When commenting goes wrong

Wisam Al-Rawi — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 13:50:13 +0000

The transition to Michigan kept me busy for the past few months and while I was relying on the commenting notification system to let me know as soon as someone post a comment, it seems the system went wrong long before that. Although comments approval has been disabled long time ago; however, no comments were posted. Sorry if you have made a post and did not see you comment. I put all the comments online. Hopefully that does not happen again but we would certainly appreciate letting us know.

Has Apple lost its innovation? We are dropping support for iOS apps

Wisam Al-Rawi — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 22:40:43 +0000

We give credit for Apple for their innovation with the iPhone / iPad and laying down the way to how smart phones / tablets should be like, however, recently Apple has waged a war against Android after all the success it got. Not only the phones were targeted but the tablet as well. http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/01/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-sales-halted-in-australia-by-apple-suit/
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/09/german-apple-suit-ruling-blocks-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-sale-in/
With all the support from different vendors and to name few: HTC, Samsung, Motorolla. Android has gained a lot of market share in the mobile arena. Android has beaten Apple to sales of devices according to recent NPD study.
While it is common these days that companies file lawsuits against each other; however, Apple has put a ‘hostile and organized campaign’ against Android. Although HTC has been targeted in the past however, most of the current injunctions are targeting Samsung both their Galaxy S phone and Galaxy 10.1 Tab. The pictures in the injunctions has been manipulated to make Samsung products mimic Apple products.
We work in the education business and we embrace Google’s moto “Don’t Be Evil”. Our goal is to teach and educate. Personally although we develop for Apple platform but we use Android (both phone and tablet) for doing our day to day work.
We love Koreans and Samsung. Their products rivals Apple in quality if not exceeding it.. Our main focus will be from now on towards building innovative oral radiology and dental apps for Google and Microsoft platforms. Both of which has a long track record for philanthropic support for education which is a place completely unknown to Apple. Given the current circumstances and unless Apple goes back to innovation rather than fighting through litigation we are cutting support for our iOS apps.

Carestream Dental debuts the CS 9300 Cone Beam CT

Wisam Al-Rawi — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 19:07:43 +0000

[See post to watch Flash video]

Carestream Dental has released a new CBCT machine namely the CS 9300. The new CBCT has small and medium fields of views suitable for different dental applications. It also combines a panoramic sensor with an optional ceph arm to cover different dental imaging needs.

We had a talk with Jordan Reiss, US Sales director:

“I am very proud to announce the release the CS 9300 for sale and delivery in the US! The CS 9300 is the long-awaited panoramic and cone beam CT machine designed to fit the needs for all oral healthcare providers, regardless of their specialty. Combining high resolution, fast scan times, 7 fields of view to choose from, ease of use, and a dedicated panoramic acquisition the CS 9300 is an exciting addition to the Carestream Dental portfolio.

I was honored to be chosen to present the initial showing of the CS 9300 at the California Dental Association meeting in Anaheim, CA to literally hundreds of attendees. In the limited time that we’ve offered the system, we have a large number of orders lined up and we will begin shipping units to customers next week.

The CS 9300 increases the already fantastic line-up of cone beam CT units offered by Carestream Dental as we now have an option for customers that need more fields of view to choose from for their CBCT imaging while maintaining the ability to acquire a high resolution panoramic image. This unit in no way replaces the Kodak 9000 3D system, although it can offer an Endodontist the high resolution they require at 90μm (microns) and with FOV as small as 5 cm x 5 cm (with both a ‘Normal’ and ‘High’ resolution mode) and Orthodontists, Oral Surgeons a 17 cm x 13.5 cm field of view too.

Additionally, the CS 9300 delivers 2D digital panoramic imaging with variable focal trough technology as it uses a different technology that uses layered technology reducing focal trough issues that plague many linear panoramic systems.

The CS 9300 is an exciting new product for Carestream Dental and I encourage you to contact me with any questions. More information can be found at: http://www3.carestreamdental.com/3dimaging/9300

An interactive CS 9300 showing multiple fields of view with clinical applications can be found at: http://www.carestreamdental.com/pages/cs9300/index.htm

If you have any questions or comments, please let me know.
