Crazy about camera? And picture, too? Well, here is something for you. Meet the Cyber-shot QX10 and QX100 Lens-style Cameras, the first-ever zoom lens and sensor combo that clips right to your smartphone.

These cameras will easily link to your smartphone (iOS and Android) and allow you to capture high-zoom, high quality photos which you can immediately share on Facebook, Instagram, and other social networks. Aren't they cool?

Not only that. Other cool feature of these cameras is the lens-style cameras can act as a remote viewfinder, letting you capture unique photos from different angles and perspectives. Here is a video on how the cameras work.

Proton Preve REEV electric car prototype previewed-malaysian first electric car

This is not the first REEV that we’ve seen from Proton.
There was an Exora REEV, but that was developed with Frazer-Nash and used a rotary engine as the range extender. 

This system has been updated for the Preve REEV – the aluminum block engine is now 1.3 liter in size and has a supercharger, which allows it to produce more power.

According to the Proton engineers manning the booth, the more powerful generator engine allows the Preve REEV to maintain highways speeds even when the batteries have been exhausted, as the more powerful engine can now produce enough power in real time to keep the car going at high speeds.

It’s a prototype to test the REEV system, so the engine bay packaging hasn’t really been done to production car standards. As a result, the engine is mounted high, and the engine hood had to be modified with a bump to clear the engine. The 15.7 kWh lithium ion batteries are mounted under the floor, and the fuel tank has been moved a little to the rear to make way for this.

You can charge the batteries via a plug-in socket on the passenger side front fender, so the range extender only kicks in if your journey exceeds the battery’s capacity. The electric motor can do 80 kW (107 horsepower) and 170 Nm of torque.

The Preve REEV weighs 1,724 kg, but has an ECE R101 fuel consumption rating of 0.82 litres per 100 km. It only outputs 19.4 g/km of CO2 emissions on average, but if you can keep it on electric mode, it’s basically zero emissions. The 100 km/h sprint is done in 14.7 seconds.

Philips Air Fryer

When Mr. Zauj first mentioned about the air fryer, the first thing came into my mind is how can we use air to fry or cook something? Can the air really fry? Ok, he loves cooking, baking and gadgets. Oh yes, he loves those.

So, we went to Pavilion where he took me to Harvey Norman, to show me this item. Well, I must say that this air fryer is quite interesting since I did not really know about it.

So, I did some research to know how this device functions. It uses a technology called "rapid air technology" which is a unique patented combination of high-speed air circulation, with a top grill (www.p4c.philips.com). With this technology, it helps to cook or fry foods faster and healthier. Definitely, this is very helpful for mothers or anyone who have daily hectic schedule to prepare meals. 

With 80% less fat as compared to conventional frying in deep-fat fryer & cook in less than 12 minutes, cooking will never be a problem anymore (hopefully ♥) to those who feels cooking on their own is very hard.
