With no personal accountability, people feel free to act poorly. The previous poster was quite accurate. Anonymity is the answer, pure and simple. If everyone was forced to post with their real name, two things would happen 1) people would say much less and 2) people would be more cordial, in general. I'm not suggesting that this is a good idea, merely that being anonymous makes people act with Id instead of Superego.
God I hope not. Six Sigma is 3.4 defects per million. In a 7 megapixel camera, that's 24 dead pixels. :-)
It is name licensing and nothing more. GE will not make this camera. Just like GE does not make toasters, blenders, USB hubs, remote controls, and keyboards, and yet you can find them in various places like Target and Wal-Mart. GE doesn't make TVs either, but you can still find them with the GE logo on it. The smallest appliance that GE actually makes itself is a dish washer. Almost everything else is some other manufacturer being allowed to slap the GE logo on a product they already make. In some cases, GE will resell it (like microwaves and air conditioners), and in other cases, GE will never resell it (like telephones, blenders, and televisions).

General Imaging paid General Electric some money. General Electric sets some guidelines in terms of marketing rules. General Imaging agrees to follow them. General Electric allows them to use the GE logo. That's it and that's all, end of story. There will be no donation of GE imaging technology into this camera, and it's doubtful that GE Healthcare even knew that this product was going to have the logo (by the way, we call it "the meatball" when no one is listening) slapped on it.
Drivers?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
