Pros and Cons of the Sony C905
· Photo quality is second-to-none and needs to be seen to be believed.
· A combination of cutting-edge technologies means the phone has great usability.
· The handset is rather large and chunky which can work well in camera mode but is inconvenient at other times.
· Build quality is questionable and keys are not ideal for texting with a rather merged together, flat structure that can cause you to press the wrong key.
· A common fault has emerged with the handset that has seen some handsets being returned with a malfunctioning ear speaker. This means you are forced to use loudspeaker only when making and receiving calls.
The Sony Ericsson C905 is a phone you should definitely consider if you are a photo enthusiast. The C905 camera can outperform many regular digital cameras and is a great way to save money by purchasing a phone and digital camera all rolled into one.
The disadvantages lie in some poor functionality including limited battery life and emerging faults surrounding sound and connectivity issues. The high price of a handset will also put a dent in your budget if you aren’t planning to use the phone on contract.
Competition for the Sony Ericsson C905 comes from the Samsung i8510, another 8-megapixel camera phone, which just beat the C905 to release and was renamed the Innov 8. However, the Cyber-shot camera provided by the C905 makes it unbeatable in terms of photo realism and perfect pictures.

The latest fitness fad has among adults and everyone an unusual goal: bulking up the three pounds of mush between your ears. Sales of “brain fitness” software increased from a few million dollars in 2005 to $80 million in 2007, according to an estimate from the consulting firm Sharpbrains. Plenty more products are available on the Web. Computerized cognitive training includes games that test memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, plus good old arithmetic and linguistic ability. Brain-training Web sites promise improved mental stamina, the ability to concentrate for longer periods, and a better memory for directions and names—even heightened mood.
The science behind these supposed brain boosters remains promising but inconclusive. Multiple studies in older adults indicate that on-screen exercises can slow age-related cognitive decline, but improving the cognition of other groups is another question. Recent findings do suggest that healthy younger adults can improve their smarts as well: The ability of twentysomethings to solve patterning problems improved after practicing on unrelated memory tests, one University of Michigan study found. The finding suggests that skills in one game can apply to different mental challenges, similar to the way running is good for parts of the body other than just the legs.
The following six Web sites all offer cerebral calisthenics, mostly built around quick, free mental stimulation that’s good for a break at work. Those who are more serious about online brain training may want to subscribe to track their progress. While the science sorts itself out, the Web sites already have one undeniable benefit: They’re awesomely good................

To help our Earth’s inhabitants avoid the fate of the dinosaurs and the Clovis people, researchers with the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-Starrs) have been developed the world’s largest digital camera, which can capture 1.4 billion pixels, to scan the skies for approaching asteroids or comets. The camera is scheduled to begin its search this month with the Pan-Starrs-1 telescope in Haleakala, Hawaii.
Pan-Starrs will repeatedly scan the same portions of the sky to look for changes, such as the supernova discovered during the telescope’s test runs last fall. And if an asteroid is detected hurtling toward Earth Scientists and engineers are still working on ways to use spacecraft to alter its orbit.
