EA is going to rock the gaming world with their yet another addition to the Racing simulator series, Need For Speed. This time they are going to call it Need For Speed Undercover. The EA has not provided sufficient details as yet. But the details it has provided are enough for all of us to wait eagerly for Undercover’s launch later this year. The EA tell that one of the two EA Vancouver’s NFS teams are behind the Undercover. Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello also told that the movies like The Transporter are the main inspiration for this game. What we can make of it is that there will be yet another great story line in this Release of NFS which the previous one, NFS ProStreet lacked. Need For Speed team has not lauched any game in the previous two years, so they have had enough time at their hand to take this game to perfection.

Hasselblad H3D-31 DSLR Camera!! Whopping 31 Mega-Pixels!!

The latest Hasselblad SLR camera has just blown people away. Hasselblad claims it to be the first 48mm full-frame camera. The H3D-31 DSLR camera features a whooping 31-megapixel 44- x 33-millimeter sensor, micro-lenses to increase ISO ratings up to 800, image capture rate of 1.2 seconds-per-image, mobile / tethered modes, and the Hasselblad Natural Color Solution for much smoother post-processing.

Looking at the specs one would gather that this SLR camera is not cheap and even in this regard the Hasselblad H3D-31 DSLR camera does not disappoint. The H3D-31 DSLR camera is up for grabs for a mind boggling price of Rs 12 lacs! Thats right u may hav to sell urlf to own this peice of art.

This is what Christian Poulsen, CEO of Hasselblad had to say, “To date, we’ve introduced the H3D-39 and H3D-22 and, in doing so, have set new standards in image quality and lens performance for digital SLR cameras. Offering a full-frame, 48×36mm sensor and unique features, such as Hasselblad’s Natural Color Solution, Digital Auto Correction and Instant Approval Architecture, the H3D-39 and H3D-22 deliver unsurpassed image quality, including moiré-free color rendering, and have become the cameras that professional commercial photographers aspire to. With the introduction of the H3D-31, we’re now looking to address the needs of professional mobile photographers, whose work may encompass shooting a variety of subjects on location, but who still want the image quality that high-end 35mm DSLRs don’t offer. We’re confident that the H3D-31’s additional photographic flexibility, including its faster ISO rating and faster capture rate, will make it a very attractive proposition for the professional mobile photographer.”

Computer Illiteracy

Why do people here in India know very less about the biggest and the most important invention of the 20th century?? Even those who own them and are in buisness relted to them know really little about them..
Most people in India above 30 or 40 years of age think of computers as a toy for children to play. They usually say ki "Bachchon ko computer leke diya hai" kind of things. They are not at all interested in getting used to it. And they usually get cheated while buying things as people who sell make use ok the less knowledge among the masses. The people who sell computes are not willing to switch over to and sell newer items. They will tell u that u wont ever need the new technology, its for high end users but the actual thing is that they dont have it and want to get rid of their old stuffs.
