Google Gmail with voice-call support

Google added to it's Gmail the option to make calls on mobile phones and landline telephones. They published it today on their blog. By combining Gmail and Voice function, the voice-call has been enabled from the computer and you will be able as well receive incoming calls. Exiting Google Voice users can connect their accounts with Gmail, but is not necessary as long as all calls are free.

Calling numbers in USA and Canada is for free, but calls to other countries are charged at very low rates. Google has promised, that calls in USA and Canada will remain free at least until the end of the year. Then they will calculate if overseas calls make enough profit, to keep this model. Use Google and call for free everyone you want, well at least if he is not overseas :)

Canon has developed 120-Megapixel sensor

PC Pro - Canon has developed new sensor for digital cameras, it has 120-Megapixels. APS-H sensor, which is the same type as the Canon EOS-1D, in theory supports the resolution 13.280 x 9.184 or 120 Megapixels. Canon claims, that the number of pixels does not have (big) impact on the responsive times. The improved method of reading from the camera with that sensor is 9.5 fps.

But unfortunately we will not be able to buy camera for every day use with that kind of sensor in near future. Canon has three years ago developed sensor with 50-Megapixels and even those cameras are far away from every day use. They even said, that they have no plans to use those sensors in cameras for home users, but only in so-called commercial products, which are especially emphasized in the medical devices.
