Eye-Fi Pro X2 (16GB)


The 16GB Eye-Fi Pro X2 ($99.99 direct) is the largest capacity Eye-Fi SD card, and the most full-featured yet. It promises to do quite a bit: Wirelessly transfer photos from your camera to your home computer, phone, or tablet, add GPS data to images, and support both standard JPG and Raw image formats. If you're using the card to transfer photos to your computer it works without hiccups, but the mobile experience leaves a lot to be desired.

Features, Setup, At-Home Use
The Pro X2 adds a few features over the $60 8GB Eye-Fi Mobile X2 . With the Mobile X2, you don't get Raw transfer or geotagging support, and it's a bit slower due to its Class 6 speed rating (the Pro X2 is Class 10).
Because the Eye-Fi's Wi-Fi radio draws power from your camera, battery life will be noticeably shorter than when you're using a standard SD card.

In order to configure the Eye-Fi, you'll need to install an application on your PC or Mac?it's preloaded on the card itself, so you can do so by plugging it into your SD card reader. You're walked through setting up an account which lets you manage your card and activate your phone?there's a separate app that you'll need to download for your iOS or Android device to complete that part. This is also where you add Wi-Fi network information to the Eye-Fi, so it can connect automatically.

Setting up the card to work with your network is straightforward, and the card works well in a home-network environment. You can shoot away around the house or studio and images will automatically transfer to a designated folder on your computer?it's also possible to set the Eye-Fi to only transfer photos you select, which is better if you plan on using the card to push only the shots you want on social networks or photo sharing sites. If you've been out and about shooting, just turn your camera on when you get home and the transfer will start automatically.

Mobile Use, Endless Memory, Conclusions
But what about those times when you're away from your home network? You can set up Direct Mode, which turns the Eye-Fi into a hotspot, so that you can transfer photos directly to your phone. It's not a seamless experience?first you'll have to go into your phone settings and change the settings in the app to make the Eye-Fi card the destination for photos?you can't configure the software to send photos to both your phone and your computer. Direct Mode is only available when the card is out of range of known Wi-Fi networks?you won't be able to transfer photos to your phone when your home Wi-Fi is available for use?unless you first plug the card into your computer and delete the record of your home network, or unplug your router.

The iOS app leaves a lot to be desired. It's easy to share JPGs via email, but if you want to email a Raw photo to yourself you won't be able to?the option is there, but it doesn't work, it just creates a blank email. If you go into your iOS photo library you can email a JPG version of the Raw image, but that's it. You'll also have to perform all types of file management from the iOS photo library?you can't delete images from within the Eye-Fi app, nor is there a way to browse photos on the card via the phone as you can with a Wi-Fi camera like the Samsung WB850F . It's best to use the Eye-Fi app only to transfer photos and to use the normal functions of your phone to share them via mail, text, or social networks.

If you find yourself shooting gigs and gigs of photos and video, you'll be interested in the Endless Memory feature, which is included with every Eye-Fi card. Once your card starts to fill up (you can set the threshold) photos that have been successfully transferred to your computer are deleted to free up space. With 16GB available you'll have to shoot a lot to have it kick in, but if you opt to buy the 4GB Eye-Fi Connect X2 ?you might find yourself taking advantage of it. The company also offers a cloud storage service for photos and videos, although that will cost you an extra $50 per year.

The geotagging function only works if you're within range of a Wi-Fi network?there's no actual GPS built into the device. It picks up the location data from via the Skyhook network, and is pretty accurate?but if you're shooting in an area where there's no Wi-Fi it won't work?you'll need a camera with a built-in GPS like the Sony Alpha 77 ?to bridge that gap. If you already have an Eye-Fi Connect X2 or Mobile X2, you can add geotagging support to the card for $30.

