And I thought I was nuts. The sound doesn't happen during the commercials (why am I not surprised). I've also noticed this during live broadcasts of Dancing With The Stars (hey, man, some of the women are wicked hot). Both on ABC. Coincidence?

Continuous autofocus while shooting video. That's all I want. Oh, and a Vincent Laforet button.

Here's a thought experiment for the Fox News haters out there. The philosopher Lichtenstein was speaking with a pupil who said "Can you believe that people once believed that the sun revolved around the Earth?" To which he responded "Yeah, but I wonder what it would have looked like if the sun HAD been revolving…

Jeez. I can make these for $4 or less.
