There
is a story today on Slashdot, the geek news site, that the Ritz single-use
digital camera has been hacked. The $10.99 two megapixel (CMOS) fixed
focal length camera with no LCD was announced in July and carries the
'Dakota Digital' name but is made by 'Pure Digital Technologies' of San
Francisco. Software has been wirtten which allows the pictures to be downloaded
to a computer using USB and printed without consent from Ritz. We said
back in July that we didn't think this was a good thing for consumers
and now its not good news for Ritz.
