| Canon PIXMA mini260 photo inkjet printer
White, rounded, portable, and armed with a scroll wheel, the Canon Pixma mini260 is reminiscent of Apple's iPod. And like the popular music device, this printer is a good companion to any Mac. This modestly priced compact printer produces high-quality 4-by-six-inch snapshots quickly and quietly. It also includes a few extra perks that make it appealing to more discerning shooters. The mini260 prints best on several different types of Canon photo paper including matte, glossy, and pro varieties. Canon offers a $28 package that includes 100 sheets of its glossy 4-by-6 photo paper and a three-color cartridge, for a cost per print of 28 cents. Thanks to Canon's ChromaLife100 system, the mini260's prints look excellent: the colors are accurate; the images are crisp and clear; overall, the photos look professional.
JVC introduces high-resolution fixed IP network camera
JVC Professional Europe has extended its IP camera product line up with the introduction of a new high-resolution fixed IP network camera, model VN-V25U. The VN-V25U comes in a 23% smaller enclosure than its predecessor the VN-C20U and incorporates advanced electronics for IP surveillance.
The VN-V25U produces superior image quality and the camera provides full motion dual stream VGA resolution for both Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 images at 30 frames per second (fps). Here, operators are able to view images in real-time and at a low bandwidth MPEG-4. When an alarm is triggered, the camera can stream real-time Motion JPEG images for continuous and high quality recording.
The Wide-D function incorporated inside the camera is the equivalent to the conventional wide dynamic range function found inside traditional analogue CCTV cameras and allows pictures to be adjusted to identify details of the subject even in backlit conditions.
Hot chocolate rapist in court
In the first set of charges he faces, Barkas is accused of drugging women to "date rape" them. In the second brief of evidence, which has led to his notorious nickname, he is alleged to have bought the women a hot chocolate spiked with a disabling drug. His lawyer, Theo Magazis, told Melbourne Magistrates Court this morning that the case should be adjourned until next month so that both sets of police briefs can be dealt with at the same time. Magistrate Felicity Broughton remanded Barkas in custody until January 25 and noted that he did not apply for bail. Barkas, of South Yarra, was arrested in August and charged with attacking 24 women between 1990 and 2005. In October, he was charged with attacking a further six women after police applied to take DNA from him to check against that found on a dress and bed sheets provided by two new alleged victims.

DHS grads put video skills to work for trinity of sport teams
If anyone had told 20-year-old Jared Rita in high school that he would be attending Super Bowl XLII, staying in the same hotel as the New England Patriots and working with the video crew on the sidelines, he might have laughed. But the 2005 graduate of Dartmouth High School will find himself doing just this Sunday. Jonathan Gotlib, 21 — Jared's best friend and fellow '05 DHS graduate — has also been enjoying some pretty remarkable company lately. He's been at the TD Banknorth Garden filming Celtics and Bruins games, just feet away from the athletes he used to watch from the other side of the camera on television. .
Fraud US-Style: Fake Videos and Elections
First the videos with bin Laden ones Exhibit A. He always seems to pop up strategically at well-timed moments, almost like we planned it that way. Evidence points that way. Consider the one on Friday (September 7) before the sixth 9/11 anniversary in 2007. Digital image forensics expert, Neal Krawetz of Hactor Factor, said it was full of low quality visual and audio splices, a likely fake. Striking also was bin Laden's beard that was gray in recent images. In this video, it's black. In addition, the footage has him dressed in a white hat and shirt and yellow sweater, precisely his same attire on an October 29, 2004 video. In addition, the background, lighting, desk and camera angle are the same. Krawetz noted that "if you overlay the 2007 and 2004 videos, bin Laden's face is the same (unaged).
