RT @Beatweek: TechCrunch was "over as we know it" the day AOL acquired it. It was always going to end badly. These things always do.
Anybody on Google+ that I am not following? I haven't abandoned FF altogether but certainly spending more time there than here.
nice - Yogesh Kumar

A dilemma for E-Learning Developers - http://www.coursesbywire.com/blog...
Many surveys have shown that adult learners that have daily access to computers enjoy and find more effective E-learning segments delivered in small increments. Our own informal polls indicate that under 15 minutes is an ideal delivery portion. A combination of bite sized chunks of knowledge that fit neatly into small segments of the learner's day seems best from both a learning retention point of view and a learner's positive attitude to the process. We work very hard with subject matter experts to compress delivered segments into usable smaller segments. Regulators in professions that require continuous education for their members (this includes medical professions, real estate professionals and many others) seem to work against this principle though. Their measure of "credits" is based on how long a delivered lesson is -- tending to push developers to make segments longer rather than shorter. Similar content delivered in longer times becomes the driving force. So much so that some... - Brian Sullivan

News of the World phone-hacking whistleblower found dead
"Hoare first made his claims in a New York Times investigation into the phone-hacking allegations at the News of the World. He told the newspaper that not only did Coulson know of the phone hacking, but that he actively encouraged his staff to intercept the phone calls of celebrities in the pursuit of exclusives." - Brian Sullivan from Bookmarklet
"not... suspicious" - really ? - Brian Sullivan
That was my thought when I read this earlier today. - Anika
Still clinging to FF but Google + is looking more attractive as a replacement.

From the Redonculous Department of Idiocy. - Brian Sullivan from Bookmarklet
April fools? - Shannon - GlassMistress
I think it's cool, just not $250 cool. - Rodfather
Think of it this way, wouldn't you like Instagram, 360 Panorama, iMovie, and a 3G connection on your DSLR? You can make a quick and dirty movie and share it right away. - Rodfather
I have a friend who would actually really dig this. (He's a professional photographer too.) He just wouldn't be interested in it for that price point. - SAM
If someone really needs to carry a $3000 lens around, why wouldn't he just carry a camera as well? It looks good but of no use. - Faraz Mullick
I don't think a person would be limited to using it with $3000 lens, what Rodfather said is a good use case, and some people appreciate the novelty. Of no use to you would be reasonable. - SAM
Hooking up a SLR lens to an iPhone and calling it a DSLR is a bit like sticking a prancing horse logo on a Fiat 500 and calling it a Ferrari. - Brian Sullivan
Who called it a DSLR? It's a lens mount. - Rodfather
Other than the price, what is the actual objection to this product? - Bren from iPhone
Rodfather- I thought that was implicit in your earlier comment. - Brian Sullivan
No, you're tripping. I wouldn't mind having an OS in a DLSR. - Rodfather
As the owner of a 6MP DSLR, I don't really see what's ridiculous about 5MP pictures through a good lens. - Bruce Lewis
Rodfather -- so your comment earlier has nothing to do with this product -- you were just daydreaming about a product that you wish existed? - Brian Sullivan
It says exactly what it says. Why such much hate? There's even a group that makes movies on the iPhone only. For them, it would be a cool addition. You can use lenses you have sitting around and make a movie with different lenses. What's so horrible about that? - Rodfather
Bruce -- adding a big lens to a 5MP iPhone does not turn it into the equivalent of a 5MP DSLR -- not even close. Size in MP matters a lot less than size of sensor -- and iPhone's sensor is very small. - Brian Sullivan
Rodfather - no hate implied -- at least not to you. I just think the product is ridiculous. - Brian Sullivan
No answer to my question? Okay. - Bren from iPhone
Bren - to me seems to a solution looking for a problem -- it is technology for technology's sake -- -- just because it is possible to do something it doesn't always make sense to make and try to sell a product that does it. - Brian Sullivan
I think Rod has already made a compelling argument against that, Brian. Maybe it's just me, but your vitriol for this product seems disproportionate to your stated complaint about the product. As I understand it, the only problem (aside from price) is that *you* don't have a use for it. - Bren from iPhone
I see it as just a lens mount. That's it. On a side note, this reminds me when people started making adapters for consumer video cameras to mount 35mm lenses. This was huge. Only around 4 years ago too. That was the first time people could use interchangeable lenses on a relatively cheap video camera. It opened up so much more possibilities for students and indie filmmakers. Now that... more... - Rodfather
Bren - not sure it was intended as vitrol or should be characterized as such, I don't know how else I can assess and present a point of view except as well .. my point of view. I definitely have no use for this product (or for an iPhone for that matter) - Brian Sullivan
"ridiculous department of idiocy" struck me as fairly vitriolic for a product that is, in reality, simply not useful to you. Again, maybe that's just me. - Bren from iPhone

"The media titan Rupert Murdoch abandoned his defiance of popular and Parliamentary pressure on Thursday, sacrificing the mass-circulation British tabloid News of the World in a bid to protect his News Corporation empire from fallout from the deepening phone hacking scandal." - Brian Sullivan from Bookmarklet
We can only hope that this is Murdoch's Waterloo. - Brian Sullivan
