If you read yesterday’s post about the inner workings of the CCD, you’ll know that the camera sensors store images in an analog form. The subsequent amplification and conversion to digital introduces all sorts of noise, and is one of the reasons big chips are expensive, and why sensors in general don’t usually do well in low light.

Touchscreen displays are going to get a big boost from Windows 7’s built-in support for multitouch tech — but there’s a hitch: Flicking, scrolling and opening programs can be cumbersome when stubby fingers meet Windows’ tiny icons and menu items. “PCs with touchscreens look cool, but what do you with them?” says Jennifer Colegrove, a director at Display Search.

This comes as no surprise: Apple has rejected an iPhone app submitted by SomeEcards, a website that hosts egregiously satiric e-cards. In its rejection letter, Apple said it could not accept the SomeEcards app because it “contains objectionable content and content that ridicules public figures.” What’s actually surprising is that the screenshots Apple attached with the rejection letter, pointing out which content was objectionable, were all related to poking fun at famous people, including Adolf Hitler (above). Oddly, Apple didn’t post any examples of SomeEcards’ non-celebrity-related e-cards that some could consider pretty offensive.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds… -Albert Einstein After a dismal summer spent looking for, and not finding any work, I was offered what I thought would be my dream job, but at a salary that wouldn’t cover my basic living expenses. I’ve been working as a costumer in theatre, dance, and film for the past 14 years, as well as dressmaking to supplement my income when things get slow, but the recession, and cuts to art’s funding have made it increasingly difficult to earn a living, and as I approached my 40th birthday, it had become painfully obvious that I cannot continue losing income every year. According to many well-meaning friends and family members, the problem is that I have unreasonably high expectations when it comes to choosing jobs.

This Android powered laptop from Acer has been kicking around for a long while and still we have to wait to hear what is really going to be happening inside this netbook, sure, it has Android, but it means nothing really, because this is going to be a duel boot machine.   So of course, there will be those fans of Android that will celebrate the fact that they have an Acer powered by Android, but it’s an open source powered netbook that has no price reduction, ordinarily if you chose open source then it is going to be cheaper. However, this is cunningly provided with Windows XP and so you have to pay around $350!   Source [Gizmodo] Post from: Laptop Pimp Blog – Laptop Reviews for Laptop Whores Acers Android almost here 4 – Featured Netbooks , Acer Aspire Netbooks , acer launch android netbook , android power Related posts No related posts.

The name, Bugathermo , is truly awful, but the boot itself can be forgiven, mostly because it is so practical and useful, but also because it has switches and glowing LEDs on the side. The men’s boot (soon the be joined by the equally badly named women’s Snow Hottie ) has central heating inside. Powered by lithium polymer batteries, a charge will give you four to eight hours of toasty toes, depending on which of the three heat levels you pick

I remember when the Rubik’s Cube first came out. I was in school, and pretty much the coolest thing a kid could do was to solve the devilish puzzle. I learned the secret, thanks to a couple sheets of hand-written instructions from my dad’s friend, and it was the first and only time in my school career that it was cool to be a geek
