Konami's role in the New World Order?

Peace Sign = Broken Cross of Jesus Christ
Web link URL to explanation:
link to www.jesus-is-savior.com
Hideo Kojima wearing the broken cross and posing with two other men in what appears to be for the New World Order agenda? To me, even though it appears to be for Peace Walker promotion, there's something anti-Christ about it with all the broken cross signs.

Notice that Hideo Kojima looks serious in all these photos, it doesn't look like he's fooling around in my opinion. What do you guys think? Does it look like he's in on the the New World Order agenda?
Hideo Kojima's autograph (perhaps during Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker promotion): [

Is Hideo Kojima the anti-Christ? According to his Twitter account, he listens to a music group called Ultravox (which seems to be occult music)- the song he listens to is "Hymn". Ultravox also sings a song "Fear in the Western World" which lyrics are "Your picture of yourself is a media myth" and Jesus as Satan's lover and masterbation and New World Order-like circumstances. [

Also Hideo Kojima has ties with Sony Entertainment. Utada Hikaru also is or was with Sony Entertainment group I believe. Does Utada Hikaru seem demon possessed or Satan-possessed or Beast-possessed or Babylon-whore-possessed to you?
Does something about her seem kinda disturbing to you? Does she look like she's in a trance? Like something's off about her?
I recommended that her music video "Easy Breezy" is viewed in large screen mode in order to fully see what I perceive as "creepy" expressions on her face.
Utada Hikaru with a red Dragon background behind her in "Addicted to You" music video.
Also the Mantis boss ladies in MGS4 also seemed demon-possessed and in a trance. It appears to me that Hideo Kojima and Yumi Kikuchi, among other humans perhaps, look like they could be part of Monarch butterfly MK-ULTRA mind control- perhaps they use a microchip in order to easily induce demon-Satan-beast-possession or body snatching. However in Jesus' time, I don't think there were any microchips to induce demon possession, as in the Bible it states a demon threw a man down in Luke 4:35.
Hideo Kojima mentioned that he's currently working on "Ogre Project" which uses demons according to an article I read. I heard from one of his Hide-chan radio episodes, he mentions "akuma wo mita!" which I translate as "I saw the devil!".
I heard from a news article that the Yakuza in Japan say that they can tell who a fellow brother is because they have the "smell of the beast".

At the point I've gotten to, he is criticizing the idea of information theory. This sits well with me because I've never really understood information theory. As I basically get it, it's the idea that "information" is somehow the core currency of the universe. All things—sub-atomic particles, dogs and cats, human beings, galaxies—pass information to each other (according to the theory.) But what does the word information really mean?
Bloom separates the term "information" from "meaning." (I think I'm getting this right.) He applies the use of the term information that was devised by Claud Shannon, the inventor of information theory. In this use, information is more like a signal. For example, let's say I picked up the phone and heard a bunch of sentences in Japanese. These sentences (which are really sound waves that have been converted from the electronic signals of the phone line and system) are information. But they aren't meaning. Because I don't understand Japanese.
So, I guess, for things to have meaning, they have to be observed by a conscious agent. Well, not exactly, according to Bloom. Two sub-atomic particles like quarks can interact—they can attract or repulse each other—and even if they don't consciously feel anything (and Bloom says they don't and I tend to agree) they are still passing on meaning.
This is dense, complex stuff. It seems to me, ironically, to lead to the question of: what is the meaning of the word meaning? Of course as you define the word, you are defining your definition of the word, if that makes any sense. What a headache.
I think we can ignore some of these problems and at least theorize that appreciating meaning requires consciousness (contra to Bloom.) Basically we can say that humans can appreciate the meaning of a statement like "I'll meet you at 6 PM at Burger King." and sub atomic particles cannot. Humans mentally digest such a statement whereas quarks just kind of respond. But not every statement passed to humans is consciously appreciated; some meaning is passed only to human's sub-conscious. (Look up priming experiments
or the work of Micheal Gazzaniga for discussion on this.
) In this case we are sort of appreciating meaning in the way a quark would—un-consciously.
