It will be interesting to know how fast those lenses react to sudden changes of light. For example when driving from a dark tunnel right into sunny open road conditions or vice-verse.

Comment On battery efficiency based solely on TDP (Score 1) 189
Let us consider 3rd and 4th gen Intel Mobile Processors with 4 physical cores. As you can infere, we are focusing on energy efficiency for high performance mobile processors.
The TDP (Thermal Design Power) for 3rd and 4th gen
3rd gen (Ivy Bridge)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_Bridge_(microarchitecture)#Mobile_processors
35 to 55 Watts
4th gen (Haswell)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haswell_(microarchitecture)#Mobile_processors
47 to 57 Watts (probably 37 Watt versions will appear)
I cannot see the "huge energy efficiency improvement". Maybe Haswell changes from high power state to low power state faster than 3rd Gen (which is good indeed) but that does not matter to the eyes of my examination.
Moon Mining Race Under Way 150
New submitter rujholla writes "The race to the moon is back! This time, though, it's through private enterprise. Google has offered a $20m grand prize to the first privately-funded company to land a robot on the moon and explore the surface (video) by moving at least 500 meters and sending high definition video back to Earth by 2015."
