You are now entering the market of technology, the new 4 TB hard drives that Hitachi was able to introduce themselves, in this case we are not talking about a model of innovative albums, not to be smaller, but a great album capacity compared to others, but that does not mean it is faster, but we know it will help.
Speaking of the new Hitachi disk, we refer to the model HDS5C4040ALE630 3.5-inch format, with an interface with 6 Gbps SATA3 and includes four plates, are 5900 rpm rotational speed, an article that is in the appropriate parameters, more than 5,400 but less than 7,200, it is not in the extreme altitude.
By having a device of this magnitude, we know that we will not have more restrictions if storage is at the moment is the first and only of its kind and is available on the market only Nippon, so its price is $ 350 - a high price - but we believe that during the months the other companies Samsung, Seagate, Western Digital among others devoted to the item also will be giving us to know about innovation in terms of hard drive models and prices recesses.
I think this disk model is primarily intended for large companies, who handle large amounts of data with what you will take advantage of a hard drive of this magnitude, as an ordinary person does not believe that manages to pack as much data as if you want half of its capacity, of course there are exceptions.
We know there are thousands of users who are interested in this disc, despite not knowing or absence of a notice of when you reach the outside world, but we believe that in early 2012 and we will.

A car is powered by coffee and reaches a high speed record
Year and a half ago we learned the coffee car, one of those cars rarely created by a group of Britons who made some alterations to a car and could be moving, jogging, taking as fuel bags of coffee beans. The creation of this vehicle was the brainchild of Martin and his friends Beacon Teesdale Conservation Volunteers of Durham, England.
Thanks to this invention, achieved the Guinness record for speed in the speed category for vehicles that run through gasification of organic wastes.
This car achieved an average speed exceeding 107 km / h, and pulverizing the previous record of 75 km / h which belongs to the U.S. Energy Beaver that was powered by wood pellets.
With this creation, the British group wanted to demonstrate that renewable energy is very useful for driving vehicles. If they see that the car does not look like this, is because they changed the Volkswagen Scirocco for a Rover SD1. Before it was more like a DeLorean, the car who presented their pipes and containers carried inside.

Guitar with touch screen on Gentoo Linux
Michael Digital Mass invented a guitar that is the peculiar characteristic lack of ropes!, instead the guitar includes a multi-touch screen and buttons, I recommend watching the following video demonstration.
This guitar uses an AMD Geode processor and works thanks to a minimalist version of Gentoo with Kernel 2.6.31 Linux, also supports MIDI and Ethernet ports for communications.
Must be cool to play a guitar like this, right?. =)

The Big Dog Robot Evolution
Insurance remind Big Dog , otherwise I invite you first to see this video demonstration . Big Dog is a quadruped robot developed by Boston Dynamics company that is literally full of sensors in combination with artificial intelligence allow you to move on any terrain. This robot can carry a load of 150 kilos and has become popular on the Internet unconscious for several years because of its ugly appearance.
Well, if you wondered what had become of Big Dog in recent years, below is a video about the adventures of this particular robot.
I wonder why you do not have added a head after taking so long in development, help to make it look more normal. Furthermore it can be seen in the video the Big Dog is already good making the rounds with the U.S. Army. We will continue pending the final version of the robot, while insurance will remain part of your worst nightmares and more intimate.

3D movies in the air
Burton The company has created a device that looks more like science fiction than reality. This is a system for projecting images on the air without a physical screen, just exciting oxygen and nitrogen from air.
About a year ago we reported that the University of Arizona had developed the first device that allowed holographic record a scene and display it elsewhere in near real time , or whatever it is, a machine that could dimensional telepresence. Now it seems that business is getting closer to achieving a real device reproducing 3D video without the need for physical support.
3D Aerial, as they have called in Burton, is still under development, but as they say from Popular Science , have managed to create 50,000 points of light per second and a speed of between 10 and 15 frames per second. The conventional video broadcast between 24 and 30 frames per second according to the reproductive system, so that now Aerial 3 D work like the old videos that appeared slightly slowed.
As explained from the brand itself, the system is based on the plasma emission at a specific point. " controlling the position with the axis "x" "y" and "z" is getting real 3D image composed of dots in the air . "

