As usual, I was sitting here this morning reading my copy of the Paragould Daily Press from Paragould, Arkansas, when I spied Miranda Remaklus' interview with Dr. Jack Zibluk, "Digital age eliminates much from photography." You remember Jack, the associate professor and photojournalism coordinator in the Department of Journalism and Printing at Arkansas State University?

Anyway, I'm reading the article when Jack starts saying we've lost our mojo by moving to digital photography. OK, that's not a direct quote. This is: "Photography and photojournalism can be seen as less special if everyone can do it."

Call me crazy, but he's saying the process is more important than the product to people who only see the product! I couldn't disagree more. It doesn't make any difference how you get your finished photo--it's that you get the photo! I celebrate that Ansel Adams hiked into the backwoods with a heavy camera, heavy tripod and delicate photographic plates, but that's not why his photos are great. It's the photos.

Like many others, Professor Zibluk's attitude is shortsighted. The technology of photography has not trumped human skill. It's only enhanced it. And it's not the first time. Moving from plates to film was a great leap which benefited photography as much as it benefited photographers. The same can be said for cameras small enough to carry.

Take a site like DPChallenge. Its weekly open challenges specifically exclude photos that are digitally manipulated in ways not possible in a darkroom or which originate in an analog format (by virtue of requiring EXIF data). ...

Not that we’d view the actual Touch Diamond as whether or anything, but the Diamond J6 is more along the lines of I3. In all seriousness, that thing isn’t too far from being spot-on identical (maybe it’s an HTC thing?), with a 2.8-inch display, built-in camera, multimedia player, Bluetooth and a…

Microsoft never lets a new technology go unchallenged. While it already owns a multi-OS file synchronization tool, the very capable Windows Live Foldershare, that's not enough to take on newbies such as SugarSync, Syncplicity, and DropBox, which not only sync but also offer online backup and access to the same files from other computers. Live Mesh is Microsoft's long-in-development answer; it was announced earlier this year.

The Live Mesh software/service is now available to all--okay, anyone with a Windows Live ID--as of today. It is currently limited to Windows users, but Mac and Linux are promised for the future.

Saying "sync" isn't enough for Redmond, though. They call it an "app platform that's cognizant of all of your devices." (That according to Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's Chief Software Architect.) That "all your devices" bit is the key.

Microsoft wants Live Mesh and its Mesh Operating Environment (hey, MOE) to be a platform not just for computers but also cameras, phones, digital photo frames--whatever you store files on, it would make sense to have those files shared and backed up on multiple systems. The Live Desktop aspect allows access from any Internet capable PC; the folders in it can be worked with just like a local folder. You can see a full slideshow of what Live Mesh is on PCMag.com.

Why is Microsoft keeping Windows Live Foldershare alive if Live Mesh does the same thing? Search me. Maybe for a time when it might charge for Live Mesh, so you'll still have a free synchronization option. If it doesn't charge for Live ...

It's time to pack up for your around-the-world trip: Don't forget your rubber ducky! Putting a rubber duck in a suitcase doesn't sound like a hard thing to do, unless you're packing it via a Rube Goldberg machine, which performs what could be a simple task in complex twists and turns: You have to topplea procession of dominoes with a soccer ball to knock the duck off the shelf and into your suitcase. In the game Crazy Machines 2 ($19.99 list), you perform lots of simple jobs like this by using intricate methods. The game can be addictive and frustrating at the same time, but it is a lot of fun.

You travel around the world with your genius companion, the Professor and must solve a puzzle to move on to new levels, each set in a different place. The puzzle is fixed on a wall that already has objects, such as ramps and shelves, attached to it. You have items in your inventory that you can mount on the wall to reach the goal of the experiment. The puzzle can be solved using simple ramps, ropes and chains, or something more complex, such as laser beams and mirrors, to direct them.

Each level has a main and secondary goal. For example, you might have to pop several balloons to complete the level, but for extra points you have light the candle too. As the levels progress, the puzzles become more difficult. If the level proves to be too hard for you to figure out, you can get hints from the Professor. It ...

We spent most of the weekend putting the iPhone 3G’s battery life (and to a lesser extent, MobileMe implementation) to the pop quiz, and we’ve got far more encouraging results to report back than we had on day one. Pretty much everything we’ve found thus far jibes with Apple’s claims, whether no…
