Automatic Photo Uploads

DIGITAL CAMERAS have become so simple that many people end up taking more pictures than they have time to upload to their computers. Eye-Fi, a startup in Mountain View, CA, hopes to change that with its new two-gigabyte secure digital memory card, which turns any compatible camera into a wireless transmitter.

designated photo-sharing site on the Internet.

Cool video. I actually showed it to a friend that will get married this year, but he doesn’t want to do the same at his wedding. Too bad. I’ll have to do it at mine.
