In recent years, there has been a growing number of people that are repulsed by the technical stalemate plaguing motorsport. Regulation versions refer mostly to horsepower limits, aerodynamic details, electronic aid systems and driver safety. It is difficult to forget the rally group B monsters that were banned in the eighties after a long [...]
Worldwide use of social networks is far from uniform. Even though the map shows statistics from a sample of countries, it is clear that MySpace and Facebook are far from leaders in most continents [Source: Le Monde via Boing Boing]
On the 1st of June photographers will peacefully protest in LA for unreasonable treatment by LAPD and LASD while taking photos in the metro and public places.
I applaud this move and I think there should be similar action in every country because there is cases of police harassing photographers for non-existent reasons in many countries [...]

Canon planning to launch a new entry DSLR below the 450D/XSi is still just a rumour. Given however how the whole thing usually develops after those rumours, and far fetched thoughts become real products, it could be a very realistic possibility.

DSLR concept. Almost impossible to make such a simplistic construction attractive for button- and grip-happy DSLR users. Although of limited practical value, a nice design exercise [Perez Prada via Gizmodo]
In part 1 of this series I concentrated on why books and publications have in general not become the target of online piracy, at least nowhere near the levels we see for music or movies.

Better dynamic range, a point where the E-510 had attracted some criticism.
Larger 2.7 inch LCD.
Face detection, a feature to please users [...]
The fact that large jumbo jets are almost exclusively designed and built by Airbus and Boeing is not a matter of simple chance. It’s a business that requires massive resources and experience. Not even Japan dares enter that arena -it prefers components or small aircraft. China however has now decided to enter the commercial jet business and to [...]
It is a question that comes up naturally, especially when the music and movie industries are in such turbulent times. In many ways, worrying about book, magazine and newspaper content online so late, is the source of a strange feeling. Thinking of all information as data, text and pictures require less data volume and [...]
Monday morning at the office? No need to dream of an escape. After work, grab your RC plane, helicopter or car, mount on it the FPV 2400 camera kit, wear the video goggles and you are ready to safely experience the pilot’s view from safety!
The FPV 2400 set offers what might take many hours to [...]
