Tainted gyoza in China tied to Japan cases :DAILY YOMIURI ONLINE (The Daily Yomiuri)

Tainted gyoza in China tied to Japan cases : National : DAILY YOMIURI ONLINE (The Daily Yomiuri) talks about something that I’ve been hearing about from Japanese language sources for a while; an ongoing battle between Japan and China over tainted Gyoza (Pierogi). Japan blamed china. China blamed japan. Now China has admitted that it happened at their end. I’m worried that Canadians will be affected, as many brands of gyoza can be found in stores in chinatown. If the word doesn’t get out here, are people going to be hurt?

Nikon announces Coolpix P6000 with GPS: Digital Photography Review

Nikon has announced its flagship compact, the Coolpix P6000. Built around a 13.5 megapixel, 1/1.72 inch sensor (0.41 square cm), the camera has a 4x zoom starting at a respectably wide-angle - equivalent to 28mm. It also records RAW files in a new NRW format that can be converted in-camera or with the forthcoming Windows version of View NX or Windows Imaging Component compatible applications. The other stand-out feature is the inclusion of built-in GPS logging of the locations at which images were recorded. It is expected to start shipping in September for around $500/£429.99/€575.00.
