US Wants New Iran Sanctions Fast
Iran claims its program is peaceful and insists it has the same right to enrichment technology as nuclear nations such as the United States. The 11-page report gave Iran a relatively clean bill of health on explaining the origin of traces of enriched uranium in a military facility; experiments with polonium, which can also be used in a weapons program; and purchases on the nuclear black market. In such cases, "the agency has been able to conclude that answers provided by Iran ... are (either) consistent with its findings (or) ... not inconsistent with its findings," said the report, in careful language that would allow it to renew its investigation into the issues. But it said Teheran had rejected as irrelevant some material forwarded by the agency that purportedly shows it working on tests of missile trajectories and high explosives, and research on a missile re-entry vehicle , activities that would most likely be part of weapons development.
Hollywood Still Plagued by Prejudice
Otis Boykin invented the electronic device for guided missles, IBM computers and the pacemaker. Garrett Morgan invented the gas mask and the traffic signal. And what would we have done as kids in the cafeteria without George Washington Carver? He invented peanut butter and 400 other plant products. .
Fujifilm Announces New Digital Cameras
Fujifilm has introduced five cameras to its range, including one it describes as the "world's smallest 12x optical zoom digital camera," the FinePix S1000fd. New entrants include: the FinePix S100FS; FinePix S8100fd and the new J-series digital camera range. The new range launches with two models, the FinePix J10 and J50. These entry-level digital cameras offer features at an affordable price, and are small enough to carry casually from place-to-place. The FinePix J10 is 19mm thick, incorporates an 8.2 Megapixel CCD sensor, a 2.5in LCD and a 3x Fujinon optical zoom lens. The FinePix J50 offers a high resolution 2.7in screen and a Fujinon 5x optical zoom. The camera is 23mm thick. Both offer image stabilization to protect against camera shake and are available in Matte Black or Brushed Silver.
Play nice with non-Mac volumes
Unlike the “classic" Mac OS, OS X does Windows. Out of the box, you can easily connect to Windows servers and shares. However, as any Windows-centric IT person will tell you—vehemently—OS X isn't necessarily the best neighbor in the Network Neighborhood. Every time you access a remote Windows share (or an NFS volume), Mac OS X leaves behind .DS_Store detritus—files that are useful, but invisible, to Mac OS X while being useless, and completely visible, to Windows users. In addition, if you copy a file with a Mac OS resource fork to a non-Mac volume, that resource fork is copied as a second file; for example, if an image named IMG_0995.JPG has a Finder thumbnail—which resides in the file's resource fork—copying that image to a non-HFS volume will result in two files being created on the volume: IMG_0995.JPG and ._IMG_0995.JPG .
