Oppo teases plug-in camera lenses with OIS and up to 15x zoom

Oppo N1 Lense Close up Press Render
Oppo is a relatively unknown name outside of China, even though the company did make some headway with the Oppo Find 5, and is hoping to continue to establish itself on the world stage with its upcoming Oppo N1. There’s very little we actually know about the device, except for the fact that is expected to feature a rear touch panel, and house a great camera.
If you felt like the 13MP N-Lens “owl” sensor camera isn’t enough, Oppo is there to help you out. Today, the company teased a series of plug-in camera lenses that can be switched out and attached to its smartphones. The initial batch of these plug-in camera lenses use a 16MP Sony CMOS sensor with OIS (optical image stabilization), with one type featuring 10x optical zoom, and another thicker version boasting 15x optical zoom, along with support for NFC, WiFi, and SD card storage.

While Sony is all set to change the smartphone camera game with the highly-anticipated Xperia Z1 and the availability of external attachable lenses for other smartphones, it’s great to see companies like Oppo looking to shake things up as well by giving consumers a choice.

There is still no information on when these plug-in camera lenses will be available, but can definitely expect to get a better look at them during the upcoming launch event for the Oppo N1.

Pressy brings a customizable hardware button to your Android handset

Pressy
So you picked up that shiny, new Android handset and now you find yourself wishing there was an easier, button-based shortcut for getting to your favorite Android functions. Wait a minute… you actually want more buttons on your smartphone? It’s 2013 folks, and less is more (unless it comes to screen size)!
To be fair, sometimes extra physical keys can come in handy, such as a button that allows you to quickly load up your camera. Most of today’s devices are lacking such physical buttons, but that’s where the new Kickstarter project Pressy comes in.
Most Android users are looking to ditch extra buttons, so we have to wonder if there is really a demand for something like Pressy.
Pressy is a tiny button that plugs into your headphone jack, allowing you to easily launch apps and services with the click of a button.
The button works in conjunction with a special Pressy app, and can be customized to do just about anything from launching a camera, to voice recording, opening up settings, launching a specific app or even calling home – the choice is yours.
Pressy isn’t just for one special function either, as it can perform multiple different tasks depending on whether you single-click the button, long click it or even double click.
This sounds pretty cool, but who wants to sacrifice the headphone jack? The good news is that you don’t have to. When you want to plug in a headphone, take out Pressy and put it into an included holder that clips to a keychain. Next, plug in your headphones and the headphone button can fully function as the Pressy key without issue – easy as that.

But is there demand for such a thing?

Most Android users are looking to ditch extra buttons these days, so we have to wonder if there is really a demand for something like Pressy. The answer appears to be a resounding yes, at least judging by the fact that Pressy has already exceeded its $40k goal with 45 days left to go. At the time of this writing, $173,532 has been pledged towards the project.
If you too are interested in getting your hands on Pressy and its accompanying app, you can head over to their Kickstarter page where a minimum pledge of $17 will land you a basic Pressy.

A word of caution, the team behind Pressy is just getting things off the ground, and so they don’t expect to ship the little-button-that-could until March of next year. Still, good things come to those that (are willing to) wait.

Users can also view demo videos of the product they are interested in purchasing. This feature has been added to the service after gauging consumer behaviour through primary and secondary research, and feedback. One research said Indian online shoppers feel the need to be able to touch and feel a product in order to consider buying it and viewing images simply doesn’t cut it.  

HomeShop18 now also sports an all new voice-enabled search bar. Shoppers can now simply give voice commands on the home page search bar in order for the website to throw up results. Once the order is placed, users will now be able to track it better. Important details like update of the order, the date and time of when it was placed, when your order was shipped and when it will be delivered will be displayed. 

On the home page, you will now be able to go through product recommendations by the website. These products will pop up based on your browsing history. When you go to a particular product’s page now, you will be able to see more interactive features like reviews and whether or not the review has been helpful. 

This is not the first time HS18 has forayed into design innovation. Before the new website design, HomeShop18 launched an interesting mobile shopping model called Scan N Shop at Delhi Airport in January this year which was followed by mobile apps for Android and iPhone users.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 'Lite' rumoured to come with cheaper LCD screen

There's less than a week left for the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and yet another leak has now cropped up about the upcoming device. According to a Korean site ETNews, there will likely be two versions of the Galaxy Note 3, and one of them will feature a cheaper display. The “Lite” version of the device is also likely to feature a low-resolution 8 megapixel camera.

