		<description><![CDATA[South San Francisco – December 6, 2010 – Unified Color Technologies, the experts in high dynamic range imaging (HDR), today announced the immediate availability of HDR Express which is specifically designed to meet the requirements of professional photographers and photo enthusiasts who are new to HDR softwareand looking to create stunning images quickly. With HDR Express, Unified Color has automated some of the most complex aspects of HDR photography and replaced the traditional HDR workflow with a lightning-fast alternative for creating the most realistic HDR renderings possible making this once-complicated process accessible to even the most novice user. The software is available for purchase through Unified Color’s website at www.unifiedcolor.com/hdr-express. HDR Express automates key aspects of the HDR production process, such as tone mapping and halo elimination, offering a streamlined and very easy-to-follow workflow. After merging the multiple exposures required for the HDR process into a 32-bit image, the simplified user interface presents an animated exposure range preview of the HDR image along with five tone mapping preset options. For the fastest results, users can then choose from a series of color and style presets or create their own presets using the program’s adjustment sliders which manipulate brightness, highlight and shadow recovery, black point, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tired of spending money on &#8220;canned air&#8221; to remove dust particles from your precious gear? Worried about balancing your desire for equipment hygiene and the ozone layer? Fear no more! The fine folks at Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Co. of Suffern, NY have the answer: The DataVacED! This little beauty packs a 500W, .75HP electric blower delivering 70 CFM of air to blast off dust, dirt and debris. The air is filtered and is dry since Boyle&#8217;s Law is not invoked in it&#8217;s propulsion. Made in the USA with all-steel construction, the unit weighs in at 2.75 lbs. and is powered by a 12-foot power cord. Battery power would have made the unit too cumbersome since the motor draws 4.5 amps @ 120 volts Included are several attachments including the Air-Pin-Pointer(tm), Air-Concentrator nozzle, Air-Flare nozzle and a 4-piece detailing tool kit. The DataVacED comes with a lifetime warranty. Pricing is set at &#8220;less than 5 throwaway cans of air&#8221;. For more information or to find the dealer nearest you, head over to Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Co. website or call them at 1-800-822-1602.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Delivers Industry’s First Built-in Digitizer and Color Calibrator Along with Ultimate Power, Multimedia and Display Technologies Lenovo today introduced a monster notebook aimed at photographers. This 17-inch beast includes an Intel Core2 Extreme processor, up to 8GB DDR3 RAM, a 400 nit WUXGA (1920&#215;1200) monitor that displays 72% color gamut, has a built-in color calibrator by X-rite (embedded Huey Pro), Nvidia Quadro graphics (up to 1GB), RAID 0/1, Blu-Ray burner, and built-in Wacom tablet. A 7-in-1 card reader is included and you can add a CF card reader as well. The notebook supports 802.11 BANG, Bluetooth, ultra wideband, and will add Wi-Max support later this year. Pricing starts at $2,978 USD. With everything mentioned above, the price is over $5,000 USD.

		<description><![CDATA[Web 2.0 is the buzzword for the next generation of web applications that interact directly with users at the system level. The term has been bandied about for the last couple of years but no one has really developed anything that crystallizes the idea. Until now. The folks at Dropbox have come up with a novel way to solve an age-old Internet problem: secure file sharing with yourself, your friends and family. By combining web services, Amazon&#8217;s S3 storage clusters and some clever programming, Dropbox plugs into Windows Explorer and Mac Finder to create a drag-and-drop interface for easy file sharing. Create shared folders between yourself and your friends/family, drop files in and a Mac-like sync occurs between all parties involved. Have to collaborate with a group of people? Add names to the share folder and when you drop the file in there, all participants get a copy. Best of all, Dropbox is free. Currently in beta, you can surf over to the Dropbox website and apply. If you know someone already on it, they get 10 beta invitations. The free accounts are limited to 2GB of data so don&#8217;t get any wild ideas about using it to create the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The war over which high-definition disc format to choose is now over. Toshiba yesterday announced that it would be withdrawing it&#8217;s HD-DVD players from the market and retiring the format. With Warner Brothers deciding to release it&#8217;s content on Blu-Ray Toshiba seems to have gotten the message. So, Sony is the winner, right? Maybe. Certainly it will be simpler in the future to select HD content discs: all of them will be Blu-Ray. However, unless Sony cuts the prices of BD discs right now, the consumer community may simply bypass BD and opt for downloaded HD content from sources like Netflix and AppleTV.  It&#8217;s not only the price of the discs, but the licensing fees, royalty payments, and the cost of the actual blue lasers themselves that have to be reduced. This may not happen quickly enough for the consumer and if Sony wants to really cash in on this format war victory, it may have to take a bath in the short term, selling the pricier components below cost in order to have market penetration. Technological development is always moving forward and the cost of those components will inevitably drop providing Sony with profitability but what they need now [...]]]></description>
