Most of us can get by with occasionally frequently checking our rear view mirror, but many bigger vehicles don’t offer quite the same visibility. Hence the market for bumper cams in general and for Magellan’s new Wireless Back-Up Camera in particular. The $150 add-on exploits the 7-inch LCD on your RoadMate 1700 or 9055, thereby avoiding the clutter of an independent system . The waterproof and dustproof camera fixes to your license plate and connects to a transmitter in your trunk, which then beams the feed to a receiver attached to your GPS. The system activates automatically when you go into reverse and boasts a 120-degree field of view, 45-degrees of vertical angle adjustment and a 45-foot range. The PR with full details is just a click away. Oh, and it helps if you remember to brake .

The retro X100 brought out all our kleptomaniacal tendencies when we first went hands-on , and it has since impressed virtually every other lucky soul who’s come into contact with its build quality and groundbreaking integration of a big APS-C sensor within a compact body. But, just as you often find in extremely beautiful humans, the camera’s brains were slightly haywire: in particular, it tended to forget or confusingly alter crucial ISO, dynamic range, macro and drive settings when shifting between shooting modes. Fortunately though, many of these niggles can now be nuked by downloading firmware update v1.10 at the source link. The update promises a total of 22 fixes and modifications, which are listed in full in the PR after the break. Of course, some annoying issues will remain outstanding with this $1,200 shooter, including slow focus-by-wire MF and strangely buried menu settings. We don’t know if they’ll ever be fixed, but the next time we get hold of one it’ll still be a morality-pounding wrench to give it back.

ALBANY, N.Y. – Same-sex marriage is legal in New York after Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill that was narrowly passed by state lawmakers late Friday, handing activists a breakthrough victory in the state where the gay-rights movement was born. New York will be the sixth state where gay couples can wed, and the biggest by far. “We are leaders and we join other proud states that recognize our families, and the battle will now go on in other states,” said Sen. Thomas Duane, a Democrat. Gay-rights advocates are hoping the vote will galvanize the movement around the country and help it regain momentum after an almost identical bill was defeated in New York in 2009 and similar measures failed in…

WASHINGTON – Rejecting President Obama’s policy in Libya, the House in a bipartisan vote Friday rejected a resolution that would have for the first time officially authorized U.S. military action there. But the House then voted down a more aggressive rebuke of Obama: a proposal to strip away part of the funding for the Libyan campaign. The mixed decision, which surprised Republican leaders, could ease congressional pressure on Obama, at least for now. “I think we sent a message to the president on the first vote,” said House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., downplaying the defeat of the second vote. “The first vote…
