Lockheed Martin has been hard at work getting the Orion space capsule ready for its first unmanned launch, scheduled for sometime in 2014. The first manned launch was supposed to happen two years later, but it’s now been pushed back, dragging manned deep-space exploration along with it.
Compact digital cameras are dime a dozen, and it has been rather hard picking out a clear winner from the many models in a particular product category all these years, and even with Panasonic’s most recent release, the Panasonic Lumix ZS20, life has not gotten any easier either.

Today, new details have emerged to corroborate these claims about Redmond’s forthcoming update, which will reportedly support a wider range of languages than its Mango -flavored predecessor.
