The captcha where you have to prove you're human by picking the hottest girl among an array of girl pictures was the absolute best so far, to me. It's not really possible to teach a computer what is cute and what is not...

Right, neither the AF module nor the metering sensor would be able to work. AF is in the bottom of the mirror box (gets fed by a secondary mirror behind the main one and they both flip up to make way for the image sensor) and metering is in the pentaprism above, and also gets light thanks to the main mirror. Which

But nowhere near as impressive since the A77 has no moving mirror. Reading the sensor 12 times per second is one thing, moving a full-sized mirror 14 times per second is a feat...

@hawkeye18 : 14fps for 60 seconds is 840fpm.

too bad the last Logitech BT mouse I bought had a noticeable delay. I compared it to a no-name RF mouse, and it was obvious. Ditched it for a Logitech RF mouse and the lag was gone. Inacceptable.

White is the color of diapers. Spot on, Giz.

It's only useful when oil reaches the surface. We all know most of the oil remains underwater, and BP even used chemicals to make surfacing oil actually break down in small bubbles and drown in the depths of the sea. The best way to kill oil spills is to prevent them, and to prevent them you need more strict laws and

Even the entry models trump it with 60fps recording ! 3 years now, the update is long overdue... I should probably sell mine.

The reason why you bought a 5D even though the markII was out, is that it was discounted. If the markII files were too space hungry for you, just shoot in sRAW1 (11 megapixels) like I do. You'd be a fool to prefer the 5D to the markII. The low light performance is just so much better : 5D is average and has banding at

"The biggest pixels ever in a Canon DSLR" ? the original EOS 1D had a measly 4 megapixels on an APS-H (1.3x crop) sensor. Those were the biggest pixels ever.

Oh the irony. Saudi Arabia bans women from driving cars, because (no joke) they would cause too many accidents. These men are morons, and this is just the confirmation.

Bright the stupid phone indoors : crank the ISO up, dial in a Kelvin WB to match the lighting, and try to isolate the subject from the background with a shallow depth of field... End of story.

The video guy says it's shot on an iPhone. Not a 4S, apparently. ShHHhaaaAaKkkKyyy video !

Remove your pinkie off the effing microphone hole, stoopid !

iOS5 runs fine on 512MB simply because it can also run on the 3GS which only has 256MB ram. Easy.

English Siri is truly fascinating. This is the closest thing to a real conversation. Looks like they've had a ball preparing those mighty humorous answers to nutty questions.

Oh the prices you get overseas... here in France, used iPhones 4 are going for quite a bit more and it's in euros ;-( 16GB can be had for 300 euros, and 32GB for 350+...

I grew sick of that light blue theme on iOS4, and I hoped iOS5 would introduce an all-grey look. The Calendar was fine, even if blue. This leather redesign is a nonsense. Inconsistent AND ugly !
