Apple new line up

After Steve Job’s passing, Apple went all the rage these days with new and more colourful products in its line that ‘revolutionizes’ the conservative image Apple used to have over the years. Maybe it has something to do with Jonathan Ives stepping up in  as the lead designer of Apple. As far as I can recall the last person being head of design in Apple products was Steve Jobs. I believe that this will change Apple’s image as we know it forever. Also I believe that we are going to see some more ‘aggressiveness’ in the time cycle of new products that come out. This will get them into the more competitive aspect of the market than just being independent as a company and being isolated by themselves and have them expand into more sectors and hopefully drag more people into the Apple ecosystem.

RED Epic? What is that?!

If 2 cameras are not enough for your production, try shooting with 50. Recently, I was watching a behind the scenes video of the new Hollywood film,  “The Hobbit”.

I started asking myself  “Why RED?”, “What is it that makes these cameras  better than the rest, and why choose them ?” . And that is why I want to share with you a brief review of the RED epic cameras and leave you to decide for yourself if it’s worth  the price of 24 000$ !!! Continue reading

Control everything in a Hotel by a smart mobile phone

hotelThis is where new-tech is going. It is amazing, because we might have never imagined 5 or 10 years ago that when we go to a hotel, instead of receiving a key card, we will receive a smart phone.

Now this is possible with new technology. The so called high-tech hotels are using this system to provide an advanced and perhaps more  secured services to their customers. I wondered how it worked, so I searched little about it. Continue reading

Robots in our lives

robotsI remember when I was a kid, we used to play with robots; a toy that had a light and some nice motions to it. At the time I never thought that one day robots could be used in big and very sensitive operations. I always asked myself the question of how much can robots be useful for humans. Continue reading