The 'aracnocóptero' conquering the sky
After two years of work, researchers at the University of Salamanca and the company have developed Arborea 'aracnocóptero', a spider-shaped device that enables pilotless flight and is equipped with cameras and sensors for different data. The platform consists of the aircraft, a block-based communications and control consists of a very rugged tablet computer and type a command such as video games. The operation is very simple and can be used to monitor military operations or conduct digital mapping , for example. In the market there are many similar systems, called UAV (stands for unmanned aerial vehicle ), but the 'aracnocóptero' has more features advanced, allowing a vertical takeoff and carry loads of up to 3 kg, can be dismantled and transported in small bags.
It also allows an outstanding flight stability compared with other devices of this type, which vibrate too much to take precise images. The batteries, today, they hold about 40 minutes. The 'aracnocóptero', made of titanium and carbon , is very resistant, has a camera that shoots his own flight and multiple sensors: pressure to control their height, a sonar to facilitate automatic takeoffs and landings, gyroscopes, magnetometers and accelerometers to gain stability. And with GPS are given automatic flight patterns for execution and the information is displayed on the user interface. In addition, the communications protocols used to manage aracnocóptero are digital , with a theoretical range of 100 kilometers under optimal conditions.
"With digital radio waves, we have all the information in real time on the tablet, where we see the video and the position of the device on a map," says Carlos Bernabeu, founder of Arborea, a company located in the University Science Park of Salamanca. The researchers working in artificial intelligence system in order to mimic the communication model of social species such as birds or swarms of bees to establish intelligent flight patterns with groups of these devices.
For example, "if we radioactivity, and deploy multiple devices communicate with each other through this digital protocol, everyone knows where the others and act to cover areas without overlapping. If one detects radioactivity, others go for appropriate measures, "said Bernabeu. This multi-agent system mimics the gregarious animal models, since "the logic diagrams are the same."

LG is committed to the design in smartphones and voice control on TVs
LG bet on the design in smartphones and improve the performance of other devices such as televisions, which will soon include voice control, as indicated by the director of marketing for LG Spain, Pablo Vidal.
Specifically, the design will have a capital importance in the new model as the company prepares to Prada to be released in 2012. However, due to its price, which is not available to all budgets, the company considers to be "to ensure a high volume of sales."
The role of this mobile is "image building" that the company is able to offer terminals for "high level". In this exclusive terminal will add a "wide range" of devices that help LG "position in the champions of smartphones," said the manager.
As is the market, the 'smartphone' will have to differentiate something to be "beyond" the hardware , ie something to be exclusive, as the world's first ground for not buying an iPhone is that there are "too", according to Vidal.
LTE and Android
The company is also thinking about other factors such as connection speed, so LG provides differentiated by the adoption of LTE in Spain, with as many terminals support this high-speed network of new generation. Also, continue betting on Android as an ecosystem especially as it is "where the consumer is going." In this line, has considered it a "mistake to bet on a closed ecosystem."
Another key point is the creation of content, and LG will continue to work in this field. According to Vidal, "which dominates the digital environment" in the field of consumer electronics, "dominate the market." In this regard, the manager has opined that "Spain has habits somewhat less advanced" than other markets, but at the same time, growth has a "fantastic" in e-commerce.
Thus, LG work to offer content in their products and improve the user experience. This will directly affect the smart TV 'set top boxes' which bring the connection and displays the applications that are not connected. Thus, the manager has revealed that LG is enhancing command and the interface of these devices and is adding new features such as voice control.

