Try to hide this beast of a camera!

by @ 7:34 pm. Filed under Technology

The enormous 160 megapixel camera
Replace your wimpy 5-8 megapixel camera with this 160 megapixel behemoth!

The stats on the new specialty digital camera are pretty impressive. 160 megapixels, insane shutter speeds, and everything else you could want (maybe even a Mac Mini for the studio version).

However, what got me was the photo of the guy holding it! Seeing the camera by itself just does not convey the enormous size! It looks well designed and easy to hold, but it's freakin' huge! :D

Amazing bird emulates the sound of cameras and chainsaws
This wild bird emulates sounds it hears including car alarms, camera shutters, and chainsaws! This is definitely off-topic as far as technology or game stuff but it's really cool... A ground-dwelling Australian lyrebird (of which there are a couple varieties) does the usual bird stuff: prancing around, showing-off and trying to attract a mate. It's this last point where it gets interesting, though. The bird not only makes its own lyrebird specific sounds, but it can emulate nearly anything it hears and with amazing accuracy. In the video below, you can hear and see the bird reproducing other bird calls, camera...

Glass that generates electricity from the sun
Start-up company has a new technology that lets transparent glass generate electricity from the sun. In these times of outrageously greedy oil companies and ever-increasing energy prices, there is a lot of focus on alternative energy sources. Solar energy is not a new concept -- most of us are quite familiar with those ugly black panels you saw spring-up on rooftops back in the late 1980s (and most of us are glad they've fallen out of style too!) However, a small company named XsunX has developed a new technology called Power Glass which aims to gather solar energy without the ugliness....

Modern technology combined with ancient Egyptian history
What do you get when you combine modern website design with ancient Egyptian history? You get the Theban Mapping Project. One of the very few segments of history that I enjoy is the study of ancient Egyptian society and mythology, so I'm going to diverge a bit from my normal posting subjects for a moment... ;) This well-produced site offers interactive maps, photos, and information on various ancient Egyptian historical sites. You can peruse floorplans of temples, view interior photos of tombs, and lots of other cool things. The maps are zoomable, much like Google Maps, and allow you to pan...

Dinosaurs are brought to life on stage
Here's a cool video showing some behind the scenes footage from a stage production of the Walking With Dinosaurs television show. Combining aspects of human power with electronic servos and powerful hydraulic systems, these artists have created some very real-looking dinosaurs which are to be used in an Australian stage production. The dinosaurs are operated by puppeteers via several control methods, some of which you can see in the video. It's pretty amazing how realistic some of the movements are. Some of the dinos appear to be mostly a costume which is worn, while others are much larger...
