Ritz single-use digital hacked

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.