Over 100 million Europeans have never used Internet
Almost one third of the 500 million people living in the European Union has never used the Internet and there is a wide division between northern Europe, most experienced technology issues, and the south and east, poorer, according to agency Eurostat statistics. Thus, more than half the population of Romania and just under half of those living in Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus and Portugal do not have Internet access at home.
Moreover, the figures underline the lack of opportunities for the population of the poorest communities to participate in developments like the Internet, which has provided products and services at lower cost to millions of people. Another of the most surprising results of the survey was that Spain , a modern economy within Europe, has a relatively modest rate of Internet access and electronic commerce: only 64 percent of households are connected and only 39 percent of the population buys online, according to the figures. The countries with the lowest usage rates also tend to be those with the least number of fixed broadband connections and those who make less use of electronic commerce.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play: The first Android smart phone
A few months that Sony will present his vision of PlayStation Phone now found on sale Xperia Play , "the first Android smartphone certified PlayStation.
In matters of design we are a team in the same style as Sony Ericsson has managed in line Xperia , with the clear difference in the screen include sliding a configuration similar to the control buttons Dual Shock . This design, along with the ability to play PlayStation titles true, is its main advantage over the competition that is Windows Phone 7 with its latest lineup of games for Xbox Live .
As for technical specifications we find a fairly robust computer, with all the features you expect from a good phone but certainly below other high-end phones, this is probably thinking of keeping a good quality / price ratio. Since the computer system operates on the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) we can find a variety of available applications and games developed on this platform.
In terms of titles available at launch, we have a library quite varied, ranging from games like Assassin's Creed, Worms, Sims 3 for mobile versions and adaptations of classic PS1 as Crash Bandicoot and Syphon Filter on the promise by Sony adaptations of such titles as God of War and Call of Duty in the future.
In conclusion we can say that Xperia Play comes with a solid proposal to create a mobile game and although it is still early to put aside our beloved PSP and DS portable video game about respect is clear that Sony has taken a step in the direction correct.

Nintendo Wii in 2012 U
Just recently he started the rumor of a new console from Nintendo HD , and being on the eve of E3 certainly had formed great expectations about it. Finally, in his press conference Nintendo released its new piece of hardware under the name U Wii , and although the information disclosed was very brief and we can go getting an idea of what the future family member of the big N.
For several months sales of the Wii console go into a tailspin. This is probably due to the recent launches of motion controls on other consoles ( PS Move and Kinect ), leaving us wondering if the Wii U will not be coming too late to run high-definition consoles.
Although no technical specifications of equipment offered a demo of Zelda rendered in real time and displayed at 1080p graphics power reveals a close-if not like-which have the PS3 and 360.
But what really drew attention to the U was a new Wii control, which consists of a touch screen of 6.2 "surrounded by a broad framework that we find the buttons on a traditional power like microphone, speakers, camera, sensor infrared and even a stylus .
Briefly during the conference and later she made some demonstrations of the usefulness of this new peripherals, such as the ability to view video and other content on your screen, and even the same game transmitted wirelessly from the console.
Another relevant point is the interest shown by other companies ( Third party ) to develop titles for the Wii U, among which were even games rated "M" Dark Siders 2 and Ninja Gaiden ,. However, no featured demos of any of these. Hopefully in the future to see innovative games developed by third parties for the U Wii, not the current console, where few companies tried to exploit the potential of Nintendo.
Up to now know the price and exact date of release of U Wii some point beyond 2012.

United States shows his grenades "smart"
If we talk of war and equipment, there are few countries that use technology to that end one of them is the United States, who every day are taking the battle to a more virtual. Now have presented a grenade launcher "smart".
Some time ago that this country spends millions of dollars in technology development of war, not only cyberataques but the weapons themselves.
The future that we all saw in movies with robots wars not so long ago, now the new weapon is called the XM25 grenade launcher. These latter 100% radio controlled and assisted by a laser sight.
Now the soldiers of the U.S. Army currently in Afghanistan will have a new smart weapon. The Department of Defense issued from December, the first batch launcher grenade XM25.
The XM25 fires projectiles programmable and controlled by radio , to operate in the place pointed to by the soldier, a total of 12,500 units were assigned this weapon. The gun, which took about seven years of laboratory development, it costs $ 35,000 per unit , and is targeted as a revolutionary weapon of war.
By laser is possible to indicate a point 700 meters away, and radio controlled pomegranate may be detonated before reaching the point indicated or minutes later.
For this feature, the soldier can not "wander" in their missions killing defenseless civilians, but we now know exactly where and when it will explode the projectile.
This weapon has leaked as oddly enough is based on the movie "The Fifth Element" in which the villain (Zorg) had a grenade up this style.
No doubt that this technology is more than this weapon not only on the gun itself, but throughout the firing system, which is 100% made by a computer microchip placed inside each shell.

