The Internet Of Things Is Coming Sooner Than You Think: "

So soon, in fact, that a team of Norwegian scientists are hard at work on a common platform called ISIS. What ISIS does is allow users to create and harmonize apps for all their connected items. This useful feature’s value is in keeping the multiplicity of things organized. That’s what lies at the heart of the internet of things—everything is connected.

史上 最大數位相機:26億8千萬畫素拿來 拍星星

史上 最大數位相機:26億8千萬畫素拿來 拍星星: "日本JTT曾推出幾款史上最小的數位相機,雖然嬌小又迷你,根本是為偷窺狂姆指姑娘量身打造。只是「小」似乎無法滿足攝影朋友的心,因此小編開始往反方向搜查,看看是否能找到專為巨人設計的數位相機。皇天不負苦心人,在逛遍星空攝影與天文網站後,讓小編找到這款具有26億8千萬畫素的數位相機,而且還是綠巨人浩克專門拿來拍攝天體用的哦!

這項由歐洲南天文台(下文簡稱ESO)與義大利國立天體物理研究院(INAF)攜手合作的巡天望遠鏡(VST),使用最先進的技術打造而成,全長2.6公尺,鏡頭內的每個濾鏡直徑超過30公分,且採用特殊塗層以便拍攝天體時讓特定波長的光線通過。其機身OmegaCAM由32枚CCD組合而成,畫素高達26億8千萬,重量直逼770公斤(編按:這是D3s的幾倍重啊)。看到這裡,大家是否好奇起鏡頭的光圈葉片長怎樣?是不是有美侖美奐的散景?經由google翻譯大濕與小編的理解,其實VST的光圈非常簡單,是以特殊材質打造的兩片類似刀片的葉片,用途相當單純,目的只是為了阻隔多餘的光線不要進入CCD而已。

▲對VST有興趣了嗎?這個影片會告訴你它的運作哦!


 


VST與OmegaCAM架設在位在帕瑞納(Paranal)天文台位在智利帕瑞納山上,在此之前,原已備有四台8.2m口徑的VLT超大望遠鏡、4m口徑的可見光和紅外巡天望遠鏡VISTA,現在更加入VST巡天望遠鏡一起捕捉星空,使得記錄鑑別天體作更顯如虎添冀。目前ESO已經使用VST與OmegaCAM將南半球的星空巡過一回,並在網站上首度公佈半人馬座星團(Omega Centauri)與Omega Nebula星團的影像作品。在下列的星空攝影作品中,每張都可透過點擊圖片看見官方釋出大尺寸的原始影像,若是這些浩翰星空的照片開啟你的好奇心,不妨到Los Cielos de América一解你對奇幻星空之迷哦!

The home of Erik Spiekermann & Susanna Dulkinys

The home of Erik Spiekermann & Susanna Dulkinys: "





As I would have suspected, the master typographer Erik Spiekermann, has a deluxe, modern house in Berlin. Some features include a full Bulthaup kitchen, a bookshelf that requires a hoisting harness to peruse it, and prismatic windows that allow warmth from the sun to pass through only when hit at a low angle. Sold yet?


On the fifth floor is the office of Spiekermann and his wife Susanna Dulkinys—a designer. The sixth floor is the kitchen and living area while the seventh floor is the bedroom. All of the surfaces of the house are painted a shade of light grey. It keeps the interior bright and cool but not cold.


Susanna Dulkinys on keeping the house’s interior free from clutter:


It’s like creating white space so you can free your mind and be creative.

Panasonic 第四季推出 Android 強書平板,掛車上可當防彈裝甲板(誤)

Panasonic 第四季推出 Android 強書平板,掛車上可當防彈裝甲板(誤): "
Panasonic announces Toughbook tablet

買 iPad 之後的第一件事是什麼?大部份的人應該會立刻前面裝 Smart Cover,後面裝保護殼,中間夾螢幕保護膜,背面再包膜吧?不論 iPad 本身到底有多耐操,總之是不會有人真的去試試它的極限在哪的。不過如果是這台強書平板的話,那大概就不一樣了 -- 有著被老虎咬被夯土機夯被雪車輾也不怕的優良家族傳統,這玩意或許更適合我們當中的那些對待電子產品比較粗枝大葉的朋友。當然,做為一台強書,日光可讀的非鏡面 10.1' 1024x768 螢幕、多點觸控、真 GPS(裡面真的有衛星天線)、手寫筆、「一整輪班的電力」(八小時?)和選購的 3G/4G 上網能力自然都不在話下。



可惜除了知道它將在第四季推出之外,我們沒有任何價格或準確的上市時間資訊,不過想要一台夠 man 的平板的朋友,可以準備存錢啦!

Foxconn巴西iPad 2生產工廠啟用時間將延後到八月末~九月初?

Foxconn巴西iPad 2生產工廠啟用時間將延後到八月末~九月初?: "

Brazilian iPad 2 production

根據G1的報導,巴西科學技術部部長Aloizio Mercadante表示原訂在今年七月開始運作的Foxconn巴西iPad 2生產工廠,目前已經延後到八月末~九月初。

延後的主要原因是廠房施工延誤,以及缺乏工程師人才等。另外,根據報導,新的工廠將可節省消費者40%的成本(註:應該是對巴西消費者而言)。並不是由於iPad 2變便宜,而是因為巴西政府並不對國內生產的牲品徵收稅金。
