Remember when you used to take the film out of your camera, head to the nearest drugstore and drop it off, do a little shopping or grab a coffee, and then return one hour later to pick up your printed photographs?

POC, maker of protective headgear for snowboarders, cyclists and other smart people who eschew personal motor transport, has added headphones to one of its helmets. This is both good and bad.