Human Charger: convert body heat into energy
Fujitsu Laboratories developed a small device that when used on the human body converts body heat into energy. The project is still being perfected and should reach the market by 2015, many manufacturers are already interested in this technology.
This battery has a hybrid operation, as it can be powered by sunlight but in turn also thanks to the warmth.
At that time the stores this energy like a battery for later use. The device also is hybrid because it also manages to capture energy from sunlight.
This new venture may have huge profits that have not yet been tested, this is the first product that harnesses the power of warmth and sunlight at the same time.
Previously this required two separate devices and elements such as batteries.
"In the field of medicine this technology can be used in sensors that monitor conditions such as temperature, blood pressure and heart problems, without electrical connection, "the company said.
"If the ambient light and heat were not enough to power the sensor, this technology can supply power to both sources increased each other. Besides this device can be used to control for example the weather forecast."
Fujitsu is still working to perfect your project and hopes to release it in early 2015.

The iPhone 5 will have a different processor than the iPhone 3
The iPhone 4S takes only two months on the market but is already thinking about the next model of Apple. Several analysts say that Apple is planning to incorporate the iPhone 5 different processor to be the future iPad 3 and extend the screen resolution on the iPhone 4S .
So far, Apple has scrupulously followed a schedule of launching its iPhone and Apple devices. Typically, earlier this year launching a new model of 'tablet' of the company in October introduced a new iPhone.
With this strategy, Apple tends to surprise with a next generation processor for 'tablet', which is then used in the new iPhone to take your power and mobile experience.
Apple's philosophy of using the same processor at the two terminals may go down in history in 2012. Susquehanna Financial Analysts quoted by the portal Pwnagetoo, Apple will introduce two different processors next year, one for the iPad 3 and one for the iPhone 5.
The company would develop totally new processor for your smartphone ' , designed in a specific power and possibilities for a mobile phone. For now do not know the details of any of the two processors, although it has been speculated on some of its features.
All indications are that Apple will use multi-core technology for the two processors, as they are already doing some of its competitors. There is talk of quad-core processors as one possibility although no official data.
Improved screen and camera
Additionally, the display of the next iPhone could reach 4.2 inches, surpassing the 3.5 markedly iPhone 4S. Apple expanded the size, possibly reducing the frames of the phone. In this way, the iPhone 5 could have a similar size to the iPhone 4S.
Another rumor suggests that the screen, while increasing, have more resolution. The latest model in the market, the iPhone 4S, with a resolution of 960 by 640 pixels per inch to 326 . According to the German portal Macerkopf, Apple increase the screen resolution on the iPhone 5 to 1440 by 800 pixels.
The camera aspect that Apple has placed special emphasis on 4S also iPhone could be renewed. In this sense, the new iPhone 5 increase from 8 to 12 megapixel potential.

Microsoft will remove Windows applications remotely with 8
Under the terms of service of the App Store Windows 8 , Microsoft may remove applications remotely from any device at any time for any reason. Google and Apple can also 'delete' purchased applications in the Android Market or App Store .
The Redmond company recently announced its application store for Windows 8 and is now trying to attract developers to it. He also published its terms of service, among which includes this option.
"We may change or discontinue certain apps or content offered on the Windows Store at any time for any reason," says Microsoft.
Sometimes, they say, this will happen to "respond to legal or contractual requirements," while in other cases it will prevent users from accessing applications if their safety is at risk.
However, the company could repay the amount paid by the application if the elimination of a device with Windows 8 Beta (currently only available version of the operating system developer).
However, the data stored by an application could be lost forever . "If the Windows Store, an app or any content is changed or discontinued, your data could be removed or might not be able to recover data you had stored," says Microsoft. Also, remember that under no obligation to return the data.
Apple confirmed long ago that can carry out these measures (although, for now, have not done), while Google has had to do more than one occasion.

