CNet reports that Picasa Web Albums will add some interesting features today. After implementing face detection in the image search engine, Google adds face recognition in Picasa Web Albums to facilitate photo tagging."The problem with tagging is that it's a chore, so most people don't bother. But Picasa's name tag feature automates the process enough--and provides enough reason to use it--that I believe many users will take the tagging plunge. (...) The most impressive moments ...

As an iPhone owner, this pleases me. But more basically, as a owner of a touchscreen-enhanced device, this pleases me especially so. Truly custom tagging of photos, just as one would through an typical Web browser, is yet one more of those small, relatively insignificant options that prove just how useful something of the iPhone’s design can be. There’s really no question that the iPhone is the software benchmark in the mobile market. The platform ...

Filed under: Digital CamerasRed CEO, Jim Jannard, is stirring up trouble in the RED User forums, J. Wong-style. His latest volley discusses the new Mysterium "Monstro" sensor program, the next evolution (and future free upgrade) to the Mysterium X sensor slated for RED's 5k Epic. The most interesting revelation though is this little nugget: in addition to Epic, RED plans to place Monstro into, "another camera aimed squarely at the DSLR market." He later adds, ...

In a presentation made at Nvidia's NVISION show this week, Adam and Jamie unveiled a 1100 barrel paintball gun and—in an instant—painted a pretty convincing (if not slightly drippy) Mona Lisa. In typical MythBusters fashion, the incredibly elaborate experiment was only tenuously linked to their hypothesis. The presentation was intended to represent the difference in operation between single and multicore processors, referring to current gen CPUs versus GPUs, respectively. Of course, the reality of parallel ...

Always pleases me when Adam and Jamie don't waste time making poorly planned scientific studies. And the CPU/GPU comparison is cute. Very impressive work.
