Sony launches 24.8M pixel full-frame digital camera sensor Sony has unveiled a full-frame CMOS sensor, which is equivalent in size to 35mm film.

The sensor could find its way into high-end digital cameras from companies such as Nikon.

The 24.81 megapixel sensor is capable of capturing images at 6.3 frames per second, although it only offers 12-bit output, as opposed to the 14-bit sensors found in models such as the Canon 1d Mark III and Nikon D3.

Sony says its sensor includes a new "Column-Parallel A/D Conversion Technique", which means each column of pixels has its own analogue-to-digital converter, helping to reduce the amount of noise in photos and improve its burst rate.

The sensor should find its way into cameras this year, although exact model details have yet to be confirmed.

Turbo fraud: Never bench Intel's 4C for less than 2 minutes ! You will get 37% better results. In a cold turbo mode. Phenom FX 2,8Ghz in Q2 !? B3 should finally start to kick 
Windows 7 Ultimate Some pundits believe Microsoft is trying to stoke the Windows 7 fires to “build excitement” for its next Windows release. I don’t think this is the case at all. I think Microsoft wants to smother the Windows 7 flames and to dampen expectations as much as possible.
Well, hmm how many lines of the code are in there? 63M? Army's Future Combat System plagued by 63.8 million lines of software code !

In a report in Thursday's (Jan. 24) edition, the Washington Post quoted officials with the congressional Government Accountability Office (GAO) as saying the Army underestimated the size of the software effort. The amount of software code for the Future Combat System has reportedly doubled since development began in 2003.

According to GAO, the program has grown from 33.7 million lines of code to 63.8 million. The next largest DoD software development project is the Joint Strike Fighter, at about 23 million lines of code. President Bush legacy brief Click on to enlarge. First synthetized human genome by year 2014

But synthetic biologists are also planning to scale up from the simplest organisms to the most complex: human beings. The first bacterial genome was sequenced in 1995 and was followed by the landmark sequencing of the human genome in 2001. Based on that trajectory, Voigt estimated that a synthetic human genome -- which could be used in human cloning research -- could be created by 2014.

But before researchers can do that level of synthetic biology, scientists will need to automate their methods. Beyond this work, Voigt said, scientists will need programming tools, in the same way computer scientists use higher level programming languages like Fortran, C++ and Java, to control computer function.

"(Otherwise it's like) writing Vista in binary," he said. "It's just not going to happen." 
Under the Hood: What Intel didn't tell you about 45 nm

The main features of Intel's 45-nanometer process technology are the incorporation of high-k hafnium-based dielectric material, titanium nitride (TiN) for the PFET replacement gate and a TiN barrier alloyed with a work function tuning metal for the NFET replacement gate.

A lot of market for small processor applications is left open. Right? Isaiah core area is just a quarter of Penryn's
one. Being made in 65nm that means its core is superior to Intel's because it used less transistors in cache and more in advanced multimedia features.
