Sweet. http://informationcontraband.com/miscellaneous/iphone-camera-control-sweet http://informationcontraband.com/miscellaneous/iphone-camera-control-sweet#comments Sun, 14 Jun 2009 19:59:32 +0000 Andrew http://informationcontraband.com/?p=419 Great googley-moogley! This is the niftiest thing I’ve seen all week. Canon-only so far.

From the site:

DSLR Camera Remote is the next-generation cable release for your Canon EOS DSLR camera. Just connect your camera to a WiFi enabled computer and the DSLR Camera Remote software enables you to use your Apple iPhone or iPod touch to wirelessly adjust cameras settings, fire the shutter, review images, even get a live viewfinder preview. DSLR Camera Remote is a must-have for remote shooting applications like high or low angles, self portraits and children. With its advanced timers it makes remote monitoring a snap. No internet connection required!

No warning, no press release, no explanation. Website down and service entirely unavailable. Amazon S3 and JungleDisk don’t go down. Not ever. If I can’t trust Mozy, I won’t use Mozy.

Liquid Resize is now available for download as a Product Preview from onOne Software. Liquid Resize will allow you to resize an image without traditional geometric limitations while minimizing any distortion that would typically result from changing the original aspect ratio of an image.”
—OnOne Software

It’s only a Product Preview (I think that means Beta), but this is pretty nifty tech. It was only a few months ago that I first saw this idea online.
