First Impressions: Canon S100 - http://piaw.blogspot.com/2011...
First Impressions: Canon S100
I did not know the S100 went to 24mm. That is an excellent upgrade from the already impressive S90. - Benjamin Golub
Yes. That's actually a huge feature. One reason why SLR pictures look more impressive is because 24mm focal lengths are more readily available. - Piaw Na
I've been considering what I want to use when I don't have the 5d2 with me and the S100 looks like a good bet. (BTW -- I bought the previous S100 ~12 years ago for our honeymoon road trip -- http://www.dpreview.com/news...). However, I've been finding that I just use the camera on my phone more and more. It isn't bad (I have an iPhone 4) but the 'upload now'... more... - Joe Beda
I usually travel in places outside of 3G/Wifi coverage anyway, plus, the phone cameras suck. They really do. People ooo and ahh over my S90 pictures because they've been conditioned to poor shots from camera phones. Of course, back in the film days, they ooo and ah'd over my tripod mounted shots as well. Going the extra step always always helps your results. - Piaw Na
The download/cull/upload loop for my 5D2 is just too much work most of the time and so pictures sit on the card. Sharing pictures with the grandparents suffer. I'd love to improve that without sacrificing the quality of a better camera. The phone cameras are poor but getting a lot better. The iPhone 4 is loads better than the 3GS (which I didn't use as it was so bad). I wonder what kind of conversations Canon/Nikon have had internally about how to handle phone cameras. - Joe Beda
The compact cameras work very well and are loads better than the best phone cameras. The 5D2's a little more work, but not a lot more if you have a fast PC (quad-core + SSD is best). I don't have any issues with photos staying on my card and not being shared. - Piaw Na
Two kids + work = no time for dealing with pictures :) - Joe Beda
Yeah well, that's going to have an impact. Though with photos, I'd rather have a few good pictures than a lot of crap. There's evidence that your perception of the past is determined largely by your photos, so if you have a lot of crappy photos you'll make your self less happy in the long run. - Piaw Na

"In other words, in order to be a global commodity rather than a tropical treat, the banana has to be harvested and transported while completely unripe. Bananas are cut while green, hard, and immature, washed in cool water (both to begin removing field heat and to stop them from leaking their natural latex), and then held at 56 degrees — originally in a refrigerated steamship; today, in a refrigerated container — until they reach their country of consumption weeks later." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

Do our children really love us, or are they just exhibiting Stockholm Syndrome? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
I think it's a little bit of both... - April Buchheit
Do we really love our children, or are we just exhibiting Stockholm Syndrome? - Tudor Bosman
Tudor, are you suggesting that our children are really OUR captors? - Gabe
Gabe, once you put it that way, do you really need to ask? Look in your heart. You know it to be true. - Stephen Mack
Yes, Gabe, I think that's what Tudor is saying. And I think I agree. They've captivated us with their cuteness so by the time they're surly adolescents/adults, we're sufficiently hooked. :) - April Buchheit

Prediction: Quora will be bought by Google by February, 2011.
Before, or after Twitter? - Paul Buchheit
Oh before, definitely. I think Google's going to take one more try at building an in-house competitor before they make another serious acquisition attempt. They knew when to throw in the Video towel and grab YouTube, but the hype machine has driven Twitter's perceived valuation beyond what even Google would pay for it. - Kevin Fox
Then again, maybe Google has a different view on Twitter's monetization potential: http://techcrunch.com/2010... I guess we'll see. - Kevin Fox
I sincerely hope not. That would also mean that they could not morph/innovate on Aardvark . - Space Cowboy
What is Quora, and is there a reason I should care about it? - Gabe
Cristo: Good idea. Do they have a web site? - Gabe
Cristo, rhetorical question? - Private Sanjeev
Cristo, I'm not suggesting that Quora is a Twitter competitor. - Kevin Fox from iPhone
Gabe, I don't know you personally but, I like Quora enough to make me reply. Check out the questions and answers on this page: http://www.quora.com/How-Is-... - Space Cowboy
Kevin, I'm still betting on Twitter first. Quora will be too expensive for a long time (it will take more than 6 months for the bid/ask to cross). - Paul Buchheit
I wonder if any big company ever died by being too trigger-happy on acquisitions. - Private Sanjeev
Time-Warner? ;-) - Kevin Fox from iPhone
Or IAC? - Kevin Fox from iPhone

