Olympus announces PEN E-P5, a Micro Four Thirds camera with 1963 looks and 2013 specs

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it — or fix it, and then undo it all 50 years later. That’s what Olympus is doing with the new PEN E-P5, the company’s latest Micro Four Thirds camera, which looks for all the world like the PEN F from 1963. That’s a good thing, too: the silver and black, metal and leather styling is beautiful, and the camera feels dense and sturdy like any good camera should. It actually looks a lot like the Fujifilm X100S without a viewfinder – again, a very good thing.

Its body may look decades old, but the E-P5 is one of Olympus’ more advanced mirrorless cameras. Much of its technology is taken from the (also beautiful) OM-D E-M5, like the five-axis stabilization system and blistering fast autofocus. The E-P5′s…

Living with Glass, Day Four: Canyon Carving


TKTKTK GLASS

Finally, the flash of newness is wearing off. It’s taken a few days, but the initial novelty of Glass, enjoying wearing it simply because I could wear it, is running thin. The haze of new gadget excitement is clearing and we can truly get down to brass tacks — but that doesn’t mean I’m not having fun. In fact I’ve had the opportunity to take Glass with me to do something very fun indeed: ride a Ducati 848 Streetfighter on some of the most amazing roads in the world.

Even as I did this, a jaunt more focused on gathering some exciting footage than truly evaluating the device, I learned some things — including the fact that a Google Glass headset doesn’t really fit underneath a full-face helmet. Not comfortably, anyway.

Reducing four specific pollutants could cut sea level rise by up to 50 percent

Ocean_1020_large

We’ve understood for many years that the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is a major factor to climate change that threatens to raise the earth’s sea level to a possibly harmful point, but a brand-new study reveals that focusing on removing various other toxins could help slow water level rise as well. Researchers from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) have found that cutting emissions of four pollutants that can cycle rapidly with the atmosphere can slow the annual rate of sea level boost between 25 and 50 percent.

Carbon dioxide isn’t really the only gas leading influencing the water level

While experts have actually concentrated on cutting carbon dioxide exhausts for many years, the team behind this research feels that stablizing CARBON DIOXIDE and cutting …

Two People, One Car, Four DUI’s: Australian Couple Both Charged With Drunk Driving Twice In One Day

four-duis-in-a-day.jpg

A couple in Australia managed to score four drunk driving charges in one day after repeatedly switching drivers after one of them would get pulled over and breathalized. Problem solving: they’re not very good at it. Terrifying pedestrians, yes.

Dunwich police conducted a road side breath test on a female driver in Snapper Street, Point Lookout about 1pm.

The 27-year-old recorded a reading of .126 per cent and was charged with drink driving.

A short time later police stopped the same car which was now being driven by the passenger, a 34-year-old man from Redbank Plains.

He recorded a breath test reading of .110 per cent and was also charged with drink driving.

The couple were released but shortly afterwards the man was observed by police in Point Lookout driving the vehicle again.

The man again recorded a positive breath test and was charged with drink driving as well as driving while suspended.

Incredibly the couple returned to their vehicle and the woman again got behind the wheel.

They were again stopped by police and the woman was n charged with drink driving and driving while suspended.

Wow, two drunk driving charges apiece in one day, that…probably shouldn’t even be possible. After the first one authorities should have dropped them off in the desert so they have to walk back to town and sober up. Or get lost, walk the wrong way for 12 miles, then die of dehydration or an animal attack. Just like in the movies.

Thanks to Mike L, who agrees a taxi might have been a good idea. Or jetpacks.

It Took Four Hours To Make The First Vine Resume

Dawn Siff explains how she made her viral video resume using Vine.

Vine, the iPhone app that allows you to make six-second videos and upload them to a social network, has been used to capture fashion shows and to make a whole bunch of cat videos, but until today it hadn’t been used a means of getting a job.

Dawn Siff, a former political director for Fox News Radio, made a “resume Vine” in which she outlines some of her skills. People are calling it the first of its kind. (Naturally, since the app only launched a few weeks ago.)

While the video seems whimsical and fun, it took Siff and some video producer friends around four hours to make. “We might have done 10 or 12 takes and a few practice rounds,” she says. “We had to get the lighting right. We experimented with putting the iPhone on a tripod,” she adds. She also went through three lightbulbs, which is one of the props in the video. The first two broke.

Siff hasn't gotten any formal job offers yet, but people on Twitter have offered to put her in touch with potential employers. She says she's looking for a job “at the intersection of journalism, storytelling, digital media, new technology, and marketing.”

Kodak-branded S1 Micro Four Thirds camera teased for Q3 launch

Kodakbranded S1 Micro Four Thirds camera teased for Q3 launch

Kodak may have had a miserable time of it recently, however there’s still hope for those who desire a digital camera bearing its hallowed name. JK Imaging, which bought the Kodak brand name for its very own array of shooters, is revealing the S1– a Micro Four Thirds camera that’s destined to introduce in Q3 of this year. We don’t know much about the equipment at this point, other than that it’ll have built-in WiFi and that it’s hinted to hold a Sony-made CMOS. Let’s simply hope JK Imaging ends up a worthy partner.

Kodak S1 Micro Four Thirds camera revealed for a Q3 2012 launch

kodak s1

JK Imaging, the opportunist upstart that just recently certified Kodak’s brand for a new line of cameras, is losing little time in exploiting its newfound brand cachet. In an interview over in China, reps for the company have actually offered the initial look of their S1 mirrorless camera– offering the tantalizing prospect of it signing up with the Micro Four Thirds ranks led by Olympus and Panasonic.

It’ll be heartwarming to see Kodak’s storied brand name continued with a contemporary slice of photographic modern technology, but let’s not forget that it will be the veneer put on the work of an otherwise unknown and unproven company. JK Imaging has promised Wi-Fi connection, a release in the 3rd quarter of this year, and a cryptic “Best Created for …
