...contrast, the Kodak-Intel Picture CD is simple and fun. You drop off your 35-mm or APS film at a participating photo center (Walgreen's, Wal-mart, CVS, Target or Eckerd Drug, to name a few) and pay $10 or so more than you would for print-only processing. The Picture CD package you get back includes a contact sheet, a set of paper prints and a CD with digital renderings of your photos. Put the CD in your computer's CD-ROM drive, and you'll see the images displayed in an interface that looks like a magazine...
...four dead horses eviscerated by scavengers, over a trampled barbed wire fence and you are in Kosovo. A thin trail leads down through light green scrub oak to a rutted dirt road, which in turn winds deeper into the cleft of a narrow valley.

You can create a huge variety of special effects and generally enjoy far more control over how images look. Also, digital tapes are much easier to edit on a PC; an analog tape first must be converted to digital, which is cumbersome. Perhaps the best news is this: for the next year, Sony is expected to have the only Digital8s on the market. That may well...
...Americans more likely to suffer high blood pressure when they consume salt. The gene in question controls how much the blood vessels widen, which lowers blood pressure, or narrow, which raises blood pressure. As little as half a teaspoon of table salt can raise blood pressure levels five points (mm Hg) in those who have the gene...
