With the pervasiveness of Live View modes from DSLR makers, it is only a matter of time before similar technology brings a “movie mode” to DSLRs. While the ability to record video is a common feature among point & shoot cameras, technological challenges make the incorporation of a video recording more difficult in DSLRs. A recently published patent application by inventor Hiroshi Terada may change all of this. The patent addresses many of the technological hurdles that have prevented incorporation of a movie mode into DSLRs.As we all know, DSLRs are designed for optimal performance in capturing still images - and DSLR manufacturers have truly raised the bar over the past couple of years. Accordingly, DSLRs are specialist tools that have been optimized to have a very narrow focus tolerance and an ever-increasing auto-focus speed.

Patent Points To Mobile Phone Integration For Blizzard Games A patent filed by World of Warcraft developer Blizzard Entertainment seems to indicate the company's desire to integrate their gaming properties with the convenience of mobile phones. The patent is for a system called "Battlechat" and refers to "virtual network telecommunications services, namely, providing an interface for the electronic transmission of messages and data including voice, text, and message transmission."While the patent doesn't expressly guarantee that you'll be able to slay dragons from your iPhone, it does point towards at least a desire by the company to somehow merge its PC properties with the ubiquitous cellular phone market.If I had to speculate based purely on the description, I'm thinking "Battlechat" could be an extension of Blizzard's Battle.net online matchmaking and communication service currently in use in the firm's Diablo, StarCraft and non-MMO WarCraft titles.In the interest o

Boutique Nordstrom "Mayne" Boot$139.95Free Shipping through 10/31/07Available at: Nordstrom.comI think it starts when we are still in primary school. That feeling that the fall season means a whole new wardrobe. The other three seasons don't have the same pull. They don't create the same desire to completely re-do your entire closet. The fall fashion rush is incomparable and I'm still reveling in all of the fabulous new trends. I can't decide which one to indulge in first. In the lead for first fall fashion purchase is a pair of glossy grey patent shoes. Actually, I was going to write about "glossy grey pumps," but then I met Mayne. The new "Mayne" Boot from Boutique Nordstrom (left) is a gorgeous grey patent confection topped with a couple sweet straps and a little ladylike button. Love at first site. These boots will be chic peeking out from your favorite denim or funky paired with opaque tights and a thick skirt. Now, that's not to say that I'm not still adoring grey patent pumps. I
In a story totally unrelated to SEO but just geeky enough that I HAD to post it - Apple's patent application surfaced today for a mouse that has a built-in multi-touch surface similar to the screen on the Apple iPhone.This peek at an advanced mouse from Apple gives some insight into the company's incredible imagination and impressive research and development department.This multi-touch technology is also expected to debut over the next year by Microsoft code named 'Milan'. Coined as "surface computing," Microsoft's Milan computing interface is extremely impressive. Scott Van Achte wrote about surface computing a month ago, but here is a direct link to a preview of this very cool new technology.
For a while, it was looking like Microsoft threats (and money) would convince a substantial number of Linux distribution providers to sign “interoperability and IP protection” pacts with Redmond. But as of today, the “deal/no deal” count is even.
