Sony refreshed many of its mainstream Cyber-shot cameras at CES. Now that we're on the cusp of spring, the company is giving equal love to a trio of more specialized shooters arriving in the US. The 20.4-megapixel Cyber-shot HX300 superzoom easily bests its HX200V ancestor in the optics department with a 50X, 24-1,200mm equivalent lens that sports better stabilization, but the real allure is its autofocus speed: it can lock in twice as quickly at telephoto distances, giving us more reason to use all that extra reach. The WX300 compact zoom isn't quite as alluring on paper with its 18.2-megapixel sensor and 20X (25-50mm equivalent) lens, although it carries autofocus about 3.6 times speedier than the old HX30 while stuffing in WiFi for simpler photo sharing.
These two are joined by the TX30, an all-around improvement for last year's waterproof TX20 camera. While there isn't quite a revolution on the outside, the TX30 can survive twice the depth at 33 feet, carries a longer-zoomed 5X (26-130mm) lens and bumps the resolution to 18.2 megapixels. Both the TX30 and the HX300 will come first, hitting American shops in March at respective $350 and $500 prices. The WX300 will miss March break with its April release, but it will be the cheapest of the pack at $330.

EnlargeSwedish furniture giant?Ikea?was drawn into Europe's widening food labeling scandal Monday as authorities said they had detected horse meat in frozen meatballs labeled as beef and pork and sold in 13 countries across the continent.

The Czech State Veterinary Administration said that horse meat was found in one-kilogram packs of frozen meatballs made in Sweden and shipped to the Czech Republic for sale in?Ikea?stores there. A total of 760 kilograms (1,675 pounds) of the meatballs were stopped from reaching the shelves.
Ikea?spokeswoman Ylva Magnusson said meatballs from the same batch had gone out to Slovakia, Hungary, France, Britain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Ireland. Magnusson said meatballs from that batch were taken off the shelves in?Ikea?stores in all those countries. Other shipments of meatballs were not affected, she added.
However, the company's Swedish branch announced on its Facebook page that it won't sell or serve any meatballs at its stores in Sweden out of concern for "potential worries among our customers."
Magnusson said?Ikea?saw no reason to extend that guidance globally. She said?Ikea?was conducting its own tests of the affected batch. She also said that two weeks ago?Ikea?tested a range of frozen food products, including meatballs, and found no traces of horse meat.
Ikea's?stores feature restaurants and also sell typical Swedish food, including the so-called Kottbullar meatballs.
European Union officials were meeting Monday to discuss tougher food labeling rules after the discovery of horse meat in a range of frozen supermarket meals such as burgers and lasagna that were supposed to contain beef or pork.
The Czech authority also announced Monday that it found horse meat in beef burgers imported from Poland during random tests of food products.
Spanish authorities, meanwhile, announced that traces of horse meat were found in a beef cannelloni product by one of the brands of Nestle, a Switzerland-based food giant. The Agriculture Ministry said it was a case of fraudulent labeling but represented no health threat.
In a statement on its website, Nestle Spain said that after carrying out tests on meat supplied to its factories in Spain it was withdrawing six "La Cocinera" products and one "Buitoni" product from store shelves.
It said it was taking the action after the traces of horse meat were found in beef bought from a supplier in central Spain. Nestle said it was taking legal action against the company, adding that the products would be replaced by ones with 100 percent beef.
Some EU member states are pressing for tougher labeling rules to regain consumer confidence.
The 27-nation bloc must agree on binding origin disclosures for food product ingredients, starting with a better labeling of meat products, German agriculture minister Ilse Aigner said.
"Consumers have every right to the greatest-possible transparency," she insisted.
Austria backs the German initiative; but others like Ireland say existing rules are sufficient although Europe-wide controls must be strengthened to address the problem of fraudulent labeling.
The scandal has created a split between nations like Britain who see further rules as a protectionist hindrance of free trade under the bloc's single market, and those calling for tougher regulation.
Processed food products ? a business segment with traditionally low margins that often leads producers to hunt for the cheapest suppliers ? often contain ingredients from multiple suppliers in different countries, who themselves at time subcontract production to others, making it hard to monitor every link in the production chain.
Standardized DNA checks with meat suppliers and more stringent labeling rules will add costs that producers will most likely hand down to consumers, making food more expensive.
The scandal began in Ireland in mid-January when the country's announced the results of its first-ever DNA tests on beef products. It tested frozen beef burgers taken from store shelves and found that more than a third of brands at five supermarkets contained at least a trace of horse. The sample of one brand sold by British supermarket kingpin Tesco was more than a quarter horse.
Such discoveries have spread like wildfire across Europe as governments, supermarkets, meat traders and processors began their own DNA testing of products labeled beef and have been forced to withdraw tens of millions of products from store shelves.
More than a dozen nations have detected horse flesh in processed products such as factory-made burger patties, lasagnas, meat pies and meat-filled pastas. The investigations have been complicated by elaborate supply chains involving multiple cross-border middlemen.

