If you were wondering which could be the best camera lately up for sale, you might have thought of a 14 MP camera that you thought was the best. However, you would need to be ready and hold your breath to be ready to face what you are going to read. Here is a camera that comes with a 50 megapixel resolution.

The Hasselblad H3DII-50 MS comes with 50 Mp camera and it captures four consecutive shots by moving the sensor by one pixel between each shot. It thus records all the RGB values and you would also have to spend some astronomical amount to get this camera. It looks pretty normal and ordinary but the hidden monster costs $34,000, which according to me is a lot for a camera.

I can’t believe anyone would buy a camera so expensive unless they took their photography really seriously. SO, if you are really serious about your photography and you plan to win the famous photojournalism award. Nevertheless, if you really want the Pulitzer award, you can go ahead and buy this camera but trust me, it is not the camera that matters the most but it is the photographer who brings the frozen subject to life.

Lady Gaga is known for her quirky behaviour and androgynous lifestyle. She is a gay icon and wants to be the next Carmen Miranda. However, she isn’t all that great and just because she is rainbow friendly doesn’t mean I m going to like her more than other talented icons such as Madonna and Kylie Minogue. She recently performed on a Damien Hirst-painted piano at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles.

They celebrated their 30th Anniversary and some of the attendees included Pharrell Williams and Japanese superflat master Takashi Murukami. The piano which Lady Gaga used was auctioned off for $450,000. I am sure there are many fans of Lady Gaga who would like her for her infantile music and quirks that seem barely campy though she tries hard to be so.

She is also one of the best selling artists these days but paying $450,000 for a piano that she played on is simply too much to believe. It should not sound like a rant but Lady Gaga could learn a thing or two from Madonna and make better music. However, there would be many who would disagree with me and these are just the opinions of one blogger. It should not matter much.

There is nothing better than a cool brewery where you could go and check out barrels of beer lying waiting to be bottled. The whole scene and the environment is invigorating enough to make a drunkard out of a teetotaller. Here is a unique opportunity to go ahead and own a part per share of a world famous brewery.

At $250,000 you have the chance of owning a share of the Pabst Brewing Co. in Milwaukee, U.S.A. The brewery is trying to get $300 million and if you have that amount, you could buy the brewery in its entirety. When you pay $250,000 you get a lifetime supply of beer and also a certificate of ownership.

If you do not have the money to become many of the many “owners” of the brewery, you could also pledge smaller amounts such as $5, $25 or $100. However I am not sure if that is going to fetch you the lifetime supply of brewery. It would be amazing to know where your beer is coming from, especially if it is coming from a place that belongs to you! I guess there is no better way to brag in a bar than owning a brewery!

London’s O2 Centre saw a number of Michael Jackson memorabilia being displayed and exhibited. His prized possessions were on display for his fans and lovers who flocked to the centre from all over the world.

A horse carousel, toys, a crown, a throne and numerous portraits were amongst his personal belongings which fans could see in a rare chance. Some of the other exhibits included the rocket ship that was used in his Leave Me Alone video and also the zombies from Thriller. After his death, interest in Michael’s life and his souvenirs have taken the world by surprise and even belongings that are mundane have become priced collectibles and cost millions of pounds.

It is rather strange that people are never valued when they are alive but when they die, everyone seems to value them a lot. Of course, they are forgotten again after sometime. In a world that is dominated by materialistic pursuits, there is little time for anything else. That can’t be criticised either for that is how we humans are: materialistic. Those who disagree are nothing but hypocrites.

Designers Kim Seulgi & Evan Yiwei Ma have created a unique concept which will go a long way, if things go well. That is what is cool about great designs, as they would have good future prospects of being manufactured in real, and then the designers would be encouraged to create more such unique and exciting products.

This time around, Kim Seulgi & Evan Yiwei Ma have created the Share TV which looks like any other T but is made of bezalass OLED screens and thus you can separate the TV for individual viewing. The screen can be split in two and thus there is no opportunity to share and fight, though the TV is all about sharing.

In fact, sharing things is something I don’t believe in as sharing only leads to fights and annoyance. It is instead better to have each thing for our own requirements just like this TV. There would be no need to fight for the remote or to share time and watch TV while compromising individual desires. I would give a big thumbs up to this cool Sharp TV.

