Will Canon 5D Mark III be releasing in end of February?








Canon is ready to make a step ahead of their DSLR product line with Canon 5D Mark III which is planned to release on February 28, 2012. 


Rumors says it will come with following specs
  • 22 Mega Pixels
  • 61 points AF
  • 6.9 fps, ISO 100-25600(50-51200)
  • 1 Digic 5+ Digic 4 sensor
  • Best HD video quality of any Canon EOS line

You might think when comparing to its competitor Nikon D 800, this is lacking of the performance but according to sources, Canon is going to split the 5D product line to two. One is this little buddy, Canon 5D Mark III and other one is 5D X.
We haven’t got any information about the lenses which will be bundled with Canon 5D Mark III. There’s a high possibility of getting newly released 24-70 f/2.8L II and 35 f/1.4L II with this but we are not exact on that yet.

Ubuntu for Android - New era of computing begins


Ubuntu wallpaper, Ubuntu for Android
Did everyone see the news yesterday? It would have been easy enough to skip over the story, but Canonical announced its idea for bringing Ubuntu, and therefore Linux, to mobile devices (and we're talking proper Linux, not just Android). If you don't count Android (as most Linux users wouldn't), Linux is the last major desktop OS to make the transition to mobile. The strange thing is that with Ubuntu for Android, Canonical isn't exactly creating a mobile OS, just a way to easily transition from mobile to desktop and back. This sort of straddling the line has both its advantages and disadvantages, but still gives us a view of what the future holds for computing.

Canonical will be showing off the Ubuntu for Android software in full at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week. Of course, we should have known that Linux makers wouldn't sit back and let Apple, Microsoft and Google take over the tablet space; and, we should have known that Ubuntu would be the first Linux distro to really push to make the leap. What we couldn't have seen coming was that Canonical would not only bring Ubuntu as a player to the game, but give us a sneak peek into the future of computing. And, we mean all computing, not just desktop or mobile. This is the future.

There’s a big rumor on web about yet to be released Microsoft office app for iPads. The daily, which is the source of this buzz have put a picture of an iPad with Microsoft office app is opened and then rumor started to fire all over the world. According to The daily, Microsoft office app will be submitting to the approval by Apple and will be released in the coming weeks.

Replying to this story, Microsoft spokesperson said that the Daily story is based on inaccurate rumors and speculation. However they have not yet denied about making an office package for iPads. Replying to the denial by Microsoft, Peter Ha, tech editor at The Daily, said that a Microsoft employee had demonstrated a version of the app on an iPad. “The launch screen may not be final, but the app itself is real,” Mr. Ha said. “We were told that the app was done and it was being tested internally.” However, with these rumors buzzing, we can hope for a Microsoft office package for iPads in this year.