If you?re in the market for a business opportunity, the chances are good that you?ve explored a variety of ways to make money online and work from home. In truth, there are so many Internet business opportunities out there that it?s almost impossible to tell the best from the rest. And the grim reality is that, while thousands of people launch online businesses in the hope of achieving financial freedom, the majority end up making very little money at all, or worse, paying out more money to their uplines than they?re ever able to recoup.
The good news is that, with the right partnership, you can promote your existing business while multiplying your revenue streams. That way, you don?t have to rely on a single, make-or-break source of income. It?s a bit like planting a garden. It would never cross your mind to plant a single seed in the spring and count on that to feed your family throughout the summer. Instead, you?d plant many varieties of seeds, knowing that one or more will bear fruit as the seasons progress.
The Internet business partner you choose should be one that can provide you the one thing that is the downfall of most work from home opportunities: training. All too often, people who intend to succeed come up against their own limitations and fail to properly market their products. In our garden analogy, that?s like planting your seeds in a drought ? why bother? The company you select should have a proven track record of Internet marketing success, and give you the water spigot and hose you need to tend to your business garden.
So, make sure to look for a company that provides you with training on topics ranging from online and offline marketing to back office functionality and goal setting. They should also be equipped to provide you with tutorials on a wide variety of powerful marketing techniques. After all, there?s stiff competition on the Internet, and in order to successfully compete, you need to know all there is to know about methods such as article marketing, blogging, email marketing, banner advertising, press releases, pay-per-click advertising, and viral marketing ? just to name a few.
At the same time, being knowledgeable about Internet marketing doesn?t mean that you need to reinvent the wheel. Instead, look for a business opportunity that provides you with tools like professional lead capture pages, automated follow-up, a sales center, and a secure website. Ideally, they should also provide you with highly sought after products that you can re-sell ? items like audios, videos, software, templates, and guides. This way, you can increase those revenue streams by earning a healthy commission on every sale, and still have the professional infrastructure in place to promote your existing business.
When you know what to look for, it?s not difficult to separate the best Internet business opportunities from the dregs. In no time at all, your seeds will have sprouted, your plants will bloom, and you?ll be reaping a bountiful harvest.

Seems like you can make calls from everywhere these days, so really, why not one's browser? Mozilla, AT&T and Ericsson are using MWC to launch their new WebRTC-based proof of concept that'll bring plugin-free phone functionality to Firefox, letting users make voice calls, video calls, share files and access things like their address book through the comfort of their browser. Ericsson and Mozilla will be showing the proof of concept off this week at MWC -- if you're not in Barcelona, you can live vicariously through the press release after the break.

Many gamers keeping up with the rumors of the next generation consoles feared the worst- used games being denied access when put into another machine. However, we can all stop hyperventilating as Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed this will not be the case. In an interview with Eurogamer, Yoshida responded to the blatant question with a flat out "So, used games can play on PS4. How is that?" Doesn?t get more concrete than that, huh? Remember, these rumors also applied to the next Xbox, so we all still need to keep our fingers crossed on that one...Gamestop especially.

