A few links on imaging and computation:

> I’ve concluded that the promise of RFID was eclipsed by another technology out there that’s poised to become more and more disruptive, not only to RFID, but to a host of technologies, and that’s the CCD.

> Cameras might allow a photographer to record a scene and then alter the lighting or shift the point of view, or even insert fictitious objects.

> The camera as a device you carry has completely disappeared. Image sensors have become part of the literal fabric of everyday life.
