Just when you thought you can no longer squeeze anything else into the tiny Raspberry Pi computer, think again: the puny device is getting a video camera.
A report on PC World said developers expect to make the HD camera available by early spring, though the camera's specifications have yet to be finalized. "The first cameras are expected to come with a 15-centimeter (just under 6 inches) flat cable and sell for around $25. The lens on the camera is similar to those found on many camera phones and is expected to provide 5 megapixels," PC World said.
It quoted Raspberry Pi developers as saying the camera board is an alternative to using USB cameras with the Raspberry Pi. They said a camera board may give a better-quality resolution at a lower price, compared to USB-based counterparts. Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into a TV and a keyboard. Getting Started With The Raspberry Pi Is Not As Easy As Pie. The super low cost computer called the Raspberry Pi is mind-blowing and awesome.
As TechCrunch recently reported, the $25 to $35 mini computer on a circuit board is designed to give kids around the globe an easy way to learn computer programming. But the Raspberry Pi is not like a computer you get from Apple or pickup at the local Best Buy. Open Source Project. The Past, Present, and Future of Data Storage. As we approach the end of 2011 and look forward to another year, we pause to reflect on the long history of data storage.
Mankind's ability to create, process, store, and recall information is light years ahead of the days of cave paintings and engravings on stone tablets. Programming. Quantum Computing: Will It Be a Leap in Human Evolution? Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems that would take a classical computer longer than the age of the universe.
Oxford Professor David Deutsch, quantum-computing pioneer, who wrote in his controversial masterpiece, Fabric of Reality says: "quantum computers can efficiently render every physically possible quantum environment, even when vast numbers of universes are interacting. Quantum computers can also efficiently solve certain mathematical problems, such as factorization, which are classically intractable, and can implement types of cryptography which are classically impossible.
Quantum computation is a qualitatively new way of harnessing nature. " Quantum computing sounds like science fiction -as satellites, moon shots, and the original microprocessor once were. But the age of computing in not even at the end of the beginning. Quantum memory 'world record' smashed. A fragile quantum memory state has been held stable at room temperature for a "world record" 39 minutes - overcoming a key barrier to ultrafast computers.
"Qubits" of information encoded in a silicon system persisted for almost 100 times longer than ever before. Quantum systems are notoriously fickle to measure and manipulate, but if harnessed could transform computing. The new benchmark was set by an international team led by Mike Thewalt of Simon Fraser University, Canada. Solid-state drive. DDR SDRAM based SSD. Max 128 GB and 3072 MB/s.

Top 10 Ways to Teach Yourself to Code. Fonts. What Font is. Create a rainbow coloured eyeball using Gimp. In Gimp there are a wide variety of tools at the user’s disposal for colouring an area.
Here we are going to learn how to use the gradient tool to selectively colour an area, in this case the iris of an eye, and to make the colour appear more a part of the image than if we dropped the colour straight into the image and left it. 35 Inspiring Color Palettes from Master Painters. Putting together a great color palette for your design work can be one of the most challenging aspects of any project.
And many times, color palettes are built from some source of inspiration. So why not be inspired by some of history’s greatest master artists? Colour Lovers has a lot of great tools including the ability to create color palettes auto-magically from pics you find around the web.