There's a knock against minimalism inherent in this theory. Minimalism is about using less—less musical notes, less colors and shapes etc—to make a point. If, according to my argument, complex art forms have lots of elements then art forms using less elements must be simpler and easier to grasp. And to some degree I do think minimalism became popular because —on one level—it's easier to digest. But I also think minimalism is pretty sophisticated. When Miles Davis or Chet Baker used silence in a solo they were actually focusing our attention on that silence, kind of saying, "this nothing is actually something." A lot of other modern composers and visual artists applied similar ideas. So what sounds empty and barren is kind of rich. But I freely admit, many people, myself at times, don't get this richness and let minimalistic music's use of space allow it to fade to the background.
There's another interesting angle to approach this from. At the end of this article I commented on an idea of Jaron Lanier's. He has a notion that modern communication technology (the internet, texting and so on) infantilizes us because it allows us to maintain a constant umbilical-cord-like connection to our fellows. We never have to be alone with ourselves. You could say this allows us to avoid confronting our essential aloneness, our separateness, not just from Mom but from the big guy, God. Is the music of Miles Davis asking us to confront our essential aloneness, even embrace it?]]>
I raise this question partly because of a few choice quotes I've seen in news articles from Sander's supporters who do say their second choice is Trump. And recent polls show Sanders would have a bigger lead over Trump than Clinton would over Trump (making the point that Sanders would be taking Trump voters.) I also note while browsing through facebook that I see a fair amount of people making comments that they are at least considering Trump as their second choice.
You often hear people argue that the left/right divide, as presented by the media, is incorrect. And mostly I don't buy that—it seems a pretty consistent way of predicting people's beliefs and voting patterns. But in this case, maybe there's something interesting going on.
I think that it is true that the media, academic and the political classes definitely missed the very real anger about trade deals that shuttered factories and the influx of illegal immigrants that (may have) cost American jobs. (The reason these groups probably missed this anger is because their jobs were never threatened.) And Sanders and Trump basically share positions on these issues.
The article linked above argues that synchronicity on trade and immigration issues is not enough for Sanders supporters to go Trump. But the media has a pretty poor record on Trump predictions so far.]]>
Foods like fruits, vegetables, coffee, tea, wine, yogurt and buttermilk can increase the diversity of bacteria in a person's intestines. And that diversity can help ward off illness, said Dr. Jingyuan Fu, senior author of one of the studies.
Now another idea I've talked about is the idea that carbs are bad. The report notes…
On the other hand, foods containing loads of simple carbohydrates appear to reduce bacterial diversity in the gut, Fu and colleagues found. These include high-fat whole milk and sugar-sweetened soda.
That's a bit of an odd statement about milk. To my understanding, milk's "high fatness" has nothing to do with its carb content which appears to be the problem. But I could be wrong.
Also advised: be wary of antibiotocs.
Johnson added that medicines can have the same effect, and antibiotics actually can kill off some important strains of gut bacteria. "One dose of an antibiotic may disrupt your gut bacteria for a year," he said.
Now, I'm the first to admit that we don't really understand the gut biome and they may be reversing all this advice in a few years, but this is what's being said right now. And as an avid coffee and wine drinker, I couldn't be happier (unless I had more wine.)]]>
Both Sanders and Trump, it seems, are against such agreements and think these agreements have screwed America. Clinton is a bit more complex—I think she was for them before she was against them. (That's probably a cheap shot but I couldn't resist.) The other Republicans are probably for the agreements though I don't know for sure.
So what is the right answer? The Sanders/Trump complaint is something like this, I believe, and I'll use US/Chinese trade relations as an example: The US is letting Chinese products in with few tariffs added on top. The Chinese can keep their prices low because their workers work for little and there are few environmental protections of the sort that American factories have to impose. So Chinese products are cheaper and can compete with US products in local and inetrnational markets.
The Sanders/Trump solution is, I believe, to renegotiate these trade agreements to impose tariffs on these Chinese products. (Sanders would probably lower tariffs if the Chinese added environmental protections, which would, of course, cost money.) As a result, Chinese products would become more expensive and US products would be better able to compete.
