Smile... looking good, gorgeous, as ever! It wasn't just you that my

camera captured just then. Along with millions of pixels digital

photographs can take a ton of other information. Your location. Shutter

speed./Settings. The list is amazingly long. For years all this

extra information was largely ignored by everyone except the pros,

but these days apps and software used by we mere mortals are using

more and more of this metadata. It could be time to give it a little

bit of respect as Ian Hardy explains in New York. Turnover your

photos from decades long gone and you might find scribblings on the

back. Who? What? When? Where? That was your grandfather's version of

metadata. But today's digital photo filed not only collects all the

technical information, but allows shooters to add many personal

details as well. Metadata or software used to be a pros only

world, but the Giants, Lightroom and aperture, have both dropped

their prices dramatically. And Linn has emerged of ring the ability for

anyone to add captions, key words, and other metadata quickly and

efficiently. But photographers in the 21st century, like Alan Shapiro,

face another problem. They need to insure the metadata, which can

include but important copyright information, sticks to be

photographed wherever it goes online. Traditionally that has been

tricky. Metadata is important to anyone, whether you're a

professional or amateur, anyone who wants to share their photograph, be

it with family... I have had family come for family reunions and some

of them want photos, I just send them to my SmugMug website, I don't

sell to them, I could, but I don't, because I like them. They can

download and all of the data I have added to my photo travels with it.

SmugMug has become popular with photographers because it was one of

the first to acknowledge the importance of metadata and leave it

intact throughout the import, storage, export and distribution

process. Some websites strip it without warning to say bandwidth

costs. But creating metadata or with photographs can be a tedious

and time-consuming project. Photosmith 3 is a tablet app that

sinks with Lightroom and catalogues on ago. The first two versions

released by part-time developers that started it as a hobby got

mixed reviews primarily because of an Apple's ioS restrictions, but

this version will finely and chain photographers from their desktops

and laptops forever. It puts metadata into the hands of the

amateur for the first time in the mobile space. There's At the chalk

and Lightroom in the desktop and laptop space, but in terms of

mobile tagging it is not there on the iPad. You can edit the exposure

but you can't edit the metadata in any meaningful way. Are the most

logical moment to add metadata is when the camera is clicked or the

few seconds after. Devices can already at GLS -- GPS co-ordinates

and identify people within the frame. The next batch of cameras

might be able to take dictation on the spot, turn it into text and

added to the file. Photographic metadata has become very important

for a whole new genre of apps. Paul Mayne is the inventor of the

incredibly simple Day One. One way of recording your thoughts is to

open the app whenever something happens and start typing. The entry

created will be time, date and location sensitive. But if it is

not convenient to stop and type you can simply take a photo with your

device and wait until later when the image metadata becomes

invaluable to the app. You add that photo to the entry, it immediately

prompts you, would you like to change the entry to this photos day

and this location? At that moment it all grab the weather, up to 30

days back. From there you can expand and start writing about who

you were with and what you were doing, what you ate, things like

that. Everpix is another kind of record keeping apps with the

ambitious goal of finding the meaning within your photographs. It

sucks up your collection and repackage his it, having analysed

metadata and semantic information. Algorithms look at the pixels and

try to work out what is actually happening in the picture. It then

displays one or two great shots of each event which hopefully triggers

more memories for the viewer, who can then start digging down in more

detailed. Collections are massive. There's a lot of photos. For, light,

users, they end up being, like, last under an avalanche of data

which paradoxically becomes like a noise. You take a lot, you want to

remember a lot, you want to take with you a lot, and then, you know,

in two or three days it is just noise, you lose it. Despite the

enormous upside of keeping metadata intact There's also the flipside to

consider. Loading photos on to your favourite social media website

without stripping personal information out just the host and

potentially the world a whole new sense of who you are, where you are

and what you have been up to. The Ian Hardy. For more information

than you can possibly handle. Next up, a look at this week's Tech News.

