Josh152: Wow so basically flickr went and copied the look and feel of 500PX.

The large image size in my Photostream takes longer to download, and I can't see the number of views or comments for each photo at a glance. I like the old format better. I wish I had the option of going back.

Mssimo: If your shopping for monitors, make sure you buy a IPS panel. The other common type that is very bad for color and view angle is called TN.

Dell Ultrasharp monitors use LG panels; these are the same panels used in apple's best monitors. They are also used by HP pro line monitors.

I have two U3011's. (decoded name: Ultrasharp 30" 2011) They are huge. The 27" has more pixel density but its 16:9 (Less Height than 16:10; 2560x1600 vs 2560x1440)

@dbateman: thanks for the info.

So which is better for photography, ISP or LG panels?

In reply to:

BBrooks: If this is a picture in a P-51, what version is it and does it have a name on the nose? If not, what is the plane?

This is a P-51C Mustang owned by the Collings Foundation. It's called Betty Jane.
It's the world's only dual-control Mustang. Here's a link to read more...

I used Peter in Milton's link and it works great (thanks Peter).
When the rapidshare site opens, just click on the green download button.
And the book is GREAT!
