Most modern-day cell phones have at least one camera, which can be used either for visual communications, or for snapping images of the user's surroundings. But one thing that makes these cameras stand out, and not in a good way, is the fact that they produce photos of reduced quality, which almost always look g... |

Since Ancient times, people have been fascinated with the way these large cats run, and especially with the speed that they can reach, of up to 112 to 120 kilometers/hour (70 and 75 mph) over short distances of about 460 meters (1,500 feet). What exactly makes the cheetah run so fast has been a subject of controversy... |

Boston Dynamics have come up with something I have to admit I find extraordinary and quite funny when being in motion. In other words, they finally lunched a rugged robot that features the highest terrain mobility level of all. Rhex looks like a cute metallic puppy, but it can climb over rock fields, mud, sand, veget... |

Security experts are always trying to make other people see that their systems are vulnerable, fact which means they need improvement! This is just another one of those cases - white hatters at ProCheckUp have given a proof of concept in an earlier paper on how easy it is to make a total mockery of Axis 2100 IP camer... |
