NASA Orders Nikon D3S

NASA just placed an order for eleven Nikon D3S digital SLR cameras and seven AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lenses to be used for photographic documentation. I am trying to figure out this equation. It seems to me to be the package of hot dogs / package of hot dog buns dilemma.

That should hold them over for a little while :-)

My Hero

This guy is my hero! He takes his iMac to Panera to use the free Internet connection.

According to Gizmodo, he does this on a regular basis. This guy is my hero!

Predator Drone Hacked

What genius thought that an unencrypted signal a Predator Drone was a good idea?

Iraqi insurgents are able to intercept live video feeds from the Predator drones using a $26 Windows application called SkyGrabber. It allows them to track the pilotless aircraft undetected.

Unbelievable!

Camera Lens Mug

This is the best coffee mug ever. If this ever came to market I would certainly buy one!

Unbelievable

This is an amazing story. A skydiving instructor dropped a Canon XT 3000 feet and it still worked.

Canon should use this in their ads.

Makes Me Want To Cry

This makes me want to cry. This is security at the Jerusalem airport. If you don't answer their questions properly, they will fill your Macbook full of bullets. What is really amazing is that the hard drive still worked after this.

27 Inch iMac Delays

This is not good news with the holiday season upon us. Apple has delayed shipments of their new 27" iMac due to problems. The latest is a flickering display which has been attributed to a graphics card issue. A number of these iMacs have arrived with a cracked screen.

In the end, Apple will make this right. It just might take a little while.
