Not sure if anyone has seen this article, but its an interesting story and worth a read: http://expertvagabond.com/tracking-stolen-laptop/The guy had is macbook stolen, only to recover it 3 months later from Panama after he'd returned to the US by using laptop tracking software and outing the laptop thieves / purchasers on his blog.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
When I upload footage on SS, the thumbnails don't generate until after the images are accepted - if I'm entering image details it never gets beyond a broken image icon, and when they're rejected (which is 2 files so far for "poor editing") I don't actually get anything other than their filename, which makes it really hard to work out which files they're talking about.
Any suggestions?

There's a theory that keeps popping up in discussions of iStock's Best Match, that it now includes location data, and that the results you get will vary depending on where you're searching from.
I suggested in another thread that we try to do a small test to see whether this is in fact the case, and if so to get an idea of how much difference there is. I had some response to this, so thought I'd post another thread to see if we can organise a time to try it out, and hopefully get some responses from different locations.
What I suggest is that we set a common time (early next week?) and common search strings, then post a screenshot of the top results for each and see what comes out.
Any takers for participating & suggestions on search strings?

Hi Everyone
I'm going to be based in Bangkok for probably the next 12 months or so, and spending some time traveling from here around the region - was wondering if there was any interest from people who live in the region, or anyone planning to visit, to organise some sort of meet-up or event in the next 3-6 months?

Well it was never really open for business for most here, but it looks like we lost another one: We regret to inform you that Deutsche Telekom has decided to withdraw its Polylooks online photo agency from its portfolio. It is planned to phase out the service by December 31, 2010.

All image licenses already issued or sold to licensees before this termination date will remain valid after December 31, 2010 allowing licensees to continue using the purchased images in future.

There have been discussions in the past about unions and co-operative agencies.
I thought it would be timely to create a poll about whether people would be prepared to actively take part in establishing a new agency, owned by contributors that pays a significantly higher percentage of royalties to contributors.
The model I'm thinking of is based on some of the contributions on the threads in past. that is an agency made up of:
-of non-exclusive content based on traditional a microRF license
- exclusive content (per-image exclusivity) priced higher and licensed under a new micro-Rights Managed license.
This would allow current IS exclusives to contribute images under the RM license, and provide an avenue for independents to sell all images on a contributor owned site, including some at significantly higher rates and margins.
Financial contribution:
Clearly we're not looking for a commitment here, just an in principle indication. A broad aim could be 1000 contributors investing $1000 - to arrive at start-up capital of $1M.

Well I was catching a delta flight the other day and happened to flick though the in-flight magazine. Got to p110 and found one of my images, along with several other stock images which I suspect come from either Dreamstime or Shutterstock. Unfortunately there don't appear to be any photo credit listed for either the photos in question or the agencies used. Does anyone know if any of the agencies actually permit unattributed photo use? My impression was that this wasn't allowed, but I could be wrong. Has anyone encountered this situation before... if so what did you do? The magazine in question is here... look at p 110: http://msp.imirus.com/Mpowered/imirusApp.jsp?volume=ds09&issue=1&page=1

Ok I had assumed that I wasn't getting any sales from Snapvillage, and for the most part that was true - BUT - I checked the earnings logs a couple of days ago, and found that I had a sale of $28 plus a number of other random downloads that should have been paid out, but wasn't for whatever reason. The result was I sent a message to support requesting clarification and received a paypal payout of about $35 a day later.
For those who haven't checked their account lately, it might be worth a look to see if there hasn't been a similar glitch in the system for your files.

Ok... I know the best match on IS gets a lot of attention - partly because it always changes with devestating effect, but I'm wondering if anyone has noticed a change in the way the most popular images on SS are shown in the last day or so?
I know some contributors have commented on the lack of sales for new images, but I think they might be back... I have uploaded quite a lot lately, but I'm seeing about half of my top images made up of new photos, which is somewhat more than I expected, and a big change with some that only got approved yesterday hitting the top 2 spots.
More confusingly though, if I rank my photos by most popular, the order of photos in the same series isn't the same as the order when searching a keyword.
On top of that I had the most downloads of the week on a Friday, which I find highly unusual.
Anyone having any similar experiences??
