I thought this video of space fits well in to “camera gadgets” as the Hubble Telescope is perhaps the most amazing camera ever created. A few years back a few scientists decided to look in to a dark region of space that looked to be the size of a grain of sand held at arms length. It was a risky move as the Hubble Telescopes time was in demand and taking 10 or so days out of it’s busy schedule to photograph nothing seemed too risky. However, they went ahead and captured the most amazing images of space ever taken before. 10,000 galaxies were found in that black region by using the Hubble Deep Field. It really does show how small our planet is in relation to it’s surroundings.
The image has now been converted in to 3D using a technique which measures the distance to each galaxy (explained in the video below). [Read more…]

It appears that the Dell Mini 12 and Mini 9 have been discontinued. I am guessing the Mini 9 might have just been a tad too small while the Mini 12 was a tad too large for a netbook. Of course I might be completely wrong there.
A quick look over on the Dell site shows that the Mini 12 is not on offer and confirmation from Dell support also says the Mini 9 is being phased out. It’s a shame really as they were quite decent little netbooks. Not to worry though as there are plenty more on the market. [Read more…]
