Diamond Markups Exposed at Tiffany, Cartier – hidden cam
Brand name jewelry stores keep the information about their diamonds a closely held secret. They do this to keep people from finding out the truth: There is nothing special about the diamonds they are selling, and their markups are exorbitant.
We went to Tiffany and Co., Cartier, Harry Winston, and Van Cleef with a hidden camera to find out which one of these stores are the biggest rip-off.

Googly-eyed Stubby Squid | Nautilus Live
The team spotted this Stubby Squid off the coast of California at a depth of 900 meters (2,950 feet). The stubby squid (Rossia pacifica) looks like a cross between an octopus and squid, but is more closely related to cuttlefish. This species spends life on the seafloor, activating a sticky mucus jacket and burrowing into the sediment to camouflage, leaving their eyes poking out to spot prey like shrimp and small fish. Rossia pacifica is found in the Northern Pacific from Japan to Southern California, most commonly seen up to 300m deep, but specimens have been collected at 1000m depth.

New York in 1993 in HD - DTheater DVHS Demo Tape
In 2002 D-Theater launched in the US - the dealers needed a demo tape of HD footage. JVC reused some HD video that had been shot as a demo for the Japanese HD market back in 1993.
This footage would have most likely been originally used for a HiVision MUSE Laserdisc demo.
You can tell the year is 1993 by the adverts in Times Square - the Radio 501 CD that's advertised on a billboard came out in 1993 and Paper Moon is playing at the Marquis Theater.
For those wondering what HD video camera tech existed in 1993 - there are a few options, but it's likely that this footage was shot with a HDVS camera- perhaps a Sony SONY HDC-500 attached to a HDV-10 portable recorder which recorded on UniHi 3/4" tape.
