The barcode thing is actually pretty cool. I already use QR codes in my product photography workflow...each one is embedded with the particular specs of the product I'm shooting, as they are all variations on a baseline product.

@Swiss: Yeah, it's kind of interesting that most of us have the default reaction of "that won't be allowed".

@avri210984: Wow, I did not know that. Thanks!

@cybershrike: Mostly because as cheap as "cheap" can get, it'll still never be cheaper than free.

@lostarchitect: Agreed! Slidescreen Pro + PowerStrip (accessed by double-tapping Home) is more useful to me than just a bunch of apps and widgets.

@Ikthog22: No, this one was just particularly egregious.

Wait a second - so you asked Google for details on the story AFTER you published the story?

@MxPxRobbie: I disagree.

Well, crap. Wave has become an integral part of my business, and it will be painful to lose it.

@Caturday Yet?: "subtle" is not a word that springs to mind in regards to Japanese tv. I can think of several OTHER words that do, but "subtle" ain't one of 'em.

@SteveW: Having tried them both, I ditched Quickdesk and kept Power Strip.

@TheGuinnessTooth: Really? Just about everyone involved in the creation of the state of Israel either lost a family member in the Holocaust, or knew someone who had.

@cletar:

This just in: Peter North sells his unit.

@barrywoods: Ha! The QR Code Rick Roll Equivalent! NICE.

@Dys: Heart click for Too Much Coffee Man!

@Zach Morin: I respect what you're saying about the lenses thing, but I also think that every photographer is different.

@Mike Zuniga is a Photographer Apparently: Sounds good re: the second body.

@QADude: Seconded on step two. The closer you get to being able to shoot on full manual mode, the better you'll be as a photographer.

@Mike Zuniga is a Photographer Apparently: You're welcome.
