None of the photos bothered to showcase depth of field in portraits/group shots (although the bokeh we do see is very pleasant).

Etymotics has been doing this with their ear-canal 'phones for a long time. Very comfy.

Knowing Comcast, if you download more than a few HD movies per month, they'll give you a rude call, say that you're downloading an "unreasonable amount" without telling you how much is too much.

If you counter by saying that all you're doing is using your new internet connection at well below it's full bandwidth capacity, they'll say that no reasonable would be downloading as much as you, and you're making trouble for their other users.

They'll then threaten to blacklist you for 12 months if you don't reduce your downloads to a level that they'll refuse to tell you.

How can they patent this?
