That's because Ansel shot landscapes. Shallow DOF is most useful in portraits.

I actually think this will cause some problems as people grow reliant on them and they don't always work well. I've got backup cams on both of my vehicles (2006 Honda Ridgeline & 2011 GMC Acadia) and they each have issues. It can take up to around 7 seconds for them to actually come on so I can see people not being

"He hasn't been seen for months and no one knows how to get a hold of him." He's probably dead somewhere in that mess. Bring in the bulldozers.

I don't think they will get rid of the home button. Apples devices are supposed to be so simple to use, anyone can use them. Without the home button, a new user will not know what gesture to perform to switch apps etc. One button makes it obvious.

I have AirDisplay and I'm not that happy with it and my Win7 PC. First, it disables the Aero theme and second, it's not very stable and usually disconnects after 10 min or so and orphans any app that was on the iPad. The mount looks nice, but not $80 nice.

The first time I heard about a Glock, I was told it was the first gun where you could take a bunch of them apart, mix up the parts, and put one back together and it would fire perfectly (supposedly because all the parts were machined exactly alike). Is there any truth to that? I would assume that all guns could do

So, I know the customer is always right and everything but how do businesses protect against this kind of thing? It's simply the customers word that it was clay when they opened it. Perhaps they should make them open it before leaving the store. I guess that's why the rest of us are paying so much for stuff to

So, can I have it in my next device at the current thickness so it won't break if it's dropped? I don't want my phone any thinner, I want it stronger.

Seems like it could be implemented in a way that it lands first and then just frys the electronics/sensitive parts etc. It doesn't have to be a mini nuke. I've heard it has a fly home feature so that means they've thought about the case where it breaks it's tether but what if it runs out of fuel or is jammed etc?

Serious question here - Can anyone tell me why there isn't some sort of self destruct mechanism built in that triggers when it's lost communication for x amount of time?

I'm as conservative as they come but crap like this just ticks me off. You don't spend 57 million on a 8 segways to shoot at when the country is 15 trillion in debt and the Armed forces have found a way to become pretty damned deadly in the past without this.

Doh! I love how he says the camera sensor size affect depth of field, then goes on to demonstrate that it doesn't, and shows that the difference in depth of field is a result of changing the 100mm lens to a 160mm lens. DOF is determined by focal length, aperture, and distance to subject.

As a senior engineer myself, I would have expected you to have learned long ago that you spend your time fixing bugs that matter. Not crap like this. It appears that Apple agrees with me which is why this "bug" if you can even call it that, still exists. I'd love to hear how you justify the resources to fix

As a software engineer who designs the UI for our product, if a QA guy came to me with this bug, I'd kick him in the nuts.

Um, when a programmable thermostat is available for less that $50, how many years will it take to even break even with this thing let along start to save any money.

I've been considering an iPad or Netbook for my Mom. At first glance, this was an easy win for the iPad until she said she wants to be able to print stuff like coupons etc. Now, things get complicated. It appears printing sucks on all tablets. I've got an iPad2 and I have to run a special print server and I only

Cool idea. I probably won't be getting any, however, as I rarely use filters any more. I do most of that stuff in post. Also, I fight vignetting enough with the filters I have. This would just make the problem worse (on wide angle lens at lest). Still, I like it and hope they make some bucks off them.

Agreed. While I think terrorist are stupid, why does everyone think they are still going after planes? If your determined to cause panic, there are plenty of other things that can be done with little or no security to prevent it. I'd be willing to bet there will NEVER be another hijacked plane again because every

I'm thinking there's an LG Chocolate joke here somewhere.

Am I the only one that watched that vid and thought "that's a lot of fricken cones"?