This isn’t the first time that news about Galaxy Note 3 variants has surfaced, with previous rumours also hinting at Samsung planning multiple varients of the Note 3. Keeping the latest leak in mind, there is not much else known apart from the trade-off on the camera and the display. The leak does bring one question to light, though. Will we see a cheaper Note 3 variant at the launch?

Just a few days back, there were reports suggesting the possibility of 4k video recordingsupport and improved audio playback for the Note 3. Another leak also gave us a glimpse at the device showing off a 5.7-inch front display panel with a highly-reduced bezel.

According to the previous leaks, it is believed that the Galaxy Note 3 will come with a slightly different design while the display will most likely be a full HD variety. It is likely to pack in a 13 megapixel camera with the new S Orb feature, but the OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) function will be given a miss according to some rumours recently. The Note 3 is likely to be available in two versions – one with a Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor and the other with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC. With the September 4 launch around the corner, fans who are eagerly awaiting it only have to wait a few days before seeing the final specs of the phone.

Why Western intervention in Syria will leave chaos

(CNN) -- Syria's civil war is not America's problem. Syria is surrounded by Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab nations with large standing armies and advanced military equipment. Their cowardice in acting to stop a war on their doorstep should give us pause for thought. Why will they not act, but we must?
Why is American gullibility for war so strong that countries such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Israel can dispense of their moral duties to the American taxpayer?

Make no mistake about it: al Assad is a war criminal, having had his own civilians and soldiers slaughtered in a war to keep his family in power.
The sectarian, ethnic, and religious dimensions of the war have kept the Obama administration (rightly in my view) away from direct military involvement in the conflict.
But what has changed now? The use of chemical weapons to kill people jolts us into probable action, but millions displaced, wounded and 100,000 dead did not. Why? Because the banality of the policy shift rests on the assumptions that American cruise missiles can prevent further use of chemical weapons, provide a face-saving measure for President Barack Obama who can argue that he acted after his "red line" had been crossed in Syria, and neuter critics of Obama's Syria policy.
There is no absolute certainty as to whether al Assad used chemical weapons, or rebel factions did. Al Assad has no credible motivation to use these weapons at this stage, and in this phase of the conflict. He is not losing.
If, as the Russians claim, it was al Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusrah group or Free Syrian Army elements that used weapons to bait America into the conflict, then U.S. firepower would be futile in establishing how a ragtag army and terrorists obtained chemical weapons. No amount of surgical strikes on government facilities will prevent non-state actors from further use of these weapons.
But if we believe that al Assad used these weapons, and launch punitive attacks on Syria, what exactly are we targeting? The secretive and globally isolated nature of the Assad regime and therefore his chemical stockpiles means that we do not know where these are located.
We intervened in Libya with greater confidence because Gadhafi's chemical weapons were mostly eliminated by an international inspection arrangement prior to the Arab uprisings. By bombing Syria now we increase the risk of al Assad using chemical weapons on populations and cities that are not under government control, or to quell new rebellions. Damaging his air force and known military installation would force him to consider his more extreme options for regime survival. Syria is now a fight to the death for both sides.
U.S.-led military strikes in Syria will not change the tide of the war. That is not the mission, nor is it achievable by aerial blitzing. The Syrian opposition is not a government in waiting. It is too fragmented ideologically, overwrought by al Qaeda affiliates, deeply anti-American, and dominated by suburban fighters with little control of major cities, mercenaries who are not committed to peaceful coexistence with Syria's religious Christians, nor its Jewish neighbor.s in on Syria
Syria after al Assad will be worse. A new civil war will break out between opposition factions. By bombing Syria today, we bear the burden of the instability we leave in our wake.
President Obama imprudently mentioned a "red line" in Syria and is now hostage to fortune. The president has changed his policy stance on using illegal wire taps, closing Guantanamo Bay, gay marriage, and more.
The heat of the moment and push from the chattering classes to "do something" without knowing what will consume Obama into another Middle East war. He beat Hillary Clinton as an anti-Iraq war candidate.
By intervening, Syria may well prove to be Obama's war, bequeathed to a new president in 2016. Civilian casualties are inevitable: The images on our screens will not be Syrians using chemical weapons to kill each other, but American bombs creating carnage and killings in yet another Muslim country.
