Maybe Sony is learning from its past mistakes in keeping formats too proprietary, and wants this one to succeed. Will this eventually allow other manufacturers to build cameras with the e-mount standard?

While you're building character, I'm gonna go build actual stuff with power tools.

If I had that kind of money to buy hand tools (I spent 20 bucks on my last wood saw) I would simply pay someone to do whatever it was I needed and forget about the tools completely.

@Pripyat: The space shuttle was quite possibly the most complex machine ever built by humans.

@chefgon: Room service? That barely covers the drinks bill.

@im.thatoneguy3: The guy who invented the malaria vaccine also murdered hookers?

@Oedipus: Do they have a Todd-AO digital format? I always thought it was some distant film-cousin to IMAX.

@DeeDawg: France has an army?

@AmonSemper: Yea that was the one that made me go WTF

@CaptMorgan74: It said 1796-2010...does this mean it no longer exists?

@Jeff Goodman: After all the compositing and combining that your brain does, you basically do.

@OMG! British Dinosaur!: CDMA and WiMax. Quite an important feature of Sprint's new networks.

@Freelancer λ 1-1: That would be what you're paying for, yes. It's not just a "because we can" tax, surprisingly.

@Freelancer λ 1-1: Sprint has an actual, separate 4G data network, with separate antennas, on a different frequency from 3G.

@Dr. Evil Genius: Cold as Winter: Let it not be forgotten that Sprint was the only telecommunications company that even remotely took the side of the consumer in the Net Neutrality debate, and continues to be basically the only one that shows this in its service and contracts.

@Not A Trionym: Now that it's CDMA, couldn't you technically buy one, jailbreak/unlock it, and then just put it on Sprint? I did this (albeit the other way around) with a Sprint Treo 650 to Verizon once.
