How would you change Sony NEX cameras?




You can call those Shutterbugs as the smallest APS-C DSLR cameras. Speeds up to 7fps and low light shooting up to 12800 ISO in a size that you can put into a pocket. There is lot in technology you can appreciate.
Because there is no mirror in between the lens and the sensor, Nex cameras can use almost any lens that ever manufactured. Yes People!!! It's time to climb up to your grand fathers attic and find those old lenses to use with 14 mega pixel DSLR. You don't need 8000$ Leica M8 to mount those precious Leica Lenses. With an Nex adapter these old lenses won't Auto Focus but manual focusing can be very fun with the swivel LCD of the NEX. Although Some of Sony Alpha lenses will Auto-focus with the LAEA1 Adapter.
Yes it seems like NEX is the best camera that looks like a small point & shoot but delivers like a big heavy DSLR. So what's bothering you from buying? The fact that there are Less AF lenses dedicated to 1 year old NEX system. NEX cameras doesn't have a hot-shoe for those big flashes. Still NEX doesn't have a EVF or there are less physical controls??
There are Rumors going around there will be a New NEX coming up around Juni. So what would you like to see in those new NEX cameras?? speak out in comments below.

Hybrid magnetic motor powered electric motorbike


A Japanese vehicle manufacturer unveiled the prototype of a new electric motorbike carrying a hybrid magnetic motor, which can run almost noiselessly up to 180 kilometres (112 miles) on one charge. Tokyo-based Axle Corporation says that the battery of the next-generation electric vehicle motorbike can be charged at home, in the same way as a cellular phone. It takes a little over 6 hours to fully charge the battery, and the vehicle's maximum speed is capable of reaching 150 kilometres per hour (93 miles per hour). The company says the futuristic motorbike enjoys high energy efficiency thanks to a state-of-the-art magnetic motor which is a hybrid between a electromagnet and a permanent magnet. The new motor, called SUMO, short for "super motor," is housed inside the bike's rear wheel. The manufacture says the new motor is seven-times more cost efficient than gas-powered scooters.Daisuke Ito, a professional racer who test rode the EV-X7 prototype, said it could potentially replace machines we now see in motor races. "I just feel that in the near future, we'll be seeing these kinds of electric motorbikes running all around town. And when that happens, conventional vehicles could disappear from motor racing, too, and well be competing only in electric vehicles."

Air Car - Could this be the future of transport...










After fourteen years of research and development, Guy Negre has developed an engine that could become one of the biggest technological advances of this century. Its application to Compressed Air Technology(CAT) vehicles gives them significant economical and environmental advantages. With the incorporation of bi-energy (compressed air + fuel) the CAT Vehicles have increased their driving range to close to 2000 km with zero pollution in cities and considerably reduced pollution outside urban areas. The application of the MDI engine in other areas, outside the automotive sector, opens a multitude of possibilities in nautical fields, co-generation, auxiliary engines, electric generators groups, etc. Compressed air is a new viable form of power that allows the accumulation and transport of energy. MDI is very close to initiating the production of a series of engines and vehicles. The company is financed by the sale of manufacturing licenses and patents all over the world.



Engineair Pty Ltd, based in Melbourne, Australia is a company focusing on the development of air motor technology based on a unique rotary piston concept. Different from conventional air motors, the Engineair motor, invented by Mr Angelo Di Pietro, has virtually eliminated internal wear and friction and offers superior performance at a wide variety of application requirements.

Explore your Brain with Vilayanur Ramachandran - How is it working ???





In a wide-ranging talk, Vilayanur Ramachandran explores how brain damage can reveal the connection between the internal structures of the brain and the corresponding functions of the mind. In Ted Talks He talks about phantom limb pain, synesthesia (when people hear color or smell sounds), and the Capgras delusion, when brain-damaged people believe their closest friends and family have been replaced with imposters.

Why you should listen to him:
V.S. Ramachandran is a mesmerizing speaker, able to concretely and simply describe the most complicated inner workings of the brain. His investigations into phantom limb pain, synesthesia and other brain disorders allow him to explore (and begin to answer) the most basic philosophical questions about the nature of self and human consciousness.
Ramachandran is the director of the Center for Brain and Cognition at the University of California, San Diego, and an adjunct professor at the Salk Institute. He is the author of Phantoms in the Brain, the basis for a Nova special, and A Brief Tour of Human Consciousness; his next book, due out in January 2008, is called The Man with the Phantom Twin: Adventures in the Neuroscience of the Human Brain.

Google's personalized search

Google's personalized search has left Google Labs and is now available to users on 38 Google domains in addition to Google.com.
Google's personalized search reorders search results based on your history of past searches, giving more weight to topics that interest you.
Google Personalized Search that opened last year let you create a profile used to customize your results. By selecting categories, you could tell Google you were interested in things like movies, radio and music. Then by using a slider, you could "personalize" your results to skew them toward your particular interest areas.
Google hails Personalized Search Results. In it, I explained that Google was classifying pages across the web into topics. The "personal" results were simply those skewed more toward the topics areas you were interested in, a profile you had to manually create.
In the new system, a profile is created automatically. As said, exactly how isn't explained yet by Google. But almost certainly, it's measuring what you click on and then skewing your results over time to favor sites that fall in particular topics areas seems part of it.
