I happened to be in the Olympiastadion, and suddenly, Citroën unveils this new car so here is a video of it. Sorry about the manual focus set to infinity, I forgot to reset it to automatic after filming the fireworks (which also were sadly filmed totally out of focus).
Bugano from Switzerland, Winning display of 2010 Pyronale Fireworks Competition in Berlin

This is the full fireworks display by Bugano fireworks artists from Switzerland. Every year during IFA, there is the Berlin Pyronale fireworks competition on the outside of the Berlin Olympiastadion. This video is filmed with my Sanyo HD1000 that I have since the beginning of 2008, really sorry about the manual focus set to infinity and scene select to “fireworks mode”, it seemed fine in my 3.2″ viewfinder of the camera but this seems really out of focus in full screen. I wish to buy a better camcorder soon if I can afford a really good one with amazing video quality and much better focus and low light options, one that films better consumer electronics interviews and fireworks displays, with better 1080p mode. But, I only plan to do that once I can find a camcorder that can do great 1080p at “uploadable” bitrates, thus uses newest and best quality compression to keep low uploadable file sizes.

Sony is trying to reply to the success of the Wii by releasing this light bulb thing with a camera and Cell powered software in the PS3 that monitors where you move the ball, and thus can register things into games. I wonder why Sony and Microsoft are doing this camera movement recognition thing instead of basing all their game systems just on sensors in the controllers. Will camera based systems reach the same kind of “magical” feeling as the Wii sensors based system does?

Forever Plus Corp is showing new easy to use USB microscopes, they come with drivers for Windows or Mac, a special software to capture pictures video from the microscope or to do stuff like measuring the size of very small thing. I think it is pretty awesome to have cheap digital microscopes to magnify very small things onto the computer monitor or onto a HDTV. I plan to use one of these in my video reviews when it might be relevant to magnify small parts of cool products.

Freescale is one of the manufacturers partnering with ARM on making the new Cortex-M4 type of processors, Freescale calls them the Kinetis Cortex-M4 Microcontrollers. Cortex-M4 may help to enable to connect all things to the internet, such as the oven, the fridge, motors, medical and industrial applications. It’s something about adding DSP and programmable features into cheap Microcontrollers that may be put into all devices to help connect them to the Internet for cheap. Do you have some good ideas of what Cortex-M4 will be used for in the market? Write in the comments.
Freescale MMA9550L, the new Xtrinsic family of autonomous sensors

Imagine not needing a power button to turn on your phone, just pick it up. Imagine cheaper warranty as manufacturers will know when devices were damaged because of usage error such as fall or banging. Imagine new user interfaces that are much more relying on sensors as the new Freescale Xtrinsic sensors can measure stuff 2000 times per second (the bandwidth and architecture being better). Imagine also sensors combining their abilities through fusion, again, no need to wake up the main ARM processor of the device to do all kinds of things! Imagine the device knowing exactly how it is touched, how it is moved, how it is held, the touch is not anymore only on the screen! This means better battery usage, months maybe even years of seamless standby. The new Xtrinsic sensor only needs 12 micro amps of power to be turned on all the time!