At just under $100, the Eye-Fi Pro X2 is too expensive for what it delivers?especially when you can get an 8GB Eye-Fi Mobile X2 for $60 and only lose a bit of functionality and speed. If a 4GB card suits your needs, the Connect X2 can be had for $40?its functions are identical to the Mobile X2.?As it stands, the Eye-Fi system makes it difficult for shooters who want to transfer files wirelessly at home or in the studio, but also want to be able to transfer the occasional photo to their cell phone for a quick tweet, Facebook share, or Foursquare check-in?going back and to change settings in the Eye-Fi software isn't convenient. If you only want to do one or the other, however, your experience will be a lot more pleasant.

If you're looking for a more streamlined Wi-Fi experience, you may want to consider saving the $100 and putting it together with your other pennies in order to invest in a new camera. The Samsung WB850F is a little over $300, but has a long zoom lens and Wi-Fi built-in. The Samsung Galaxy Camera is more expensive at $500, but packs the Android operating system and cellular data, so you can upload photos to the Web even when there isn't Wi-Fi. If a point-and-shoot doesn't suit your standards for quality you can invest in a Samsung NX1000 , an APS-C compact interchangeable lens camera that has Wi-Fi and can push photos to Twitter or Facebook with ease, or you can go all-in on Canon's full-frame EOS 6D D-SLR, the first in its class to have built-in Wi-Fi.

Best bets: 'Dark Knight Rises' hits home video

By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, NBC News

It's a quiet week in the entertainment world, but we've found three picks for the week ahead. Batman's final chapter (for now) comes to home video, as does a wonderful and little-seen Oscar contender. And Bill Murray puts comedy aside to play President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in a new movie.

TUESDAY: 'Dark Knight Rises' on DVD and Blu-ray
"Dark Knight Rises" was garnering only positive headlines from all corners, and then a horrific shooting at a theater in Colorado forever unjustly marred its name. But the film itself stands alone as an absorbing and action-packed wrap-up for director Christopher Nolan's trilogy. Information about the home video extras have been leaking out, and?one of the most interesting featurettes?reveals secrets behind the famed football field explosion, where real NFLer Hines Ward scores a touchdown for the Gotham Rogues only to turn slowly and look back at the devastated field. (Out on DVD and Blu-ray Dec. 4.)

TUESDAY: 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' on DVD and Blu-ray
You may not have heard of the fantastical drama "Beasts of the Southern Wild," but you'll hear its name again come Oscar time. Child actress?Quvenzhan? Wallis (just 5 at the time of filming) plays 6-year-old Hushpuppy, a bayou child in a world where prehistoric Aurochs are about to be released from melting ice caps. (Stay with us here.) She has a sick father, a missing mother, and a mess of troubles. The film won the Camera d'Or award at Cannes and the Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic at Sundance. It's arty and odd enough that it probably never made it to your mall multiplex, but now you can see it at home. (Out on DVD and Blu-ray Dec. 4.)

FRIDAY: 'Hyde Park on the Hudson'
Bill Murray as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt? That's the fact, Jack. The comedian has played serious before, though it hasn't always worked out. (1984's "The Razor's Edge" was a giant flop.) "Hyde Park on the Hudson" features Murray's FDR ?pursuing an affair with his own cousin (Laura Linney) and hosting the young King and Queen of England as World War II approaches. That's a lot of historical and personal baggage, and it'll be interesting to see how Murray handles it. (In theaters Dec. 7)?

greece wins easier debt terms as european union hails ... - sreaves32

By?James G. Neuger, Stephanie Bodoni and Jonathan Stearns?-?Bloomberg

European finance ministers eased the terms on emergency aid for?Greece, declaring after three years of false starts that?Europe?has found the formula for nursing the debt-stricken country back to health.

In the latest bid to keep the 17-nation euro intact, the ministers cut the rates on bailout loans, suspended interest payments for a decade, gave Greece more time to repay and engineered a Greek bond buyback. The country was also cleared to receive a 34.4 billion-euro ($44.7 billion) loan installment in December. Greek bonds rose.

?This has been a very difficult deal,? Luxembourg Prime Minister?Jean-Claude Juncker?told reporters in Brussels after chairing a 13-hour meeting that ended early today. ?All initiatives decided upon today will bring Greece?s public debt clearly back on a sustainable path.?

