| Peeping Tom filter lets phones see through bikinis | |

A developer in Tokyo has created an add-on for Vodafone handsets that's meant to be used as a night filter to let people take pictures with their phones in the dark. Unfortunately, the night vision camera has an unexpected side effect, according to Japanese developer Yamada Denshi. In the right circumstances, it allows users to see a lot more than they bargained for. As well as taking snaps in the dark, the Yamada Denshi infrared filter apparently sees through people's clothes. The problem arises because the filter uses the distribution of heat to create its pictures. When attached to a high-end camera, the filter can see though certain kinds of clothing and is reportedly particularly effective on dark bikinis. The handset most often used with the filter--the V602-SH--is only available in Japan. A Vodafone spokeswoman confirmed that the Peeping Tom accessory isn't a problem outside of Japan. She added that because Yamada Denshi is a third-party supplier, Vodafone's control is limited. "They are not an approved third party," she said. "We would never go to market with a phone with any kind of capacity to see people naked," she said. |

| Apple issues critical alert for iMac G5 owners | |

It's generally accepted that Mac users are more tech savvy, more attractive to the opposite sex and just plain more intelligent than the average computer user. Or so we thought. It appears, though, that some iMac G5 owners need a few pointers as to how to transport their kit from one place to another. Nothing too technical, mind, simply good, honest advice to assist them when the time comes to relocate:  And there you have it. We note, however, that Apple has omitted to mention that you should always keep your back straight and bend your legs when lifting weights. We foresee a whole gunboat of lawsuits heaving over the horizon in the company's direction... ® |
