![]() Given the quality of cameras stuffed into smartphones these days, there’s no reason why this device won’t provide users with decent photos and videos, depending on how committed Canon is to developing this tech beyond a novelty item. Of course, Canon isn’t short of a few quid, so it appears its crowdfunding project is geared towards gauging interest in the wearable camera, which could be a suitable option for those seeking to keep their phones in their pockets and still take good pictures without carrying a dedicated compact camera. It’s possible to sign up on the campaign page from today. It’s also unclear whether there’ll be a means of physically plugging in the IVY REC in order to transfer the photos.įinally, there’s no word on how much it’ll cost, but Canon is offering the keenest early-bird backers up to 30% off the retail price. Canon IVY REC - Actioncam - Roze bol. It’s not clear whether that wireless connectivity will be provided by Wi-Fi, or whether onboard storage will be via microSD or built in. Canon IVY REC - Actioncam - Roze De Canon IVY REC is zo compact dat je m overal mee naar toe neemt. The body also has a physical shutter button.Ĭanon isn’t releasing all of the details yet. Interestingly, there’s a mini tripod mount on the back of the device, as well as a dial enabling users to switch between video, stills, a mode called ‘multi’ and wireless transfer. That app will also provide a live preview of what the camera sees. There’s Bluetooth and wireless connectively which will enable snaps and videos to be transferred directly to the upcoming CanonMini Cam App. It’s also promising 1080p video at up to 60fps. The outdoor device, which is capable of capturing photos and videos, promises a 13-megapixel CMOS sensor, with the clip mechanism doubling-up as a viewfinder. The imaging titan has taken to crowdfunding site Indiegogo to seek backing for the clip-on Canon IVY REC, which it says is waterproof, shockproof, lightweight, compact and rugged. ![]() ![]() We’re used to Canon wowing us with some of the world’s best DLSR cameras, so news the company is looking to tempt us with a tiny wearable camera has taken us by surprise. ![]()

Royal Hunt is about as reliable a prog institution as there is, and they’re second to none at making progressive music feel accessible. “Sacrifice” has another chorus large enough to colonize, and “Rest in Peace” is one of the most ballsy songs the band has ever written, charging at you like a raging bull. This could almost be a Tobias Sammet composition for Avantasia, it’s so big. D.C.’s powerful voice grabs a lot of the attention and carries the listener along through the oceans of wank without making one seasick or fret-fatigued. The Moog synthesizer that opens “The Last Soul Alive” is a sweet touch, giving way to an aggressive, rocking attack with keyboard flourishes decorating every guitar riff, but somehow the overall sound never gets too…floral. With just 7 tracks running at 50 minutes, there’s some excess and overdrive in the oatmeal, but the writing is so accessible and likable, it doesn’t feel like the songs are as bloated as they are at times. And once again, accessibility goes hand in hand with showmanship, for ear-hooking and air guitar finger spraining good times. This is another slick, polished dose of slightly bombastic, somewhat symphonic prog-metal delivered with enthusiasm by seasoned, highly skilled professionals. With most of the crew returning from 2015s excellent Devil’s Dozen, little has changed in the House of Hunt. This is an approach many prog bands seem to prefer using in reverse, with predictably mixed results. While the band was never afraid to wank and strut their musical stuff, they always wrote a catchy tune first, then packed the showboating in the right places. Over most of that decade spanning career, they’ve stuck to their original formula, taking rock sensibilities and applying them to prog-metal. Royal Hunt has reached the “long running career” stage, with Cast In Stone being their 14th album. Dark green vinyl with gatefold cover and printed innersleeve. ![]() ![]() I am now running an Core i7 3770K with 16GB RAM. So I paid more for the Intel CPU, but saved in the cost of a motherboard that offered more. Yet my heatsink is compatible with the Core i5/i7 CPUs, saving me from upgrading the heatsink. So I would either have to stick with stock cooling or pay more for a better heatsink. Unfortunately, it was not compatible with the AMD CPUs. My old box had a really nice heatsink that I had put on there (Thermalright HR-02) that I wanted to keep using. If I got the cheaper board, to offset the shortage of ports I would have had to acquire additional expansion cards or hubs, which would bring me back up in price.Īnother addition to the cost of the AMD would have been for a new heatsink. The AMD alternatives were lacking or were very expensive. There are cheap boards for both, but for my uses I needed something with several USB ports and SATA ports (I needed around 10 USB ports on the board and 8-10 SATA ports, with at least 4 SATA 3). While the AMD CPU's were cheaper, the overall package when building my own wasn't that much different due to the motherboard costs. The Intel's were overall faster, but at a price premium too. ![]() I went back and forth between the AMD and Intel options and examining what would benefit my uses more (photo editing, video transcoding, gaming). ![]() I recently was in the market to upgrade my machine (Core2Quad 9650 OC'd to 3.6GHz, 8GB RAM). If you are doing video transcoding and the software you are using can take advantage of Intel QuickSync, then it the Intel flavors will be much better hands down. The i7 series with video editing and other applications will be quite a bit faster than the AMD alternatives. But the i5 will be quite a bit faster in other applications. The i5 series with video editing will be about on par, if maybe just a tad slower, than the AMD alternatives. ![]() I'd recommend looking at the Core i5/i7 CPUs, either the i5 3470/3570 series or the i7 3770 series if you can afford to splurge just a little bit more money. ![]() ![]() The game basically breaks down into a button-mashing fighter with almost