Customer support tool Zendesk announced in a blog post Friday that it had been hacked earlier this week. The hack affected users of three services that use Zendesk: Pinterest, Tumblr and Twitter.
"We believe that the hacker downloaded email addresses of users who contacted those three customers for support, as well as support email subject lines," Zendesk said in the post. It did not name the three customers publicly, but subsequent e-mails from Pinterest, Tumblr and Twitter to their customers confirmed the breach.
"We recently learned that the vendor we use to answer support requests and other emails (Zendesk) experienced a security breach," said Pinterest in an email. The pinboard-style photosharing social network site said it was only sending the e-mail to people who had used Zendesk and were possibly compromised.
It urged users to take measures to keep their accounts secure by not sharing their passwords and using strong passwords.
Tumblr told its customers to review any e-mail conversations they had with Zendesk to make sure there was no account information that could be used in phishing attacks.

They sell an iPod touch at a profit for $199, why not an iPhone? Reduce memory to 8GB instead of 16GB, smaller screen back down to 3.5" along with a plastic exterior and it could be done. Basically an updated, slimmed down 3GS with lightning connector in multiple colors. I am not saying Apple will or should do this, but I can at least see that it is feasible if they so chose. I think a much more likely price would be $249 to as high as $299 for such a phone. Even in this cheaper market segment Apple would still rather be the premium brand.
There are valid reasons for and against this move but I tend to side with Gene on this one. No reason to completely abandon a $135B market. Many of those people buying cheap phones today will buy flagship models in the future so why not get them into the Apple ecosystem and familiar with iOS now. It would also be popular for children and people without contracts or subsidies in developed countries as well. The shuffle didn't destroy the iPod brand, the mini didn't cause irreparable harm to Macintosh line and neither would a more affordable iPhone.
I agree with most of what you're saying here. ?but I think the Nano hurt the iPod Classic quite a bit. ?And it's going to be tough to design and iPhone that is a lot less expensive yet not completely cannibalize the flagship iPhone like the Nano did to the Classic. ?I know Apple doesn't care about cannibalization from their own line, but the iPhone is the cash cow. ?The only way they can do this is to rethink the iPhone for the emerging markets. ?Maybe not by reducing build/material costs, but to rethink it in a way that just not as feature rich. ?I've argued it your way and the opposite on other thread yet neither argument seems feasible for both an the flagship device to stick around and a less expensive version to emerge.
?
when I travel to China the most common phones i see in the subways and out are the 4"-5" smartphones, and the older crackberry candy-bar feature phones. ?And the later is what Apple needs to re-imagine. ?Not the Smartphones. ?I don't think it's going to happen by just reducing the build-costs and material costs alone. ?THe form-factor and features are going to have to be re-thought in order to find a less expensive solution without totally cannibalizing their flagship device. ?And I DON'T think its going to be an iWatch or any other kind of wearable device.
?
Addition: I think the reason Apple hasn't come out with a lower cost, feature-light, device yet is even they can't figure out how to make a less expensive iPhone that doesn't take away from the flagship model. ?I think they are probably spending a LOT of time trying to figure out how to do this, but coming up short. ?How do you make an iPhone less expensive and give the same iPhone-like experience, but not completely obliterate the flagship device? ?Ask yourself. ?If you had the choice of an iPhone experience that was encased in Plastic or some other less expensive material, yet it does everything the flagship model does and is subsidy-free and $700 cheaper, why would you even consider the flagship model? ?because you like to throw away money on something you'll replace in 1-2 years? ?No, you'll buy the cheaper one, knowing it didn't cost you anything and it's easier to replace. ?So then why keep the flagship model around?
?
It's going to have to be non-retina, smaller SDD, less expensive materials, lesser components. ?and probably reduce the amount of Apps or even drop the App store all together. ?But then, why buy it or even build one at that point? ?So i think that's the problem Apple sees, and that's why I think they are going to have to NOT rethink a cheaper iPhone, but rethink a feature Phone.
