8.9.2007NASA finds lost high resolution film of first moon landing
When NASA put a man on the moon it was a triumph of achievement for the US as it showed its technical capabilities and its dedication to space
exploration. NASA spent years planning for and developing specialized equipment for the mission. One such piece of equipment was a high resolution
video camera that would send back images to Earth. Because of the lack of technology at the time the video feed from the moon actually had to be
compressed and scaled down to work on televisions across the world. After the initial recording of the high resolution stream from the moon the film
went missing after its shipment back to the US.

It's that time again, another week and another Windows 7 build leak. They are really starting to flow now leading up to RTM and this time there

Redmond HQ and is being distributed across the net. The most obvious visual change is that a new default wallpaper has been set and there is no more

16.06.2009Windows DreamScene coming soon on Ultimate
Windows Vista Ultimate users
began to receive the first set
of "Ultimate Extras". But
arguably the most anticipated
Ultimate Extra was not there
-- Windows DreamScene.
Windows client
director, Jeff Putt has
confirmed that this extra will
not be available in its final
form immediately after launch.
However, a technology preview
may be coming soon for Windows
Vista Ultimate users who want
to give it a try.
Windows DreamScene enables
users to use looping
high-definition video content
(MPEG, WMV) as an animated
wallpaper. Thanks to the new
3D accelerated desktop in
Windows Vista, the animated
wallpaper uses virtually no
CPU (just a little for
decoding the video).
Microsoft demonstrated
Windows DreamScene yesterday
at the launch event which
showed Windows DreamScene
using an animated wallpaper
created by
Stardock
. The wallpaper they showed
will be available exclusively
at Neowin.net's partner site,
WinCustomize
.com, in February.
More information on
public availability for
Windows Vista Ultimate users
is expected soon.

20.10.2005Apollo Moon photos reveal detail
Highly detailed photographs of the Moon taken by the Apollo missions are being made available to the public for the first time in more than 30 years.
Photos taken on the Apollo 15, 16 and 17 missions in the 1970s showed the Moon in great detail but were only ever viewed by a few scientists. Since
then they have been locked away in freezers by Nasa to preserve them. Arizona State University is now making them available from the internet after
using high resolution scanners.
"We're scanning the pictures in a very high bit resolution - 14 bits - which means that for each
pixel, you have about 16,000 shades of grey," Mark Robinson, a professor of Geological Sciences and the principal investigator on the project,
told BBC World Service's Digital Planet programme. "A typical scan of a negative or film is eight bits. So it's not only that we're scanning
this at a very high pixel resolution - showing detail to five millionths of a metre - but it's also a high bit resolution, because we want to
preserve as much of the original information as possible."

10.10.2008A look at the Live Maps high-res cameras
Didn't get the digital camera you wanted for Christmas? Then maybe you should consider buying yourself one of these, an

resolution, these cameras are used to take the high-resolution imagery used within VirtualEarth/Live Maps. A word of warning though, Microsoft's
press release in
Nov 2007 shows that only 3 UltraCamX systems have
been purchased in North America since they went on sale in May 2006. Better start saving for next Christmas then.
