The camera revolution is near

The traditional digital camera scene is changing with the appearance of a few potentially landmark products

1. Canon G11 (less megapixels than its predecessor)
   
2. Panasonic GH1 (DSLR/camcorder hybrid with continuous autofocus & stereo mic)
   
3. Nikon S1000pj (in-built projector)
4. Fujifilm W1 (3D camera)
5. Olympus E-P1 (micro Four-Thirds in a compact camera)
   

These are interesting times for cameras and camcorders...

Drivers Republic (DR)

A Message to our readers
Another one bites the dust. DR isn't the first web magazine that I've seen disappear, and I suspect it won't be the last. I will miss their innovative magazine layouts, with embedded video clips within their online magazine. The long-term reports on 2nd hand cars that were legends during their day were great too, as were the regular tweets from their recent race at Nurburgring.

Tech Support Cheat Sheet Reveals the Secrets of Troubleshooting

Above and Beyond presents Oceanlab - I Am What I Am (Lange Remix)

I know you've read, so many books
You keep abreast of all the things you think you should
You've got your own home-grown philosophy
And it works for you
But please don't try to make it work for me

You have nothing to prove
But you're trying much too hard
Stop trying to change me (Stop trying to change me…)
I am what I am (I am what I am…)
I don't need you to save me (I don't need you to save me…)
I am what I am (I am what I am…)

I don't want you to show me (I don't need you to show me…)
Because I stand where I stand (I stand where I stand…)
I just need you to know me (just need you to know me)
Just know who I am (Just know who I am…)

Just know who I am...
Just know who I am...

I know you feel
You need to prove
That you are good at something
Everything you try to do
And people hang on your every word
That you deliver
With conviction
Though they may just be absurd

Leave your armour behind
Free your vulnerable mind

Stop trying to change me (Stop trying to change me…)
I am what I am (I am what I am…)
No I don't need you to save me (I don't need you to save me…)
I am what I am (I am what I am…)
I don't want you to show me (I don't need you to show me…)
Because I stand where I stand (I stand where I stand…)
I just need you to know me (just need you to know me)
Just know who I am (Just know who I am…)

Just know who I am...
Just know who I am...

Fifth Gear Web TV

FiveFWD
Now that both Top Gear & Fifth Gear are taking a break, suddenly there's a void in my weekly web TV schedule. EPL is back though, and both MotoGP and Formula 1 are finishing their summer break soon. Anyway, Fifth Gear is going to continue with their Web TV while their main show is on hiatus. Its short, and should be formatted as a vodcast, but it's still a good filler to catch up on all things motoring.

Microsoft Office on Nokia handphones?

NYT
Actually, I rather like the QuickOffice on my E71. Recently there was also a free update that allowed Office 2007 files to be opened. A change to Microsoft may not be that great after all.

Opera Mini vs UCWEB6

Opera Mini has been my fav mobile browser ever since I bought my Nokia E71. Now there is a competitor, in the form of UCWEB6, which distinguishes itself with tabbed browsing and copy-and-paste. But I can't seem to blog at blogger.com. Error message appears, saying that required field cannot be blank. Will test more and report back.

Testing if my combined RSS feed works on Facebook

Currently, if you want to show posts from your blog in Facebook (via Notes), you can only use one RSS feed. What about people with multiple blogs? There are several websites out there that combine RSS feeds into one single RSS feed. I've been trying a few with limited success. One previous feed only showed old posts before the various feeds were combined, and did not show my new blog posts. Now trying a different website (FeedMingle) to see if this one works. This is a test post after inserting the combined RSS feed. If I can see this in the Notes, then it should be working...

Nokia E72 - quick thoughts

Major changes are the new optical D-pad, 5 megapixel camera, and 3.5mm headphone jack.

I personally think it's ugly. Also, I would have preferred a touchscreen. Cut-and-paste within the browser would be welcomed too. And why did they make the camera stick out even more. The lens is going to get scratched easily.

Lucky me. I'm going to save money by sticking with my E71.
