Photo by Phoblographer
It looks like Nikon is gearing up to announce the release date for their newest camera, the Nikon D4s. The date for the announcement will be February 25th, which comes on the heels of recent sightings of the D4s at both CES 2014 and the Sochi Olympics. The new flagship camera will be priced at $5,996.95 and will offer new features not seen in the previous Nikon D4 model, such as HD movie recording at 60FPS/1080p and a new focus mode for 3D tracking (you can see the rest of the rumored specs here). It will be interesting to see what this new Nikon will have built inside of it, but right now, it's all just rumors. My guess is Nikon will deliver the goods, since this will be its next flagship camera, so I would assume the camera will be built with quality.

Earphones Just Got A Little Smarter With The Dash Smart Earphones
With all the smartphones and smartwatches out on the market, it was only a matter of time that we'd see a new product out. This time, though, the company Bragi has taken a different route and developed the Dash Smart Earphones. As the word "smart" suggests, these are not your standard run of the mill earphones that only offers sound; no, they offer so much more. The technology inside these small wireless earphones act not only as headphones, but an MP3 player, microphone, USB Stick, and fitness tracker all in one single bluetooth device. Through bluetooth, you are able to connect to your smartphone easily and listen to your music without the use of cords, and it also has 4GB of flash storage so you can upload songs to it directly in case you leave your phone at home. Another cool feature is the ability of being able to monitor your work outs with the Dash keeping track steps, oxygen saturation, heart rate and more. Also the built microphone can either cancel out sound when you need quite time as well as offering a way to hear whats going around like when your riding your bike on bust streets. As of right now, there are still being developed but you can head over to their website to learn more about the Dash Smart Earphones here and back their KickStarter campaign here.

There are a huge amount of DJ apps available on the market, but the new Pacemaker app offers something different that others don't.

Mark One's New Carbon Fiber 3D Printer
I've always been curious about what it would be like to own a 3D printer and all the possibilities one could make with such a machine. With that being said, Mark One has introduced a printer that is said to be the first to print composite materials. Instead of simply printing parts made up entirely of plastic, this machine gives you stronger material options such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, nylon, and PLA. The machine looks like it's built with quality in mind, and its price point seems to reflect that, coming in at $4,999 (which you can pre order here). If you need to print up things for the office or home, you might want to check out Mark One's new carbon fiber 3D printer, because sometimes plastic stuff doesn't cut it.
