| A Look Back At The Future Of Electronics
I have a professional photographer friend who spent $25,000 for a digital camera back in the 90s. Now you can get great pro-sumer cameras for under $800. At CES, Sony debuted its $699 Alpha DSLR-A100. Like the Canon EOS Rebel XTi and the Nikon D40, this is a full featured camera with interchangeable lenses sold as a kit with a starter lens. The new Sony camera features a 10 megapixel sensor, the ability to take up to 3 frames per second and the support for ISOs ranging from 100 to 3,200. What that all adds up to is a camera that can perform well in a variety of lighting conditions. Also, like the competition, it has image stabilization which compensates for our shaky hands, especially when using a long zoom.
Casio introduced one of the most innovative cameras at show. It isnt an SLR, but the new Exilim Pro EX-F1 has a 12X optical zoom and what Casio says is the worlds fastest burst shooting performance.
Romero revitalizes ‘Dead’ with youth-savvy intellect
The film-industry press tends increasingly to hail Pittsburghs George A. Romero as the godfather of gore, in a smirking nod to his new picture, Diary of the Dead, and to the persistent influence of Romeros breakthrough film of 1968, Night of the Living Dead. The tacit, too-easy assumption here is that Romeros films rely more upon visceral shock value than upon narrative ferocity or scathing social criticism qualities that constitute his larger impact as a filmmaking artist. The medium is horror, of course a popular genre that had embraced gratuitous gore as a ticket-selling commodity several years before Romero had seasoned Night of the Living Dead with such incidental excesses. The message, however, is Romeros continuing usage of the genre as a vehicle for bigger and more troubling ideas about the fragile state of civilization.

Sony slashes price of PS3 SDK to fix game problem
While some may view it as a sign of desperation, Sony on Monday said that it will cut licensing fees for the PS3 SDK in half to spur additional game development. The package now costs $10,250 in the US, 950,000 yen in Japan, and 7,500 euros in Europe. With lower prices now both for the consumer in the form of a system price cut, and for the developer in the SDK, it hopefully will mean higher sales and profits for the PS3. .
Sony’s Cyber-Shot Dsc-T300 Camera Combines Function With Style
Sony is taking the wraps off a new 10.1-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-T300 digital camera, featuring a stylish, ultra-compact design and intelligent functionality to help reduce the risk of taking a bad photo. The new model incorporates Sonys new intelligent scene recognition (iSCN), a technology that allows the camera to analyze shooting conditions and automatically select the optimal settings for the best photo results. In iSCN mode, the camera can automatically detect up to five scenes, and choose the best setting for the situation. In advanced iSCN mode, the camera will shoot using the users settings and then will automatically step in and take a second shot with optimized settings. If the camera determines that the users settings are best, then a second photo is not taken.
Top 10 phones for January
In fact, we had the Sony Ericsson W580i and the W960i also running for the last spot, but we gave it to the K810i eventually as the Cyber-shot had been on the chart more times than both the W580i and W960i combined over the past few months. New entrants for January's Top 10 comprise the Nokia 6500 classic and the 5310 XpressMusic. The chart now tips 8:2 in favor of Nokia. Scroll down for the full listing.
