Today Capcom has launched a new update coming to Resident Evil 6 along with the announcement of the PC version coming in March of next year (via GI).
The update includes changes to the game’s infamous camera, co-op and various modes. Capcom seems to be answering some of the community’s biggest complaints about the title with QTE assist and stage selection on top of the aforementioned camera adjustments. Now players will be able to zoom the game camera in and out at will as well as having “the option to automatically complete most QTE events.”

As cameras and smartphones continue to improve, they are quickly replacing our everyday point-and-shoot cams. The iPhone is no exception, with its recent upgrade to a redesigned 8-megapixel camera system in the iPhone 4S earning approval from celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz. It even beat out a $3,000 Canon in a comparison test.
When author Walter Isaacson sat down with Fortune to talk about the ‘Steve Jobs’ bio, he noted Jobs wanted to reinvent three key industries: TV, textbooks, and photography. While we already have insight into his possible plans for a television, and the book sheds light on meetings with publishers to transform the textbook industry, we’re not too sure what Jobs envisioned for his reinvention of photography.

You know what little green light on the bezel of your MacBook, iMac, Apple wireless keyboard, or Magic Trackpad that turns on whenever your built-in iSight camera is on? Well, a story from Bloomberg Businessweek takes us through the process of how Apple makes the light almost invisible to the human eye when inactive.
The story starts with Apple design chief Jony Ive. Around five years ago, Ive decided a small green light above the display would be ideal to let a user know when the camera is active. The problem was they couldn’t shine light through Apple’s solid, one-piece unibody aluminum casing. The solution?
