An interesting new concept was recently announced in the point-and-shot digital camera market that is aimed at getting all of us to print out more of the images we are capturing.

A relatively new company called Jazz-Digitac is launching a line of very affordable ($15-$20) media card-less digital cameras that feature a retractable USB plug that can be inserted into a retail photo kiosk to instantly print the images captured.

The cameras hold approximately 72 pictures and come in a variety of colors and designs and all feature a 1.5-inch…

While flat-panel TVs continue to be all the rage, the fact remains when they are turned off you’re left with a giant, black rectangle hanging on your wall. Enter Vutec’s ArtScreen product  – a customizable, retractable screen that transforms your flat-panel into a work of art when you’re done watching the TV.

Inside a hardwood frame, giclee artwork ascends or descends with the touch of a remote. When the screen or television is not in use, the digital art-on-canvas image of your choosing is displayed within the frame;…

Ever since Kodak hit the financial rocks, there’s been no end to the post-mortems. Indeed, Kodak has become something of a case study of how not to handle a technological-shift in the business world (Kodak famously invented the digital camera decades ago but squirreled it away lest it eat into their film revenues).

And the facts do speak for themselves – Kodak’s filed for bankruptcy, so obviously they’ve done more than a few things wrong. But rather than join the pile-on, it’s worth pointing out that, from a consumer…

We’ve been big fans of getting your images done as gallery warps and canvas prints and we’ve covered a number of sites that provide this service. The finished product is beautiful but the one caveat is the price as a well-done canvas print can cost north of $50 depending on the size you choose.

We recently posted an item on HP’s deal with Walmart and Meijer stores to offer what they are calling a “Faux Canvas” print service. The deal here is, along with being…

Earlier this week, Columbia Researchers set the printer world aflame with revelations that Internet-connected printers were extremely vulnerable to hacks and information theft. Joseph Fieber offers some hints on how to protect yourself. Most of these are aimed at IT managers in a business setting, but three of them would work for those of us with a run-of-the-mill home printer that connects to a network (via Wi-Fi or Ethernet).

So what should you do? First – unplug your printer from your network and connect it directly to your computer…

In September, security researchers alerted the public that printers that connect to the Internet were vulnerable to hacks. Now, MSNBC is reporting that another team of researchers at Columbia University has discovered that not only can hackers penetrate into Internet-connected printers and steal valuable information sent to the printer (tax returns, etc.) but can even (potentially) set them on fire (although the researchers were not able to blow any up). Here’s the scoop:

Printers can be remotely controlled by computer criminals over the Internet, with the potential to…
