[CES 2014] Toyota, the name behind one of the most successful hybrid car models to date, the Toyota Prius, has just announced that they are working on setting up a network of hydrogen stations which might just feature pumps as well – and the places where such a network will be installed? We are looking at car dealers and perhaps even trash dumps, although the latter does not seem to be too conducive a place to have it. Toyota recently showed off its hydrogen-fueled FCV sedan, which is a concept version of the car Toyota will eventually sell in the US and Japan in 2014, and Bob Carter, Toyota’s U.S. group vice president, said, “We’re throwing everything against the wall. We know we have to push the infrastructure.”

Toyota is not the only vehicle manufacturer in this proverbial boat, as Hyundai Motor Co. as well as Honda Motor Co. too, have their own plans to sell hydrogen cars and crossovers to folks in California. California, after all, has strict state rules that require increasing numbers of “zero-emission” vehicles to be sold each year all the way through to 2025. At time of publishing, California sports approximately 10 public hydrogen fuel pumps, but we are looking at a possible target of another 100 more within the next 10 years.

[CES 2014] Brace yourselves, folks, for another round of digital camera releases at this year’s edition of CES. Canon has just unveiled the new Canon PowerShot N100 to deliver unique storytelling capabilities for photo enthusiasts in a tiny package. This is a new concept camera that will boast of a new body style and unique, new creative options, letting you create as well as relate your visual stories through the enablement of the photographer to become part of the image being captured. How is this possible? Why, with the introduction of a new Dual Capture mode, of course. This would let users simultaneously capture special moments using the Main Camera, and there is the Story Camera, which happens to be a rear facing sub-camera, that will shoot you as well, embedding your picture into the main image eventually.

Not only that, the Story Highlights mode will intuitive create a highlight reel of images and video so that a customized movie is created, as it depicts a story as seen through the photographer’s eyes. Forget about using complex software to assemble such footage, although you can be sure that it will be an extremely bare bones example, and any other third party software should be able to perform a far more complex job than this. Other hardware specifications include Wi-Fi capability, a 5x optical zoom, a 24mm Wide-Angle f/1.8 lens, a 12.1-Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor and Canon’s DIGIC 6 image processor. Expect the Canon PowerShot N100 to arrive this May for $349.99 a pop in white or black shades. [Press Release]
