DaVinici's Code

According to Dan Brown, Leonardo DaVinci hid a lot of secret information in his art works. Believe it not, so do you! And you don't need to traipse all over the world to discover it. If your camera saves it's images as JPG files, simply browse to Camera Summary, upload a picture taken by a camera, and this site will ferret out the details of the picture and camera hidden in the JPG format. According to the site, it "provides information like: camera make / model, detailed information about how the picture was taken and even the thumbnail that was embedded in the file." On a sample file I used from our summer vacation, the site provided over 50 pieces of information about the picture. Some of it is useful even for the novice photo-bug, but some of the details are pretty technical. Some of the details could be used for CSI-esque investigation as well...