I’m Leaving TechCrunch. Here’s Why. - http://techcrunch.com/2011...
Paul Carr goes nuclear. Bring popcorn. - Louis Gray
Paul Carr can go where ever the hell he wants. He lives in hotels for crying out loud. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
"utterly devoid of hap" is a nice turn of phrase, though. - Laura Norvig
Love that he makes much of the betrayal of Mike and Heather, but the better candidate who loses out due to maternity leave gets short shrift. - Jennifer Dittrich
^ This. - Friar Will (:^)
A little confused. When you sell you lose all control. What did they expect? - Todd Hoff
That the rules of business, like the rules of journalism, didn't apply to them. - The original Kevin
I suspect Arrington expected to retire. He's done so pretty ingeniously. Seems like right now the fate of TC's up to MG. - Ken Sheppardson
Good riddance mutherfucker, save Huffington from taking out more trash - The Real sofarsoShawn
Shawn, she's losing all the people worth a damn, and ending up with only the trash left. There's only 3 people left worth a damn, MG, Sarah, and Alexia. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
That's why these kind of acquisitions are puzzling. They are based on the people which tend to move on. - Todd Hoff
Well, based on the fact the acquiring company doesn't actually *realize* it's about people. Sort of an old media view, where they're buying up the TechCrunch "audience", "brand", etc. - Ken Sheppardson
Then shame on Arrington for selling to them in the first place. I see a lot of similarities between this and the whole Crunchpad fiasco. Mike makes a bad choice and acts all surprised when it doesn't work out. - The original Kevin
Schonfeld just tweeted this: "I accept your resignation @paulcarr. Nice timing to post that while I am on a plane. You are a misinformed coward." These guys are worse than a bunch of teenage girls. - The original Kevin
Good grief! It's kind of like reading Failbook statuses. - vicster
I presume this is all a stunt to increase page views. - Stephen Mack from iPhone
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. - Ken Sheppardson
Agree with Ken. Stephen, the only piece remotely suspicious is the Friday timing, But this is dirty laundry airing in public. Nobody is clean. - Louis Gray
There are people that care about this? - I like big Botts from iPhone
This means nothing to me. I mean literally, I know nothing of this whole shemozzle. Should I? - Pete
These guys should go into politics, they're a bunch of exceptionalist, petulant children. - Rene, Pro Button Pusher
This was better than a reality show Haha - Shevonne
Is it just me of does TechCrunch (and the people involved) come off like a high school newspaper? - Johnny
You guys follow TechCrunch enough to know who writes for them? - Rodfather

Now we know what that 94 minute video was. :) - Jimminy, CoG of FF
At first look I also thought he became gangsta :p - deerstep
that explain other FF posts, looking for tapes and where can one upload large video files ;-). - Tzury Bar Yochay
Yeah, I never did get the duct tape though, so I had to use clear packaging tape instead (with a sock stuffed between the iPhone and my hat to get the correctish angle). - Paul Buchheit

this was perfect, I opened up my Paris map and followed you :) - ipek aral kişioğlu
I'm surprised you were able to follow. I didn't have a map (my iPhone was taped to my head!) so I made a number of wrong turns, though the high-level route was pretty basic. - Paul Buchheit
Saw the vimeo on your stream and watched a little of it. Great stuff! Cool to see new iphone vid quality. (er 3gs? quality, hmm) Oh yeah, and enjoy Paris! - Jay
It's actually a 3GS, not an iphone 4. - Paul Buchheit
I think I might tape a photo of Paul with an iPhone taped to his head to my head because I want to get arrested for being a menace. - Akiva
You can fit an iPad on my forehead. - Josh Haley
Ahhh this explains the "ducktape in Paris" stuff LOL :D (that picture is full of geeky win!) - Susan Beebe
@Paul just curious how much battery did you have left after you were done recording? - BRҰANSAҰS
Something like 22%, as I recall. I had put the phone in airplane mode to reduce wireless consumption and also because I'm concerned that an incoming call would stop the video or something. - Paul Buchheit
Not bad. I guess you could get at least 2 hours of recording on one charge. - BRҰANSAҰS from BuddyFeed
Nice idea, OP - LANjackal
this is definitely on the list of 'quirkiest things ever done with an iPhone'. :-) - Olivia Lovag
this is so romantic - τorƍue

Yesterday, we had forgotten to bring the chickens back inside before heading out to dinner. We came home to find that they had flown/jumped through the window to get into the garage. Percy, Petunia, and Sweet Pea were huddled together asleep on top of the cage while Bubbles was still perched on the window sill. My chickens are so cute!!
No pics, though. Sorry. <shrug> - April Buchheit

"Cell phones have a small aperture, hence a large depth of field. In other words, most of the scene is in focus at once.  However, if you record video while moving the phone slightly, and you add the frames of the video together, you can simulate the large aperture of an SLR. This app lets you do that." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

Michele Bachmann's Holy War | Rolling Stone Politics
"Snickering readers in New York or Los Angeles might be tempted by all of this to conclude that Bachmann is uniquely crazy. But in fact, such tales by Bachmann work precisely because there are a great many people in America just like Bachmann, people who believe that God tells them what condiments to put on their hamburgers, who can't tell the difference between Soviet Communism and a Stafford loan, but can certainly tell the difference between being mocked and being taken seriously. When you laugh at Michele Bachmann for going on MSNBC and blurting out that the moon is made of red communist cheese, these people don't learn that she is wrong. What they learn is that you're a dick, that they hate you more than ever, and that they're even more determined now to support anyone who promises not to laugh at their own visions and fantasies." - Tudor Bosman from Bookmarklet

Self-Compassion: The Most Important Life Skill? - http://news.yahoo.com/s...
"With or without self-esteem interventions, most people think they are better than average on just about every trait psychologists have bothered , including self-awareness, Neff explained. And today's college students, according to a 2010 meta-analysis of past relevant research, published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, are more narcissistic than they have ever been. They may also be less resilient and more fragile psychologically, according to experts such as Hara Estroff Marano, author of "A Nation of Wimps" (Broadway, 2008). Kids who, say, grow up constantly hearing "You are so smart," may start believing "smartness" is part of what makes them lovable. And therefore, anything that does not support this picture of themselves, such as a C on a test, a negative evaluation or a job rejection, causes them to become defensive, anxious or, in some extreme cases, completely fall apart, Marano contends. Rather than continuing to put stock in building... more... - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet
Why elevate self-compassion over compassion in general? - Huy Zing
I think a lot of people have problems with anxiety, but self-esteem as a cure for anxiety sounds like something a narcissist came up with. This sounds much healthier, although I'm a little troubled with the overall influence of psychological fashion as evidenced by the self-esteem movement. - Zach Baker from iPhone
