They already did though - "retina display" was one of the big selling points of the iPhone 4, and it's still being pumped for the iPhone 4s. They defined it as indiscernable from print to the naked eye, and the generally accepted ppi for that is 300. Dipping below 300ppi would probably be too large of a faux pas to…

Thanks - should have read down the thread before I replied. You are correct!

Same old misconception - please research; this is NOT the case. Pixel density is how close pixels are to each other. Resolution is the absolute number of pixels. So a 3.5 inch screen with a resolution of 960x640 like the iPhone 5 and a larger 4 inch screen with the same resolution of 960x640 would have completely…

Primary problem with this is that if you offer up all your solutions freely, it removes the higher-up's incentive for advancement. They'll just assume you're happy to provide your solutions at your current pay and position. I'm not saying don't be proactive, but don't necessarily show your entire hand either, or you…

Makes a lot of sense - that's the primary reason I didn't think we'd see a 4-incher. That said, they could still make one that respected the resolutions of other screens by redefining "retina" display. THAT'S the sticking point here - if they made a 4 inch screen with a mid to high 250s ppi, it would still be…

"Insert pretty much any recent movie here". Almost all use CGI these day. But if you want to define "cartoon" much more specifically, then there's still the Scooby Doo movies, the Spongebob movie, the Garfield movies, Happy Feet, Arthur & the Invisibles, the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies, the Smurfs...the list is…

Evil. Just plain diabolical. ;)

Umm - how does it contradict my argument?

Ooooo. That was a big oversight on Google's part. Would have been BRILLIANT from a marketing standpoint. Then again, I hear that you must have an engineering degree to even be a janitor at Google, so they probably missed that. Too busy thinking about the technological feasibility of actually making it go to eleven.

Looks like it's time for me to change over to my Google Voice number. Mispronounce my name and you get blocked. Problem solved. (not really - I'm vehemently opposed to this and am calling my representative NOW. That said, if it passes I'm switching over to GV.)

My point is that it is a relatively easy-to-understand principle, and one professionals would be very familiar with while iPhone Instagrammers would just give you a blank stare and snap a hip grungy photo of your shoelaces in macro.

Agreed. I'm not contesting the capabilities of modern equipment - they are easier to use than ever. That said, saturating the market with wannabe professionals with less-capable equipment and very limited technical knowledge harms the market. It lowers the perceived value of true professionals with money in equipment…

The primary problem with what you're saying is that there is an additional consideration in sous vide: the meat must cook slowly, and must also reach and then maintain its target temp for enough time as to allow bacteria to be killed. Higher temps do this quicker, but since sous vide cooks at lower temps, you MUST…

Troll article, custom made to set off rants among those who understand that ISO is just as important as megapixels, as well as defensive tirades from those who think Camera+, Hipstamatic and the iPhone 4s have enabled them to enter the field legitimately...MUST RESIST.....

I know several guys that would LOVE this. One of the major struggles they have mentioned in trying to quit snuff is that they "need something in their lip". While admittedly an addictive stimulant in it's own right, it's obviously much less harmful than the alternative. They could use it to help them quit the BAD…

CURRENTLY. Once Siri has had its time in the sun and Apple has something shinier to show us, they'll just release an OS update for the 4 with this included. That, or in 2 years this will be a non-issue because everyone will have replaced their phones anyway...

EXACTLY my thought. In other news, the Mythbusters are AMAZING...

"Lastly, everyone seems right until you hear the other side of the story."

Kindof like if I wasn't on this comment thread, I wouldn't have gotten trolled by your post. Got it.

Ummmm - there's a cop pointing a gun at him (watch for the light) followed by a bang, and a smoke trail from the (probable beanbag) projectile leading straight to the camera. Editing? Perhaps. But if you want video evidence, it's right in front of you.
