Nophoto the system to avoid traffic cameras

The cameras that control the police and traffic police are permanently active, which means that at all times we are being watched.  Traffic cameras may be annoying to some, and for that reason has been invented Nophoto, a system that prevents the cameras make a decision in enrollment in our car.
The system has a microprocessor and a sensor which detects the traffic cameras. When one of these tries to take a picture of the license / registration of our vehicle, the device automatically emits a light that makes the numbers and letters of the license plate are indistinguishable. Dandrow Jonathan is who has created this system, and we are confident that because it has been the victim of traffic cameras often.
Dandrow says that the use of this system is totally legal (at least in the U.S.) and that at no time the car registration is covered.
For now, they are raising money for mass production of Nophoto and is expected to be released to the public for $ 350.

The poor sales of Nintendo

As announced yesterday, Nintendo sales between July and September were not expected, and in fact were below what the company expected. Not only selling the 3DS console is down, but even the popular Wii, as announced to have sold 10.5 million units by year's end, only reached 5 million.
As we said, the 3DS sales have also fallen and now Nintendo estimates that will not reach the sales that had planned. While in August and September sales were good, mainly thanks to the launch of the 3DS XL and some catchy titles, sales fell again in October. Still, it is noteworthy that the total sales of the 3DS in 2012 will exceed those that were last year.
Moreover, this is not an issue that only affects Nintendo, but the industry videogames in general. Many do not know why that is, but it seems pretty clear that the device market mobile is having something to do, because every time out best tablets and smartphones capable of running better games.
For now, the eyes of many focus on the new Nintendo Wii U to be released in November .

Windows 7 does not have Service Pack 2

This clears our doubts: Microsoft has placed all its bets on Windows 8, which incidentally will be officially launched tomorrow. Such is the confidence of the company in its new software that has decided not to release a Service Pack 2 for Windows 7. Many have said that while W7 needs a new SP, and while that is somewhat true, it is very rare that the latest service pack is released for the OS is the one, as in this case.
Recall that Microsoft took 3 years to release Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, and this month marks three years since the release of W7, so it's rare that a new service pack is not on track.
Service packs are very useful as they are great updates containing several improvements to the level of safety and performance. For Microsoft, throw these SP takes time and money, and perhaps this is the reason why W7 users will have to make do with SP 1.

Many iPad users are not happy with the iPad 4

As I commented, the iPad 4 was launched last Tuesday. It seems that a lot of users of previous models of tablet Apple are not happy with the fourth-generation iPad and that certainly was filed only seven months after the release of the iPad 3.
A study of Toluna QuickSurveys which interviewed more than 2,000 iPad users, revealed that approximately 45% of these were not happy with the new tablet from Apple mainly due to the rapid release that has had the device, leaving the iPad 3 practically obsolete.
Besides this, the fourth of the respondents believe that the reputation of Apple has dropped a bit after the company removed Google Maps from iOS 6 and replaced by his failed mapping application.
But not everything was bad for Apple, since about half of the respondents said they will buy or maybe buy the new iPad Mini.

The iPad Mini could have availability problems

As we told you yesterday, last Tuesday Apple announced the new iPad Mini with 7.9-inch screen. The initial price of the device was found to be $ 330, considerably more expensive than the Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD both cost only $ 200.
Surely Apple expects the price of its new tablet, which is cheap compared to that of a large iPad, assuring an increase in number of sales and also a device believed to be in high demand by consumers. That may be so, but surely there will be setbacks along the way, and we almost have one on our doorstep.
Production of the iPad Mini has been divided between Foxconn and Pegatron. LG Display will provide screens to Foxconn who, while AUO is the supplier to Pegatron. Unfortunately, AUO is having production problems.
In September, could only send 100,000 AUO screens Pegatron, which obviously affects the amount of iPad Mini that can be manufactured. Is expected to be sent to 400,000 screens in October and twice in November. In addition, LG Display was sending 300,000 Foxconn screens in September, hopes to reach 1 million in October and 2.5 million in November.
If AUO fails to produce enough of the screens, it is likely that the iPad Mini has availability problems. In this case, we say that Apple might choose to work with Samsung, but because of the tensions between the companies this may not seem like a good idea.

RAY Project Qualcomm and have a great phone for the blind

Sometimes the technology is more than an improvement in the processor or the amount of memory. Sometimes technology focuses more on the user than the phone itself. Qualcomm and RAY Project, through the Wireless Reach initiative, presented a new mobile phone that can be used by people with little or no vision. It is a mobile which always stays on (unless the battery is exhausted), it is very easy to use, multi-function and content available as audiobooks.
Today, the majority of blind people use simple mobile 2G only for calls. Besides this, many other readers need devices like audio-books, readers of colors, navigation tools, scanners, large buttons and several other similar things that can sometimes be very expensive. Apparently, the RAY mobile terminal is based on a Qualcomm originally ran Android, and the device has been turned into a smartphone that can perform the functions of several of the aforementioned devices, besides that its price would not be high and the user interface would be designed specifically for use by blind or visually impaired.
For now the phone is being tested by 100 people in Israel. The truth is great that companies carry out this type of project, and is even better when it manages to be successful.
