The Lytro Light Field Camera looks like an old slide viewer, measuring 1.61 by 1.61 by 4.41 inches. At one end of the camera is a f/2 lens and 8x zoom. At the other end is a small LCD touchscreen that measures 1.46 inches diagonally. Exposure can be set by tapping the screen. After taking a shot, focusing effects can be performed on the screen too. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  It's no secret that Apple will unveil the new iPad 3 at its March 7 event for journalists next week. The coy and vague invitations to the event featured an iPad-looking image, with the words, "We have something you really have to see. And touch." Beyond the hope for a wicked-sharp new iPad 3 screen and speculation about a beefier processor, a whole different set of rumors has been gaining momentum: First, might Apple take advantage of all the hoopla around the attention-grabbing iPad 3 and use it to introduce an iOS-based sibling, a new generation of the Apple TV? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  Adobe has been a fickle friend to Linux in recent times. Not only did the company put the brakes on mobile Flash last year, but it also put Linux users on a roller-coaster ride for 64-bit Flash and it pulled the plug on AIR for Linux. The latest affront? Coming soon, there will be no more standalone Flash Player for Linux. Instead, Linux users who want Flash will have to do it through Chrome -- unless, of course, they happen to choose from among numerous alternative players out there. Is it the worst of times -- or the best of times? Or does it just not matter? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  With cable-and-wire spaghetti proliferating in and around our homes and offices, threatening to consume our devices and us in the end, it may be time to take a look at Bluetooth wireless technology, which is great if you can get it to work. Wire management in the financial trading floor school of thought consists of filling raised flooring with cables progressively until the voids are full -- and then moving the operation to new premises and starting again, with new and resultant reduced wires. Nice idea. | | | | | | | | | |  | |  | |  |
