| Killer of Adrienne Shelly Pleads Guilty
Diego Pillco, an illegal immigrant from Ecuador who was arrested days after Shelly's body was discovered in her Greenwich Village apartment, admitted in a New York courtroom on Thursday that he killed Shelly while trying to rob her. He then hanged her in an attempt make her death appear like a suicide, the Associated Press reports. Pillco said Shelly caught him stealing money from her purse and threatened to call police. He is to be sentenced on March 6, and will receive 25 years in prison, says AP. Shelly, 40, was born Adrienne Levine in Queens, N.Y., and raised on Long Island. At the time of her death, she and her husband, Andy Ostroy, had a 3-year-old daughter, Sophie. Shelly had worked steadily acting in film, theater and television, but later turned to writing and directing and made her feature-film directorial debut with 1997's Sudden Manhattan.
Sony’s Cyber-Shot Dsc-T300 Camera Combines Function With Style
Sony is taking the wraps off a new 10.1-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-T300 digital camera, featuring a stylish, ultra-compact design and intelligent functionality to help reduce the risk of taking a bad photo. The new model incorporates Sonys new intelligent scene recognition (iSCN), a technology that allows the camera to analyze shooting conditions and automatically select the optimal settings for the best photo results. In iSCN mode, the camera can automatically detect up to five scenes, and choose the best setting for the situation. In advanced iSCN mode, the camera will shoot using the users settings and then will automatically step in and take a second shot with optimized settings. If the camera determines that the users settings are best, then a second photo is not taken.
