Technically, if two companies share a monopoly, it's a duopoly. Arbitrary plurals are oligopolies. Peterhttp://xinaesthetic.net/images/frozenwatersig.jpg

That is true, but still... my profile is real, and it has location set, I'm sure that a large number of profiles have a real USA location set. I think they'd have reduced the noise and still a got...

Tried installing Acorn: "You have Mac OS X 10.7.5. The application requires Mac OS X 10.8 or later."

Apple rant follows: I should probably not post it and you should probably not read it...

What...

I just started using Pixelmator to make a little graphical help screen for a simple iPad app. I find that it is not the tool for the job, suspect Acorn would be better. For instance, putting an...

If only they were as reliable to HMRC.

I haven't read the whole thread so no doubt this has already been said. I'd have thought they could avoid all this noise in the feedback if they simple only extended this phase of beta to people...

I wasn't aware of Acorn. It does look fairly decent. I just got hold of a copy of Pixelmator in the sale for my occasional mac-based image-editing needs, but maybe that would've been a better choice.

Well, a device like the Nexus 4 apparently only requires removing a couple of screws to get at the battery. If changing the battery is just a one-off when the old one dies, then that level of...

It seems to me that a substantial part of the novelty is lost; the most novel Lytro samples are things like splashes of water or spontaneous group shots... this will not be able to do anything...

This comment needs more recognition. On the basis of that thread, it's incredible to believe Sony messed up the device with such OTT noise reduction. I imagine future software updates will improve...

A few years ago, many people would say 'Digital cameras are mainly used by persons not in the least interested in any kind of serious "photography". Any snap will be good enough.' and yet somehow...

They're probably sensitive to some misplaced snobbery from self-important users who think such a feature is 'too consumer-y' for pros like them. I've definitely read such comments on their forums....

No GPU acceleration?

So really it's a subset of the fragmentation problem.

People do hack their Canon cameras, perhaps potentially leading to damage; I don't know... if they exposed a safe public API (safe in the sense that it would prevent things that would lead to...

Especially since this dark age of unprogrammable cameras is showing signs of passing. We'll not always be at the whims of camera makers to determine how we can use the hardware...

A friend from Bangladesh visiting the UK for the first time a few years ago managed to accidentally leave a large amount of cash (~£2000?) in a bag in a graveyard in Winchester. Fortunately someone...
