Covert operations have often been the subject of popular novels, films, TV series, comics, etc. The Company is a fictional covert organization featured in the American television drama/thriller series Prison Break. In a covert operation, the identity of the sponsor is concealed, while in a clandestine operation the operation itself is concealed. Put differently, clandestine means “hidden,” while covert means “deniable”. The term stealth refers both to a broad set of tactics aimed at providing and preserving the element of surprise and reducing enemy resistance and to a set of technologies ( stealth technology ) to aid in those tactics. While secrecy and stealthiness are often desired in clandestine and covert operations, the terms secret and stealthy are not used to formally describe types of missions.
According to the U.S. Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, a covert operation (also as CoveOps or covert ops ) is “an operation that is so planned and executed as to conceal the identity of or permit plausible denial by the sponsor.” It is intended to create a political effect which can have implications in the military, intelligence or law enforcement arenas. Covert operations aim to fulfill their mission objectives without any parties knowing who sponsored or carried out the operation.
Look around the web today and you’ll see a whole pile of articles telling compact camera makers how worried they should be about the imaging capabilities of the new iPhone 4S. To an extent, it’s true. The iPhone camera has already showed how powerful it is when it comes to sheer volume of images created with it. Now it’s time for it to start catching up in quality. We’ll still take a dedicated camera over a cell phone camera every time. But, the difference isn’t what it once was.
Picture sharing has also made us more aggressive in situations in which we feel insecure, such as in the presence of celebrities. Susan Sontag described the essentially hostile nature of taking pictures as a form of “soft” murder. In the age of cell phones, this scalp-hunting sensibility is achieving full flower. Let’s say you’re in Asbury Park and you see Bruce Springsteen with his kids. The old impulse would have been to ask the Boss if you could take your picture with him. The new impulse is to snap the shot with a cell phone camera and sell it to a site like Scoopt . No wonder famous people don’t want to hang out with us.
The cell phone technology is similar. The camera phone takes digital images of the front and the back of the check and transmits those to the bank. The bank’s computer system then reads the amount and all the important banking information it needs to make the deposit, such as the routing number, the check writer’s account number, and check number. It also checks the image of the back of the check to verify your signature. The information is encrypted scrambled to prevent hackers from getting it during transmission.
The cameras in cell phones just keep getting better and better. Features like autofocus, flash, and high-resolution image sensors have made grainy, unfocused, washed-out cell-phone shots largely a thing of the past. Still, they’re not up to par with dedicated digital cameras, that come equipped with larger image sensors and features like optical image stabilization. And all cell-phone cameras aren’t created equal. For example, the Apple iPhone 4 offers 5-megapixel captures, while the inexpensive Samsung Contour SCH-R250 can only deliver tiny 0.3-megapixel VGA-quality photos? that’s like shooting pictures with a webcam.
The cell phone camera, constant companion, has also been championed as an anti-crime device. There have been several Rodney King moments, with bystanders pulling out their cameras to record sketchy police activity. One woman took a shot of a flasher on a New York subway, a photo that ended up on the cover of the New York Post the next day. There is also a mini-boom in sites to catch people who park like idiots , stare too long , and mistreat your kids.
Cell phones have dramatically changed modern life, especially with the addition of cameras, Web browsers, GPS, and other features. But even more than their increasingly sophisticated capabilities, the fundamental cultural power of cell phones comes from the fact that so many people have them. If they were simply a novelty, confined to a small circle of technology lovers, our world would be a lot different (and barely imaginable for people under 25).
