"You must be refering to the 16-80mm carl zeiss lense. Which is optically one amazing lense. Built with price in mind it do suffer from a slower aperature than it should have had."
-yes, that was what I was referring to.
"But the other Carl Zeiss lenses - the 85mm 1.4 and 135mm 1.8, they are *extremly* sharp, very large *aperature* and build very well. So the guy who badmouth those two must not know very much about what he is talking about."
-sticks and stones, sticks and stones. No need to throw an insult my way. Obviously I wasn't talking about the 1.4 and 1.8 lenses. Have a nice day.

sony's relationship with zeiss is all marketing IMHO. Look at the aperture on those lens they're boasting about in this release! f/3.5-5.5. That's not a lens a prosumer would ever go near. Zeiss makes nice glass but... these lens don't even come close to the quality they've been known for in the past.

The wonderful horrible life of Facebook users and their data (or, "data hogs get slaughtered") {The Jason Calacanis Weblog}
Nov 26th 2007 12:23AM P.S. "The only problem with Facebook's opt-in advertising system is that the users who they are selling to marketers didn't really opt-in."
Couldn't an argument be made that FB relies on the same 'opt-in' agreement that any other search engine (read G, Y or Mahalo) relies on when they display sponsored search results next to the 'natural algo results' a user may only be looking for?

Nov 26th 2007 12:18AM Interesting argument and certainly worth a discussion but asking FB to return all user data is akin to demanding Google, Yahoo, TiVO or Mahalo to wash away your user sessions. People are using FB for 'free' ... if they don't want their snail-trails to be monitored and targeted, you opt out and/or stop using the service (if the opt-out is not sufficient.) Simple as that. Welcome to the ad-supported web.
Is there a business in offering the FB experience that doesn't target people with ads in return for a monthly fee? If there was one, there'd be one ... or one would be in private-alpha / public-beta at this exact moment in time.

Mar 7th 2006 9:36PM Curious if someone out in the blogosphere has taken the time to call-out each of the movies paid homage to in this commercial. I can't place half of the references (although I'm not a big M fan.)
