Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3 Wi-Fi,Web browser Camera Specifications
This Cyber-shot DSC-G3 camera from Sony is really wonderful with a lot of interesting features.This is the world’s first Wi-Fi enabled digital camera.It features uploading photos and videos to Web sites through its built-in Web browser.
Camera : 10.1 Megapixels
LCD screen : 3.5-inch
Zoom : 4X optical zoom
Internal memory : 4GB
Price : $500.
Using Wi-Fi,one can connect the camera any where and can share the photos,videos or mini clips.
It stores nearly 1,000 full-resolution or 40,000 VGA-quality photos.
Picture Motion Browser (PMB) is the software that is used in this camera for searching the photos by various means.
The thing that i like is of its anti-blink function.The camera automatically takes two shots and then determines whether the subject(s) have closed eyes. It will record images with open-eyed subjects. If both pictures have subject(s) with closed eyes, the cameras will record one and display a warning so you can try again.
So we have to wait till the Sony Ciber-ShotDSC-G3 release.

Propagation method:
(1) move the storage media
(2) Network sharing
Affected operating systems: Windows
VBS/Autorun-QO displays the text "THIS IS AN ANTI-VIRUS AND WILL HELP YOUR SYSTEM TO WORK PROPERLY" and "RAHUL THE H@CkEr".
VBS/Autorun-QO copies itself to accessible drives and the Windows system folder as LOVERAHULSAS.vbs.
VBS/Autorun-QO spreads together with a file autorun.inf. The autorun.inf file is also detected as VBS/Autorun-QO.

What made me to start blogging
Every new blogger will say the same thing "I got inspired by this blogger"......"I want to earn money for my daily needs"....some thing like this.
Coming to me I was a newbie in the past 6 years to Internet world.I dont know what are the things going around me.
Later when i started doing my Engineering,that was the time things actually tought me.
It is my passion to know about new technology and what is going on in the world.
Neverthless there should be a "Guru" for blogger who certainly would have inspired to start blogging.For me it is none other than "Amit Agarwal" of Digital Inspiration.
I can't find words to praise this professional and technical blogger who is really helping co-bloggers through a lot of his effort.
