Are you, like so many others, tired of all those old-fashioned cameras you have to hold in order to take pictures?

Well here's a camera you get to throw. The Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera is a foam-padded ball studded with 36 fixed-focus, 2-megapixel mobile phone camera modules capable of taking a 360-degree panoramic photo. You use the camera by throwing it directly in the air. When the camera reaches the apex — measured by an accelerometer in the camera — all 36 cameras automatically take a picture. SEE ALSO: The Development of the Camera: From Ancient to Instant [INFOGRAPHIC] The results — as seen in the video above — are pretty darn impressive, but the Ball Camera is definitely not meant for shaky hands. Right now, the Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera is not available to buy, though its creators have it pending a patent. Bryce Lawrence wins ref award | Sport.

The vote in Parliament was "not the end of the road" for the secrecy Bill, as the Bill can still be fixed at the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) and/or at the Constitutional Court.

Leader of the Democratic Alliance in Parliament, Lindiwe Mazibuko said : "Firstly, we will take the fight to the National Council of Provinces, where we will propose amendments, including a clause to protect those who disclose state information in the public interest. If the Bill in its current form is passed in that house, we trust that the president will send it back to Parliament.

Surely he will see that it is unconstitutional. But if this Bill is signed into law, I will lead an application to the Constitutional Court to have the Act declared unconstitutional.” The Last Sushi Have YOU thought about an ideal Xmas present?

Picture: OCEANS INITIATIVE The annual illegal hunting of great white sharks has begun with a man hooking a two-metre shark in Mossel Bay, then hauling it on to the rocks and posing for a photograph with the animal while it was alive. The unidentified man, who told locals he was from Cape Town, apparently spent nearly an hour getting the shark on to the rocks, where he measured it before posing for pictures on Friday. Shark scientists say great white shark sport fishing begins about this time every year, when these sharks spend more time close to shore.

Great whites are protected and it is illegal to kill them or target them for sport. Angry shark researcher Ryan Johnson of Oceans Research, based in Mossel Bay, said concerned members of the public had alerted him.
