“A conclusion can be drawn – there’s no need to worry about our pictures when we pass through airport scanning devices. Also we know that we can make pictures in a medical X-ray facility. With film, this was always risky. Worrying about whether our pictures can survive an X-ray scan is a thing of the past. While the new X-ray scanners have a “film safe” label, digital media is resilient even to those without the label.”

He had hoped to get to Level 88 - the very top of the tower - but was arrested by the authorities upon reaching the balcony at Level 60. This photo shows him on Level 59.

HD Photo is in news and much discussed since the day Microsoft has announced it. They intend to see HD Photo as the next image format standard replacing jpg. Obviously not many people are happy, especially Microsoft bashers and those who have known the oppressive history that Microsoft has.
