Grant how about hooking a brother up with a test unit for like a couple of years ;)

Pacific Coast Highway. That is all.

We are going to miss you around here Christina. I have always enjoyed your pieces on Boxee especially.

Best of luck!

Oh and PS get some sun :P

Clearly Victor needs morning caffeine before posting lol

Clearly one of these should go to me :D

Hey Jason nice to see you come by the old stomping grounds. How are things going with Mahalo these days?

Bob is correct. Different f-stops would mean different depths-of-field. Smaller apertures like f/8 would have more of a scene in focus than a larger aperture like f/4.

If you try to make an HDR with multiple images at different f-stops you would get a pretty blurry image as different depths-of-field would be merged.

Typically the only thing that changes in a bracketed HDR is the exposure bias (or EV on some cameras like Nikon) - this is the amount of bias in over or under-exposure in a given capture.

@Major4Play:

According to this article - http://www.wired.com/listening_post/2008/03/apple-apparentl/ - (2008, based on 2007 revenues) Apple did about 1.9 billion in revenue from iTunes that year, with over half a billion profit. And I am sure the numbers are up since then since they introduced videos etc.

I don't think that is anything to sneeze at. I imagine if they were to open iTunes up to other devices not only would they see more sales, but profit would scale upward as well.

It is probably in Apple's best interests to leave this alone.

It reaffirms iTunes position as a premier application for managing media libraries. And sales of tracks is sales. If they are played on an iPod or a Pre it is sales.

Lastly, I think allowing other vendors to tie into iTunes could help them fight off antitrust charges that are likely on the way.

Honestly, if they want to open a can of worms by blocking access it is their right as it is their program, but it might be more trouble than it's worth.

Same - also as of the last build Xmarks can sync cross-browser too ;)
