I found an old post on PhotoGraphyBay that is trying to describe the upcoming Canon EOS 450D (the supposed replacement for the current EOS 400D / Rebel XTi).

Thanks to LifeHacker, and if you have the following, you will be able to use your iPhone to access Internet from your laptop.
A computer with Wi-Fi capable of creating an ad-hoc computer-to-computer connection (yours is)
A jailbroken iPhone (If you don’t know how to jailbreak your iPhone, the easiest way is to make sure you’re running 1.1.1 firmware and then start here.
The OpenSSH iPhone application
An SSH client on the computer you’re using. If you’re on a Mac or *nix machine, you should be fine. Windows users should check out how to install OpenSHH with Cygwin.

We all knew that the whale was actually a terrestrial mammal gone back to the sea a few million years ago (this is most visible in the presence of vestigial leg bones that are not associated to externally apparent legs or fins), but it was a bit difficult to say exactly what the ancestor looked like.

Bug correction: Resolves an issue where powering the camera off while in “MR” mode may cause some registered settings to carry over to other shooting modes.
All this comes on top of the previously detailed improvements to image quality and noise management in version 2.
Tired of storing your Windows applications as icons in the icon bar? Here comes ThumbWin, a small free application that allows to keep thumbnails (small images) of the reduced application. It’s bigger than the icon, but it’s still readable and you have a big screen, don’t you?
Forest fires are not only happening around the most populated areas (Greece, South of France and California). Sometimes, for reasons still to be clarified (criminal or not), wild fires willl start in the bush or the forest. Like this one in the Pantanal (Brazil, 2007).
GameInformer revealed in a world exclusive coverage that Electronic Arts really started the development of an FPS video game in the universe of Command-and-Conquer (a very successful real-time strategy game). Will it work? Will it produce a good game? Or simply a C&C-ploitation?
