The new mini spy drones army shaped miniature helicopter

 

New technologies are leading to a point where increasingly harder to differentiate fact from fiction. If you look at the picture below you can see how a soldier held in his hand a small drone drone, from there you ask yourself is the scene of a movie or something real? The answer is that it's a British soldier using the latest technology in recognition systems: you are in battle and your staff drone enters enemy lines to take a look and send various information and even videos of the area.
The mini-drone is officially called 'Black Hornet', is made by a Norwegian company called Prox Dynamics, measures only 10 cm high, has 16 grams of weight and she looks like a mini-helicopter toy, ie You can easily carry it for use in the time when you need it and send in a reconnaissance mission without the enemy knows she is being watched.
Despite its small size it has inside of a number of mini-gadgets designed to spy on the enemy without realizing it, and positioning system that lets you know its location and place to be targeted include a camera that can take pictures and videos and send them in real time.
Currently has already been successfully tested in Afghanistan by the British army was the first to incorporate it as a monitoring system in practice.
The advantage over larger drones known is that it requires a large infrastructure to run or several operators who are responsible for their operation and maintenance. A single person can use to perform tasks of espionage, reconnaissance, exploration, patrol, etc..
The most pessimistic (or realistic) view it as a step towards an Orwellian world, maybe one day you see more of these mini-drones flying over the streets of your city, identifying possible crimes, chasing exceeding road speed or leaning out your window 'to see what you do'.

Bryce Bayer dies at age 83

Bad news . The world of technology has lost one of its pioneers a few days ago: Bryce Bayer, best known as the father of digital photography.'s the man to whom we owe much of what we currently know about digital images. Maybe your name will sound familiar, and not be to a drug company, but due to Bayer filter, which even today is used in virtually all cameras produced digital, not to mention it was patented in 1976 and is used since. This filter is used to recreate a color image from a grayscale captured, and before it was invented, this process was highly complex.

 

In the 1990s, Bayer put aside his old company, Kodak, and continued with his life until recently. Undoubtedly it will be remembered, as if you can place your name (or name) to something that is used even more than 30 years after it was invented, it's because you've accomplished something that many have never been.

The iPhone 5 that takes panoramic photos in one shot

 

The launch of the iPhone 5 has been controversial, as every time Apple launches a new product or update. Many say it's great, others say it's just an improvement that adds nothing new compared to previous models and others say it is as bad as the previous ones and also has bugs everywhere (Apple Maps).

The thing could have been better or worse and there who satirizes the issue by proposing a version of iPhone 800% longer maintaining the same thickness and width. Obviously, this is only a video lampooning the Apple product but I recommend you, whether you're a fan of Apple as if you're anti-fan, do not miss it. The video is in English, but do not understand the language but the fact is that quite clearly shows its characteristics. A little humor for Saturday.

Google Patents gloves similar to those used Take Cruise in Minority Report

 

In a few years they will sell gloves with sensors in the fingertips, like what Tom Cruise used in Minority Report.

Increasingly we approach our homes to the technology we see in movies, but I think we have much to transport us as do Star Trek. At least now we will be able to use the technology that uses gloves Tom Cruise in Minority Report.
Well, not the exact same but very similar as these gloves possess a processor powerful enough to recognize objects, compare images, and send orders. But we must not get so excited because these gloves are not as advanced technology so it will need another device to interact with them. These gloves with cameras and motion sensors were patented last year but only approved the request last week.
The sensors are going to be able to find in the fingertips and allow us to record the hand movements and translate into orders for the device. "Like human nature," they say in the patent. At least for the first version of the gloves, we'll need another device to interact with them but hopefully for the version 2 can be used alone. In addition, the sensors capture the lateral movement, the zoom and move back to the different screens .
Google obviously we are presenting devices interesting as not to forget what Project Glass lenses, augmented reality glasses were presented in early July at the developer conference Google I / O. With these glasses you can record and send images to other devices, and to see them through their own lenses. It's still a bit early to talk about prices but if you know that your marketing will begin in 2014.

It will have a small screen of 3.5 inches and reach a resolution fairly low compared to other phones in the family, only 320 x 480 pixels. But anyway is one of the bets for low-end sectors, with a design similar to that of the family Sony Xperia but without fanfare of any kind.
One advantage is that Android 4.0 will come directly Sandiwch Ice Cream Factory, as one of the latest mobile phones Xperia presented. The camera will also be moderate, the sensor is 5 megapixels. Its price, which is expected below 300 euros, is perhaps the most important point of the proposal. A low mid-range phone, designed for young audiences and a design in four different colors to have a different degree of customization.

Product Reviews

The Sony Xperia watch phone is a compact, small, with reduced benefits, but very convenient for those who want 24 hour connectivity and next generation mobile discounts.

Its screen is 3.5 inches and just reached a resolution of 329 x 480 pixels. It is a capacitive multi-touch screen phone, running Android 4.0 operating system Ice Cream Sandwich and has a RAM of 512 MB ​​accompanied by a Qualcomm 800 MHz processor
Nothing overwhelming power, but rather a modest and practical capacity, enough to run games and applications but without the speed of the most powerful phones Xperia family.

Positives

 

The most interesting feature of the Sony Xperia look at is the level of connections. Both 3G and WiFi as the most important moment, but also has a good camera sensor with 5 megapixels and the ability to record video at 30 frames per second.
As for support for microSD cards, add more of space to store videos, songs and other files. The performance of the Sony Xperia look is right, not out, but it is bumpy at any time. Fulfilling tasks for video playback at any time and without complications.

Negatives

 

Unlike other phones Sony Xperia family, the look does not use the BRAVIA TV screens Sony. A shame because they achieve excellent colors and a resolution of luxury, but has been omitted from this phone tighter. Also the screen, only 3.5 inches, it may seem a bit small for a smartphone.

Conclusion

The attempt to Sony Xperia look very interesting. Without the need for a large phone, users may need a smartphone connected at all times, and there lies the positive part of this design.

  

The look is a compact phone but can be connected all the time through 3G and WiFi, and also has Bluetooth and DLNA technology. In short, a mobile in terms of connectivity does not have anything to envy to other larger devices.
In turn, the Sony Xperia has limited capabilities but look accurate to record video and take pictures. And all for a price that is expected below 300 euros. In short, a great way to access different functions of a next-generation smartphone, but with reduced size and limitations designed to obtain a better price.
To this we add four different colors and look at the Sony Xperia is postulated as an option in a market relatively personalized widening of mobile phones with the Android OS.