US prosecutors had taken down a digital cash exchange they say was

used by cyber criminals to launder around $6 billion. Costa Rica based

Liberty Reserve had essentially function as a black market Bank and

allegedly process 55 million transactions for its one million

users. They were engaged in credit card fraud, hacking and child

pornography from the Stock Facebook said it will review how it deals

with controversial, harmful and hateful contender after admitting

current measures are ineffective. It follows sustained pressure after

a spate of recent incidents, including videos of real life

beheadings being shared across the site. Meanwhile socials Grant

booking platform Pinterest said it will allow nudity, despite its

previous efforts to come up with innovative ways to block it. The

world's largest equipment firm has developed face tracking technology

to prevent accidents caused by fatigue. Caterpillar's DSS system

uses a camera to detect a driver's pupil size, how frequently they

blink and how often they are keeping their eyes shut. Finally

this original Apple computer from 1976 has sold at a German auction

for more than $650,000. The Apple Wolverhampton Wanderers consisting

of just this motherboard went to an anonymous buyer in Asia. It was one

of the first 50 built by Steve mozzie Yak- and Steve Jobs. It is

one of only six still working. Technology continues to worm its

way into all of our lives, not just in our house -- hands and our homes,

but into our cities and on to its structures to. It's no surprise

that in the global heartland of San Francisco have it has found its way

on to an iconic landmark. We went to meet the hi-tech art is to has

been making the Bay Bridge even Every day at dusk, the San

Francisco Bay Bridge sparkles to life. And a mesmerising array of

LEDs dances across the bridges suspension cables. Call the

daylights, this aid million-dollar work of art celebrates the bridge's

7th -- 70th birthday -- $8 million. This LED sculptor, the world's

largest, would not exist if it were not for technology. How do you lock

meant an iconic landmark? This artist started with 25,000 lights -

- augment. This is intelligent lighting. There have been a lot of

bridges that have been lit, but not with this sort of thing where you

have 25,000 individual controllable points. The LEDs, made by Philips,

are off the shelf. But it is doubtful many use them the way that

Villarreal has. From start to finish it was a 2.5 year Endeavour,

filled with hurdles. The physical challenges were how do we installed

these LEDs, where do we put the power supply? How do we get day 2

to them? They all have to receive data. They have huge racks of

routers and all kinds of things that you would associate with an IT

project and not with an art work. At light -- at night when traffic

was alive -- at its lightest they installed over 700 power and data

boxes. The main brain of the daylights is secured in the

bridge's beefy central Anchorage. Even this seemingly basic plastic

clip, which fastens the LEDs and courts to the bridge table, is the

result of hi-tech workmanship. To design is part entrepreneur Timothy

Childs and his team embark on six weeks of rapid prototyping using a

3D printer. The cool thing about 3D printing, we were able to to 10

different exact shade of the Channel to hold the wires perfectly.

50,000 of these polycarbonate clips firmly attached the LEDs to the

bridge. With the massive canvas in place, it was Leo Villarreal's turn

to put tenons -- technology at work. Its light can be controlled

individually -- each light. My challenge is to figure out what

number is to send the light to. Each is expecting one bike. 25,000

bites at least 30 times a second across the bridge. Of the end

result is an epic display of patterns which will never repeats

during the two-year installation. Watch the daylights and you will

see hints of rainfall. Maybe the Matrix. Or maybe stardust. What you

won't see are the racks, routers and software that made it all

We have talked about the fact that these things can take pretty good

photos and videos these days, if you have the time, you can get some

really good results, you could even make a half-decent movie. But what

happens if you want to BDO that special event and you only have one

shot at it? The best thing to do is to get...

If there is one thing social media has shown us, is that we can be

spectacularly self- obsessed, from minor status Updates to food

worship. Sharing our well it with the wider world is becoming second

nature. -- our world. They now it is moving beyond the text and

pictures. Twitter bought a app that offers six-second segments to shed.

On the horizon, Google Glass readily catches your point of view,

and shares it online. The thing is, even these so-called social video

services are captured from a single source, you, and most would

struggle to meet any modicum of quality control. Say goodbye to

your shoddy singular shot, and beat her load to crowdsourced coverage.

Biclone is an app that automatically edits to get up

footage promotable mobiles in the same room, at the same time. It can

synchronise up to four videos at a time to make a malty and called

edit of an event, especially handy at memorable occasions. Already

available for Apple and android, it has recently been integrated into

the Windows Power what Nokia 925. Streamweaver works in the same way.

