Google's New 'Account Activity' is a scam

Recently,Google has proposed its Account Activity feature, still in its beta mode. Unfortunately, the new feature does not tell its users what they truly want to know. Many Google users want to know how much Google truly knows about them by the topics they search, websites they favorite, and the emails they send. Instead, Google Account Activity is a basic overview of what browsers or platforms you use, alternate emails and the applications you use, as well as your location and most used contacts. This useless information does not state what Google truly knows about its users. Although still in beta mode, there is not much hope for Account Activity by its users. Google users want to know what Google really knows, and have the right to have it deleted.

Encyclopedia Britannica to stop printing books
After 244 years, Encyclopedia Britannica will stop the production of its iconic multi-volume book sets. Normally, Britannica publishes a new set of tomes every two years but instead will only be focused on digital encyclopedias and educational tools. President Jorge Cauz said the move is part of the company's evolution. In reality, the printed encyclopedias only count for one percent of the company's total sales. The move to digital will appeal to the younger generation and will allow Britannica to compete with websites like Google and Wikipedia.

A Review of the Lytro Camera

What if you could refocus pictures after the camera has taken them?

With the new Lytro camera, you can. With the Lytro, pictures are taken just like any other camera, but the digital files are much larger and can be refocused later. This is possible through the new technology introduced through the camera. Not only does the Lytro take into account the brightness of incoming light, but the direction the light is coming from and the colors it contains. Scientists call this information light-field data. With this technology, the camera can focus and refocus over again just by tapping the touch screen.

The camera is about the size of a stick of butter. The lens is on one side, and the small touch screen on the other. Unfortunately, the touch screen is too small and the quality is a little grainy. However, this technology is a big step away from traditional focusing implemented in modern cameras.
