...states with bruising primaries, the G.O.P. has been holding successful fund raisers to pile up cash that will be dished out to whoever is the winner. Even Democratic stars like Obama will get roughed up. Before his candidacy imploded, Ryan last month had a young campaign worker with a videocam follow Obama (sometimes no more than a few feet away) in hopes of catching him saying something inconsistent with previous statements. After two weeks and a wave of publicity that made Ryan look bad, the cameraman disappeared. "This scorched-earth politics out there today is not getting things done," says...
THRICE AS NICE Desktop computers are sprouting all sorts of stylish accessories these days. The latest, from Creative Labs, is this groovy-looking webcam. The PC-CAM 600 ($150) is really three cams in one: a videocam that can host a videoconference call, a still camera that can snap 20 digital still pictures (with crisp 1.3-megapixel resolution) and a camcorder that can record 75 sec. of video and up to an hour of audio...
...state plans to start using three-dimensional "face recognition" photos for driver's licenses in order to prevent identity-theft crimes. Yet states sometimes sell their databases to anyone who can afford to pay for them, and no one knows how your face print will be used then.

But few people want cameras out on the street filming hundreds of people who might be guilty...
...integral part of bus life. Want to go to Las Vegas for a week? Bus people can unplug from Indio's water, sewer and electric lines and be on the road in 15 minutes. Backing up can be tricky, so the $1 million bus is equipped with a videocam in the rear end and a monitor at the driver's seat. On the open highway a bus handles as easily as a big, expensive car. At the end of the day, bus people often turn into an empty mall parking lot to camp. Wide-open Wal-Mart lots...
Each 377-ft. sub will feature highly sophisticated wake suppressors and pollution controls to mask its presence. A videocam system will replace the traditional optical periscope, making for more acute reconnaissance at night and in bad weather. Each vessel will have its own on-board computer network, packing more cyber-power into its 7,700 tons than the 65 attack subs that came before it put together. Eventually, the Navy plans to outfit the subs with "antitorpedo" torpedoes, which the Navy has fantasized about for decades...
