Qxiz Nexus Q Hands On: Google s Odd Little Media-Streaming Orb
This time around, we ;re looking at Sony replacement for the awesome NEX-6, and as with the A5000, we ;re seeing the company slowly but surely abandon the NEX branding. The E-mount camera has a 24.3-megapixel APS-C image sensor and the new Bionz X processing engine. The latter has been trickling its way into every new Sony introduction sin

Sony NEX-6 Review: A Sweet Spot in a Sea of Mirrorless Cameras Some other now-standard Sony features to round out all that upgraded goodness: The A6000 shoots 1920 x 1080 AVCHD video at 60p/60i/24p/24i frame rates. The old

The A6000 sports a 1.44 million dot OLED viewfinder, which is much lower resolution than the 2.3 million dot EVF on the NEX 6. This is a huge bummer. One of the reasons we ;ve recently been writing off cheap DSLRs recently is because a lot of new mirrorless cameras from the likes of Olympus and Sony have viewfinders that are so good that the optical viewfinders on their big brothers seem like a Itpa Google s 15th Anniversary Easter Egg Lets You Search Like It s 1998
One experiment that seems to have hit at exactly the right time for me is the one that uses salt and vinegar to strip the dullness off pennies. This isn 8

About five minutes in the solution and the acetic acid breaks up the copper oxide and leaves the pennies shining. Just wash them off quickly and thoroughly afterwards, because that same solution will helpfully facilitate the combination of the copp

What really cool is that afterwards, there are a lot of copper ions left swimming around in the bowl of salted vinegar, and they ;re looking for a new home. Put something made of iron into the bowl, and the acid does to the iron exactly what it did to the pennies. It strips off the outer layer of iron oxide. The iron underneath is exposed, and with a slightly negative charge. If the iron were in the vineg

They shoulder aside the iron ions and give the iron object a copper plating. For children, the iron object suggested for plating is iron nails. But not for an adult. So my weekend will be spent looking around my house, and possibly the stores in the area, seeing what I can coat with copper for fun. You have a good weekend. I know I will. Via The Exploratorium
