the 12x optical zoom, combined with the $200 price, was the key selling point for both the lumix zs1 that i picked up last year, and the zs7 that i replaced it with this year. my goal had been to upgrade to a 4/3 this year while keeping the point-and-shoot as a backup, but the pacific ocean killed the zs1 before i was…

must be quite a market for bicycle wheels out there.

my daughter and i have been spending the summer trying to see how many different state license plates we can get pictures of (live in los angeles). going by how many different florida plates we've gotten compared to every other state, there do seem to be a fair amount of residents interested in getting as far from…

well then, good thing they left you behind to educate us all.

coincidentally, glendale also has a pretty damn high rate of insurance fraud.

not quite sure what the big deal is. i've got a whole handful of usb drives that are thicker than pennies.

his foreground/background work looks really slick. the buildings make some of the left-to-right compositions harder to get on board with, though. particularly with the flatiron example, the building serves as a dividing line through the image that takes over the transition. less 'day to night' than 'day then night'.…

spoken like a true douche, or at least a juvenile imbecile with, like, an overinflated ego. in your understanding of the "obvious", you've managed to overlook that fact that i couldn't care less what kind of people you can stand.

doesn't matter whether it's a demo model or anything else, being douchebags on residential streets instead of a closed course was unsafe and stupid. glendale bmw is staffed by more than one moron, unless all the tailgating and red-light running i've seen from their branded cars has all coincidentally been done by the…

compliance!

woo- constitution class ftw! hells yes, and get off my lawn.

there's even a sneaky hidden plug in there too- the opening link that for desktop customization that should be pointing to [lifehacker.com] (i think) is instead pointing to [lifehacker.com]

yeah...

it can play a limited set of codecs from an external source through a usb port (or card with v2, i guess), but the support in v1 at least isn't all that great. my boatload of xvid video that i stream over from computer to ps3 was completely out of the tv's reach when the ps3 died. they'll play, but it depends on your…

an f35 is a fighter plane right?

well, sure. if i were to look exclusively at your excerpt, certainly. if i were to exclude all words that don't begin with an 'a', i could argue that the author uses the word 'and' far too much. but that would only be a function of having disregarded the whole of the article.

false how? they do point out that it could have been used for new projects like the f35. i don't read partiality, i read the bemoaning of scale.

i love how cordial it all is, though. no legal threats or promises of reprisal, just "please stop that." it's a weird sense of scale, addressing an amorphous and amoral mass as if it were a kid out back whose softball just broke your window.

yes, but if you cranked down the volume on the last vid you watched, new vids (depending on the source) will sometimes default to that level. both my os and knobs were cranked up, but i still couldn't hear a thing until i could plant a cursor firmly on the volume slider.

adjust the zoom on the page. zooming in on mine made the image scroll below bigger and blocked off even more, but zooming out reduced the proportions of the video frame and revealed the volume control for use.