So would the Chinese go along with that? It seems they have a couple options. One is to kowtow to the new agreement and keep access to the US Market. Another is to say, "screw you guys," and focus on other markets like India, Africa, their own, etc. Another option would be to impose tariffs on our products, thus limiting US manufacturers appeal to the huge Chinese market. (The problem there is that while there are many Chinese, a lot of them are poor and thus not able to buy much.)
What would China do? I have no idea. Thinking about this stuff really makes me realize how little I know about it.
But here's my main thought. This kind of analysis of these is not something you really see in news coverage of the candidates, or in speeches from the candidates and their proxies. Most of the arguments seems to be that this candidate is better than another for some other reason – he or she is more "qualified," or has leadership qualities, or whatever.
So why is that? I suspect that for some kind of evolutionary reason people are wired towards cult leaders, not dudes who sit around explaining why their approach to trade agreements is better (YAWN!). If anything, we chose the guy we like, then talk ourselves into his ideas on trade agreements. And this would seem another example where our behavior is not particularly rational at all.
P.S. As a side note to all this I reaffirm my belief that the threat posed to Americans workings by fluid trade will be dwarfed by that of robotics, artificial intelligence and 3D printing.]]>
This is true for humans as well. On one level, humans exist in societies. These societies seems to have a kind of meta-intelligence that decides to move towards democratic governments or embrace Justin Bieber. (Hmmm…) On another level, each human is really a collection of trillions of cells. Just as the decisions of a society emerge from the choices of individual humans, so to do the decisions of human individuals emerge from a chorus of cells. Your wants and needs and opinions are really the result of millions (or more) of votes. (At least this is what I think the book is gearing up to argue, as others have before. I'm only about five chapters in.)
This idea, that we as individuals are the result of many, seems both exciting and disconcerting. I don't feel like a group, I feel like an individual. But we do have a certain sense of our compartmentalization. I say, "my stomach is telling me I'm hungry." "My hand is tired after thumb wrestling for hours." "My penis is aroused as it watches this naked woman walk by." (A regular occurrence in my life.) The "I" that is the storyteller of our lives is being informed by other parts of the body. And even if we observe just the brain/mind, we can suss out how information kind of rises up to our top decision maker. We're thinking of a way to solve a problem and the answer just arrives in a Eureka moment. Because a coterie of cells beneath our consciousness have been working at the problem and have arrived at an answer.
In theory, you could have some complex network of nodes, doing all sorts of calculations, without consciousness. That's basically what we presume a computer to be doing: thinking (in a way) without being aware of it. But we humans have consciousness riding atop all this. Attention is a big part of it. When we are hungry our attention turns to our hunger. When we are horny our attention turns to our horniness. The conscious attention is what makes us feel like an individual as opposed to a million voters.
Which leads to that most perplexing of questions: what is consciousness?]]>
Now it's 2016. Five years ago, the son in that scenario was let go from his shuttered factory. He's been looking for work ever since. Or maybe he's given up and become an alcoholic. Either way he feels betrayed. The unspoken promise society gave him was that if he played fair and worked hard he could live a comfortable life and take care of his family. That promise has been betrayed. He blames Mexicans for coming in and driving down wages and trade agreements that close factories on American shores and open them in countries with cheap labor.
This, I suspect, is a Donald Trump voter.
My question is whether things are about to get worse.
First, let's examine this guy's presumptions. Are Mexicans and bad trade agreements what screwed him? Well, maybe, I don't really know. But I don't think they will be the problems faced by that guy's kids. I suspect the problem of the future is technology: robotization and advanced software. You could even argue this is the problem of today.
…in a 2014 poll of leading academic economists conducted by the Chicago Initiative on Global Markets, regarding the impact of technology on employment and earnings, 43 percent of those polled agreed with the statement that "information technology and automation are a central reason why median wages have been stagnant in the U.S. over the decade, despite rising productivity," while only 28 percent disagreed. Similarly, a 2015 study by the International Monetary Fund concluded that technological progress is a major factor in the increase of inequality over the past decades.