After 240 billion euros in loan pledges and the biggest writedown of privately held debt failed to turn Greece around, the creditor governments led by?Germany?proclaimed the latest fix just as they grappled with swelling financing needs in Cyprus and a potential aid request by Spain, the fourth-largest euro economy.

?New Day?

In?Athens, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras went on national television after midnight to celebrate a ?new day? for Europe?s most debt-ridden country. While the financing pact rewarded the government?s budget cuts and steps to overhaul the economy, Greece will have to deliver on its commitments to earn each payout.

Gains made by the euro in the wake of the deal evaporated as investors asked how it will work. The currency was down 0.2 percent to $1.2950 at 12:50 p.m. in Brussels. Doubters questioned whether Greece can stomach further economic discipline and whether the bond buyback will generate enough savings. A shortfall would put outright debt relief, anathema to northern creditor countries, back on the agenda.

?This leaves some uncertainty over the deal,? said?Christian Schulz, an economist at Berenberg Bank in?London. Below-target proceeds from the buyback ?could again raise the discussion about an official sector debt writedown.?

Euro-area finance ministers sold the accord, blessed by the?International Monetary Fund?and?European Central Bank, as a milestone in fighting the debt crisis, much as the first two Greek loan packages were once touted as solutions.

Bond Holdings

The ECB chipped in by steering profits from its Greek bond holdings back into the rescue program. National governments will funnel their share of the profits to Greece?s bailout account, getting around rules that bar the politically autonomous central bank from directly lending to the state.

?I very much welcome the decisions taken by the ministers of finance,? ECB President?Mario Draghi?said. ?They will certainly reduce the uncertainty and strengthen confidence in Europe and in Greece.?

The batch of measures will help pare Greece?s debt from 190 percent of gross domestic product in 2014 to 124 percent of GDP in 2020, a target set by the IMF as its condition for continuing to fund a third of the Greek program. One IMF concession was to raise that target from 120 percent.

?These are solid commitments that should help Greece to recover enough and regain access to markets as planned if it takes reform measures to improve its competitiveness,? IMF Managing Director?Christine Lagarde?said.

10-Year Bonds

Greek 10-year bonds advanced, pushing the yield down 19 basis points to 16.32 percent. It took four crisis meetings to seal the accord, starting with a Nov. 12 decision to give Greece two extra years, until 2016, to cut its?budget deficit?? an admission that the austerity-first prescription for solving the crisis is strangling the?Greek economy.

Scraping together the money to fill the resulting financial hole while simultaneously slicing the debt was a math exercise with political overtones. From the start, Germany, the dominant country in the?crisis management, ruled out forgiving any of Greece?s publicly held debt.

Debt relief would be legally questionable, German Finance Minister?Wolfgang Schaeuble?said. It would also be politically toxic for?Chancellor Angela Merkel, running for a third term next year on the promise that Greece won?t cost German taxpayers an additional cent.

Greece?s Economy

With?Greece?s economy?shrinking unceasingly since the third quarter of 2008, the IMF had called for further concessions by the European creditors, doubting that Greece would generate enough output,?tax revenue?or asset-sale receipts to slash the debt.

?We didn?t discuss a debt cut,? Schaeuble said after the meeting. ?It?s out of the question.??Finland?and the Netherlands, also with top credit ratings, balked at debt relief as well, dismissing warnings by the IMF and some ECB officials that writeoffs might be the only way out.

?Finland?s conditions were fulfilled,? Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen said. ?New loans won?t be granted to Greece.?

Still, lower bailout rates, the interest-payment suspension and the delay of Greece?s final repayment deadline until the 2040s will leave taxpayers in the northern creditor countries with smaller-than-planned profits from lending to Greece.

Parliaments in Germany, Finland and the Netherlands have insisted on approving the accord, with Dec. 13 set as the deadline for a formal decision to unlock the next Greek aid tranche. Final IMF endorsement hinges on Greece completing the bond buyback.

