Do almost all laptops have cameras now?

Q. I was just thinking about getting a laptop and it looks to me like almost all of then have cameras now. Also could you recommend some good brands?

Answer
Just about all of the latest laptops and netbooks I've seen today have decent web cams built into them.

There are many excellent laptops and netbooks out there today. Going with a brand name computer with a good warranty and support program is important.

Do a search for "top laptop reviews" and you will find many websites with customer reviews on the latest and best laptops along with their prices.

Something to consider while shopping for a good laptop or netbook is how much can you spend? What size screen do you want? (15" to 17" are nice sizes, more efficient). Try out the keyboard if you can and make sure it's a full-sized keyboard that feels good.

Make sure you have at least 2 gigabytes of memory if your laptop has Vista running on it. Also, make sure your hard drive is at least 150 gigabytes, preferably larger. And be clear what software comes with your unit, not just trialware programs. Also, make sure your new laptop or netbook comes with a good graphics card on it.

And do make sure you like the look of your laptop or netbook. Make sure it has a nice outer-shell coating and it's something you really like. Check for things like how long your battery cell will last (hopefully between 3-6 hours) and what type of built-in security it might have. HP has some nice units with fingerprint scanners built in.

And while I think about it, jump over to QVC.com and HSN.com as each of them represent HP and ACER laptop and netbook manufacturers and sometimes you can find some great deals there, including flex payments.

How do I scan qr codes with my 3DS?

Pearl

I updated the system, and I have connection but when I go onto the camera, it doesn't have the option to scan a QR code.. Is there something i'm doing wrong?
Thanks for the help :)

Answer
Nintendo 3DS now features a full QR Code Scanner, which can be accessed via the camera. While the scanning is not availible in the actualy camera application, you can find the scanner by going to the home menu and pressing either the L or R buttons to activate the âmulti-task cameraâ (which doesnât allow you to record, only capture still 3D/2D photos).

Here, a new button has been included â when pressed, the QR guidelines will appear on the top screen, allowing users to line it up to a real-world QR Code. Once scanned, the information â such as URL, etc, will be displayed, and you will be asked if you wish to launch the relevant software. In the case of a URL, the internet browser will launch.

Where do I find a magic shop in Hyderabad?

Answer
India is truly set to witness a boom in the export of animation and digital special effects for Hollywood blockbusters.

With production costs being a fourth of that in the US, India is fast emerging as a mega-base for outsourcing animation production from global studios such as Disney, & Cartoon Network.

This is leading to skilled English-speaking Indian animation and design professionals, visualisers, ink-and-paint artists, compositors, scan-and-render artists, in-between artists, game developers, character developers and modeling artists to head westwards lured by attractive dollar salaries.

PentaMedia, Crest Communications, Unilazer, Toonz Animation India Ltd., Magic Shop, Universal Studios, UTV Toons, Western Outdoor, Digital Canvas, ZICA, Shri Adhikari Brothers and Heart Animation, Hyderabad are some of the big players in India. Some of these are acquiring or partnering animation houses abroad.

If you have loads of talent, i.e., if you have a flair for drawing, sketching or cartooning (if you have a bachelorâs in graphic/ applied/fine art), all you need is some professional training to handle the relevant animation and multimedia software like 3D Studio Max, Adobe After Effects and a good compositing software.

You could check out the following institutes:

ZICA Studios, Essel World, Gorai Island, Borivali (W), Mumbai 400091. Tel: 022-8684485/ 6704228. Course: Animation (1-yr).

Heart Animation Academy: Annapurna Studios, Road # 2, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad-500033. Course: Multimedia.

PIX Cell India Productions, S-176, G K-1, New Delhi-110048. Ph: 6422248, 6415821, and 6415836. Course :Animation.

Burr Brown (I) Ltd. have recently announced a course in animation and special effects. The 3-mth course comes at a steep price of Rs 45000/-. Although the advertisement guarantees a job with the organisation as a (2D or 3D) Special Effects or Multimedia professional, in actuality there are several caveats. Contact: Manager HR, Usha Bhavan, A-41 Mohan Co-op Estate, Mathura Rd, New Delhi 110044. Ph: 6950191.

Modi Entertainment Group has entered into a business alliance with the Vancouver Film School, US to set up professional training institutes in India. The first school in Mumbai will kick off with three full-time courses (10-11 mths) in 2D Classical Animation; 3D Animation; and New Media. While Class 12 is the minimum qualification, someone with an art school background would be ideal particularly for 2D.

But these are fairly expensive courses, so do check them out before enrolling.

Also insiders say that 2D animation has almost reached a plateau globally and is in a box-office slump. 3D animation is now the rage because it is much more realistic. The characters and objects can be made to have ârealâ texture. So you would do well to focus on the latter.

Please read!! Will eating chocolates help - 18 Week ultrasound?

Hope

I'm going for an ultrasound on Thursday - I will be 18 weeks exactly on the date. We really want to know the gender of our baby and are so excited!! Both my pregnant friends couldn't see the gender on the particular sonar because the babies werent lying right. Now, I've heard that I must have a bar of chocolate or coffee before I go to the doctor to make the baby more active. Has anyone had success with this? Will it be dangerous to the baby with all the caffeine? Any other suggestions will be much appreciated!!

Thank you in advance for all your answers!! Very much appreciated! Were just so excited. This is our first!

Answer
PLease please please... DO NOT have the chocolate...

The chocolate (or candy or simply anything sweet) will make the baby moving wildly and to be very active.
But - here it is - that will not, absolutely not make the gender revelation easier, because, the quick jerky movement and high activity will not allow the sonographer to focus on given area.
Plus... it will make the whole diagnostic test extremely difficult and he/she might miss some subtle details simply because the baby will not lie still for even a few seconds. He/she could miss very small spinal defect.. or some anomaly in the heart, which is difficult to see anyway and increased baby activity makes it nearly impossible.

Now, here is my advise - please, I BEG YOU, do not eat the chocolate for your 18 week scan. That is difficult diagnostic procedure and you want to know that your baby is healthy at the first place, don't you? If the tech can see the gender - fine, good for you (just remember, there are many places, where it is forbidden by law to reveal gender before 24 weeks of pregnancy - example of that is Vancouver, BC in canada, but there is a lot of such places - so you MIGHT be out of luck at your 18 wk scan anyway)... but if that is not against the law where you live, just go and wait, you might get lucky,.

If that was not visible, simply find a 3D ultrasound clinic in your neighborhood, schedule appointment there at your 30wks and then eat your chocolate. Because they there do not do diagnostic procedure.. they do not need to see kidneys and heart chambers. They will use special software to render the surface of your baby face and hands and feet and gender... and you will see baby waving hands and kicking and smiling etc.. and for that you do not want baby sleeping, but awake moving around...

I am a sonographer myself with over 15 years of experience, please, do not make our life miserable by eating chocolate before 18 wk scan. Plus, it did happen, and not only once, that we could not finish the scan since the baby was simply "flying around" and she had to come again a week later. It is a trouble for everyone.

Thanks for listening to me and good luck with your pregnancy and your baby.

Johnny