?
I think this strategy could also work in the Western markets too. ?Because in those markets. ?Everyone that wants a smartphone has already made their choice. ?It's saturated. ?So those people now have moved to the iPad or Mini iPad for their secondary option. ?THose (like me) now might be thinking: ?"Well, I used to use my phone for everything, I have my iPad and/or Mini. ?So no I use my phone for only a few things. ?I don't need all of what my iPad does when i'm out. ?I only use phone, sms, email and maps...maybe the occasional web browsing and games on the train...and this damn phone is costing me $90-$120/mo. ?that's crazy!!!"
?
There needs to be some very distinguishing factors that clearly separate the flagship iPhone to this rumored less-expensive iPhone. ?there has to be a compromise without sacrificing user experience. ?If you simply just make the iPhone less expensive but put the same iOS in it, there will be no reason for anyone to buy the more expensive version. ?Every Apple product line has clear separations between the models. ?LIke the Nano to the Classic. ?Much smaller, lighter, but very limited SDD. ?The iPad Mini to the Classic, it's lighter, thinner, same?experience, but no retina and slightly lesser processor. ?The same goes with the MBP+r and the MBA. ?Lighter, slower, no retina. ?THey could go this way with the iPhone, but then they would have to drop the other iPhone models being sold.
?
So yes, the argument of keeping the same OS but reducing materials (lighter, thinner, lesser materials, processing power and lower quality components) could work, but in the case of the iPhone, I think it will go the same as the iPod Nano did to the classic. ?Nobody bought the classic after the Nano came out. ?the nano was almost the expendable iPod model. ?If it broke, throw it for a new one. ?I think it's going to have to be more than just materials and components that are the compromise. ?At the price points we're talking about (the $99-$199 range) people replace these kinds of phones almost annually, sometimes quicker. ?And really gives no reason to upgrade to something better. ?IT's going to have to be like an updated iPhone Gen 1 for $199 vs. the iPhone 5 for $699.
?
What if...Apple made a phone that took away the traditional voice functionality and re-designed the Phone App to Data-only phone App with a iCloud phone number that could connect just like a voice phone App? ?Google Voice basically does this already. ?It works with Phone and SMS. ?This could change everything. ?Then there would be no need for the iPod Touch and the iPhone to both co-exist. ?That might get some major push-back from the Cell industry, but it would be a bold move to the future of phones. ?All Data. ?No more Voice/Text. ?Then, they could drop the Touch line and just have an iPhone line. ?They could even update the iPod Nano with a mic. and speaker and there's your iPhone Nano.
?
I think now that more and more Cell companies (in the western world) are dropping the subsidies, the future is looking more an more to the All Data plan.

Think of disaster recovery plans as your company?s insurance policy against the loss of data and services due to a disaster or hardware failure. Your company most likely has insurance plans for other aspects of operating the business, but why not one for IT data and services?
While it might sound like a complicated process, with the right tools it doesn?t have to be. The most effective plans place a copy of your critical data and applications onsite for a quick restore if there?s an IT issue, but also place a copy at an offsite location many miles away from the original data center (also known as ?in the cloud?) so if your primary site is inoperable, your data is still intact and accessible.
One of the lessons many companies learned from Hurricane Sandy is this data stored to an offsite location must be geographically dispersed. Many companies in New York thought they were safe because their data was stored offsite, but the offsite locations ended up being too close, and in the hurricane?s path as well.
According to a 2012 study (2012 Coleman Parkes Research, Ltd), every North American business loses an average of $159,331 per year due to IT downtime and data loss. In addition, the average SMB suffers 10 hours of downtime per year. The difference between just minutes of downtime and days can impact the bottom line by tens of thousands of dollars.
As for SMBs, a study by Applied Research in 2011 found that for SMB?s with fewer than 100 employees, a single day of downtime for a single server costs an average of $12,500.
