Content in its shift to become digital
The cats at Fujifilm’s New Product department have been busying themselves of late, with a veritable litter tray of new digital cameras ready to roll out to the masses.
No less than four additions to their J series of digital compacts have been announced, regaling under the names of the FinePix J100, J110W, J120 and J150W.
Opera have been receiving more success in placing their Web browsing software on different platforms, particularly mobile phones.
The latest win is a big one.
For ramblers, hikers and general all-terrain rugged folks looking to capture some outdoors photography, lugging a decent tripod around can be a bit of a chore, so Trek Technologies are hoping that their hybrid tripod/walking stick will prove a hit.
A hybrid what do we hear you ask? Well, indeed. It might seem like a curious creation on paper but it’s even weirder when you get your hands on the thing. For starters, it’s not so much a walking stick as a ruddy great staff that looks like it should be waved about by Charlton Heston as he busies himself parting the Red Sea.
Looks like Facebook and Intel are happy to tell everyone that they’re going out together – and Intel will be providing their server processors.
Facebook users the world over will be breathing a sign of relief, as frankly it can be a real drag to use it, as it often runs like treacle.
Lisa Nova is well known on YouTube as making amusing videos where she either plays a character or makes a joke of other people, at their expense.

Marissa Mayer, the acceptable face to Google’s tech dork-ery, appears to have slipped up somewhat.
She let it out that Google News — one of the only areas of Google that doesn’t have advertising on — generates them around $100 million a year in referrals to main Google, from the 47 million people a month looking at it.
NBC Universal, Fox News Network and Fox Television Stations have filed copyright infringement legal action against Redlasoo, a site that makes video content from TV available to bloggers and provides tools to embed the clips onto Web sites.
We’ve already talked about Panasonic’s new superzoom camera, but to be honest we’re far more interested in its new prosumer Lumix DMC-LX3 digital camera.
Aimed at pros looking for a carry-everywhere SLR back-up and mustard-keen photo enthusiasts who insist on manual options galore, the compact LX3 comes in moody black and no-nonsense silver colour finishes.
Heading for the shelves and ready to to start wooing bird-watchers, wannabe paparazzis and other looooong zoom-lovin’ types is the mid-range Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 digicam.
Sporting a veritable John Homes of a zoom, the 10 MP DMC-FZ28 packs a colossal 18x (F2.8-4.4) optical range, starting off at a handy wideangle 27mm setting and soaring up to a 486mm – which is probably powerful enough to snap the Phoenix lander on Mars. Possibly.
