...with the holy word. But there is plenty of tech-noir savvy to keep infidels and action fans satisfied. The violence is copious, clean and discreet. Director James Cameron (who wrote the script with Producer Gale Anne Kurd) has a superefficient editing style that uses slow motion, pixilation and infra-red opticals to make this the smartest looking L.A. nighttown movie since The Driver...
...decades. But after moving into calculators and copiers in the 1960s, Canon applied its electronics know-how to cameras and devised the breakthrough AE-1. The company followed up in 1979 with the Sure Shot, a highly popular $100 pocket camera that automatically focuses itself by using an infra-red beam to measure the distance to the subject. Then in 1982 came the $60 Snappy 20, an easy-to-load 35-mm model designed to compete with Kodak's Instamatics...
...time, Air Force generals thought they had the answer to a pilot's prayer. Using on-board computers, the Low Altitude Navigation, Targeting Infra-Red Night system, known as LANTIRN, was touted as the new technology that could guide pilots of F-16s and A-10s close to the ground during bad weather or at night. Then, while helping U.S. aces dodge hills and other obstacles, LANTIRN would spot enemy targets and automatically program air-to-ground missiles on an instantaneous search-and-destroy mission. To be sure, the LANTIRN program's price tag was $1 billion...
...emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision -it would be rated about 20/500, or "legally blind," as one expert puts it, but eyesight develops rapidly. Newborns start by looking at the edges of things, exploring. Even when the lights are turned out, as infra-red cameras show, an infant's eyes open wide to carry on its investigation of its surroundings. At eight weeks, it can differentiate between shapes of objects as well as colors (generally preferring red, then blue); at three months, it begins to develop stereoscopic vision...
