Researchers Create Artificial Insect Eye
maxzilla writes "An artificial insect eye that could be used in ultra-thin cameras has been developed by scientists in the US.The dimpled eye, contains over 8,500 hexagonal lenses packed into an area the size of a pinhead. The dome-shaped structure, described in the journal Science, is similar to a bee's eye. The researchers, from the University of California, Berkeley, say the work may also shed light on how insects developed such complex, visual systems. Darpa is also funding this project with applications expected for digital cameras and high speed motion detectors."
They already have those... thousands of them in fact, in Windows XP.
On the other hand, if an article is posted here when the product is FINISHED, you'll get 100 posts saying "this was already reported on this place six months ago"... Articles on slashdot are a loose-loose situation :P
Why do you need tag "science", if the post is already published under science.slashdot.org?
Tags are silly. I have seen a tag "stupid" on one of the previous posts. That will definitely help in search. I can see someone rubbing his hands against each other, saying: "Ok, now time to rest from moderating digg and find some "stupid" articles in Slashdot...".

The summary has two extra commas. The first is just after a noun phrase; the second is just before one.
I've been taking Spanish for quite a while, and recognize common English errors that native speakers of Spanish make, but I'm curious about the comma overuse in the summary here. I have come across this particular error quite a bit lately, and I'm curious whether it's common to native speakers of a particular language.
I know this is seriously OT, but I don't know of any linguist blogs, so can someone help me out here? Thanks!
