Well the folks over at Mobile01 (a Chinese tech site) recently got their hands on some photographs of the camera and have shared them with the world. Judging by the photographs, the camera does look pretty sweet, giving off a retro vibe yet is chockfull with today’s technology i.e. fullHD video recording.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The GX1 is the pro version of Panasonic’s GF line and is said to pack a 16-megapixel sensor, a new image processing engine, high ISO at 12800, a touchscreen display panel, an LVF2 external viewfinder with 1,440,000 dots and a Lumix GX 14-42mm kit lens. The camera has yet to be officially announced, so until then, you’ll just have to feast your eyes on these photographs. Hit the source link to check out the complete gallery.</div>

Researchers from the University of Dallas in Texas decided to draw inspiration from mirages in order to create an invisibility cloak that is said to be effective in hiding objects from view. Touted to function best when underwater, it comes with a near-instant on/off switch.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
You will definitely need to check out the video right after the jump to get an idea on its effectiveness, and it would almost seem like magic to me. Simulating a mirage does not sound so easy, but I guess the smarties managed to get it done.</div>

Just what the heck is the world coming to these days?

Imagine a smart fan that is capable of tracking a particular person in the room, focusing all the airflow on said person wherever he/she is, even when walking across the room.
