Painless Downloading From Your Digital Camera.
Sanyo Debuts Digital Camera with Wireless LAN Capability
"...The still photos and the moving images taken by this camera can be automatically sent to the server on the IP network via the base station for wireless LAN access service.
The demonstration camera uses a Compact Flash-type wireless LAN card, and has a hand-over function to go between base stations, and an authentication and encryption function to comply with 'Genuine,' a wireless LAN access service from Mobile Internet Services Inc. (MIS). Because of the processing capability of this camera, the wireless data transmission speed is limited to about 1Mbps at the moment.
Unlike the existing digital cameras, with which users need to transfer images to their PCs on their own, the camera with wireless LAN function enables users to send the photos directly to their personal Web site or to order photo development on the Internet directly from the camera, for example.... The company, however, has not decided when to commercialize this type of product, but plans to see the market trend and discuss the possibilities." [TwoMobile]
This is great for commercial environments, but it doesn't do the mainstream much good until WiFi is embedded in new PCs and broadband providers include router and wireless access point installations in a start-up package. It would be great for blogging at conferences, though, and eventually this technology will be part of a newspaper photographer's toolbox. [Jenny Levine: Tech Goddess]

NewScientist. Alzheimer drug donepezil significantly boosts memory for healthy people too (funny that they tested the drug on pilots). Bet this drug is going to make the rounds at Universities (if it isn't already). Another small step towards intelligence amplification (IA). [John Robb's Radio Weblog]
