Grin and snap it

Face recognition is all the rage these days in digital cameras, but Sony appeared to have taken the technology to the next level with its "smile shutter." The technology is supposed to detect when someone is smiling in a scene and automatically snap a photo of them. When I heard about the feature, I confess I was skeptical. Nevertheless, it tickled my curiosity. While I haven't been able to get my hands on a Sony model, like the DSC-T200, with the feature, Ed Baig over at USA Today has and wrote about it today.

"Smile shutter worked but not perfectly," he scribbles. "To be sure, I captured a lot of handsome smiles. But the camera missed a number of smiles, too, or took a picture when the subject wasn't fully in the frame."

Like many a novelty, smile shutter's luster may tarnish quickly.

"More often than not, I'd recommend exiting the smile shutter scene mode altogether," Baig noted. "That's because whenever the smiley icon appears in the LCD, you won't be able to manually take a picture by pressing the shutter button. I missed out on a few promising family pictures by not changing the scene mode quickly enough."

Secure, Portable Storage

Let's face it, flash drives are really convenient. However, if your flash drive falls into the wrong hands, so does your data. What's a paranoid geek to do?

Enter the Ironkey, sold by ThinkGeek. In addition to having up to 4gb of storage, it's encrypted on-the-fly with 128bit AES. When you stick the drive into a Windows computer, you have to enter the device password. If you fail the password entry 10 times, the crypto chip becomes permanently inoperative.

The Ironkey is also physically hardened against tampering. The insides of the flash drive are filled with epoxy, making it unlikely that someone could get in without damaging something. Exceeds US government standards for being waterproof. Sweet!

With the HP iPAQ 614c and 914c

Probably the only French I know is "Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir?" But I had no problem understanding this:

Le premier le iPAQ 614c devrait avoir les caracteristiques suivantes :
- Windows Mobile 6 Professionnel
- 12 touches + Roue Navigation un peu à la mode iPOD
- Ecran 2.8 pouces d'une resolution de 240x320 (Ecran Tactile)
- Connectivite 3G & WIFI
- GPS Integre
- APN 3 Mega Pixels

Le second le iPAQ 914c devrait quand à lui avoir les caracteristiques suivantes :
- Windows Mobile 6 Professionnel
- Clavier alphanumerique (Look Blackberry)
- Ecran 2.46 pouces d'une resolution de 320x240 (Ecran Tactile)
- Connectivite 3G & WIFI
- GPS Integre
- APN 3 Mega Pixels
....because specs are universal! But if you still need help, here's what smartphonefrance.info was trying to say about the new HP iPAQ 914c and iPAQ 614c (when you reduce the text to its bare essentials):

The new HP iPAQ 614c runs on Windows Mobile 6 Professional (PDA Phone), features a unique touch-driven interface, a 2.8" portrait QVGA display, 3G and WiFi connectivity, integrated GPS, and a 3 megapixel camera.

The new HP iPAQ 914c also runs on WM6 Pro, and also benefits from the same connectivity, GPS, and camera feature set as the 614c. It has a landscape 2.46" touch-display and has a QWERTY thumbboard.
