Gigantic 268MP image sensor shoots space photos from Earth
Like UnlikeIf you though the high megapixel DSLR cameras used by pro photographers were impressive with their resolution, wait until you see the gigantic photo sensor for the OmegaCAM that is operated by the European Southern Observatory. The camera uses 32 different image sensors to reach its 268MP total resolution. It uses that resolution to shoot very impressive space photos.
The gigantic sensor weighs a whopping 1,700 pounds. The giant sensor is able to deliver some of the highest resolution images around. This camera sensor will be used inside a terrestrial telescope rather than being launched into space to take its photos like Hubble.
Even though it’s on the ground, the camera takes some very imp...

Walmart leak pegs Vizio 8-inch tablet launch 6-weeks out
Like UnlikeFiled in: VIZIO
Earlier this week, we saw the Vizio tablet in video when NBA star Blake Griffin was hooked up by the Vizio man with a new home theater and a tablet to control the system. I like how the tablet can integrate with the Vizio home theater and work like a universal remote control. I also really liked the cool stereo speaker setup that Vizio used so you get stereo sound in portrait and landscape modes.

Unfortunately, the phone has seen a couple delays, most recently the shift from a June 20 UK release to July 11. In spite of the delays, LG wants to keep us excited about the Optimus 3D, and has issued a press release as a reminder.

Nintendo 3DS has dented the adoption of 3D on portable devices
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesNintendo3DS
The Nintendo 3DS is a failure, at least according to Ian Baverstock, co-founder of gaming consultancy group Tenshi Ventures. And, because the handheld console hasn't offered the greatest of first impressions of glasses-less 3D, he also believes that its legacy could be damaging for future stereoscopic devices.
Speaking at The Futuresource Entertainment Summit in London, Baverstock, who was joined on stage by Andrew Oliver, chief technical officer of Blitz Games Studios, was not unforthcoming with damning remarks for the Nintendo device: "The 3DS has dented the adoption of 3D on portable devices," he said. "A lot of people turn the 3D feature on the 3DS down or off completely. It's fundament....

Microsoft Gets Anti-Trust Approval for Skype
Like UnlikeFiled in: Microsoft
Microsoft’s $8.5 billion proposed acquisition of Skype is one step closer to being a done deal today, with regulators officially giving the Redmond based software giant the green light to proceed with its merger plans. The deal has been stuck in regulatory limbo since it was announced in May, however analysts almost universally agreed that it was unlikely to raise many red flags given how competitive the VOIP space is these days.

Mozilla Developing In-Browser PDF Viewer in HTML5, JavaScript
Like UnlikeGoogle began shipping its Chrome web browser with a built-in PDF viewer almost a year ago, making it the first browser to have such a feature. In fact, it still continues to be the only one. This is quite strange, particularly because of the competitive nature of the browser market. But Mozilla is now getting ready to catch up with Google in this department.
