CNET's Josh Lowensohn used his own mug as a standard to measure the facial recognition prowess of iPhoto, Windows Live Gallery, and newcomer face-finder Picasa 3.5. The verdict? Picasa 3.5, because it's all about the workflow of approving or denying face matches, which Picasa makes easiest. Do you see face-to-face with Lowensohn's assessment? How accurate is your own photo organizer at recognizing your features? [CNET]

White Tip Shark Ilot Mato South Reef New Caledonia

White Tip Shark Ilot Mato South Reef New Caledonia in New Caledonia Panoramic photo by Richard Chesher When I took this image of the white tip shark, Triaenodon obesus, it was about one metre from the camera lens. It looks big because it was so close, but was only about 1.4 metres long. Normally these sharks are kind of hard to get close to – at least on normal terms. One can get a lot closer when feeding them – but that's one thing I don't get involved with; feeding them with bait or feeding them w...
