The best gets better; the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition ($399) is 30% thinner, 20% lighter, 2X Faster and packed with the features that will help you capture your epic adventures. The new WiFi enabled unit shoots vido at a whopping 2.7kp at 30fps and 1440p at 48fps. Feel like shooting video Phantom Flex style? The Hero3 also shoots 1080 at 60fps, 960p at 100fps, and 720p at 120fps. The Black Edition is able to shoot 12MB photos at 30fps while boosting low light performance. An updated, 6-element aspherical lens improves sharpness, distortion, and provides the ability to shoot ultra wide. Better audio, underwater shooting, and a complimentary wifi remote... No wonder this little beat is already backordered by a month. Two other models are also available, the White Edition ($199) and Silver Edition ($299) along with a slew of new accessories.

Consumer grade 3D printers have been on the market for awhile now, but the Form 1 is leagues ahead of the others. What sets it apart from the competition is its ease of use and the fact that the Form 1 uses stereolithography (SL) printing technology to produce much more detailed and accurate objects.
