I still haven't been able to find or figure out what the motivation of the Umbrella Corporation is. How do they profit from everyone being dead?

What I think is that we need to standardize all these different forms of communication in a way that will allow us to get in touch with someone without needing to know a million different types of contact information. Once we get everyone using a smartphone, we won't need actual phone calls anymore, we can just voice…

Sorry, I guess I just projected my own preferences onto you. I'm also in the middle of a copyright law class and it's making me jump on copyright issues a bit more (than I should).

Dammit. I hate being right about things like this, and I allowed my cautious optimism to get the better of me.

I make do, it's mostly a problem when people (ok, my wife) get(s) frustrated waiting for the camera to focus, or when I'm alone without any adequate place to focus. After years of effort, I'm pretty close to giving up on ever trying to focus manually.

Woah. I've never met or spoken with anyone else who ever had this, and people always look at me funny when I tell them that my eyes have slightly different "white-balance" when compared with one another.

True. My biggest problem in low light is that my T1i often can't focus at all :P

True. Either way, I'm excited to see this kind of tech become widely available.

The person to whom you replied didn't refer to that at all. He talked about copyrights and trademarks, and you replied that using photos of people is a privacy issue. Yes, using photos of people is a privacy issue, but the issue that Mephistocat brought up was a copyright issue. So I guess... read before you post?

Actually, this is a copyright issue, not a privacy issue: http://www.wipo.int/sme/en/documents/ip_photography.htm#1.2

I actually have trouble believing this video. My DSLR doesn't get such sharp night shots with IS lenses.

This seems to be to be somewhat akin to Apple using their hardware base to lock you in to their platform as much as possible, only Google is making a suggestion rather than delivering an edict. I see what someone might find troublesome about what they're doing, but it does say front and center that it's their own…

I got the impression that the point of the article was that text messaging rates are absurd in light of the amount of data contained within each SMS, not that there was any danger of accidentally incurring such an enormous expense by accident.

I find that scheduling specific break times helps for me, when I remember to do it :P

I'm torn between commenting on how annoying it would probably get to shoot video in that way more than occasionally and how much I'd like to have a 1DX to play with.

Dunno, I like Windows more than Mac OS. It's always been the hardware that has let me down, not usually the software. Even Vista never crashed on me.

Well to be fair, I got it for $700. Still, if I could go back in time (but only to change one incredibly unimportant event) I would tell myself to buy a used MacBook Pro and put Windows on it.

This laptop, a Lenovo Ideapad Y460P. Seemed great on paper, but I needed two keyboard replacements and one motherboard replacement in the first six months of owning it, and it's still slow as molasses on a cold winter day.

I've actually been very pleased with the new voice built into Android 4.1, particularly compared to the one my phone had on 4.0. The new voice is very cheerful and friendly, without getting creepily so.

I never thought of that, but sound would be incredible.
