The first digital, bug-like compound eye camera sees 180 degrees, near-infinite DoF
2013-05-02 18:42:55| Extremetech
An interdisciplinary team of computer scientists and engineers, led by John Rogers of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has succeeded in building the first digital cameras that mimic the compound, many-faceted eyes of dragonflies, bees, and other insects. These digital cameras, which are hemispherical and flexible like their insectoid counterparts, offer nearly infinite depth of field, and a full 180-degree field of view with zero image aberration.

HTC Q1 profits down sharply, sees small improvement in Q2
2013-05-02 10:07:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) HTC reported a bigger drop than expected in first-quarter results. As earlier reported, revenues fell to TWD 42.8 billion from TWD 67.8 billion a year earlier, missing the smartphone maker's guidance of TWD 50-60 billion. The gross margin at 20.3 percent also fell short of the outlook of 21-23 percent, and operating profit was barely breakeven, at TWD 0.04 billion or 0.1 percent of sales, versus an outlook of 0.5-1.0 percent. Net profit plunged to TWD 0.09 billion from TWD 4.5 billion a year earlier. Following the launch of its flagship One smartphone last month, HTC expects second-quarter revenues to improve to around TWD 70 billion and the gross margin to increase to 22-24 percent. Operating profit will remain weak, at 1-3 percent of revenues.
