Have you seen the World’s First Digital Camera (1975)? (history, gadget, technology, Auckland)

Created by Kodak's engineer Steve Sasson.
In December 1975, Kodak engineer Steve Sasson invented something that would, decades later, revolutionize photography: the world's first digital camera. It was the size of a toaster, and captured black and white images at a resolution of 100×100 - or 0.01 megapixels in today's marketing terminology. The images were stored on cassette tape, taking 23 seconds to write. The camera uses an ADC from Motorola, a bog-standard (for the 1970s) lens from a Kodak movie camera, and a CCD chip from Fairchild Semiconductor - the same technology that digital cameras still use today. To playback the images, a special computer and tape reader setup (pictured below) was built, outputting the grainy images on a standard TV. It took a further 23 seconds to read each image from tape.

iPhone 4 Transparent Case: See-Through Case Alternative for White iPhone 4!

24th January, 2011--In the tech world, anything that's unique could come out as exciting in the eyes of the customers, combine this uniqueness over a popular device and you got yourself the 'bomb' that could turn into a profitable business if managed correctly.
This is the same case for these newly found iPhone 4 see-thru cases. And so far, they look kinda interesting, actually. Check 'em out!
As some of you may already know, each one of us were forced to wait dearly for the arrival of the White iPhone 4 models so for the meantime, you can have these transparent iPhone 4 cases just in case you want to impress your friends.
Interestingly, if you'll use this case, you can actually see the innards of the iPhone 4. Well, not all, but the battery is there with the "Warning Sign" reminding you always to take care of it. If you'll look on its front, there's some sort of a strange looking background, which doesn't look like the actual wallpaper. Okay, I am just raising your curiosity guys, bare with me. But it's still interesting to look at.
Anyway, if you think this isn't cool enough, you can always get those geeky retro iPhone 4 case "cassette tapes" which is also available on that old Nintendo "family" computer controller we all love on the early nineties!
