| Marriage processions on main roads banned
He asked the marriage palace owners to inform the police if the hosts of marriage parties did not comply with the orders otherwise they would themselves be booked for the violation. The SSP held a meeting with owners of 65 marriage palaces in and around the city. He said his major concern behind holding the meeting was traffic and security reasons. He also asked them to put close-circuit cameras in the parking, main hall, at the entrance and exit points. They were also directed to install metal detectors at the entrance. The hosts would be required to identify their guests so that no unwanted person got inside the marriage palace and create trouble. The SSP also asked the owners to get the police verification done of the staff working in the palace. The owners should have all past records of the worker along with his photograph and permanent address.
Cingular 3125 Review - Camera / Basic Features
Seeing as the 3125's standout features lie elsewhere in its design, its VGA camera is nothing special. With video capabilities and a boatload of options, the camera is in no way deficient, but at 1.3-megapixels, it's hardly cutting-edge. Users will be pleased to find all the standard bells and whistles: a self-timer, zoom, white balance, color effects. However, serious digital photographers will have to look to a separate device for their photo-capturing needs. .
After Effects CS3 Professional
Adobe Bridge CS3 can now play image-sequence stacks as animations, allowing Photoshop image sequences to play in large preview windows before being imported into After Effects. If you have a series of sequentially numbered frame files in a folder, selecting the folder will preview the contents as a movie. Flash CS3 integration The new version of After Effects is highly interoperable with Flash CS3. Import Flash (SWF format) files as scalable vectors with alpha channel transparency, and use them to easily create 3-D layer animations. The rasterized vector shapes—along with the alpha channels from Flash—are preserved in the same manner as Photoshop or Illustrator layers. This is great for motion graphics producers who do most of their animation work in Flash. After Effects also lets you render videos out to Flash movies, along with exported cue points.
Gadgets Apple MacBook Air Notebook Launches, Lacks User-replaceable ...
Everyone was expecting Apple to release an ultra-portable notebook at this year's Macworld 2008 expo, and Steve Jobs didn't disappoint. Jobs revealed the aluminum-bodied MacBook Air is 0.16" at its thinnest point, 0.76" at its thickest point and weighs just 3.0 pounds. Jobs played up the fact that the MacBook Air is thin enough to fit within a standard manila envelope and new Mac TV ads will center on this ability. "When you first see MacBook Air, it's hard to believe it's a high-performance notebook with a full-size keyboard and display. But it is," said Jobs. The MacBook Air features Intel Core 2 Duo power (1.6GHz standard, 1.8GHz optional), 2GB of memory (soldered on and not upgradeable), Intel GMA X3100 graphics, a 13.3" LED-backlit display and an 80GB, 1.8" HDD for storage duties.
'The Eye' delivers a few successful jolts
Jessica Alba stars in "The Eye," a remake of the Chinese film "Jian Gui." Considering Alba's less-than -stellar acting repertoire, the film seems at once destined to repeat the mistakes of its predecessors. Surprisingly, Alba's acting, though unsteady at times, is an improvement upon her past roles. Sydney Wells (Alba) is an attractive, accomplished violinist who lost her vision at age five in a firecracker incident. We first join Wells on the day before a double cornea transplant, a surgery she had previously attempted fruitlessly. With the constant (at times, incessant) moral support of her sister, Helen (Parker Posey), Sydney's surgery is a success. Along with the acquisition of her sight, Wells is awarded a conveniently attractive neural ophthalmologist, Dr. .

Simmermon: Photos lack purpose
What was once used to preserve a memory or leave a legacy to pass down through generations has now turned into an egocentric, self-absorbed facefest. The idea of picture taking has made many unique transformations since the first cameras were invented. .
