Krishna Dagli writes “This weekend provides one of the year’s best opportunities to see some “shooting stars”. The annual Perseid meteor display is expected to peak on Friday and Saturday night.

Nomad05 writes “Samsung announced this week it has developed the world’s first three-inch VGA LCD panel that “directly meets industry interface standards for digital still cameras.” What this means is that future LCD screens on digital cameras will allow multimedia to be viewed at a resolution of 640×480. Presently, a majority of camera LCDs only display multimedia at a resolution of 320×240 — significantly lower in quality than Samsung’s new LCD. In layman’s terms, expect significantly brighter, more detailed LCD displays, which will enable you to review your photography more thoroughly after you take an exposure. This innovation will make it easier to spot blurry images and ensure your photo is framed properly. ”
