Lytro, a picture revolution

If you're a photo junkie, you would know how it feels when you took a photo that's out of focus, if only you can recreate the moment, but you can't. But do not falter, there's a new player in town with a new toys.

Introducing Lytro, the camera that allowed you to refocus your photo, after you took it. How the magic happens? In simple laymen term, a camera has sensor that detect light field, and this light field are usually finite, meaning there are limit. However, the new sensor in Lytro camera pick up all light field from the scene, which means it pick up the light direction, intensity and colour.

Now, with this, vast amount of data, you can change the picture to your desire, also, you would never has problem auto-focus since it grabs all the light field, making the photo capturing faster. It would also allow you to capture a low light scene better, without having to use a flash.

For more of this, go here and to their official website. The camera will reach market on the end of this year.

ocean life on mass extinction

Here's your daily dose of Earth preservation. The ocean are now undergoing mass extinction, according to scientist, you can blame that on over-fishing and global warming.

The proves of coral reef dying around the world and increasing area call the "dead zone", this area are basically where the oxygen are so low that no living organisms can live in it, it is real, and it is spreading.

It is also said that we will lose major ocean ecosystem in a single generation. This is a real risk, much more bigger than previously thought. The ocean are facing the deadly trios, acidification, higher temperature and lack of oxygen. This trio is an evidence of mass extinction in the past.

The source are clear, acidification cause by the absorption of carbon dioxide by the use of fossil fuel, which also heating up the planet, while the low oxygen area are cause by run-off of fertilizers and other man made substance.

Unlike global warming, over-fishing is entirely different problem. It can be regulated by strict policy and tighter law. Over-fishing in some area across the globe has resulted in the extinction of some species even bring them to the brink of extinction.

Stuff No One Told Me

Airbus 2050

New concept of Airbus flying in 2050 was shown in Paris airshow, and it look pretty awesome. For instance, the front cabin is transparent, allowing the passenger to view the sky, night or day.

The airplane will be build with bird-like bones that will result in lighter body and ability for transparent fuselage.


There will be a playing area in the plane. Where you can relax and have fun.


As you can see below, there is a holographic pop-up named "Smart Tech Zone" where the power source coming from your body heat to the chair.


Also, they are announcing that with this new concept, there will not be different class sit. Here's a video showing the concept.

government blocked websites

This may not come as a surprise for those that live in Malaysia. The government has now blocked 10 websites that it said it will. I am not a fan of the government, I have said it time and time again, but this last straw really is outright stupid and unacceptable. What is going on in their head when they decided to blocked this sites? They know they going to lose support from the people, what a dick move.

The main reason for the blocked are said to be because it wants to stop piracy. I can understand the noble cause, but let us get the facts straight. Fact is thepiratebay.org is not illegal in US. Fact is some of the website that they blocked are mostly file database website, which is perfectly legal to use by the user of the internet under the terms of the owner of the websites. Fact is, we don't download local movie, we all about supporting our local act. Fact is, by doing this, you just making yourself look bad.

Artistes of course support this, though most of them just jump into the bandwagon, without ever knowing the overall facts. They said that this will prevent piracy, hell no. Do you guys know that most of the pirate songs don't come from the websites listed? If you guys want to stop piracy, stop doing a 1 hit wonders, and start doing something worth listening to. Please don't blame others on your own doing.

Here's a theory on the real reason why they want to do this, first of all, they just fell like they can, people with power always want to show that power. ALWAYS. Secondly, they want to limit the traffic use of the internet, because they want to hog all of them for themselves. Thirdly, it's a peer "pressure", yeah, you know what I meant.

They are ways to bypass all the restrictions, but the fact remain that this is a low move that undermine us as a human being and our rights. We will survives this, we always does. The question is, will the government?
