Sony F65 camera brochure (or web version of it) mainly talks about its sensor innovations: "The F65 exceeds the resolution of any previous digital motion picture camera (as of August 2011), the result of a remarkable Sony Super 35 image sensor".

Sony states: "Through all the decades, our design goal has always been to match the photographic quality of 35mm film. But now we're setting our sights even higher: to surpass the limits of human vision. The F65 image sensor is the first of this new breed".

"The 20 million photosites of the F65 deliver a powerful imaging advantage. The difference is "supersampling":

Regarding the extended 14-stops DR: "Thanks to Sony CMOS advances, the F65 empowers the cinematographer with prodigious exposure latitude, high sensitivity and extremely low noise":

About color gamut: "Many HD cameras are limited to the Rec.709 color space. While this produces broadcast-legal color for television productions, it still falls short of motion picture film. The Sony F65 transcends this limitation. The camera features a new Color Filter Array on the sensor, along with a 3D lookup table (LUT) and proprietary color management systems. In this way, the F65 can shoot in either Rec.709 or F65 Gamut, which actually exceeds the SMPTE specification for color negative film in every direction":

And the last: "the F65 provides over- and undercranking at frame rates of 1 to 60 frames per second (4Kx2K resolution), and up to 120 frames per second (4Kx1K resolution)".

The term Cloud Computing is in a kind of hype at this moment in IT, I discovered this wonderful blog through Google Translated search and proposed the administrator if he can allow me to write one or two articles on Cloud Computing which are still not covered.
Kindly consider my inability to express rightly in English Language. I have used Google Translator to translate my original writing on Cloud Computing to English. I hope respected Administrator will correct my mistakes and it will not create a glith in understanding of the basics of Cloud Computing on the Desktop.

What is Cloud computing

I can see in this blog there is already an article on what is meant by Cloud Computing, So, I am not explaining Cloud Computing from the beginning, just to mention few important points.

The term Cloud Computing is a marketing concept that the reference to a specific technology, as each one defines Cloud Computing for you. In essence, the Cloud Computing provider provides online applications accessible from a web service (typically a browser), with software and data stored on remote servers. At first this architecture can be decomposed into several components, all agreed in principle on a network, including communicating with web services using Cloud Computing. Often, however, only use the two main components: the frontend and backend.

The frontend is the part that makes the user interface, the access device running the software on the Cloud Computing Infrastructure. The backend is just the cloud itself, which can theoretically be made up of several services or servers interconnected in a local network or back into the Cloud Computing platform.

Just wanted to do a quick update regarding the Shutterfly contest. I reside in one of the areas affected by the flooding (PA), so I have not forgotten to get the results out, but have been in a State of Emergency. The winners will be posted tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!

Article by Mark A. Berman appearing on law.com on the LTN website.

This article discusses production of information that is still in an electronic format. The article discusses a recent New York State case, where production of electronically stored information was an issue, "
Practitioners should look to the decision in 150 Nassau Associates LLC v. RC Dolner LLC[FOOTNOTE 3] for guidance as to the form of production and issues that may be encountered when not initially demanding that particular information be produced in electronic form."

The court denied the plaintiff's motion to compel native data in this case. "Claims by [plaintiff], that [defendant] maybe has something to "hide," are little more than bald accusations and not a reason to order [defendant] to provide in raw, electronic or "native" form the data it has already provided in PDF documents or hard copies just so [plaintiff] can more easily reconcile these amounts."

The article then goes on to outline additional examples where the format of evidence to be produced was in dispute. As the author states, "Sanctions may be awarded against parties who fail to comply with requests for the production of documents in native form." The article then discusses a case where sanctions were imposed. "Kowalski v. Ritterband[FOOTNOTE 9] was a medical malpractice action where plaintiffs sought electronic data from defendants' Pentacam machine used to capture measurements stored in a three-dimensional electronic format of a patient's eyes."

The court in the Kowalski matter did sanction the defendant for failing to produce the data in timely fashion, in a format that was similar to how the data was originally kept. "Defendants ultimately provided the data, but plaintiff sought sanctions for defendants' repeated failure to comply with court orders, which cost plaintiffs over $10,000 and forced them to prematurely disclose the name of their expert.

The court declined to strike defendants' answer, but imposed a monetary sanction, pursuant to CPLR Rule 3216, noting that "the delay tactics that defendants utilized regarding the electronic data at issue are indefensible.""

Article by Steven Hunter on Quarles & Brady website.

This article discusses nine key points that are factors to address when discussing eDiscovery costs:

Discretionary Cost-Shifting.
The Meet and Confer
The Safe Harbor
Sanctions
Budget
Discuss (eDiscovery issues)
Know (jurisdiction)
Oversee (collection)
Document (steps taken)

As the article states, "Since 2003, 30 states have adopted rules or enacted statutes that specifically address ESI management, preservation and production in civil disputes. New York and seven other states have developed their own methods for managing e-discovery, while California (and 21 states like it) generally follows the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The remaining 20 states (e.g., Illinois) have yet to adopt any e-discovery rules, but most recognize "the increasing reliance on computer technology," and some explicitly (by judicial interpretation of existing discovery rules) obligate civil litigants to produce ESI as part of their state's existing discovery obligations."

Article by Kevin Sack appearing on the New York Times.

This article discusses some major breaches of security, and outlines examples of personal medical data that has been exposed of the past 2 years.

As the article mentions, "A medical privacy breach led to the public posting on a commercial Web site of data for 20,000 emergency room patients at Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif., including names and diagnosis codes, the hospital has confirmed. The information stayed online for nearly a year."

The article provides some additional information regarding other recent data breaches, "Records compiled by the Department of Health and Human Services reveal that personal medical data for more than 11 million people have been improperly exposed during the past two years alone.

Since passage of the federal stimulus package, which includes provisions requiring prompt public reporting of breaches, the government has received notice of 306 cases from September 2009 to June 2011 that affected at least 500 people apiece. A recent report to Congress tallied 30,000 smaller breaches from September 2009 to December 2010, affecting more than 72,000 people."

More needs to be done to protect our personal medical health records, especially in light of the efforts to increase the use of electronic health care records.
