| What the heck is the difference among all those Canon ELPHs anyway?
As I mentioned in my last post, I'm a big fan of Canon's Digital ELPH series, but I can't tell you how many times friends have called me from Best Buy in a state of confusion about which one to buy. It's no wonder. Stop into any electronics store today and you'll find a slew of ELPH models and they all look pretty similar to the untrained eye. So here's a quick primer on what's what, broken down by resolution (since for better or for worse, that's how most people seem to shop for cameras). For comparison's sake, I included current pricing from Amazon.com. 12.1 Megapixels Canon PowerShot SD950 IS ($340) - released August 2007: This is Canon's current top-of-the-line model (successor to last year's SD900 which you'll still find in some stores). It sports a sleek, rugged titanium body, 3.7x optical zoom lens (36- to 133mm), an Optical Image Stabilizer, Canon's latest face-detection autofocus technology, in-camera red-eye correction, and like all the current ELPHs, uses Canon's top-end DIGIC III image processor.

Apple’s new baby has Microsoft feeling radio ga ga
Google's aspirations to gain a foothold on the small screen hardly stop there, with the search engine showing off its Android mobile phone system in Barcelona this week. Perhaps this explains why Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo!, which runs searches on a few mobiles, although one could say the $42 billion (£21 billion) might be better spent pursuing RIM or a mobile maker. All of which leads back, not all that obviously, to GCap Media, the home of Classic FM. Why bother to get up from the sofa to turn on that expensive, retro-styled DAB radio to listen to Birdsong when it would be a lot easier to press a Classic FM buttton on an iPhone? Internet transmission uses global standards while DAB is confined largely to one country, which British media executives and policymakers arrogantly believed would be followed by a grateful world.
Eminem Memoir In The Works
A rep for the publisher confirmed an October 16 U.K. release date for the book with the N.M.E. But the rapper's reps denied having a solid release date for the book and blasted the publisher for delivering inaccurate information. "While there is a book in the works from Eminem in which he details certain aspects of his personal and professional life, the book is still in the process of being written and edited," Eminem's camp told MTV News via e-mail. "There is no firm release date scheduled, although it is anticipated to arrive in the latter part of this year. The news about the project today came from the U.K. publisher, who is not involved in the day-to-day editing or creation of the book. It's unfortunate that someone who does not have intimate knowledge of the book felt compelled to jump the gun on announcing it by delivering partial and inaccurate information." Eminem has been in the headlines numerous times in recent months; first the rapper was rushed to the hospital over the holidays in late 2007 for complications stemming from pneumonia.
VIDEO from Medialink and AXA Equitable: Turning the Big 4-0 Ranks #1
NEW YORK, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Milestone birthdays, children, marriage, and advice from friends or relatives top the list of reasons why Americans begin saving for retirement. According to the 2008 AXA Retirement Scope Survey, turning 40 is the number one life trigger for most to start saving. Today's working Americans note more factors prompting their decision to save than past generations of retirees. (See video from AXA Equitable at: http://media.medialink.com/WebNR.aspx?story=34446) The survey also reports that people realize it's up to the individual to plan for their retirement. Social Security is something that most people can't rely on to provide a significant portion of their retirement income. When it comes to retirement planning, figuring out what to do, how to do it and when to do it can be confusing, and working with a professional advisor or planner is key.
