I will pay an extra $100 per flight for an airline with no children under the age of 5 allowed on it.

No mirrorless system, slower glass, and randomly cramming GPS into things. No one will accuse Canon of chasing popular trends this year.

I don't mean this to sound mean, or rude, or disrespectful, or any of the many ways it will be construed. Just the perspective of someone that works on that mean, old 'business' side of music -

Prices are $599 for the black and $649 for the white.

You can't really calculate it - have to get one in your hands or have Canon give you the numbers. If it's still the same aperture range at 22.5m, then yes, its obviously an improvement over the s95 - but its rapid aperture dropoff was one of the original faults people had with the s95 in the first place. The Olympus…

Camera's are just as bad (if not worse) than cellphones and Macs in that every year you are convinced your very good and perfectly functional machine is suddenly an outdated piece of crap.

I know its got a longer zoom range than the 95, but the fact that the lens drops all the way down to a paltry f5.9 at tele is making me put my credit card back in my wallet.

Sweet.... literally across the street from me. I support more events there.

It's unfortunately crazy toxic to plants and animals. So unfortunately if someone were reapplying it every four days in a war zone, the land would probably not be livable for decades afterward.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around why anyone is driving a salt-spreading truck in August.

That's patently false. The basis of most, if not all, Supreme Court rulings on the matter is the ruling that students do NOT "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate," but those rights must be applied in light of the environment. Essentially, they are entitled to all…

The argument that private companies can exercise a level of control on speech becomes a whole lot murkier when said private company is basically a glorified ward of the state.

Will it intermittently decide to just stop connecting to the data network at all unless you reboot the whole thing? If not, I might want to pick one up so my 4G Verizon phone can connect to the internet.

So anytime a police officer talks to you on duty, your civil rights are being impinged upon?

I know... this actually seems like a situation of the cops getting it right for once regarding photography rights. Which I suppose, in its own sense, is also newsworthy.

No... nobody was detained. This article links to a LBP article about the police photography policy which in turn links to the original account of Wolff's "detainment."

From the Long Beach Post article on the 'detention':

Let's take a tiny step back here... the police officers are approaching photographers and asking them what they are doing there. That is not stopping them from taking photos, nor (as the original article inaccurately claims) detaining someone.
