Photo Backup 2.6.0 Creates Photo Archives Immune to Photo Organizing and Editing

Fri, 2007-08-03 15:05
Photo Backup ensures that photo archives are full and up-to-date even if photos are moved, renamed or edited.

Fri, 2007-08-03 02:05
Display Prints, Batch Printing, Bluetooth & More The first two installments in our Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-in-One Printer diary rolled right off our fingertips. There was a lot to say right away. But this one has taken a while. You might say it's been stuck in the mud of reality. We printed some lovely display prints aching for frames. But we had trouble printing 4x6s from a thumbdrive. That led to a firmware upgrade (but only a Windows insta...

Full Review posted for Olympus EVOLT E-410

Thu, 2007-08-02 13:05
Small and appealing, the Olympus E-410 brings memories of days gone by, when SLRs were small, mechanical, and manual. But the E-410 is capable of both full auto and manual, and its 10 megapixel Live MOS sensor and optical design are quite advanced. The E-410's 14-42mm lens is sharper than the average consumer digital SLR, and it's just a little smaller, too. Its specially desig...

Express Review posted for Nikon Coolpix L10

Tue, 2007-07-31 10:05
The Nikon Coolpix L10 doesn't look like a digital camera made for kids but it's priced just right for them. And it's a great deal on a digital camera for anyone who enjoys composing images, and capturing the moment without having to worry about photographic science. But there's plenty of photographic science built into this digital camera. The Coolpix line has always offered N...

Tue, 2007-07-31 10:05

Apologies again for our outage last Friday through Sunday, it was testimony that the best laid plans of mice and men (but particularly the latter) are prone to going astray.

(We run Linux/Apache, but the lessons ...

We'd been hoping to limp along until the weekend, when our traffic is normally lower, but ongoing deterioration of...
