In the new movie, he's bearded and wasted-looking, her profile is more hawklike; and the camera traces the lines the intervening years have written on their faces with the odd intensity of Nicholas Cage running his finger over the route on an ancient map in National Treasure...

Sometimes videos freeze and audio is muffled. For those committed to higher-quality images, Eye-Fi sells a wi-fi-enabled SD memory card for digital still cameras that stores your photos and uploads them automatically via a wireless network to your home computer or to the online photo-sharing site of your choice.
