Did the USPS appeal this to the supreme court at all? I suppose it's probably cheaper to pay the award than to pay the lawyers for an appeal. Also, it sounds to me their lawyers are pretty weak...

That's not his problem... it's the guy behind the other camera.

It may be stupid to you but it's very obviously not to Mr. Parekh. What do you have? From your response, I'd say you're just jealous.

@BJL: Actually you can easily process Kodachrome film... as B/W negative film using B/W chemicals. So, you don't have to keep it as souvenir.

This concept is not really all about practicality, is it?

Not just plants... biological discoveries and processes, in general. How can one patent our own DNA! And then there's math and the software patents.

Madness, this patent business has become. I...

You didn't study hard enough or you would have found that octopus (and squid) do have lenses in their eyes... it's not just a pinhole.

@raincoat: I doubt you'd say that if you really anything about sensors. Sigma's current Foveon sensor is pretty darn good. It's hard to top it if you're into portraiture and landscape...

Pronounce it however you want. If someone doesn't know what a GIF or a Jif is, that's their problem.

Mr. Wilhite looks a little too rigid to me. Perhaps he needs to pull that stick out...

The public always gets to decide... If the public agrees with the creator then fine. If not, then anything goes.

@Peiasdf: I don't care what Apple(tm) calls it. I call it wireless flash.

@JaFO: The Raspberry Pi and the camera module are not for those people. Tell me of anybody in their right mind, who isn't a programmer by nature (your words), who would buy this stuff?

People who...

So, because they use the phrase "social camera flash" it would make it patentable? Most camera systems today call this technology wireless flash.

There's nothing nightmarishly complex about the process he outlined in his article. Instead of bothering his geeky friends, he could have just done a Google search and probably gotten better...

WTF?! It's a "nightmarishly complex" camera module so I'll write about it and tell people it's a pain to set up and use. But I'll also tell the somewhat geeky people that I still had a satisfying...

@callaesthetics: "... there is no image degradation in Canon's built-in version. It was engineered to operate with it's teleconverter without compromise."

And you know this how?

I'm actually...

Don't feel too smart about your idea... unless you know how to design a lens, I'd say leave it to the lens engineers.

Because these EVFs still require lens elements for magnification. And maybe an EVF such as this one also includes a prism--I don't know this for sure but I thought I'd pull something out of my @ss.

Oh, they will fail. Let's just hope they can backtrack and correct this stupid misstep before they go the way of the Dodo. There are proprietary options out there besides Adobe. I hope Corel, Xara...

Too bad there isn't a dislike button on DPR. Your post is more boring and you must not really be a musician for saying the music is terrible. I bet your playing sucks so bad you might as well give...
