    GE Buying ‘Tens of Thousands’ of EVs

    So they can artificially inflate there domination by adding the number of cars they bought into the tally of how many cars they sold. This almost seems like a Sarah Palin style idea. Sweet.

    Top Networks Absent From Google TV Announcement

    It really doesn't matter since you can still access all there content within the Google TV. It's not like a Roku where you need the content provided a certain way. All Google TV needs to do is do a search. Find it on any of the video sites and when found open up the video in the Google TV...

    Sony Says Expect Game Discs for at Least Ten Years

    Always has been the storage of the future and always will be. Everytime I hear "oh just another couple of years". That has been since 2000. It's a replacement for tape drives not consumer media.

    Realistic Human Motion from Monocular Video Sequences

    Kinect does this in a very rough and raw form. It's taking movements and using them to cause action in a game. It's just not really trying to motion track you like this. It more or less takes basic arm and leg motions and maps them to key presses like punching your right arm will equal a press...

    Yeah when have we been able to put 1 min of video into 1mb of space? Is it really video at that port or just pixels moving?

    Man Stung by $8,000 iPhone Bill

    He was smart enough to call Virgin to let them know he was going out of country but wasn't smart enough to ask about international rates? I admit the amount being asked for is still retarded for what he used but what did he expect? Did he expect everything would be normal? Also I don't know what...

    New Bill Would Give U.S. President Power to Kill Some, or All of the Internet

    Again since people just love to read headlines and not actually read around. The President has had the power to kill any form of communication in the country since the 1930's. This bill does not give the President any power. It actually limits it and better defines these actions. Remember this...

    Which Is The Stupider Line To Be In?

    Any person standing/sitting in a line to see/buy something that they will watch 1000 times or can buy in a couple days with 0 line is equally f^cktarded. If I wait in line it better be for a one time or limited thing.

    New Bill Would Give U.S. President Power to Kill Some, or All of the Internet

    Uh he already has the power to kill the internet. He's had it since it was created. By law the president has the power to kill all communications in case of emergency this was enacted in the early 1900's. This bill is not about giving him the power to do it but to better define everything and...

    James Rolfe speaks about PS3 and Blu-Ray

    First, he said his first ps3 overheated in 5 min what a moron. You had a bad unit, sorry for the bad luck but it happens a lot less then the xbox 360. It didn't overheat though cause even a bare cpu from intel can handle 5 min without burning up. Second find a better flash player. I couldn't...

    All US Android Phones Will Get 2.1 Release

    A lot of people who own a Behold 2 really don't trust this. One main reason is since the Behold 2 isn't a big seller why would Samsung spend the money to convert all the extra code they put ontop of the 1.5 OS and beta test it on a phone that didn't make them that much if any money. They are not...

    ** A Picture I Took - 2010 **

    Nice shot. That is probably the coolest thing about camera phones is how it allows you to take very normal shots like that or be very experimental and still get great results on either front. Nothing more fun then to see what your cell phone camera can produce. They even have coffee books...

    iPhone Helps Buried Man Survive Quake

    Oh and if you just turn on airplane mode it's pretty much a Ipod Touch which does not get 60 hours of use. Either he just used it for the informational aid or he had a power cord under there.

    iPhone Helps Buried Man Survive Quake

    If he had any other phone with internet this would be a non story. It's not like this app has all the secrets that no one knows about.

    A little input on a Canon lens. This or that?

    Tamron also seems to be coming out with a 17-55IS version. It's "released" but not something easy to find. It's cheaper then the Canon supposidly but it's hard to tell when it's hard to find.

    Date/ Time Stamp - LF Free Software

    Does the time and date have to be put on the picture? If you just need it for some sort of verification all images have a part of the file dedicated to exif data which gives every little bit of information about the picture taken from iso to date and time. As long as the camera is setup for the...

    Next camera opinions?

    Wouldn't Extension tubes be cheaper and give about the same quality of a macro lens? Also gives you versitility since you now have multiple macro lens instead of just one with different focal lengths.

    Help with the "nifty fifty" Canon 50mm f/1.8 II

    Also to say anything above 3.5 isn't sharp is plain wrong. As long as you know your going to get some Bokeh and know how to use it to your advantage you are in pretty good shape. Here is an image I took at f2.2 and you can see all the strands in the plants and the hairs in the squirrel...

    I never said it would get rid of it completly just enable you to have a better chance of hand holding when your at that border line of tripod and hand holding. Your right on second look I do agree it mostly seems like camera shakes and dof errors which is something you natuarly have to get...

    Help with the "nifty fifty" Canon 50mm f/1.8 II

    These statements counterdict themselves. IS is to allow for more of a chance to hand hold when the shutter speed is slow and get rid of the tripod. The problem he is getting is motion blur from the subject not the shaking of the camera. Everything you told him though would make it must harder...

    Help with the "nifty fifty" Canon 50mm f/1.8 II

    I am guessing you shot the first at f1.8. You can tell cause the middle of the apple looks slightly out of focus. This is because the depth of field is razor thin at 1.8 when you deal with something close up and you focused on the side of the apple not the middle. This is why unless you really...

    Help with the "nifty fifty" Canon 50mm f/1.8 II

    Actually your wrong about f1.8 allowing good images. In fact they are typically very soft with this lens at that aperture. You really need to push it around 2.2-2.8 to get a nice sharp low light shot. That is why you should really bump the ISO up. Try keeping it on 1600 and see what the images...

    Help with the "nifty fifty" Canon 50mm f/1.8 II

    Welcome to the nifty fifty club. The Af does hunt a lot in low light. Even with high contrast area's it's impossible to get it to focus let alone accurately. If it wont lock with AF you are just going to have to jump to Manual focus and try to find it there (with a big lcd it's easier, on a...

    Why is Nikon hidding their SLR camera warranty info?

    Did you use a gradinet filter on the mountain water fall pix? Really cool how it's perfectly exposed from foreground to background and razor sharp (guessing that's due to slow F stop)

    Haven't been outside with the camera for two weeks. This is definitely one of my top 5 pix i have taken. I should probably crop the horizontal lines a little bit to make it seem wider and get rid of that fence plank near the bottom.

    Lost canon charger

    I believe if you set your camera to PC Connection in the menu (it's usually set to Print/PTP and the menu is the last one menu tab) and plug it into your laptop it should charge it. Might want to look it up but I swear the indicator stated I had half battery and I decided to hook it up to my...
