Intoxication affects individuals differently. Some people can hold their alcohol better than others. However, on the issue of legality, differentiating states of intoxication is not done by how a person feels. There is a legal standard to determine that and breaching that threshold is grounds for serious legal consequences.

Hasselblad’s strategy of sprucing up Sony cameras must be paying off — that would explain Photo Rumors‘ apparent leak of the Stellar, a Hasselblad take on the RX100. The already high-end compact cam will reportedly switch to a tan metallic body and offer several choices of exotic grip material, including carbon fiber and padouk wood. There’s no mention of functional upgrades over the Sony original, though. As with the Lunar, we’re more likely to see a price hike instead — Photo Rumors claims the Stellar should launch on July 26th for between $1,600 to $3,200, which would limit it to particularly well-heeled photographers.

The country’s top athletes stole the style spotlight this week at the ESPY Awards, but there were a few other sartorial standouts worth noting…

On Friday Vanessa Williams stopped by the “Today Show” to flaunt her age-defying figure and beauty. The 50-year-old actress wowed in a black-and-white shift dress and sky-high, strappy red sandals. One word: flawless.

Kelly Rowland channeled a Greek goddess while in Miami for Jaguar and Gilt City’s celebration of the all-new F-TYPE car. The off-the-shoulders, drapped design hugged the singer in just the right places. Two words: Hot damn.

Chris Bosh’s summer of celebration took an exotic detour last week from a family excursion to France and Italy.

The Miami Heat center, fresh off helping win a repeat championship, couldn’t pass up a chance to lend his talents to another formidable conquest: India. The nation of 1.2 billion is the next international frontier for the NBA, which has already established itself as a force in China and other foreign markets.

Bosh has been to China several times, as an Olympian and with the Heat, as well as on promotional tours. A renaissance man whose curiosity ranges far from the court, he was intrigued by the prospect of experiencing the other Asian giant.

Lumia users have no need for low-quality-GIF makers, thank you very much. Why? Because they can now use the new version of Cinemagraph to create animated images in full 1,080 x 720 glory. What’s more, HD cat mems made with the updated app — not to be confused with the similar Cinemagram — can be viewed as short high-res video clips instead of GIFs when accessed on computers. As a nice bonus, the developers also threw in a new color pop feature that lets you highlight one hue and render the rest of the image black and white. Sure, the style’s been overdone, but we’ll bet many WP8 users are thankful the app’s expanding its filter offerings in the absence of Instagram.
