I don't know if this actually is true or just rumors. Read for your self and judge for yourself. Anyway, it is interesting.

@safegaard

 

Megapixels certainly aren't everything, and shrinking them causes problems with noise and dynamic range, but they do matter, as the market for medium-format cameras with up to 80 megapixels illustrates. Some drawbacks of high megapixel counts are cured by carefully controlled studio lighting, too.
If Canon wants to announce a new SLR, it's got a fine venue. It just missed the Photokina show, but the Photo Plus Expo starts in three weeks.

Gayby: A Milwaukee Film Festival movie review

This past Friday, The Milwaukee Film Festival had its first showing of Jonathan Lisecki's Gayby (2012), the story of how Jenn and her gay friend Matt try to hav (Gayby: A Milwaukee Film Festival movie review http://t.co/j65NyCq6...

 

Overall, Gayby is a funny, light-hearted film that makes an example of unconventional families and shares them in a positive light. Though there is not much reasoning behind their reason to start the family in the first place, flamboyant characters and comedy make viewers forget this at times and bring focus to Jenn and Matt as they come across outrageous situations on the dating scene and in the bedroom.

Emoticons: The History of Digital Sarcasm ;-) | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Lauren Drell: "If a picture is worth a thousand words, what's an emoticon worth?"

 

The fun thing is:

 

"This story is incorrect. I have already gone on the university website which published this information and pointed out that emoticons were used by the Defence forces of both Australia and the USA when I was in the Royal Australian Air Force as a Telecommunications operator in 1979. As far as I am aware, telex operators and computer operators were using these symbols long before that. The birth of the emoticon as a communications tool may never be settled, but I can unequivocally say that Mr. Fahlman may have been the first to use them where he was located at the time, but a quick check with Defence or Post Office personnel will quickly debunk him as the originator worldwide."
