The story loses little of its romance.

Startup camera maker Lytro has developed a new digital ‘light field’ technology that allows you to change the focus of a picture after you’ve taken it. What?
In layman’s terms it works something like this. When you take a picture, light is reflecting off various surfaces in various directions. A standard camera takes a ’shapshot’ of what it sees, recording the light that’s reflecting, but nothing about the direction. That gives you a standard photo. Light field pictures, however, also record information about the direction of the light, resulting in a picture that is more similar to a digital replica of the scene than a traditional ‘picture’ is. That is what lets you refocus.
For now, it’s just a tech demo with no release date, but rumours in the Geekniverse suggest that it’s only a matter of time before Apple snaps up the company.
PLAY WITH THE TECHNOLOGY HERE.
Kevin O’Sullivan. New editor of the Irish Times.
Among the early graduates of the Dublin City University journalism course, 1983. Which makes him the first commoner to edit the paper since Gageby the Younger in the 1500s.
At DCU Kevin vividly recalls being the target of classroom indifference. Sometimes he can still hear the sound of girls openly laughing at his typos.
At a newsroom speech this afternoon, he stood up to desk height and said in a crazed manner:
“Well, who’s laughing now?
Hahahahahahahahaha.
Yeah. That’s right. Kevin.
Hahahahahahaha.”
His plans for the IT include making the paper “more boxy”.
