Sony Announces Release Of Smallest Ever High Definition Perv Cam
May 13, 2009
Sony has announced that it will be launching the world’s smallest HD video camera that is able to record in full glorious high definition 720p, 30fps video and will have a host of features to help ensure that your voyeur video recording is of a much better quality once you’ve secreted the camera somewhere suitable. The Image Sensing Solutions department claim that it is being aimed at security and industry but we reckon there’s probably some other intended uses for it in various specialist markets.
The camera is smaller than a £1 coin measuring a ludicrously tiny 9.5mm x 7.1mm and as well as boasting 8.3 megapixels it will also offer face recognition, image stabilisation, autofocus, and motion autofocus. The camera is already in mass production and it is believed that it will be placed in security cameras and other devices before hitting the shelves later in the year so not long to wait before you can get one of the world’s smallest and best quality nanny cams ever available on the market.
High sensitivity mode, slow motion, and a 16x zoom are also included as standard but we don’t expect the price to be all that low. One of the great benefits of releasing the world’s smallest, or indeed largest depending on the type of product you’re manufacturing, is that you pretty much hold the keys to the pricing city until other companies jump on the bandwagon and release something equally tiny or even more so.
Are we all April Fool’s if we believe the Conficker windows virus is a threat?
March 31, 2009
There is speculation all over the internet and in the press about the Conficker virus. It is believed by experts that the Conficker virus has already infected more than 10 million PC’s and tomorrow April 1st is expected to be the day that all the infected machines join as one to cause mayhem on the internet. It is believed that the virus will create a huge network of robots that will set about contacting selected sites to cause a ‘denial of service’ message to be generated and the sites concerned will inevitably crash from the amount of computers trying to contact them simultaneously. Sites possibly targeted could be defence or search engines in fact there are some that think the Government sites have already been hacked into by the Conficker virus.
It is recommended by internet security industry experts that anti-virus and anti malware programmes are kept up to date and also scans carried out on a regular basis. Microsoft is so concerned by the threat whether real or imagined, that they have offered a reward of $250,000 for information that will lead to identifying the creator. It is believed by some that the Conficker virus will be used to access personal information from PC’s such as bank details, passwords etc.
McAfee are taking the threat seriously and have a resource specifically aimed at the Conficker threat, with advice on how to find and deal with suspicious files.
