Philips Develops Fluid Lenses

Lars T. writes "Digital Photography Review has a short report indicating: 'Philips Research at the CeBIT exhibition is demonstrating a unique variable-focus lens system that has no mechanical moving parts. Suited to a wide range of optical imaging applications, including digital cameras.' Here is Philips' press release and the Heise News article (in German) where I first heard about it. The latter also mentions that Philips has recently used the same electrowetting effect in an 'ePaper' display prototype."

    Gaaahhh!

    I hate to be a "sayings nazi" but I've been seeing this a lot lately on slashdot.

    The correct saying is "fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on you".

    Sorry to be so strict. ^_^