There have been many devices which aim to alleviate the misery caused by visual handicaps. Most devices use the electric signals in order to send brains certain neural messages so that the blind person can “see”. Here is a gadget which sends electric impulses through the tongue to the brain, and enables the blind person to perceive space and even read text.

The BrainPort is a device which helps the blind people to regain some amount of vision in certain cases with the help of a camera and electric impulses which are sent through the tongue. The BrainPort then decides the signals to the mountable which is attached to the blind person’s head. These impulses which are decided are then perceived as text or spatial information by the wearer.

The device is expected to cost around $10,000 and may be available commercially very soon. It is expecting FDA approval, for further development. I guess this would help a large section of the visually challenged to regain a part of their vision, only if they can afford the expensive gadget.

LG has just launched a new smartphone interface called the S-Class UI 3D Widget. The interface makes it easy for the user to experience a lot many things which were earlier not possible or not adequate enough. The idea is to replicate the mobile experience into a desktop one. The widget apparently is a desktop replica of the mobile UI and encourages open-mindedness in the user.

In fact, the S-Class UI 3D Widget is perhaps one of the very first attempts at embracing the power of Open API. It allows the user to use Heyzap, Youtube, Photobucket, Smugmug and other such services for free. This could perhaps become the new way of using smartphones as it lies between being a cell phone and a desktop.

Though the video is pretty clear, if you watch it, it is still a little hazy to know and understand. The widget is not only creative itself, but it also encourages creativity among users. LG has even won an award for the S-Class interface. It would be awesome for people who are into gaming and heavy usage of their smartphones.

Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan owns the Manchester City Football Club, and boy he must be swimming in loads of money. He has met with the flamboyant Richard Branson and has agreed to invest USD280 million in a project to the space called Virgin Galactic. Virgin Galactic is a kind of service offered by Richard Branson to kick start the space tourism.

The Sheikh would invest in the insurance of the deal and he shall make use of his Aabar Investments. With this in mind, Aabar would be granted the rights to host Virgin Galactic tourism. Moreover, Abu Dhabi would turn from being a desert tow into a space hub with rockets and space technology creeping into the dusty sand dunes.

As many as 300 people have already registered for the space travel program and even Stephen Hawkings has taken notice of the Virgin Galactic. If you wanna go and fly into the space with these guys, you would need to spend about USD40 Million. The sheikh certainly looks happy about something, doesn’t he?

Michael Jackson life and death has enough dope for everyone to talk about for years together now. For once, the controversies surrounding the King of Pop have hushed down but now everyone is curious about the family of the singer, which also includes a chimp called Bubbles. People have been talking about the monies that the legend has left behind including the large debts. But what none expected was the large sum of 1.25 million pounds that he has left in his will for Bubbles. By the by, his father got excluded from the paper.

We are told by reliable news sources that Michael wanted that the last years of his 26-years-old monkey friend were comfortable. And with so much money to ensure that, perhaps Bubbles can safely be called the richest chimp in the world. Now, we dunno if that little fact will make the hearts of the monkey women racing. But what we do know is that the media has found itself a new focus.

Jackson’s lawyers have go in touch with the current owner Bob Dunn of Bubbles to inform them of the fortune.

While it is no big news that Michael Jackson’s memorial service is going to host a number of stars at the Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles, some touts have already begun to sell tickets for exorbitant prices. Some of them are even quoting prices of about $100,000.

Artists like Justin Timberlake, Aretha Franklin and Lionel Richie are expected to attend and Britain’s Got Talent finalist Shaheen Jafargholi would be performing too. With such a star studded event it is no surprise that people are clamouring to obtain those few tickets available for sale.

However, I would like to question the craze that people have for the memorial service and the way they are being taken for a ride by the touts who have begun to charge $100,000 and above for a ticket. About 1.6 million people had registered for the tickets and only 8,750 could be given away.

The ones that are being sold for that horrendous money are from these few thousand tickets. It would be interesting to see the outcome of the event and how LA would be clogged for hours. When Michael Jackson was alive nobody preferred to remember him but when he left a void behind him, he is back in demand again!