It plays the video in a split screen format, like a CCTV monitor.

Hardly a Scorsese masterpiece, but great for discovering different

perspectives. But the last thing most people think about when

recording video is the sound. Until you play it back. If you are at a

concert, a good audio is crucial. 45Sound replaces rubbish audio from

our mobiles with high quality sound, straight from the mixing desk at a

Qantas, leaving us to it concentrate on getting the best

shot we can. -- a concert. This is an incredible view, it is not

generally available, unless you are the artist or the crew. But this is

not bad. Maybe back here is a bit of a stretch. But it does not

matter where you sit, because this app also mixes together footage

from everyone in the room, to create an overall concert video.

Instead of geotagging, the clips have to be directly uploaded to 45

sound's side, and it is there where the magic happens. It isn't with

Those kind of cliched camera shots, we want, I want to it and watch me

is exactly as the fans saw. It is not just the fans and the company,

artists are encouraged to take part with deep promise of a nicely made

crackly, grey anything on the video. It is the whole interaction. --

grainy thing. To come a long and feel like you are getting closer to

the artist, but with many apps, is sharing caring? If you video a band

and then upload it, there are lots of Copyright questions. Who owns

the copyright in the video? In theory, you should, as the person

you recorded it. But when you up load it on to a site, it will

depend on the terms and conditions as to whether you are giving away

the Copyright. The terms and conditions on the ticket back to

port may also say something about the rights. The video sharing

extends into practical uses as well. Imagine wanting to find out how the

queue is light at your favourite sandwich shop, where that there are

parking spaces available at your local supermarket. Koozoo S A San

Francisco app completely found it on video sharing. -- is. It will

show you up to the minute information about local services,

or maybe just an insight into the state of your street. Assuming they

have permission to film. If a TV company goes out, they get

permission from everybody there. People on their iPhone are not

doing that. Surely it will only work with all these apps when

enough people want to record a video to keep the start-ups in

business, but if collaborative video does catch on, and we will

have more ways to capture, mix and share our treasured memories with

more people than ever before. Back in April, we reported on

Google afterlife, which is the unofficial life given today in

active account manager, which lets you bequeath your data to someone

you trust. But what if you do not want your digital like to be over,

when your biological one comes to an end? It sounds morbid, but Kate

Russell has an app fort that as well.

No-one wants to think about death, but if it does come suddenly, would

you be comforted by the chance to lead a final message for your loved

ones? Do you think they will be comforted? That is the premise

behind a Facebook app that lets you record a Web can message and

assigned trustees who will report your death to the app, so your

final thoughts can be posted postmortem. Taking it one step

further, DeadSocial lets you schedule posts at these into the

future, uploading video or text so you can keep posting photos of your

breakfast or perhaps more appropriately, wishing your social

media buddies happy birthday from well beyond the grave. It may seem

a bit creepy, but I can see how it will be comforting to note that you

can see -- lead some last words were your friends and loved ones.

One afterlife app that goes beyond a good idea is lives on .org. It's

tag line is, when your heart stops beating, you will keep on tweeting.

It claims you will analyse your tweet so it can keep on posting

about stuff you like after you are gone. It is not actually up and

running yet, but assuming they get it developed and improved in your

lifetime, you can sign up for news on the site. If you look up into

the sky at night and wonder what you are singing but do not have a

smartphone running one of those fancy GPS stargazer apps to inform

you, never fear. Art of Stars is here. This app uses your IP address,

which is the unique identifier of your computer on the Web to draw a

map, so it really is using all of the technological Bells and

whistles to deliver a map of the stars over your head, into your

browser. The result is beautifully simple, a star chart in your

browser. I do not know about you, but as soon as anyone points a

camera at me, I get an overwhelming urge to plink. Windows Phone 8

owners can do away with that, with Link, a free photo editing tool

that takes a burst of frames, so you can quickly choose which one is

best. This app is great for capturing action shots as well,

like a dog leading to catch a ball, or your children leaping into a

swimming pool. Just point, shoot, and pick the perfectly-timed

exposure to share. If you are more of a words person, this fine game

also caught my eye, for windows pictures, one word. But again you

guess what it is? His is a great little filler game on the train. It