The bottom line is that while automation is eliminating many jobs in the economy that were once done by people, there is no sign that the introduction of technologies in recent years is creating an equal number of well-paying jobs to compensate for those losses. A 2014 Oxford study found that the number of U.S. workers shifting into new industries has been strikingly small: in 2010, only 0.5 percent of the labor force was employed in industries that did not exist in 2000.
The gist of this argument is that it won't be Mexicans taking your job in the future (if they ever did), it will be robots.
This is a problem that I don't really see any of the candidates talking about. Partly, I suppose, because there's no obvious solution. People often talk about retraining people but as the text above notes, new jobs aren't keeping up with jobs lost. And I think there's a psychological component that makes people resistant to retraining. People associate their selves, their identities, with their job (sometimes a job that has run in their family for generations). When someone comes in and says, "OK, throw all that away and train to become a widget manufacturer," people are resistant. They don't want to give up their identities.]]>
The thief however was never really caught. He or she published under what was likely a pseudonym and no flesh and blood person can be connected to the name.
In a way, the scheme is rather obvious. There are millions of under-the-radar books out there—books that have been forgotten or never had much of a fan base. Why not publish them under a new title and try and reap the benefits? (Well, if you ignore the ethical reasons.)
I wonder if down the line it will be easy enough to get software to do all the dirty work. You design a piece of software to create thousands of fake accounts and then upload pilfered books to the Amazon store using these accounts? Maybe you don't make much but something is more than nothing.]]>
It all leads me to wonder whether's there's an interesting schism in the world of ethics that can be explored. I break it down to this…
On one hand, we've been trying to use logic and empiricism to figure out the proper ethics for living in our world. We've been trying to figure out if there is a god and what he wants, or whether or not ethics can be somehow divined the way the law of gravity or the boiling point of water were deduced from observation. And I would have to say that these efforts have all failed. There's no convincing proof of god, nor is there any proof of any sort of built in moral ruleset to the universe. (I refer to my timeless piece on Arthur Leff for more thoughts related to this.)
On the other side, we do seem to have some kind or moral behavior encoded into us (probably via evolution.) By this I mean, behaviors generally thought of as immoral—drowning a baby, for example—provoke a negative response in our bodies when we seriously contemplate performing them*. Morality seems to be built into our brains in some way
* This isn't true for everyone, of course; psychopaths being an obvious exception.
So it's the age old battle between the heart and the brain. We intellectually recognize the moral emptiness of the world but refuse to acknowledge this because our bodies revolt.]]>
Adams further notes, as does common sense, that Trump is not the only politician to do this. All, to varying degrees, use this kind of persuasion to get elected.
Now, that argument really needs to be unpacked and examined before we can sign off on it. But I'll say here that it at least feels right. Most political debates don't have the feel of people arguing about math, they have a great deal of emotional element.
If Adams is right, does this not point to a deep flaw in democracy? Democracy is based on a kind of "wisdom of the masses," but if the masses are easily manipulated dum-dums, should we not consider a different form of government?
Now, of course, "what is the best form of government?" is a question humanity has sought to answer for centuries and every system of government has had flaws. Monarchy is ok until you get a idiot king. Oligarchy has similar problems. I don't really know the answer here but I start to find myself suspicious of the 'rah-rah" approach most take to democracy, as if it's clearly the superior system.
There's a point madde in the book "Soul Machine" that ties into this. The author notes that "Locke's tabula rasa gave philosophical and scientific standing to Thomas Jefferson's proclamation that "all men are created equal."" John Locke had argued that people are born as a blank slate and how they developed was determined by their environment. Put a kid in the right environment and he could be a genius scientist, put him in the wrong environment and he becomes a dull-witted criminal. But at the start, everyone has equal talents.
Now, two and a half centuries after Jefferson's pronouncement, we know that genes do have some affect on people's abilities. People are not created equal, some are intrinsically smarter, or more empathic, or intuitive than others. Thus a cornerstone for Jefferson's case for democracy has fallen.]]>

A Giant Behind Bars: The Life Of Plaxico Burress
6 years ago
The man who used to wear No. 17 for the New York Giants and caught the most famous touchdown pass in team history passes through a massive steel door, and now he is walking toward you. He has green prison-issue pants and a blue-shirted corrections officer with him step for step, as if the guy were a defensive back. The irony isn't lost on No. 17, who used to run free in secondaries, a 6-5, 230-pound handful, and now can't shake free of anybody.
