Technology that can make Present day Cameras Obsolete

Technology is something which makes companies and industries obsolete. Photography though has turned digital, we are still living in the times when films ruled the roast, and have enslaved our imagination. Why should we be satisfied with a photograph where everything is decided beforehand like the depth of focus, the focus or the subject which you need the photo about. It is now time for photography to go topsy-turvy. Where you first take a photograph and decide later what you need to focus on. Enter Lytro, the revolutionary technology, which can make all present day cameras obsolete. Here you dont take a photo, you take in the scene wholly.

The hunting of a ghost?

US 100 billion on hunting down Osama for 10 years, and they say, equivalent to putting a man on the moon, and then burying him at sea with no evidence left to prove, raises more questions than there are answers. Will it be like the famed moon walk, continue creating controversies, with none the wiser. Questions already being raised, was it just a ghost hunting with a cooked up assassination story; why did US waste 9 months planning when they seem to be aware where Osama was located. The version being put out by US seem to be changing by the minute, with errors in details. And to think that the US President was watching the operation live, and still the details are wrong!!

A classic case of Think Global, Act Local

Lot of people need to read this. It is productivity and growth that is more valuable than competitiveness.

But Obama will not agree, as he is obsessed with India and China. (After all he is the 3rd in the FP'sTop Global Thinkers. - Now, wait a minute. What about thinkers from India and China. We don't find many of them in the list. That can mean only one thing. Either Obama is not a good thinker. Or FP is not very good at compiling lists. But then, both of these statements mean almost the same. Isn't it :)

A classic case of Think Global, Act Local !!)