?Constructive Ambiguity?

In addition, the ministers vowed ?further measures and assistance? ? such as another cut in bailout rates and an increase in European infrastructure subsidies ? once Greece posts an operating budget surplus. French Finance Minister?Pierre Moscovici?said the possible future concessions were couched in ?constructive ambiguity,? a hint that the debt- relief debate may flare back up.

To make the package palatable for bailout-weary creditor parliaments, unprecedented controls were built into how Greece spends the money. An account devoted to debt servicing was strengthened and the payout of future aid installments was keyed to the Greek government delivering on economic pledges.

?Euro-zone countries have put their money where their mouth is,? said?Carsten Brzeski, an economist at ING Group NV in Brussels. ?However, it is clearly not a carte blanche for Greece but rather a very tight leash.?

The disbursement of 9.3 billion euros in the first quarter of 2013, for example, is tied to experts from the European Union, ECB and IMF certifying that the Greek government met a January deadline for carrying out a?tax reform.

?The big challenge now is to implement the decisions,? Greek Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras said. ?Greece has huge potential.?

Secession Theology Runs Deep In American Religious, Political ...

(RNS) Corruption has gone too far. The righteous must break away. Hope now rests with a holy remnant that will honor foundational texts.

The message sounds familiar. A church schism? No, mounting calls for secession from the United States.

Since President Obama won re-election, more than 750,000 Americans have petitioned the White House website to let their respective states secede, from Alaska to Iowa to Maryland and Vermont. Those leading the charge are framing it, observers say, in terms that suggest a deep-seated religious impulse for purity-through-separation is flaring up once again.

But this time, it's playing out on a political stage.

"Today's secessionist movements are just the latest example of a long parade of breakaway groups (in American history) seeking to restore some lost ideal," said Peter J. Thuesen, professor of religious studies at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. "The problem is that the ideal is invariably a mirage."

Seeking purity through separation has marked American religious history since the Puritans sailed from Holland to establish a holy beacon in the New World. It helps explain why Baptists, Presbyterians and others have splintered into countless subgroups over the years, and why the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina disaffiliated from the Episcopal Church this fall.

The pattern commonly involves one group breaking off to re-establish a holy community by living in fresh accord with sacred texts. Religious purists have the Bible to guide their quest; secessionists look to the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Both insist these centers of authority have suffered neglect and must be restored.

"That's a persistent line of thought," said Alan Wolfe, director of the Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life at Boston College. "There are people who are disappointed with the direction the United States has taken. ... It's primarily political and economic, and then they just find a religious cover for it (as) they tap into pre-existent religious language."

Dismissing the United States as hopelessly corrupt, secessionists are picking up the breakaway-for-purity motif and running with it. Radio host Alex Jones, whose show airs in 60 markets, alleged on Nov. 15 that "foreign megabanks have hijacked the government" and have made secession necessary.

"We do not want to secede from the Union to destroy the republic, but to restore it," Jones said. "Go to the White House website. Do your own petitions to reinstall the Declaration of Independence. ... It's now time to launch the second American Revolution."

Secessionists, such as Russell Longcore of Marietta, Ga., take inspiration from history. He sees secession as pursuit of God-given liberty, such as when American colonies seceded from Britain in 1776, when Southern states left the Union in the 1860s and when the Soviet Union dissolved into 15 separate states two decades ago.

In his view, petitioning the federal government is "silly" because states don't need permission to secede, but he regards the petitioners' goal as nonetheless serious and moral in nature.

"The moral decay comes from the fact that Washington, D.C., has summarily ignored the Constitution," said Longcore, an insurance claims consultant who blogs at dumpdc.com. He offered the example of unsanctioned wars.

"Article One, Section Eight (of the Constitution) says Congress should have authority to declare war and to prosecute a war," Longcore said. "There hasn't been a declared war since World War II, but we've been in an awful lot of wars."

