Canon, according to the dictionary means is a general law, rule, principle or criterion; church decree or law; member of cathedral chapter; body of writings accepted as genuine.
Now what I am talking about is a company that manufactures user-friendly products! Canon the camera making company that now gives varied other products and services to the world such as printers, inks and fax machines and copiers!
Canon's Roots
Canon's roots were laid in 1933 with very few employees as a precision optical instruments lab. The Laboratory was founded in 1933 in a third-floor apartment of the Takekawaya Building in Roppongi, Azabu Ward, Tokyo. Its objective was to produce high-grade cameras.
A young man named Goro Yoshida, a passionate camera-lover; and his brother-in-law, Saburo Uchida, set up the Laboratory jointly. Their aim was to make cameras that could compete with the German models that were considered the most advanced of the day.
They started by analyzing existing cameras, which were difficult to obtain. Systematically, they studied each camera's internal workings, examined mechanisms, drew up design diagrams and procured parts. Takeshi Mitarai, a close friend of Uchida provided the funds required for the research. Mitarai later became president of the company and built its foundation.

It then went on to become a renowned camera making company. When it grew and decided to diversify its business plans it had to shed its image of a company that manufactured only cameras, therefore the top brass of the company decided to take on the name Canon Inc in 1969. The year1969 was also the year that canon forayed into business machines and eventually into the printing business.
Product Chronology
To go through a brief chronology of Canon's printing and copying history - Canon successfully developed the laser beam printer in 1975. In 1982, the PC-10 and PC-20, the world's first personal copying machines with replaceable cartridges, were introduced. Canon, in collaboration with IBM Japan, Ltd., developed the world's first notebook PC with an installed printer in 1993.
Bubble Jet Discovery
One of canon's most interesting discoveries in the field of printing technology was the bubble jet printing technology. Researchers while working on the inkjet printing technology hit upon the discovery when a hot solder gun accidentally touched the tip of an ink-filled needle due to which ink sprayed out! Therefore, the researchers concluded that heat instead of pressure could be used to eject the ink on the media
Laser Beam Printing
Another important technology in the field of printing by Canon was the development of laser beam printers (LBP). It started research on laser as a means of writing as early as 1962. However it was unable to develop a practical laser source and hence could not acquire the patents it had applied for due to which the research and development was suspended.
In the 1970s when lasers came into practical application fields Canon resumed its research on laser beam printers and developed the LBP's of today combining their electro photographic technologies with laser technology.
The development of lasers imprinting also gave birth to a number of high-speed copy machines by Canon such as The NP-8500, the world's first retention-type copying machine in 1978.
The NP-8500 SUPER, an ultrahigh speed-copying machine capable of producing 135 copies per minute 1981; and the PC-10 and PC-20, the world's first personal copying machines with replaceable cartridges were introduced by Canon in 1982.
In 1984 Canon gave the world its LBP-8/CX, the smallest and lightest laser beam printer.
Today Canon develops technology that couples direct printing options from Cell phones equipped with a digital camera, hence integrating printing technology with photography! One such latest technology is the direct wireless printing from a camera! The printing is achieved using infrared and Bluetooth communication technology embedded in the cell phones or PCs. Being wireless no cables are required, and the image quality parallels that of printouts from PCs using memory cards.
One important feature Canon uses to achieve real true to life image quality on paper is:
Color reproduction: The color range of digital cameras (YCC) is much wider, making it possible to capture a vast amount of color information when shooting. To achieve similar quality Canon added red ink and green ink, which offers high brightness and chromaticity, to the six existing inks in their inkjet printers, raising the saturation of the red and green output range by 1.6 times and 1.2 times respectively. The result is photo image output with improved depth and translucence, and color reproduction comparable to that of prints from photo film.

I know this isn't exactly tech but here at the Daily Tech Dose we care about the environment and love cars. You may have already heard of VW’s 1 liter car, but take a closer look. It’s a sports economy concept car produced a few years ago by VW engineers, to answer one big question: could they build a car that consumes less than 3 liters of fuel for every 100 km traveled?It turns out they could, but they didn’t stop there. Instead, VW blew over that goal to create a car that uses only 1 liter of fuel for every 100 km! That’s 285 Miles Per Gallon! Only if Chevy or Chyrsler could do this.They would not need the bailout money.
The UFO phenomona has fuelled our imagination for decades.
The very idea of beings from another planet or galaxy visting us is either alluring reality or fanciful tripe, depending on your mindset.

Fact is we probably all want magic, whether or not this is wrapped in a shiny stainless steel machine is problematic, and while most of those who believe have never come close to experiencing anything first hand, it doesn't stop millions from being disciples of the Book According to UFO.
From as early as the turn of the 20th century, photographs (and much later actually footage) has made its way to the masses under the guise of alien visitations - most of such poor quality that even hardened anaylsts have a tough time deciding if they're the real deal or just a fake.
But there's something strange about UFO's, something that makes us want to believe.
And while their maybe alien life out there - for now at least - some of us, no matter how much was want to believe, still need concrete evidence to prove it.

I vividly recall taking ownership of our first Apple Mac 20 or so years ago (perhaps a little more) and instantly falling in love.
Until that time we'd struggled with a convoluted set of start up codes and log-in's (which by today's standards seem ludicrous) but which were part and parcel of owning a PC - back in the day.
I also have a fond recall of friends and acquaintances who expressed either their sorrow or disbelief in our choice of hardware - believing it would go the way of the technically superior but ultimately doomed BetaMax video system.
In fact - there were times when our children were growing up that some parents had the audacity to suggest that we were depriving our kids of learning experiences because of the limited amount of software available to Apple users.
We stuck to our guns - in the belief that what was right for us was . . . well right for us. Sure there were some limitations - but as we always plumped for creativity over book keeping - we were steadfast in our belief.
The fact is - our friends began to change their own minds as they noticed something quite outside the generational shift which was happening. Seems that fans of the Bill Gates appreciation society noticed that all of a sudden the newest, bright and shiny software being launched by the Microsoft was in fact stuff which was a rip off of something which had already been part and parcel of the Apple users' world for at least 12 months - sometimes longer.

Of course, with the advent of itunes, imovie, garage band, the ipod, ipad yaddah yaddah, it would be easy to say 'told ya so' but we like to think that everyone should have choice. Both systems have their pluses - both have their minuses - but to those who felt compelled to commit us to a colony of technical lepers all those years ago - perhaps it's time to re-think.
Dell doesn’t say as much, but its new aluminium-clad XPS 15z all-rounder is a stealthy attempt to snuff Apple’s MacBook Pro. We compare the specs to see who comes off best.
Until this week, Apple was the only company that offered a deluxe all-rounder notebook with a base covered entirely in aluminium. But all of a sudden the new Dell XPS 15z (U510502AU) is on the scene, sheathed in its schmick anodized aluminium case, and we couldn’t resist matching it up against the MacBook Pro 15in (MC721X/A).
