Lost & Found at Disneyland
“At the end of the day, this dumb woman was so glad to see her little canary she took it out of the cage, and it went right into the trees of the Jungle Cruise,” McFaul says. “I didn’t tell them that hidden in the bushes — and definitely in the Jungle Cruise — are the most beastly cats. I thought, ‘That poor little bird lasted that long,’ ” she says, holding her fingers an inch apart.
Gonzales says his department used a name and number on an expensive camera to contact a family in San Diego about the item. But they had reported the camera stolen three years earlier. “The thief brought it to Disneyland, and we reclaimed it for them,” Gonzales says.
The white-haired McFaul says her matronly appearance allowed her to get away with giving a scolding to some visitors when she returned their valuables.

Teleporting Over the Internet
BBC:
Professors Todd Mowry and Seth Goldstein of Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania think that, within a human generation, we might be able to replicate three-dimensional objects out of a mass of material made up of small synthetic “atoms”.
Cameras would capture the movement of an object or person and then this data would be fed to the atoms, which would then assemble themselves to make up an exact likeness of the object.
They came up with the idea based on “claytronics,” the animation technique which involves slightly moving a model per frame to animate it.
