and least expensive supercomputers on the planet,” and when not being checked as baggage on a flight, can reportedly process 26.25 gigaflops of data per second. The system itself touts “four dual-core motherboards connected by an eight-port gigabit Ethernet switch,” and when initially constructed, it cost just $2,470 to build. Talk about a solid price-to-performance ratio.
