Please don't clog up this thread with conspiracy theory images/posts. This is for discussion of the FBI press conference and images/suspects released. Go back to 4Chan if you want to pretend you are part of CSI.

had to laugh at the guy on cnn "as you can see the image quality is great"

why are we still using crappy cameras in 2013? I swear if everyone upgraded to better cameras we would solve a lot more stuff. storage is also cheap. I don't get it.

These are likely coming from private DVR systems setup for businesses, this is actually pretty good resolution for the off-the-shelf DVR kits.

Storage isn't cheap when you have to run several cameras 24x7. It would be at least several TB/day.

Seems the FBI is using the 4chan rule of thumb: alone, brown, black backpack, not watching.

I run 8 cameras on motion only in a high traffic area, color, no audio on a 1TB system. Using MPEG4 compression I can hold about 3-4 months of video.

FBI has more evidence then just what they released, I'm sure they have video/pictures of them placing the bombs, etc. But they aren't going to release that type of stuff as it is evidentiary in nature and could compromise the federal case.

I heard that since the guy in the white cap was taped talking on a cell phone and the video had a time stamp...that its most likey the cell phone call could be tracked and provide even most evidence to identify him...but then again he could have been faking talking on a cell phone.

I'm guessing it won't be long until they use kinect type technology along with very hidef cameras to be able to make 3d "sculptures" of suspects. Then they could have their build, height, appearance, gate, everything.

If those are "good quality" HD videos then I would print and then eat my post. :) I thought he was saying it would be easy to store quality HD videos (say at least a home hd cam quality at 6Mbps) and multiply them into X number of cameras on a busy area like Copley Square.

The only chance of finding the suspects of the Boston bombing now is if Obama says "Cue the sun" and makes sure everyone in first positions! Seriously though, I hope they get the Boston bomber(s) soon, its frightening they still have not been caught yet!!

I hope and pray that they capture the right folks, and don't create a mob mentality, and go after easy (and wrong) targets to satisy the pressure to get the folks responsible.

That said, the fella in the white hat has a huge nose - it should be easy to identify him, unless it was putty or fake to begin with.

That, that being said, while I hate things like this, and wars etc, it is always very awesome to see the tech that comes out of stuff like this, and how the government and agencies track people and things down.

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