Mark Zuckerberg is suffering from the mistakes of Facebook privacy
Many Facebook users have complained of the judgments is social network security and privacy compromised by them. Now he has been its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, who has been affected by one of those mistakes that made possible the publication of several of the pictures I had in your profile.
Some of them you can see the millionaire with his girlfriend Priscilla Chan while playing with his dog, are prepared in a restaurant or sushi. The founder of Facebook, which has ensured that only eat meat from animals he has killed , appears in other holding a chicken by the legs.
Snapshots have spread like wildfire on the Internet since they were posted on Imgur by a software engineer named Mike Rundle, who claims to have seen the pictures linked on Hacker News forum, according collects Daily Mail . A Facebook spokesman has confirmed, in statements compiled by Forbes to be temporarily fixed the "bug that allowed anyone to view an unlimited number of photos uploaded by other more recent users, regardless of the privacy settings of these pictures." In another instant Zuckerberg can see the U.S. president, Barack Obama, or handing out candy on Halloween.
The debate about privacy on Facebook was revived last September when the social network introduced the new bar of instant information, making the wall again to be public, but before the user had configured only for your contacts. At the end of November was the very Zuckerber on his blog that Facebook acknowledged he had made "a lot of mistakes" when it comes to user privacy. Zuckerberg's words came after privacy agreement signed between U.S. authorities and Facebook, social network which is committed to seek the express consent of its members before their data is shared beyond what is expected under the terms of use and confidentiality.
The movements of the Palo Alto company run counter to the words of its founder in January 2010. Zuckberg said in an interview with Michael Arrington, founder of TechCrunch, that "the era of privacy was dead" and that if re-create the social network user data would be fully public.

The Kepler space telescope is a planet could have liquid water
The Kepler space observatory found in the planetary system Kepler-22, 600 light years, the first planet located in the "habitable zone" , an area in which, by its distance from its sun, may be liquid water, as announced NASA on Monday at a news conference.
Scientists at the Ames Research Center of NASA also announced that Kepler has identified 1,000 new "candidate" to planet , ten of which are similar in size to Earth and orbiting in the habitable zone of its star's solar system, that is, neither too close nor too far from a star. The planet, Kepler-22b, is the smallest found by spacecraft orbiting in the "habitable zone"-the one where temperatures allow life - like a star the Earth. 55 planets are even larger than Jupiter, the largest in our solar system is larger than the Earth and still has not been determined whether it is rocky, gaseous or liquid , but said the deputy science team Ames Center, Natalie Batalha, "we are getting closer to finding a planet like Earth . " The Kepler had previously hinted at the existence of planets about the size of ours orbiting in "habitable zones" but this is the first time it finds. Scientists also updated the number of candidates for planets that since it began compiling the list in 2009 has increased to 2326. Of these, 207 are about the size of Earth and 680 are larger and are called "super-Earths".
Of the remainder, 1,181 are the size of Neptune, 203 are equivalent to the size of Jupiter and 55 are even larger than this planet, the largest in our solar system. Launched in March 2009, the Kepler mission is to collect data and evidence of planets orbiting around stars with average temperature conditions where liquid water can exist and therefore, life. Kepler detects planets and planet candidates by measuring dips in the brightness of more than 150,000 stars they observe to see whether they pass in front of their stars, a movement known as transit. But that's not enough and to verify signal of a planet is necessary for the observatory captures three transits to start the process to determine whether or not a possible planet.

