"To continue with the bird metaphor, let's say photographs are little birds. (Or big birds, whatever you like.) One can still own the bird and share it with others. Consider Flickr as a sort of aviary. People are certainly welcome to come and observe your beautiful collection of birds, enrich their lives and (hopefully) share their experiences with the keeper of said aviary. (The Photographer.) Flickr is the landlord of each photographer's "aviary." It has the responsibility to maintain it and ensure that none of these birds escape, or else face the wrath of many angry bird-keepers. A photographer has the rights to each and every image he / she takes. Should that copyright be violated, it is entirely up to that photographer to do something about it and enforce that copyright. Hopefully this can be done in a civil and trouble-free manner, such as via an e-mail or two, but sometimes it ends up in the hands of the court. Let us hope that Flickr has the sense to fix this promptly." - Fernando
Good little article about six different ways you can position your body to reduce camera shake. For those of us that can't quite afford a shiny new set of all f/2.8L IS lenses, this is nice. ;-) - Fernando

Awesome site where you can find iStat Menus for the Menu Bar, as well as the Dashboard widget to keep track of the status of hardware in your mac! - Fernando

it sucks that you can't cut and paste with an iPhone. It would seem like such a simple thing to do. - Thomas Hawk
this is my number one feature request for the iPhone! Cut and paste doesn't seem so hard! And I wish it was compatible with flash. And had video capabilities... - Melissa Chang
if only Apple wasn't so adament, and makes the ipod touch/iphone a platform, and open it up - Shivanand Velmurugan

I could live without cut and paste if the iPhone could do live video chats in iChat and Skype. That's my #1 feature request. If it could do that, I'd buy one. I've been holding out, waiting for iPhone 2.0 to come. - Raoul Pop
This is unbelievable. I sincerely hope that the media and the Obama campaign are able to get these sort of gross errors in front of the voters out there. - Fernando

Those stories are always infuriating. On a trip a few years ago I was forced to check a carry-on that was deemed to large, and surprise surprise the baggage handlers walked off with my valuables. Never again. - Tom Harrison
I agree with Tom. Camera gear is particularly valuable and I can't help but have a decently-sized carry-on to carry the gear and my MacBook Pro. My bag's too big? Fine. Check the bag. Now, give me a plastic bag to put all my gear in. Small enough for you?? Haha. - Fernando
I've had my check in baggage looted twice in the last 6 month. Both times unlocked but they broke the clasps opening it anyway... - Joi Ito

My rule is: Never Check Anything. So far, it has worked. - Dave Roth
Send anything valuable via fedex or ups. Never let the airlines or the TSA get their hands on your stuff. I had a signed first edition looted from my bag a few years ago. I've never checked anything since. Carry-on or courier. - Kevin D. White
Amen! I'm reading onebag.com as we speak. The new job I'm applying for will have 50-60% travel, and I'm planning some of this stuff now. - ha3rvey (That One)
Travel is not required for my job. Since munchkin #2 came along I've only flown once and that was 3 years ago. Must say that the horror stories out there about security snafus and outright crime are a definite turn off for travel. There's no way me and the fam could fly without 1) checking a crap load of stuff; and 2) carrying on more than most would believe. Try lugging 2 toddlers, 2 car seats, and the other logistical crap too. I can't even imagine getting by with the restrictions on liquids (juice boxes) - Capn' "One-Eye" Longman ☠
