Canon announced a number of new cameras Monday at Photokina, a major European camera show. Among them are the 6D, a prosumer full-frame DSLR, and a few smaller cameras aimed at enthusiasts.

Last week saw the introduction of Nikon's D600, which brought full-frame cameras to their lowest price point yet. Full-frame offers a few powerful benefits for pro and enthusiast photographers, but historically such cameras have cost at least $3000; The D600, and now the 6D, make the luxuries of full-frame slightly more accessible.

The $2,099?6D has a 20-megapixel sensor and an extremely wide ISO range (it will shoot at up to 102400, allowing for work in near-dark conditions), and features built-in Wi-Fi and GPS.

Potential buyers are already comparing it to the D600, and while it does have potentially superior low-light performance and a slightly better screen, the Nikon beats the Canon on autofocus and viewfinder quality. But until actual tests?are done by the experts, such comparisons are purely speculative.

Canon also announced new devices in its S and G series of high-end compact cameras. The $450?S110 builds on the success of the S95 and S100, which have been among the best-reviewed and most popular point-and-shoots of the last couple years. The new version adds a touchscreen, Wi-Fi and a slightly updated sensor. It retains the fast f/2.0 5x zoom lens and the other features that made the other S series cameras so popular.

The G15 is the next device in the G series, which bridges the gap between point-and-shoot and DSLR by taking the fixed lens of the former and adding the manual controls of the latter. The price is in between, too, at $500. New in the latest camera is an updated sensor, a more high-resolution screen (though it no longer folds out), and an improved lens that opens all the way up to f/1.8 on the wide end and f/2.8 at a 5x zoom.

The S110 and G15 will be available in October, and the 6D is expected to ship in December.

Fox and Friends: Punked By Obama Supporter!


A comedian pretending to be a disillusioned former supporter of President Barack Obama appeared on Fox & Friends today and gave an utterly ridiculous interview.

Max Rice appeared via satellite during a segment on the staggering unemployment rate for people ages 18-24 and its impact on Obama in November's election.

Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson introduced Rice as a "recent college grad who voted for President Obama" and who "just moved out of his parents' home."

Quickly, it became obvious that Rice was pulling one over on Fox News.

Rice interrupted Carlson's introduction, saying "S'up," and then told her, "Miss USA, it's an honor." Carlson noted that she was actually Miss America, not USA.

"Miss Universe in my book," he said, going on to state that "I was a huge Obama supporter in 2008 ... I met him in third grade. I met him when I was little."

Asked why he is now supporting Mitt Romney, Rice claimed he lost a bet in a pickup basketball game. "Are you being serious about this or not?" Carlson asked.

"Yeah," Rice said. "I can't see your face right now. This is so weird."

Not to mention hilariously random. It's unclear how "not ready for prime time" Rice finagled this gig in the first place, but hopefully they have him back on.

New Opportunites for Optical Films in the ... - Technology Digital

NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

New Opportunites for Optical Films in the Display Industry - 2012

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0968954/New-Opportunites-for-Optical-Films-in-the-Display-Industry---2012.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Consumer_Electronics

SUMMARY

The purpose of this report is to provide a market analysis of the opportunities and challenges for emerging optically functional films used in displays over the next eight years. In this report, we examine the latest products, strategies, and technical developments of the industry.? For example, we identify where new optical film products are likely to help grow addressable markets for different types of displays versus market-dominant LCDs, and where new films for LCDs may help these struggling displays maintain profitability.Note that hard coatings and other coatings designed to improve the durability of the displays are also commonly found on the front surface of most displays, but these coatings are not optically functional and so they are excluded from the analysis in this report. (Of course, they must be as optically transparent as possible, but they do not perform a particular optical function.) ?In addition, this report also includes NanoMarkets' assessments of the strategies of leading or influential firms active in the optically functional coating/film space.? And, as always with NanoMarkets?reports, this report contains granular, eight-year forecasts of optical films and coatings in volume (by area coated) and value terms, broken out by application.End-use display markets covered include LCDs, OLEDs, e-paper displays, and plasma displays, broken out by mobile computing devices (smartphones, tablets, notebooks, etc.), TVs, computer monitors, and others. Optical film/coating products covered include antiglare/antireflection, color/contrast enhancement, privacy films, reflectors, diffusers, prism and brightness enhancement films, reflective polarizers, multifunctional BLU films, and polarizer films.