Robot Heineken beer
Some time ago we talked about the robot R2beer2 partying cousin of R2D2. Today, after the hangover of the weekend comes its evolution that is now fully functional, the Robot Heineken . In this case there is a prototype but a real robot you can buy for about 2,500 €.
Its origin is curious because the Heineken robot was developed as a piece of art for Autonomous Systems Labdel Department of Product Design and Engineering of ...Middlesex University Kinetica Art Fair for London in February 2010. The robot was a success and is now a commercial product. Its consumption is a barrel of Heineken 5-liter and is powered by a pair of 12-volt motors, a servomotor plus some infrared and ultrasonic sensors. They say that also serves beer almost perfect, but that, if not I do not think so.

So are the screens of the future
Samsung has presented to users through a video which can be a new generation of displays, the so-called flexible displays. They would operate like any other screen of a smartphone or tablet , but with the difference that there is no case to support it and the ability to bend. It is a concept that can make the future of the screens.
In fact, the screen would work like a smartphone or tablet , but has the same thickness as a sheet of paper. With this new AMOLED Flexible screen users could make video calls, read newspapers or enjoy images in three dimensions while can see what happens in the real world looking through it.
Despite the ongoing dispute with Apple, Samsung remains as to patents in courts around the world, South Korea continues to surprise users with the new Samsung Flexible AMOLED screen and shows that continues to promote research into new technologies.
Moreover, Samsung Electronics shares rose more than 2% on Monday after a judge rejected the request for Apple to ban the sale of Galaxy in the U.S., easing concerns about a business that generates quarterly revenue 9.669 million euros (13,000 million).

Free Air Tire, wheel airless Bridgestone anti puncture
The Tokyo Motor Show , also brought us the car scooter - the realization of the puncture-proof tire ever since it has no air inside . Bridgestone has manufactured a new type of recyclable thermoplastic wheel surrounded by a band of rubber and resin without any air or gas inside the Air Throw Free . Only a curved mesh radios ... interlocking plastic with an angle of 45 ° form the structure of the wheel and support the weight of the vehicle. Each holds a load of 150 kg so the first uses will be small electric vehicles and cars gradually come to use.
Thanks to this structure without air punctured the tire is not nailed never though glass, nails or any other element. Another interesting feature of these wheels is also deformed in the turns (recovering its normal structure) to improve the grip but without changing the fault trazada.Las of these wheels is that they offer a lower suspension and increased consumption due to its grip on asphalt, but this new model has minimized these effects.

Anyone can register domains and pornographic. Xxx
The. Xxx is designed to accommodate, in a clear and limited , the pornography industry. The idea is that just the families and educational institutions and public can more effectively use filters to prevent access of minors or the public is not interested in those sites.
The registration of. Xxx, created to designate Internet web pages or sexual pornographic content , which started last September and has exceeded 100,000 and the number is expected to double by year end , Efe said Stuart Lawley, the CEO of the promoter of triple x domain, ICM Registry.
When in September of this year began the first phase of registration, ICM Registry said it expected more than 650,000 websites were operational before the end of the year and estimated that only 10% of requests come from companies that seek to prevent they relate to adult content.
It begins the third stage in the registration process
The first step to protect the marks of this domain and to register other in order to develop adult content took place from September 7 to October 28 this year. Once completed, any company may request the blocking of its brand name and therefore would be available to the general public. The next phase, from 8 to November 25 is destinóa professionals unregistered adult entertainment and the last to be opened this December 6 , allows access to any applicant.
That is, from Tuesday any individual who wishes may register one of these domains , but may only exploit those who prove to belong to the pornography industry.
"The triple x porno located good" , he pointed out the company spokesman Immaculate Hostalia domain registrar Castellanos, who believes that the mere fact of being located in this domain (which will cost approximately between 100 and 150 euros) is a statement of good practice Consumers facing this kind of material.

Portable projectors, videos and presentations without screens
Until recently, the easiest way to share videos or photos with friends was called at home and watch them on TV. Now, thanks to portable projectors is simpler, it does not even need a television to view the contents to be presented. What is the difference from each other?
Portable projectors are simple and useful in different situations. A professional for presentations and display documents on a personal level to meeting friends. The differences between them often lies in the power of the equipment (measured in lumens) as well as its size and weight. For example, 3M, one of the brands that have chosen this type of equipment, has a small range of projectors that differ in weight, size and functionality. From the 154 grams of MPro120 and 12 lumens of brightness to the fullest MP180, of 338 grams and with WiFi, Bluetooth, projection capability disparate formats, and so on. Philips also has decided to launch a range of projectors with different capabilities, from simple to the most complete PPX1020 PPX1430.
Anyway, this type of micro projectors are called to be among the big winners this holiday season, for its great flexibility.

