Should We Promote Scandalous Materials?

2009-05-22T23:42:00.001+08:00

Lots of bloggers today join the trend in writing about the Scandalous materials that Hayden Kho had recorded. Most of these bloggers are aiming to gain more traffic to their blogs from the googlers and yahooers who are looking for these kind of materials.

However, there are other bloggers who tend not to write about it because for them it's a way of promoting the scandalous materials. The blogs might contain no scandalous materials be since the blogger talks about them, it's like the bloggers are telling the blog's readers to search the internet for the scandalous materials.

However, writing about it without promoting the material is a way of waging war against the real porrn websites. So, when searchers tried to search the materials and then in the result the porrny websites are not found there, then that's one way of saving the internet users in finding the real scandalous materials.

I don't know if that's right but I think it's not wrong to do that.

Hayden Camera

2009-05-21T16:50:00.003+08:00

In the Philippines, there's Dr. Hayden Kho who secretly filmed his sexual adventure with his girlfriends.

Dubbed as Katrina Halili Scandals and Maricar Reyes Sex Scandal are just few of the video scandals that Dr. Hayden Kho has created by himself.

If you'll examine these scandalous materials, you'll notice that Hayden Kho set the camera in a hidden place before the entrance of his girlfriend. I think, the sexual adventures of this doctor had been done in Hotel or similar places.

I can't figure out what camera did he use in recording it, but I'm sure it's a high quality camera that has a long running recording time. From now on, I will call that camera "Hayden Cam".

Digital Camera Tutorial: Aperture & Depth of Field

2006-08-17T13:11:00.001+08:00

When taking a photograph, there are really only three controls that matter on a camera: focus, shutter speed and aperture. Focus is reasonably obvious; you can quickly spot when a picture is out of focus. Likewise shutter speed is easy to understand since it is measured in fractions of a second. However aperture is a mystery to most people, because it is usually explained using technical jargon and its effects are not immediately obvious.

Functionality hasn’t been sacrificed for a clean design, and it includes an MP3 player with stereo speaker and headphones, ISO1000 sensitivity for low light photography (though image noise is inevitably visible), MPEG-4 movies, Advanced Shake Reduction to counteract wobbly hands and blurred images (in truth it’s hit and miss), plus red eye fix, voice recording and a text viewer mode to aid use as an e-book.

Review: Olympus E-330 digital camera

2006-08-15T12:40:00.000+08:00

The E-330 is an update of Olympus's previous digital SLR camera, the E-300. On the face of it, there are no major changes.

However, the big difference becomes apparent when the camera is switched on; it's now possible to view a live image on the viewfinder.

For those used to digital compact cameras – which is to say, most of us – that's not going to be an earth-shattering revelation.

Most digital cameras allow the photographer to use the screen as a viewfinder while lining up a shot. In fact, many digital cameras don't even come with conventional viewfinders any more.

Digital camera aims at baby tooth decay

The cavities are caused by prolonged exposure to sweetened juices and tend to be overlooked by parents until the pain becomes so severe that the only option for the toddlers--often under the age of 4--is sedation and extraction.

Good thing technology can come to the rescue (again).

The Digital Camera Fights for Survival

2006-08-14T13:03:00.000+08:00

When digital cameras hit the mass market in 1997, consumers couldn't get enough of them. Within nine years, nearly 300 million digital cameras were sold, and half of all households in the U.S. and Japan owned one, as did 41% of all European households, making digital photography one of the fastest-adopted technologies of all time. Such dramatic change comes at a price: the icons of photography as we knew it tumbled. Polaroid went bust in 2001. Kodak stopped making film cameras in 2004.

