It seems Paramount has put its head above the parapet by being the first film company to offer clips from its movies on Facebook. This is all because Facebook has a new VooZoo application which helps makes it happen - we are all getting used to film clips being shared on the internet but this will be the first time a company of this nature has given the formal go-ahead. If you are scratching your head wondering what films they have made I have enclosed a list of Paramount films, which you can check out at your own leisure.
Unfortunately, no full length movies are in the pipeline just yet but you will be able to watch short clips up to around two minutes. Coolest Gadgets reports that the main intention is: "always to share the short clips on the world wide web, and more specifically the social network site."
If you want a couple of examples of Paramount's work - start reminiscing of Eddie Murphy in 48 hours or more recently Cloverfield - which I wrote a review on on my own blog recently.
Something else which has interested me this week was the news from Gizmodo, announcing that Olympus has launched a Limited-Edition Mju 1020. OK, granted that doesn't sound like most exciting news ever. However, these digital cameras are rather loud and I don't mean in volume. Olympus has used the ChassisRomanian artist and graphic designer Matei 
Apostolescu to design three different skins to go with the limited edition camera. Just take a look at the one on the right. It looks quite cool and it would certainly be useful as camouflage if you happen to work as a Zebra trainer.
All jokes aside I actually quite like them and let's face it you wouldn't lose this one quite as easily as a normal standard silver point and click. So it looks good and it has a fairly strong spec boasting 10-Megapixels and a whopping 7x optical zoom. If you are interested in digital cameras - I have listed the camera's spec below:
• 7x optical zoom
• 10.1 Megapixels
• 6.9cm/2.7" HyperCrystal II LCD with extra bright display
• 23 scene modes
• Slim, metallic body
• Underwater shooting up to 40m possible in combination with optional underwater case PT-042
• Dual Image Stabilisation
• Face Detection Technology
• Correct exposure of other image areas
• BrightCapture Technology
• New in-camera Panorama function
• Movie recording with sound (up to VGA resolution at 30fps)
• TruePic III image processor for faster image handling and higher image quality
Apparently, Olympus is only going to make 5,000 of these beauties but unfortunately there is no price available as yet but be on the lookout as I reckon these are going to sell like slightly warm cakes.