Once inside the visitor's room of Oneida Correctional Facility, the officer heads to the guard station. Plaxico Burress sits down at a little square table. He looks straight ahead at the three brown gates, razor-wired walkway and two metal doors that separate Oneida's 955 inmates from the outside world, and starts talking about his son Elijah.
Elijah is 3 years old and a big Giants fan. He watches most every game, with a helmet on his head, a ball under his arm, and, of course, a No. 17 Burress jersey on his back. He cheers for Brandon Jacobs, his father's best friend on the team, and for all the guys. Mostly, though, Elijah keeps asking his father why he isn't home and why he doesn't play for the Giants anymore.
"What do I tell him? How am I supposed to answer those questions?" Burress asks at the outset of a 90-minute interview, his first with a print reporter since he went away. He touches the soul patch on his chin and looks down for a moment.

LC-MS/MS is used for the quantification of target proteins in pharma/biopharma and clinical research. This approach generally relies on the use of synthetic isotopically labeled proteins and peptides which are used as internal standards for the quantification of the corresponding target compound. This application note demonstrates the determination of proteins and peptides by the absolute quantitation of P and S heteroatoms using the Agilent 8800 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS in MS/MS mass shift mode.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – A man was arrested early Thursday morning after leading Dallas County sheriff's deputies on a high-speed chase through parts of west Dallas. The incident began just after 3:30 a.m. when authorities tried to stop the suspect for speeding. The vehicle took off and deputies followed.
The suspect, in a Lexus, hit speeds of more than 80 mph at times, and eventually crashed out along Chalk Hill Road, near Interstate-30. But that man then jumped out of the vehicle and started to flee on foot. He was apprehended after an intense search by deputies, assisted by members of the Dallas Police Department and the DPD's helicopter.
Authorities found a bag of stolen GPS units in the back of the suspect's vehicle.
The man's name has not been released. Officials have not stated what charges he might now face.
Two teenage girls — ages 15 and 17 — were also inside of the vehicle when it crashed. They were taken to Children's Medical Center in Dallas with minor injuries. Their relationships to the suspect are not known.

Andrew Hutchens, Associated Press
ORLAND, Calif. — A FedEx tractor-trailer crossed over a grassy median on a Northern California freeway and slammed into a bus carrying more than 40 high school students in an explosive crash that left 10 people dead, authorities said.
Among the students on the trip to visit Humboldt State University was Steven Clavijo, 18, a senior at West Ranch High in Santa Clarita, who planned to enroll in the school. Just as Clavijo was trying to catch a nap Thursday afternoon, he said he felt the big vehicle begin to shake from left to right and then he heard a loud boom.
"We knew we were in major trouble," he said.
Both the bus and semi driver were among those killed in the fiery crash, authorities said.
Many of those on the bus escaped through a window that someone had kicked open, Clavijo said, running for their lives to the other side of Interstate 5 before hearing an explosion and seeing the bus burst into flame.
Two more explosions soon followed, he said, and he and other survivors looked on knowing others were still trapped in an inferno.
Massive flames could be seen devouring both vehicles just after the crash, and clouds of smoke billowed into the sky until firefighters doused the fire, leaving behind scorched black hulks of metal. Bodies were draped in blankets inside the burned-out bus.
In addition to the drivers, three adult chaperones and five teenage students were killed in the crash, according to the California Highway Patrol. Their identities were not immediately released. The bus carried between 44 and 48 students, four chaperones and the driver, the patrol said.
Eric M. Weiss, a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board, said a multi-disciplinary team of highway crash experts left on a flight Friday morning for the crash scene.
The crash happened a little after 5:30 p.m. on the interstate near Orland, a small city about 100 miles north of Sacramento.
The bus was one of two that the admissions office at Humboldt State University had chartered to bring prospective students from Southern California to tour the Arcata campus, Humboldt's Vice President of Administrative Affairs Joyce Lopes said.
