Nikon has launched what’s claimed to be its simplest and most accessible Digital SLR to date.
The D3000 may look like every other DSLR already on the market, but anyone new to the world of professional photography shouldn’t be put off by all its buttons and turn dials, Nikon stressed.

A textile company called Seiren, with headquarters in Fukui Prefecture, presented its product line dubbed , which includes perfumed undershorts and t-shirts that reduce the smell of anal acoustics by 80 percent.
The underpants hit the Japanese market on April 16, when the company presented a pair of men’s briefs, which, however, were quite pricey – 4,800 yen ($49.5).
“Our company has developed various odor-erasing products in the past. But this one can reduce odor by 80 percent in 30 seconds,” says
Tadao Fujitsubo, the vice-director of Seiren’s R&D center. He outlined that the purifying power of the company’s product is really impressive, diminishing slightly only after 200 washes.
To show how effective the garment is, Fujitsubo filled 2 containers with ammonia gas. One of the containers included average cotton, while the other featured a sample of the special fabric developed by Seiren. After Fujitsubo robustly shook the containers several times he started the nose test, in which reporters did not reveal any odor from the jar that included the new fabric.
It is worth mentioning that that Inoidore represents a textile that includes ceramic particles and metallic ions inside the fibers.

Nokia, however, has taken another baby step in that direction with the invention of a cell phone that recharges itself using a unique system: ambient radio waves from the air, and turns that energy into usable power. Enough, at least, to keep a cell phone from running out of juice.
Like most PSP owners, we’ve definitely had our fair share of, “Why isn’t there a second analog stick on here?” moments, fiddling in the air with our thumb for the phantom nub. And Sony knows that we want it, according to the most recent issue of Game Informer where Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that the company “had a very serious discussion” on the subject, but ultimately decided against it due to worries over splintering the market.
