New Sony Camera Has Wi-Fi and Browser

Sony has introduced the DSC-G3 with a browser: This Wi-Fi enabled camera includes a browser, which Sony assures us makes it easy to gain access to hotspots. The camera includes access until 31-Jan-2012 to a special upload site via AT&T's hotspot network, the Sony Easy Upload Home Page. Because if there's two things that digital photographers want, it's another photograph/video upload interface to learn and configure, and the ability to type in user names and passwords into a tiny tiny tiny Web browser. Goodness knows, I've been waiting for that. Sony joins the other Wi-Fi enabled camera makers in creating a problem where a solution exists: multiple companies (Boingo and Devicescape leap foremost to mind) have figured out how to uniquely identify devices and enable no-entry logins at hotspots through an external account.

Ask the pilot: The hazards of flying while Muslim. Plus: Africa's coolest airport, surly airport staff, dangerous T-shirts

"I remember a quote, though I can't recall the exact words, or who the speaker was, basically submitting that human beings will only be as kind or respectful to each other as they are kind and respectful to animals and nature."

That was me, a couple of months ago, in my column from Senegal about the slum and the hedgehog. I belatedly tracked down the quotation I was thinking of. The speaker is hardly obscure. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress," the quote goes, "can be judged by the way its animals are treated." That's from Mohandas Gandhi. Various like sentiments are cataloged here.