The bus was owned by Silverado Stages, a tour bus company based in San Luis Obisbo. The company said in a statement on its website Thursday night that it was assisting authorities in gathering information.
"Our top priority is making sure that the injured are being cared for," the company said.
Humboldt State President Rollin Richmond issued a statement on the school's website. "Our hearts go out to those who have been affected, and we are here to support them, and their families, in any way possible," Richmond said.
The students came from a number of Southern California high schools and Humboldt spokesman Simon Chabel said the college was working to confirm where in Southern California all the were from.
Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent John Deasy said late Thursday night that an unknown number of students from Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools were on the trip and possibly students from Manual Arts Senior High School, Banning High School and Augustus F. Hawkins High School. He did not know whether they were on the bus involved in the crash. District officials were headed up to the crash site Friday, said spokeswoman Gayle Pollard-Terry.
A high school senior from Alliance Renee & Meyer Luskin Academy High School in Los Angeles said she and a few of her classmates who were accepted to the university were invited to go on the tour.
Sabrina Garcia said the tour began Thursday, with buses taking students in Southern California on the ride to the campus for a three-day stay there. She said she decided to postpone the tour because she had a school project to complete.
"I was devastated when I heard about the crash, and relieved that I didn't attend," Garcia said. "I can't imagine how those kids feel. You think you're going somewhere safe with your school — and you end up in an accident."
A CHP dispatcher says the bus and truck were on opposite sides of the freeway when the truck crossed the median and slammed into the bus, causing an explosion and fire.
Investigators say the truck driver might have been trying to avoid a passenger car that was also involved in the crash, which shut down north- and south-bound traffic on the freeway.
"There was a small white sedan in front of the truck," Heitman said. "The FedEx vehicle did sideswipe the sedan before it crossed the median."
No one in the car was injured.
A first responder who helped set up a triage at the scene said 36 or 37 people received injuries ranging from minor to severe burns, broken legs and noses, and head lacerations.
"The victims were teenage kids. A lot of them were freaked out. They were shocked. They still couldn't grasp what happened," said Jason Wyman of the Orland Volunteer Fire Department.
Eleven people were taken to Enloe Medical Center in Chico, hospital officials said. Two of those patients were listed in critical condition Friday morning.
Five people were taken to Mercy Medical Center in Redding in fair condition. Two patients were taken to University of California, Davis, Medical Center in critical condition. One patient died at 10:30 p.m. Thursday bringing the death toll from nine to 10.
A nursing supervisor said three people were taken to Oroville Hospital in Oroville. She declined to describe their conditions, citing patient privacy laws.
Bonnie Kourvelas, a FedEx spokeswoman, said in a statement Thursday night: "Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in the tragic accident on I-5 in California. We are cooperating fully with authorities as they investigate."
The American Red Cross set up a relief station at a Veterans Memorial Hall community center in Orland, about 5 miles from the crash site. Officer Joel Lynch said seven victims who were not hospitalized with injuries were staying the night with about 25 volunteers. A community member ordered pizza for the students.

Despite regulations, the amount of money spent in mainland China on prepaid cards is expected to triple in size by 2013. At the end of 2011, the multi-purpose pre-paid card market was valued at 96.5 billion RMB and is due to reach an astounding 300 billion RMB by the end of next year. A key driver of this sector is the gift card category with demand rising from both retail and corporate categories. To take advantage of this growth, enterprises are encouraged to enter the market quickly; expand into second and third tier cities; and, consider diversifying payment methods e.g. online and mobile phone payments. Businesses can find out more about this industry, including who and what is driving growth, at the Prepaid & Loyalty Programme conference held on 27 March 2013 at CARTES Asia – the leading exhibition and conference dedicated to secure solutions for payment, identification and mobility. CARTES Asia takes place 27 – 28 March 2013 at AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong.
Mr Long Wang, CEO of Silone, mainland China said:"Silone has been involved in the pre-paid gift card industry since 2000 and for the past five years we have seen a significant year on year growth in mainland China. We're exhibiting at CARTES Asia as it is a great opportunity for us to meet new customers, network with existing clients and raise awareness of our company's new offerings."