zero variability in your move options, but it can result in decent fights, especially if both players really get into it. Since both players are on the same level playing field, what with not being able to "cheat" by seeing objects the other player can't, the competition is much more even. While the single player game can be reasonably frustrating, and you have to play it in order to unlock characters other than Tom and Jerry, the multiplayer game can be reasonable, though very basic, fun. This further stresses the focus on running and picking up objects to throw, but again, the computer has a very distinct advantage here. It sort of makes sense in that the designers wanted to allow for players to get away and regroup without being caught in a corner and killed without being about to come back, but this also means that as the attacker, you'll have to run after each of your attacks. Even though the moves are already limited enough, with really just a three move combo being your longest attack, the pace of attacks is uninterrupted after every attack since the opponent who gets hit becomes invincible for a couple seconds. The computer always knows when an object is around however, so regardless of whether you can see it or not, it'll immediately take off for it, putting you at an overall disadvantage. You can usually only see a small section of the level, so when any object spawns outside of your viewing area you won't know it's appeared right away. You'll find yourself at a major disadvantage if you don't make use of the objects in the level, but the computer will often out-race you to them and get a hold of them first. The main way that you cause damage is to pick up a nearby object and toss it at your opponent, which is how the game can get a little aggravating. ![]() You can pull off a quick three move combo by pressing punch three times, but you can't really string kicks together or mix it in with the punches, so you really only have two melee attack options - punch three times or kick. You can punch and kick, but they're about as basic as possible. You have a very limited amount of options available for you to battle with. The control scheme is about as basic as possible, which also means it's intuitive as well, so War of the Whiskers would fit well with anyone who can handle the cartoon, at least in presentation, as though the game is simplistic, it can also become somewhat aggravating. ![]() ![]() The overall look to the game is obviously very cartoony, and while it's violent it's only violent in a classic Tom and Jerry way, as opposed to, say, Itchy & Scratchy. War of the Whiskers is obviously intended for a younger audience, even though it carries a "Teen" rating. Think of it as something like Power Stone meets Hanna-Barbera and you might have a decent idea of what the game is about. Tom and Jerry in War of the Whiskers pits the two foes, along with other classic Tom and Jerry characters, into various arenas where they can beat the utter crap out of each other. ![]() ![]() The goal is to reach full support for Total Distortion & The Journeyman Project.

The Revolution began with the iconoclastic storming the Bastille, the prison symbolising absolutism whose walls were reduced to rubble. The Zenith of French Glory (1793) by James Gillray. Take another purity spiral during the French Revolution – perhaps the greatest in history. Should we encourage purity spirals because they are the source of our liberty? No, we should not. He also asserted that their passion for liberty had made Britain a free state with limited monarchy and enhanced civil liberties. He called the devout crusaders “fanatics”, and also ridiculous. Hume likened the process to a wild storm bringing calm. Some philosophers, such as the Scot David Hume, argued that the Puritan purity spiral had been worth it. It was natural for the historian Edward Gibbon to note during the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots of June 1780 that “forty thousand Puritans such as they might be in the time of Cromwell have started out of their graves”. Looking back from the 18th-century, many feared new waves of Puritans seeking to enforce their moral codes upon an unwilling society, bringing public violence and political upheaval. The mid-17th century was not the most liberal era if you didn’t agree with the majority view. It was said of beggars, for example, that “the curse of God pursueth them” because they had abandoned family life. Those who did not accept the new culture were condemned. The “saints” competed to show their godliness. Children were given first names such as “ Unless-Jesus-Christ-Had-Died-For-Thee-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned”. Marriage and patriarchy within the household were sacred. And discipline became a social watchword. ![]() Living within a purity spiral defined Puritan society. The poet John Milton, in his Eikonoklastes (Icon Breaker) of October 1649, justified the execution of Charles I by arguing that shattering the sacred icon of monarchy had been essential to prevent the English people from being turned into slaves. The ultimate act of iconoclasm or cancellation is to kill another human being. Families were divided and fought during a bloody civil war across England, Scotland and Ireland. The Puritans established an English Republic and Presbyterianism replaced Episcopalianism. In their eyes, the monarch and his bishops were challenging the true word of God. The Puritans were certain that the godly majority supported them in toppling the tyranny of King Charles I. Take the example of one of the most consequential purity spirals, the Puritan Revolution in 17th-century England. When you believe you are morally superior, when you dehumanise those you disagree with, you can justify almost anything. ![]() History demonstrates the ease with which ordinary people commit atrocious acts, particularly during crises. Unsurprisingly, we have been here before. Equally, if an individual can manifest virtues valued by the group, this fosters a sense of self-worth and belonging. Nationalist politicians and the marketing teams who serve them know how effective such strategies can be with ill-informed electorates.
