First look Pics - Imran Khan bruised and battered in 'Delhi Belly'

Posted: 06 May 2011 02:30 AM PDT


POSTER



The first look of the Imran Khan-starrer Delhi Belly is a far cry from those of other films we get to see often. Rather than posing pretty in glad rags, Imran is bruised and bashed up, sulking and glowering at the camera.

The film stars Imran Khan along with comedian Vir Das and Kunal Roy Kapoor. Poorna Jagannath and Shenaz Treasurywala are the actresses.

Abhinay Deo, the film's director describes Delhi Belly as an "ensemble film" where instead of one character of the hero (Imran Khan) all the characters are equally important and have substantial footage.

Imran, we hear, plays a spoilt Delhiite. He drinks, swears, cheats on his girlfriend, is short tempered, and -- if anything was left -- is hooked to porn films.

The film is written by Akshat Verma and has been produced by Aamir Khan and Ronnie Screwala. It's slated to release on July 1.

The Smallest video camera In the World developed

Posted: 06 May 2011 01:51 AM PDT


Medigus has developed the world's smallest video camera at just 0.039-inches (0.99 mm) in diameter. The company's second-gen model (a 1.2 mm / 0.047-inch diameter camera was unveiled in 2009) has a dedicated 0.66x0.66 mm CMOS sensor from TowerJazz that captures images at 45K resolution (approximately 220 x 220 pixels) and no, it's not destined for use in tiny mobile phones or covert surveillance devices, instead the camera is designed for medical endoscopic procedures in hard to reach regions of the human anatomy.

The miniature cameras are made with bio-compatible compnents and are suitable for diagnostic and surgical procedures. Potential applications include cardiology, bronchoscopy, gastroenterology, gynecology, and orthopedic and robotic surgery.


"Medical procedures that have not been possible until now become possible with the world's smallest camera," said Dr. Elazar Sonnenschein, CEO for Medigus Ltd.


The camera will be integrated into Medigus' own disposable endoscopic devices as well as sold to third-party manufacturers. Medigus says it will begin supplying camera samples to US and Japanese manufacturers in coming weeks for use in endoscopic and surgical devices in such fields as cardiology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, and gynecology. Cost has yet to be disclosed, but Medigus says pricing should be "sufficiently low" for use in disposable devices. 

PlayStation hack Sony Apologises for attack on Network

Posted: 06 May 2011 12:51 AM PDT


Sony chief Sir Howard Stringer has spoken about the security breach of the PlayStation Network for the first time, apologising to the users affected and unveiling a $1m identity theft insurance policy to protect each user in the future.

Stringer has remained tight-lipped about the two attacks on the PSN carried out last month which saw personal information of as many as 100m gamers stolen.

However, Stringer has been forced to take action to try and control the crisis as Sony's share price fell by as much as 4% in trading on Thursday as investors worried about the ultimate cost of the attacks.

In a blog post, Stringer said that there is "no confirmed evidence any credit card or personal information has been misused, and we continue to monitor the situation closely".

Stringer announced plans to introduce more stringent security measures to "protect your information better than ever" and unveiled a $1m identity theft insurance policy per user to "cover identity restoration costs, legal defense expenses, and lost wages that occur within 12 months after the stolen identity event" – but only for US gamers.

And along with his close friends there was also this mystery girl, who the media recognizes as Angela Johnson, arriving quietly at the party. Yeah! Ranbir Kapoor invited Angela and she did come.
