I recall the old police shack in Times Square dripping with cables stretching all over the back wall, but the new shack must have finally put those all underground. [ Gallery @ Royal Pingdom ]

I will never have a need for a Veritas Dovetail Gang Saw in my life—I buy all my joints pre-cut—but I still want one all the same. It’s $212, plus shipping. [via Toolmonger ]

The most beautiful dovetail saw ever made
The Hustler Zeon is an all-electric, zero-turn riding lawnmower—they say it’s the first in the world. Hustler’s site has nearly no information, but Uncrate reports the Zeon will have up to 80 minutes of mowing time per charge. That sounds great for home use, but won’t cut it for bigger jobs unless you can cycle batteries through with an external charger. No price yet, but you can count on it costing more than your average Snapper.

Tool Guy D looks at the new Leatherman Freestyle multitool , scheduled for a May release. Inexplicably, it appears they’ve ditched the screwdriver, which might make it all thinner, but would seem to diminish the usefulness of a multitool quite a lot. The Freestyle and the Skeletool are certainly the coolest Leatherman tools out there, but it still seems the New Wave is the most multi of their multitools.

It’s not the sexiest thing you’ve ever seen, but this prototype of Nvidia’s ION nettop platform shows its colors. Bristling with USB ports, audio jacks and eSata adapters, it wants to prove that performance can come in small packages. How best to illustrate this? Nvidia goes for the only benchmark that matters: gaming! NVIDIA ION graphics processors will power a new generation of smaller, greener, fully capable PCs. Consumers utilizing ION-based PCs will be able to make full use of some of the worlds most popular applications, such as Spore, Call of Duty 4, Google Earth, Adobe Photoshop, Cyberlink PowerDVD, LEGO: Batman, and Battlefield 2. … New affordable and powerful PC hardware like ION is going to change the landscape of PC gaming, said Ben Cousins, executive producer at DICE, a division of Electronic Arts. This new mass-market target audience is a perfect match for Battlefield Heroes. Nvidia promises “10x faster graphics” on its tiny form-factor systems than “similar systems,” by which it means Pico- and Mini-ITX motherboards made by Via, and Intel’s relentlessly dismal integrated video chips. Its aim is perhaps to establish a new tier of popular gaming systems that match game console performance instead of greatly exceeding it. From a practical standpoint, this approach is more likely to facilitate a stable PC gaming market than high-end plug-in video cards that only geeks buy.

Sony’s HDR-TG5 is smaller than a Sanyo Xacti of any stripe, but offers 1080p AVCHD video, 10x optical zoom, 16GB of built-in storage and built-in GPS, so everything you shoot is geo-tagged. It costs $1,200, of course. Sony’s tiny HD camcorder geotags, for a price [CNET]
