Ring lights. It's a light setup that surrounds the camera lens. This gives sculptural lighting, which helps all definition pop. More importantly, because it's cameras, and lighting, it has a hellova lot more relevance to this blog then some tanning gel/bodypainting kit.

You're right, they're not hipsters. They're spineless impressionable douches. I know people that fit that mold before the hipster scene arrived... They fell right in.

@Hatem Sabry: Sugar water actually. [en.wikipedia.org]

@bobbobato - giz's other gay dude: Just as it's inappropriate for people to compare the USA to Sweden or Switzerland, so to I believe it's inappropriate to compare us to the most populous country on the planet. Different types and scales of issues.

Where's my live vote? Tapatio vs Tabasco vs Cock Sauce!

@Bizdady: Haha! I had a bottle of Tapatio in my pocket at a Marine recruiting booth. They had a pull up challenge, so I unloaded my pockets on the ground before I got up on the bar. Instant cred when I pulled out the Tapatio.

@MasterYong: Mmm... Truth, but more importantly, the reason why most cultures that have spicy cuisine, are equatorial, is because hot peppers don't grow very well outside the equatorial region. It takes a lot of sunlight to create a hot pepper, so it would be unusual to find one in Norway.

@hello36: JMcCain is the Mayor of the Hanoi Hilton.

@uncle_jojo: Exactly what I was thinking.

wait wait wait... That apology was a tweet? I thought tweets were 140 characters long? So confused.

@tacomstng: Not a rocket scientist. But generally speaking, the faster you need to accelerate, the less efficient it's going to be.

some of those orbits are... Wack. They come in for a swoop around the sun, they return to the asteroid belt, and then they STAY IN ONE SPOT. Then a few years go by, they swoop around the sun, and then stay in one spot again. Mind blown.

@Monty: Oh I'm not saying Blackberry can't be saved. I DID say it has a couple product cycles in it still, it's not at death's doorstep yet, but you can see that it hits dirt within 5 years on its current trajectory.

@SJRNWT: You sound like people that thought predicting the death of Palm was nonsensical. While Blackberry has a couple product cycles in it still, it's definitely heading down obsolete lane.

meh, wake me up when they point those things at each other.

@keva_tron: Why yes, actually, it's a life movie, digitally animated, in 3D. And I need a LOT more power before this is gonna happen in realtime bud. Some of us work on these puppies, and more is never enough.

@Don Clark: You're wrong. It's his wife's top, not his, so the test is failed from the start.

@addyct: Impressive

My Dad taught me the wonders of the Amiga 2000 and took me to an Amiga Users Group conference thingy where I was wowed by all things tech. (and incredibly expensive RAM prices)

@bobbobato: Your imagination is severely limited IMO. Star Trek Holodeck seems like I might need a Yottabyte.
