By Eamon Hickey First, a tiny bit of background: Like many, many others (notably, the publisher of this very website), I've been pining away for a small but serious digital camera for a decade or so now. (Yeah, a decade....
Tristan: Very very excited about the evolution of digital camera design right now. Image quality is here ... now comes the kick ass design.
An Italian woman who missed the Air France flight that crashed into the Atlantic on May 31 has died in a car accident in Austria, according to an Italian media report.

Men would still be forbidden to walk the streets armed, in accordance with current laws, but women would be required to carry pistols in plain sight whenever they are out and about.
Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt called the medical isotopes crisis a sexy problem and wanted credit for fixing it, according to an audio recording made public by the Halifax Chronicle-Herald after a court battle to suppress its contents.
Ontario Health Minister David Caplan has fired the head of the electronic health records agency eHealth Ontario amid a multimillion-dollar contracts scandal.
Tristan: The best part about this story is that Sarah Kramer (the woman fired) walks away with a 10 month severance package of $300,000+!
So basically no matter how this story could have ended she would always have gotten the money. Unreal. I wish I lived in a world where no matter how bad I screwed up I always got a pay check at the end.
Minister Caplan said the reason for the severance pay was to avoid any legal issues that could arise after having let her go. Basically she would sue for lost wages etc. Where the hell is accountability?! If you get let go/fired it's because you screwed up! Especially in this case.
As some of you know I love politics but this just pisses me off! The political systems in this country suck.
One person died yesterday in a crash involving a motorcycle and vehicle near Ladysmith. B.C. Ambulance said that three crews were sent to the scene on Highway No. 1, near Cedar Road and Brenton-Page Road. Two other persons are in hospital.

Six Saanich police officers and 24 reserve constables were called last night to the Easter Seals 24-Hour relay following an incident involving two intoxicated men.
Tristan: Wow either facts are missing or this story is completely over reported. Two guys urinating in public and 30 police are called in? Wow. I really hope there is more to this story.
As President Obama continued his Mideast trip, voices as disparate as Al Qaeda’s and the Israeli government’s competed to shape how his message would be heard.
Tristan: Read this article. It is amazing the amount of effort Obama has put into this trip and the research he has done for his speech. Impressive.
I like what one of his aids said (David Axelrod) about the expectations surrounding the trip and speech in Cairo, specifically regarding the breach between the American and Muslim world. “That breach has been years in the making. It is not going to be reversed with one speech. It’s not going to be reversed, perhaps, in one administration.”
The expectations are realistic in the White House on this issue. I appreciate that.
