Sony QX10 And QX100: Hands-ON With The Brand-New Screenless Camera.

Sony QX10 (£179) and QX100 (£379) look like lenses,but are actually cameras that connect with your smartphone to take higher-res pictures with better optical zoom.
Key Features:
QX10 has 10x optical zoom,
18-megapixel sensor QX100 is 20 megapixels with 1-inch sensor Image stabilisation
Connect with Sony 'OneTouch'
Fit any smartphone with attached bracket or case
The Pitch:
"With the new QX100 and QX10 cameras, we are making it easier for the ever-growing population of 'mobile photographers' to capture far superior,higher-quality content without sacrificing the convenience and accessibility of their existing mobile network or the familiar 'phone-style' shooting experience that they've grown accustomed to."
Impressions:
Sony's QX10 and QX100
smartphone "companion"cameras are very weird products at first glance. They basically look like someone chopped the lens off a regular camera.
Which is not a surprise.
Because that's exactly what they are.
Both the 10x optical zoom, 18-megapixel QX10 (based on a Cyber-shot WX200) and the higher-end QX100 (20megapixels, with Zeiss glass, a 1-inch sensor) are full compact system cameras, with image stabilisation, except instead of a screen and a camera body they rely on your smartphone to do the heavy lifting -literally, as it turns out, by attaching to the phone with an included bracket or a specially-designed case.
The idea is simple: you take the lens, connect it (digitally) to your smartphone via Bluetooth,and use Sony's PlayMemories Mobile app on your smartphone (Android or iOS) to take your pictures. They are stored on the device itself, and also on your phone - either at 2MP or in full resolution.
It's an odd system, but it's a surprisingly flexible one. There are physical controls on the lens - including a shutter button and optical zoom controls - or you make the same adjustments via the app. You can attach it to the bracket, or just keep it separate - trying out new and ever-more-hipster angles from which to take your pictures.
The quality also seems very good, and while we'd like to see for ourselves Sony insist that the essential guts of each lens are identical to their compact system cameras.
And in terms of price, the news is also not that terrible. The QX10 is about £179, while the QX100 is closer to £399. That sounds like a lot, and it is --until you remember that the camera on which the QX100 is based costs almost exactly twice that amount, for the same essential hardware.
Clearly Sony is out on a bit of a limb with these accessories -but it might also be onto a winner, particularly if it can find a way to bundle the products together in a lower-price package. It might - just might - mean one less bulky gadget in your bag. And that can't be a bad thing. They're out in September.

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...
