Nuclear fusion , like flying cars, is one of those transparent, dangling carrots that’ve been stymying the scientific community and tickling our collective noses for decades. But recent research out of the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory might help us inch a few baby steps closer to that Jetsonian future.

That sharp sucking of air you heard at the end of 2010, well, that was the record industry wincing as sales of CDs continued to tumble while digital media sales remained flat . The relieved exhale that you just heard echoing through the atmosphere? That was the collective sigh of executives who just picked up the latest Nielsen report indicating that digital music sales are on the rise again and, for the first time ever, have finally surpassed physical media

In an interview at National Geographic’s Adventure blog, director Tim Kemple of Camp 4 Collective — an outdoor video and film production company — describes using iPhone 4S to shoot a hi-def music video at the Great Salt Lake as an experiment in remote location capture. Kemple reports getting excellent video from iPhone 4S, noting that “because it’s always with you means you end up using it when you’d least expect.” The interview includes tips for stabilizing shots, optimizing for iOS 5 features, using helpful apps in extreme environments, and shooting in low light.

So, so many tablets this week at IFA. Archos’s pair of Honeycomb slates may not have garnered the same sort of excitement as, say yesterday’s Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 or Toshiba AT200 , but there are a lot of interesting things going on with the 80 G9 and 101 G9 . From an aesthetic standpoint, these are pretty nice looking devices (the 80 and 101 look largely the same, save for the difference in footprint and screen size), though they’re not quite on-par with the two aforementioned tablets, in terms of build

If the Nexus S 4G wasn’t enough to get you excited, Sprint and Google have one more trick up their collective sleeves this morning: an unprecedented new level of integration with Google Voice . Basically, you’ll be able to use your existing Sprint number in Google Voice, but through some custom-brewed sorcery and magicks, you won’t have to port it to Google Voice — your number, and your account, still belong to Sprint so that you won’t get an ugly early termination fee.