Batteries of gelatin, the successors of lithium
A new technology based on a polymer gel could replace the current batteries lithium ion . These gel batteries solve some problems of lithium, as its high cost, easy to overheat to the point of being able to exploit limited shelf life.
The invention has been developed by scientists at the University of Leeds, England, who expect their ingenuity led to the creation of electronic devices smaller, more efficient and safe . Currently, much of laptops, mobile phones and many other electrical devices use batteries based on a volatile and sometimes dangerous electrolyte: lithium. The scientists aim was to overcome the problems and limitations of this material and its quest have had their batteries gelatin doing the same work for a price between 10 and 20 percent lower than that of lithium.
This technology, developed primarily by Professor Ian Ward, is based on the mixture of a polymer rubbery with a liquid electrolyte in a thin, flexible gel that is placed between the electrodes of the battery. "The polymer gel resembles a solid film, but actually contains 70% liquid electrolyte , "says Professor Ward. "It's done with the same principles on which it becomes a jelly: it adds a lot of hot water to gelatin (in this case is a mixture of polymer and electrolyte) and when it cools and settles into a solid mass, but flexible ". In addition to being safe and damage tolerant , the cells obtained are adaptable to fit almost any device geometry, which makes them much more versatile.

This is the least risky bet. While the Japanese market cameras without mirrors are all the rage and now represent over 30 percent of the total market in Europe and the U.S. seem to need a boost. In fact the only American country account for 10 percent of total sales of cameras with interchangeable lens models.
As well its name implies, the difference between the classic DSLR and current micro four thirds is the lack of the latter a system of mirrors. This difference is in many ways: from the minimalism of the design, reducing its size to weight reduction. And all thanks to improved technology using sensors that are becoming more developed and better capture the images.
Both new models feature a 10.1 megapixel sensor CMOS also record video. In addition, video cameras to allow slow-motion mode and reaches 10 frames per second burst shooting mode.
As explained in Nikon cameras will be sold starting in October and will cost around 900 euros, although the final price will depend on each country.

PlayStation 4 will arrive on time
The head of PlayStation Europe, Jim Ryan , explained that Sony will not let the same thing happen that happened with PS3 in the next generation of consoles.

The console Nintendo Wii U is expected in April 2012, while the new Xbox from Microsoft may be submitted at the next E3 2012, with its launch could occur late this year or early-mid 2013.
To avoid what happened with PlayStation 3-which came to market a year later than Xbox 360, directly rival Sony PlayStation 4 launching arises at about the same time as the new consoles from Microsoft and Nintendo.
According to an interview with Eurogamer TV last week, during the presentation of PS Vita in London PlaySation leader said Europe would not be a good strategy to arrive later than rivals. "We consider it desirable to launch the next generation of PlayStation significantly later than the competition," says Ray.
Further work on PS3
Given the scenario that will come in 2012 along with the current economic situation of the company, everything indicates that PS4 could hit the market soon. But Ray also said that currently there is still much work with the current generation of PlayStation, PS3, since most sales of their consoles are produced with lower prices the same as happened with PS2.
"If you look at PlayStation 2, there are over 150 million units sold worldwide and a large majority were acquired at a price of 139 euros or less. With PS3 we have just lowered the price to 240 euros, so clearly there is considerable untapped market, "says Ray.
So far, the most anticipated release for users is that of the last console Sony laptop, PS Vita. This console hit the market in Japan December 17 and February 22, 2012 in Europe. In the European case, on 30 November and could be reserved two exclusive packs PS Vita. Users will have to pay 30 euros a sign that the final price will be discounted and may get the console with official products and discounts for online gaming.