Now, however, it's the sellers of digital cameras themselves who have to worry about possible extinction. With the summer photo-snapping season in full swing, market-research firm IDC is predicting that consumers in Japan and Western Europe will buy fewer digital cameras this year than they did last year (in fact, the numbers already declined in Japan in 2005). Around the world,

Sony Cybershot DSCW50 6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

2006-05-23T14:02:00.000+08:00

Features:

Stores images on Memory Stick cards (32 MB of internal memory included)
6.0-megapixel CCD captures enough detail for photo-quality 14 x 19-inch prints
3x optical zoom; 2.5-inch LCD display
VGA movie mode (640 x 480) allows videos with sound, limited only by memory-card capacity
High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) allows shooting in low-light conditions

Why Sony? Because Sony adds quality, value, and artistic expression to the basic advantage of digital photography--not just replacing film, but enhancing creative possibilities and expanding technology horizons. The new Sony Cybershot DSC-W50 camera combines high-resolution 6.0-megapixel performance and compact design with the appeal of traditional rangefinder shooting, so both first-time buyers and step-up photography enthusiasts will have a camera that's equally adept at saving their memories and capturing their vision. Quality, convenience, and aesthetic excellence--they've been Sony advantages throughout its 60-year leadership in consumer electronics.

Style, Simplicity, and Performance
The DSC-W50 combines sleek metal body and compact design with new high-tech features for image quality and operating convenience. Super-sharp 6.0-megapixel resolution delivers more detail when you're cropping or making big prints. Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens and High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) combine to produce sharp images even in low-light conditions. And Sony's original Clear RAW NR processing circuitry minimizes the color noise distortion of high-sensitivity shooting.

A Screen that Shows More
The extra-large 2.5-inch LCD screen of the DSC-W50 not only gives you a big, bright image for setting up shots and checking results, it also displays a convenient camera Function Guide, with text and icons for easy-to-operate features like color and brightness adjustments, image size, flash and self-timer modes, focusing modes and more. The DSC-W-50 even provides an eye-level viewfinder for traditional shooting. Everything You Need for Great Results
Despite its compact size, the DSC-W50 incorporates shooting features every digital photographer wants--32 MB2 Internal Memory for capturing images in-camera without a flash memory card, built-in slot for optional Memory Stick and Memory Stick PRO Duo media, and Stamina Lithium Ion battery with enough power to capture up to 390 shots3.

6.0-Megapixel Super HAD CCD
Higher megapixels gives you more detail and definition for making large prints and cropping in on your subject. Sony's advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

Extra-Large 2.5-Inch LCD Screen
The DSC-W50 has a bigger, brighter 2.5-inch LCD screen for setting up and viewing images--with a one-touch "Play" button that makes it quick and easy to view your photos.

Simple Controls, Function Guide
User-friendly controls and simple on-screen Function Guide text/icon display help you set up camera functions for terrific shots--and you'll have greater creative freedom to adjust color mode (including "Natural" for subtle colors and "Rich" for more intense colors), sensitivity, brightness, and image size.

High Sensitivity Mode
A new High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) allows you to shoot with great results in low-light conditions--and Sony's original Clear RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps suppress the color noise that can accompany high-senstivity shooting.

Carl Zeiss 3x Optical/2x Digital Zoom
3x optical zoom helps the DSC-W50 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition; Sony's precision 2x digital zoom provides an additional 2x magnification to enlarge details without jagged edges.

Stamina Battery Power
With its powerful Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, the DSC-W50 can capture up to 390 images--enough for a whole vacation. The compact BC-CSG battery charger is also supplied for battery recharging on the go.

13x Smart Zoom Feature
At VGA resolution, Sony's Smart Zoom feature intelligently "crops into" the central portion of interest in your photo without sacrificing full CCD resolution--avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.

Capture Images In-Camera
With 32 MB of internal memory, the DSC-W50 allows you to shoot without a flash memory card--then transfer your images to optional Memory StickDuo media, upload to your computer, or make prints on your digital printer.

Memory Stick Duo Media
The DSC-W50 has a built-in slot for optional Memory StickDuo or higher-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo media--the ultra-compact media for shooting, storing, and sharing your photo images.

MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
The DSC-W50 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio-video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.
