Several weeks ago, I took a look at Nikon's CoolPix P2 Wi-Fi camera. My conclusion was that the camera's bonus Wi-Fi capabilities didn't do a lot to augment its appeal. Kodak's approach was to make a connected Wi-Fi device that does a lot of things- taking pictures is just one of them. By presenting this not as a camera but as a whole new way of managing and sharing pictures, Kodak succeeds where Nikon failed...
...British army closed the observation post that had taken up the top two floors of their drab apartment block in West Belfast for more than 30 years. Not Joe Lavelle. As his guided tour passed on the road below, soldiers used to wave on cue when passengers pointed their cameras from the open top of their double-decker bus. Now, as a mark of the peace that's slowly settled over Northern Ireland, the troopers and their fortified outpost are gone. "It's like going to Paris and not having the Eiffel Tower," sighs Lavelle. There's more tourism than...
...glimpse of a live giant squid in the wild. The cephalopod's reign as the Greta Garbo of the undersea world, however, is over: last week two Japanese scientists?Tsunemi Kubodera and Kyoichi Mori?published the first photographs of a giant squid in action, captured by a robotic camera 900 m below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. For obsessive squid hunters, it's the scientific equivalent of Captain Ahab finally getting his white sperm whale...
...main predators of giant squid, and the Japanese found the squid by following the whales off the Ogasawara islands, about 1,000 km south of Tokyo. Starting in 2002, the team searched for squid in the area for around two weeks every year, lowering into the waters a digital camera and weighted hooks baited with common squid and mashed shrimp. Depth mattered: the giant squid were believed to live about 1,000 m down. "At that point, our squid-watching turned unmistakably into squid-hunting," says Kubodera. No squid took the bait until Sept. 30, 2004, when...
...Orleans should have been shot at by the police to maintain civilized order. Taking food and water from a grocery store in order to survive is understandable, but stealing luxury items just because there is an opportunity to do so is criminal. I hope that those caught on camera will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Arline McFarlane West Vancouver, Canada...
