Why is it possible to focus on something near and focus on something far away but not have any manual control over this? I'm not expecting DSLR or anything that the phone can't do. Just control or trick the phone into thinking it's focusing on something near or far and be able to change this with an incremental…

I totally agree with you. Sadly, religion bashing is way too common on the Gawker sites.

Right on brutha!

i think it would be disgusting if a school hides the fact that this beautiful universe was created. took me a while to dispel this idea that my teachers instilled in me.

the big bang may have created the earth but what created the big bang? more importantly, what sustains the ongoing existence of creation? what created time? emotion? love? space? what even allowed the possibility of the existence of time/space/physics/mathematics, let alone what merely created it.

Well backwards implies you're both looking in the same direction.

It's just sad that trailers these days have to be so cheesey and dumbed down because the publishers/developers feel it will sell more. Even though a lot of the best selling games of all time have had very little advertising. Maybe I'm asking for too much, but I think that a slick, classy ad would be better received.

I would have thought that *they* would ask Twitter to remove stuff before they got directly involved. But yeah, I'm sure there is a whole list of stuff that Twitter allows or censors, it's just interesting where and when they get involved when the tweets go against the respective nations' law, which I'm sure happens…

I don't remember Hitman 1 having a cheesy semi-tutorial trailer.

You sir are giving people with down syndrome a bad name!

I wasn't aware that Twitter was located in Germany. I guess that gives them a reason to treat Germany as a special case.

It's funny. Quite a lot of people replied to that comment. It's amusing how they replied. I could do a study on this. Maybe people like pointing out that they are right. or more accurately people like to point out when other people are wrong. or maybe people just want to blow off some steam. Amusing nonetheless :)

Here are some democratic countries whose governments tried to censor Twitter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Twitter

What about other democratic countries whose governments are constantly displeased with anti-government dissenters commenting on Twitter? I'm quite certain Twitter didn't censor tweets to accept the respective nations' laws. I am personally for limited censorship but wouldn't like there to be any double standards.

I think it actually did break laws in those countries, that's why the government tried to shut down twitter/the internet.

so censorship thus lies in the will of the majority?
