iPod touch as Camera: Take 2

This isn't about it not being a story--this is about being misled by the headline of this post. "iPod touch as Camera: Take 2" is the headline for this post. This is how I understood that headline: "Hey, there's a way to make the Touch a camera? SWEET! I'll read!!"

Surprise, surprise, that's not at all what the post is about and to top it all off, it's not that big of a deal since all it takes to "import" pics into iPhoto is dragging and dropping from Finder. Who cares what OSX sees the Touch as? So, to me, it's injury (misleading headline) with added insult (pretty much useless info). All resulting in wasted time :(

Just my 2 yen...

I suppose this might be useful if you have a PictBridge printer, but then, I really don't see much need for that either. Most photos can benefit from a little post work, even if it's just a quick rotation adjustment and a crop, but there's also shadow & highlight touch-ups that are now very easy in iPhoto or Picasa. I just bought a printer that happens to have a PictBridge connector and even supports memory cards, but I don't expect to ever use it that way.

Guys, please - this is not a story, please better moderation next time.

Apart from whether this is useless or not - how do you create a folder on your Touch?

dumb.

Um... I think any removable drive that has a DCIM/xxxx directory at the top level, shows up as a camera, no?

I have one of those new SD cards that flip down and has its own USB connection built in... If it has the DCIM/xxxx directory on it, it shows up as a camera in iPhoto.

But, yes, I am confused as to the potential use of this observation specifically to the iPODtouch myself.

This is a joke... I'd rather see no news than this garbage...

Average time to post a comment: 1.5 mins (2 mins if it's proofread)

Average time to ignore a headline if it doesn't interest you: 0.25 secs (0.15 secs if you've had coffee)

Average time to read moronic comments on how offended they are that they wasted 0.25 seconds of their morning: 2 mins

Average time to conjure up calming thoughts to undo outrage at said moronic comments: 5 mins

So who's wasting the more time?

Jackasses.


PS The article is actually relevant to the on-going hacking iTouch series (oh, sorry, that's "iPod touch" with a little "t" before all the comments come through - jackasses), as the first attack vector for the Sony PSP back in the firmware 1.5 days was actually a JPEG buffer overflow.

Wow, you guys should stop worrying about meeting your posting requirements. Thank god for real Mac news sites.

Maybee you can transfer your pr0n pics over to neighbouring iPods and then easily sync em up to your Mac ?

Dunno just a theory here.