Other narratives help secessionists, as well as religious isolationists, understand their efforts as part of a noble tapestry. Evangelical groups have for years supported Christians in South Sudan, which broke off from Sudan last year after persistent clashes with Muslims in the north. Some now laud how Sudanese Christians separated and hope American Christians would do similarly by withdrawing at least culturally, if not legally.

Those inspired by such examples include Jim Rawles, an evangelical blogger and novelist who teaches survival skills for the coming day when America's economy collapses. He sees no point in seceding, since the federal government would "hammer" such efforts anyway.

Instead, he's getting more response these days, he says, to his call for Bible-believing Christians, Orthodox Jews and Messianic Jews to relocate to what he calls the American Redoubt: Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, eastern Washington and eastern Oregon.

One reason he gives on his website for separation: "Even if God has withdrawn his blessings from our nation as a whole, he will continue to provide for and to protect his remnant."

"It's time to distance ourselves from the vile corruptness that we see inside the Washington, D.C., Beltway," said Rawles, who blogs at survivalblog.com. "It is analogous to the Puritan exodus (from Europe). They couldn't fit in and said,'We're going to move to completely virgin territory and start afresh.' ... In effect, we're becoming pistol-packing Amish."

Some scholars still aren't buying it. As Wolfe sees it, calls for secession and cultural withdrawal are just sour grapes.

"It's not religious in inspiration at all," Wolfe says. "It's like in the Old South, where if you gave (secession) a religious cover, you made it sound better. But it's just people who basically have difficulty accepting that we have a two-party system. One party wins. One party loses."

But separatists insist the impulse to flee corruption and live rightly before God is genuine. And if that means clustering in ever more secluded enclaves, then so be it.

"The Bible teaches that the remnant will be small," Rawles said. "People who recognize that they are of the remnant, that they are God's elect, will in increasing numbers choose to vote with their feet."

Would You Ever Name Your Child After a Gadget?

Because all the good names are already taken, it's tempting for mothers to just pop out a kid, look around the room, and say I name thee Curtain Rod. But even that would be preferable to the actual rise in people naming their kids after technology. More »

Boeing, engineers tentatively agree to resume talks

(Reuters) - Boeing Co and the union that represents its 23,000 engineers tentatively agreed to resume labor talks on Tuesday, after their negotiations on a new contract ended abruptly on Thursday.

But tension rose as the two sides sparred over efforts to engage a federal mediator to help them reach a new labor contract.

Boeing said late on Friday that the union had declined its offer to attend meetings with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service in Washington, D.C., on Monday.

The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) said it had contacted the mediator before Boeing did, and was waiting for Boeing to confirm dates for meetings next week that it had arranged.

"We told SPEEA we'd like to start meeting with a federal mediator Tuesday in Seattle," Boeing spokesman Doug Alder said. "We are still working out the details with SPEEA and the mediator."

SPEEA's chief said the union was willing to meet, too, and with a different mediator if necessary.

"I've responded that we have a mediator assigned to us ... but if Boeing is dissatisfied with that mediator, they need to take that up with FMCS not us," Ray Goforth, SPEEA executive director, said.

"We also don't see the need to meet in a hotel. I offered to meet on Boeing property if that would make them comfortable."

The two sides have been negotiating since April to replace a labor contract that expired November 25.

The union has balked at a Boeing contract that it says would cut the growth rate of compensation of professional and technical employees. Boeing says its latest offer is much improved over its initial proposal and reflects a tough competitive environment.

Talks broke down Thursday after Boeing said it wanted a mediator.

The dispute comes as Boeing looks to speed up jet production from 52 a month to about 60 a month by the end of next year. A walkout by the union could stop production.

Peter Arment, an analyst with Sterne, Agee & Leach, expressed hope that the dispute would be resolved with mediation. He noted strikes by SPEEA were rare, with the last one occurring in 2000.

"There's still time for this to be resolved long before it would affect Boeing's commercial aircraft production," Arment said.

Shares of Boeing edged down 3 cents to $74.09 in Friday trading.
