Currently I'm not using a whole lot on my Mac for productivity. I guess I have Evernote and Skitch around for clipping important information to keep track of, and I use Quicksilver's floating clipboard as my clipboard extender. But as far as tasks go, I don't have a good system in place. Hopefully Things would help out in that respect.

This would be a great early birthday present. :)

Interesting. Reminds me of Beer Chips: http://beerchips.com/index.php?page=home . We'd found a couple variations at Whole Foods, the original flavor and a margarita version. Both did have a slight beer flavor along with a sweet/salty taste.

Great set of shots. I'm curious, what camera and lens were used for these?

@Farris: If it is true that the person who originally asked the question will not be taking shots longer than 30 minutes, or even shots longer than 10 minutes, then I have to ask why does any artificial clip length limitation matter? It seems like a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to look for a camera that has no clip length limitation when the limitation is moot.

At any rate, last Tuesday I went to my local Sony Style store to see a preview of the new Cybershot DSC-T500 that shoots 720p HD video, and was pretty impressed with the video quality. It's not going to rival true HD camcorders, but for a relatively tiny P&S that you can carry with you always, the video quality is pretty great. You can also use the 5x optical zoom while shooting video, which is a rare feature on digicams now. The video looked very good on a 40-something-inch HDTV. The clips are limited to 10 minutes, presumably because of sensor heat issues. But I thought it was a pretty impressive little camera.

I'm interested in researching more about the Panasonic Lumix TZ5. However, I don't think its video is truly HD, rather interpolated up to 720 (I think all of the Lumix line shoots 800x480?). But if the interpolated video is good, it seems like a decent contender, especially with the 10x optical zoom.

I'm curious, do people really shoot clips of video with digicams or camcorders for longer than 30 minutes? Why? I think it would be more efficient and interesting to shoot several shorter clips and merge them together in post, rather than having a static shot that lasts over 10 minutes. If you watch most TV/movies, scenes don't often last a full 30 minutes without cuts. When they do, it's because the director does something amazing with the cinematography, which, no offense, is not what the average Joe Schmoe does.

For people who do shoot longer clips, do you just post them up as is, without editing for brevity? Most online videos (not that I think all videos should be short, mind you) are shorter than 10 mins, and even then, the longer clips don't hold people's attention as much. Just curious about what the thinking behind longer shooting times is.

Since I live in my browser most of the time I'm on a computer, I'd mainly use this as a mobile browsing device. But it would also be great as a photo bin when I'm out taking pictures somewhere and need to free up some memory. Thanks in advance for a nice birthday present? :)

This would be a great belated Valentine's Day present. :D

Since my Fossil digital watch conked out again, I've gone back to depending on my cell phone for the time. It'd really be nice to have a proper watch again!

Winning this would make my holiday shopping a lot easier. :)