Isabelle Alfano, CARTES Events Director says: "Prepaid cards solve lots of problems facing merchants, governments and consumers across the world. In mainland China, the majority of consumers use prepaid cards for convenience and to gain shopping discounts."
Enterprises need to equip themselves with knowledge on how to take advantage of this huge growing market while being aware of governmental policies and restrictions. CARTES Asia is a good place to start as it's where buyers and suppliers of smart card technology from across the world converge to learn more about innovation and trends across the industry – especially Asia Pacific," added Alfano.

Sony QX10 hands-on: Give your smartphone 10x optical zoom
It's fair to say that everyone knew Sony had something special lined up for the IFA 2013 reveal and for those interested in better smartphone photography, the new lens-style cameras are pretty special. Well, they're unique and a sign that Sony is still prepared to try something new and we're always in favour of that.
The Sony QX10 is the smaller of the two new lens-style cameras. Where the QX100 offers a 1-inch, 20-megapixel sensor with a Zeiss lens, the QX10 is a smaller 1/2.3 type sensor, the sort of thing you'd find in a typical travel zoom compact camera.
READ: Sony QX100 pictures and hands-on
That's because, basically, it's a Sony Cyber-shot WX200, but without the body. The Sony G lens glass and sensor stays, while the rest is ditched, apart from those essentials needed to connect this lens to the smartphone controlling it, and the memory and battery that power it.
The big sell of the QX10 is the 10x optical zoom, along with optical image stabilisation. This practically gets around the ills of digital zoom, by giving you a lens that can do it properly, without the typical loss of quality that digital zoom brings.
We got the chance to play with a prototype of the Sony QX10 and the QX100 before their announcement, although we weren't able to take away any images for closer examination: that will come in the full review as soon as we can.
However, we did get to sample the connection and attachment process. The wireless connection is simply a case of tapping your NFC-enabled device against the QX10 to trigger connection. The Sony PlayMemories Mobile app then swings in to take over control of the lens accessory. The app is available for Android, iOS and Kindle, so you'll be able to use a range of devices with the QX10.
As for attachment, the QX10 comes with a mounting bracket. This will attach to your smartphone, supporting devices up to 13mm thick and with a width between 54 and 75mm, so will accommodate phablets and some tablets too.
This mount can be left on your device, ready to accept the lens when you want to attach it, at which point you effectively have a compact camera, with the smartphone providing all the settings and controls.
This arrangement means you can easily separate the two components too, and as the QX10 is connected wirelessly, it doesn't have to be physically attached to use it. That makes it ideal for using remotely, perhaps for setting up shots in tight spaces, or triggering capture remotely.
There's a battery and a microSD card packed into the QX10, along with a zoom toggle and shutter button on the barrel of the lens for independent use.
With a compact camera sensor and proper lens at its heart, we'd expect the performance to be better than your average smartphone, but the real sell is that zoom: head to the zoo, or that BBQ, and you'll be able to get closer to the action with ease.
While the QX100, the more expensive of the lens-style cameras pair, will put quite a bulge in your pocket, the slimmer and cheaper Sony QX10 is probably small enough to slip into a jacket pocket without really noticing it.
Priced at £179, it's a fairly hefty price tag, but it will effectively replace your compact camera entirely. We like the bold moves from Sony, but we'll need to live with it for a while before we decide whether it's the solution we really want.

I'm always looking for an ornament that commemorates something special from that year for each family member, and there are always lots to choose from. I used to spend so much time looking in stores to find the perfect ornament. Now it just takes me a few minutes and with a quick search I find lots of great options. This year I got the Frosty the Snow Man potty seat ornament for my little girl who just finished potty training. It's so cute!! I will for sure be back again next year! Jeannette G."
12/1/2015 - "I am so happy with my purchase! It is a tradition to give my children an ornament each Christmas. I buy them to represent something special or a milestone that happened during the year. I was so impressed with Ornament Shop's incredible selection! I found the perfect ornament for each of my 4 children. They were very reasonably priced, especially considering each was personalized. They arrived quickly and were even better in person than I'd ever hoped. The website was super easy to use as well. I will definitely be returning next year! Marilee P."
