I think we're breeding a too-coddled society when we expect business to do an individual's job. Facebook's job is to make money however they legally can. My job is to take care of me... that's...

Don't like the conditions of having the job? Find another job. Of COURSE business wants freelancers and folks on the 1099 in order to save money. Want to be paid for post processing? I wonder...

desertsp... I've been online since the days when we were using 150 baud modems; I well understand the realities of privacy online, which is why I'm an advocate of people being responsible-for-self...

Will, I do not hold Google or Facebook responsible for the sheer number of idiot information consumers roving the planet today. Fake news is a personal problem. I don't have that problem... why...

Not at all.  I get no such pleasure, though I do not subscribe to whining. Actually they receive exactly the amount of compensation they deserve, be cause "worth" is decided by the market, not what ...

I think the last thing needed is for government(s) to stick their noses and greasy fingers into the greater internet. If you want privacy, use a private system or learn how to hide your actions on...

Agreed. I think we're on the same sheet of music :)

MrALLCAPS... "Apple is catering to Casuals and ripping off creatives." ... No, Apple isn't forcing anyone to do diddly and is catering to the demographic that feeds them the most money, which...

WP3YF "If you can’t justify the cost of replacing your hardware every 2-3 years, you probably don’t have a very good business anyway"... Hmmm... I have always asserted that in *most* small...

GaryjP... Most of the Apple buying demographic isn't concerned about upgrades. It's not like computing in the 80's/90's where basic programs that people used daily were improving at a breakneck...

I see what you mean and partially agree. Equipment often makes images which otherwise wouldn't be commercially viable... commercially viable; compared to the same image made with a different piece...

I've never found traffic to be much of a problem in San Francisco when using a mix of private/public transportation as good sense often dictates. It's just too easy to get around, especially since...

Seems like there are several interpretations of the word "bokeh". Hmmm... interesting topic Michael B 66

That's another way of looking at it Michael B 66 :)

Actually my views are very long-sighted, rational and predicated on reason. I don't have a lack of concern for recorded history nor is such the thrust of the topic.  Further, most journalism isn't ...

The amount of unsharpness or out of focus bits are a result of aperture and in many cases even more so, the result of simply one's distance to the subject. I can't think of a situation where I can...

HB1969.... Camera + lens is to photography what ingredients are to a chef. . . It makes a difference, and in a lot of cases, it can make a BIG difference which is evident if you've ever purchased...

endofoto "MF is better than FF in many ways but the sensor is too expensive for most enthusiasts and pros"

.... You have to realize that *most* $12,000 lenses, $30k camera kits, and $300k sporting...

How in the world does one have "control" over bokeh? Either the lens design offers buttery smooth out of focus transitions or it doesn't. There isn't much (if anything) the photographer can do...

Bokeh is hardly overrated. Look at the quality of the out of focus area when shooting a cheap $300, 28-200mm lens and compare it to the out of focus area of a $12,000 400 f/2.8 or 200 f/2 lens and...
