For the most part, its a matter of what other colors are in the scene. If there are naturally a lot of blue hues in the shot, then you use green, or you risk keying out stuff that you actually want in the picture. (Like if you've ever seen a weather report where the weatherman's tie has part of the weather map…

I mean, not to point out the obvious here.... but it doesn't even do a good job approximating human speech. I'm not really sure what progress has been made since it's unveiling last year. It's more akin to a bagpipe than human speech.

I believe if you watch the original nyancat video on youtube, it DOES have it as the progress bar.

As has been mentioned in every discussion of rare earth metals, and will be again...

Holy crap, that looks like a girl I knew in high school - Sam, you have a source link better than the Reddit front page? Pretty please!

Pentax is expected to announce an APS-C sensor k-mount mirrorless system this fall.

The organizations to prevent massive-scale selling of equities are only a very, very recent creation, less than a year old.

The stolen Bitcoins are just like stealing cash - there is very little a central authority can do to prevent it. Where the system breaks down is the size of…

This solution is worse than the problem. Mt. Gox getting to undo trades and re-peg the currency to a fixed amount undermines the entire concept of a decentralized market-rate currency.