Everything About iMessage Annoys Me - Business Insider

Dan Frommer, Business Insider

Apple introduces iMessage at WWDC 2011.

iMessage went down again today.?

Yes, again.?

Beyond annoying.

Because I'm too upset about iMessage's general suckiness to write a full coherent post about it, I'm just going to type out my grievances for you here in order of severity:

  • Whenever an iMessage fails to send, it doesn't always send as a regular text message automatically. There's no alert to tell me something went wrong, so I often don't realize my message never went through.
  • If I get frustrated with iMessage and switch it off in settings, I miss messages from my friends who still use iMessage because the system isn't smart enough to realize I turned it off.
  • I test a lot of different phones, so there are times when I don't use my iPhone for a month or more at a time. iMessage isn't smart enough to know I'm no longer using an iPhone. So whenever I go back to my iPhone, I have several missed messages and I feel lame for leaving people hanging.
  • iMessage also ties into the iPad and the new chat app called Messages on the Mac. That means whenever someone sends me an iMessage I get it on my iPad, Mac, and iPhone. If I read the message on one device, it still sits there unread on the others and doesn't disappear until I read it?again.
  • You can't block people on iMessage like you can with normal texting.
  • And what's the point of iMessage nowadays? Most carrier plans give you unlimited texting by default. Easy.
  • In short, I see zero advantages to using iMessage over normal texting.

So why do I use iMessage if it stinks so much?

Well, because it's turned on by default. And a lot of my friends and family members have iPhones that have iMessage turned on by default. So we're all kind of stuck in this death-loop of missed messages. And there's next to nothing I can do about it.

Defining Inventory Finance | The Board Magazine

By Stephen Hine

Cash flow is one of the principal concerns that new businesses face.When your business has to maintain a specific amount of inventory to ensure smooth transactions, it is imperative that the cash flows are smooth. In such circumstances, relying on conventional financing may be dicey since they are time consuming, which may result in inventory deficits, ultimately leading to loss of business. To help solve such issues, lending institutions have come with innovative financing tools and Inventory Finance is one such tool. This tool helps businesses to maintain adequate stocks so as to ensure smooth flow everyday business operations.

The best part of Inventory finance is that the stock to be financed does not need to be pre-sold. In other words, to get inventory financing for a stock, the stock does not need to be already delivered or billed for by the customer. This helps businesses especially distributors, dealers and manufacturers to maintain sufficient stock without straining the cash flows. One more advantage of inventory finance is that it makes the finance available right from the initial phases of the selling process. This is much more convenient and useful than some of the other financing tools, like invoice financing, that offer such facilities only at the end point of the process.

Inventory finance is suited for manufacturing, wholesale, distribution and reselling businesses. It is also appropriate for businesses that have good inventory turnover with persistent need for steady cash flows to replenish and maintain inventory. Inventory financing is usually available for a wide range of businesses and for inventories of different kinds including raw materials, semi- processed and finished goods.

In addition to the procedural advantages of inventory finance the benefits are also numerous, including:

? Inventory finance helps you acquire stocks without any deposits and covers all costs including Goods & Services Tax (GST)

? Your working capital is so much more strengthened since inventory finance allows you to acquire stocks and make payments on time without hampering the cash flow of your business.

? With inventory finance you can give wings to those expansion plans without compromising your businesses financial health and without losing out on any opportunity to expand your customer base that comes your way.

? Inventory finance also enhances your purchasing power and consequently gets you bulk discounts from the suppliers. This can also help you avail special offers that suppliers float from time to time.

? You can get that extra stock during peak seasons and ensure that you do not lose out on any customer due to stock outs.

? With the ability to buy in bulk and higher volumes, you can negotiate a better deal and lower your freight costs through volume orders and early payments.

? Inventory finance would require no real estate security and neither will it count against your credit line.

To sum it up, inventory finance is a convenient and appropriate solution to all your inventory and cash flow worries.
