My reception's fine, but I really wish Apple would hurry up and fix the slow typing bug...
The sluggishness issue appears to have been fixed in the new 2.02 firmware. My 1st gen phone is now as fast as it was before all of this 2.0 nonsense. Now that's progress!
Most importantly, lossless compression might mean that you don't need to shoot in RAW all the time, and be at the camera manufacturer's mercy. Actually, RAW has a number of advantages over simple lossless compression. My camera's RAW format stores the raw data that the sensor recorded (along with a slew of camera settings), which is more than a simple RGB value. After the photo has been taken, I can change the values that the sensor interpreted, which allows me much more freedom than only being able to adjust the color and/or brightness. For example, the RAW format gives me the ability to change a day scene to night and vice versa without blowing out the exposure.
Bad lighting conditions? Remove dust? Come on. Last I checked CRT and LCDs glow... unless he was working from memory alone without the aid of a monitor, he's a flipping liar.
The 'bad lighting conditions' mentioned refer to the conditions under which the photo was taken, not the conditions under which it was edited. Both of these operations are not uncommon for a film negative being transferred into digital format.
I'm one of the people who started to go to college (on the comp sci track, which never taught me alot about computers), then got a job in the computer industry. I've now been working for 4 years, and I've found there is nothing limiting how far I could go in this industry. Going back to school for a degree in computers would be a waste of time, as I've broadened my horizons further than school could have brought them. If I need to learn anything about this industry, I just need a book, or to speak for a few hours with someone who already has the knowledge I seek, as I've got a good enough foothold to bring myself up to that level.
However, I have started going back to school (JC). But not to study computers. I've gone back to study music. I decided that school would better suit me expanding into areas which I have only minimal knowledge and almost no exposure to (save for what I can do on my own). My advice, if you're going to go back to school, don't study what you already know. Study something you wish to know more about.

Silly gamer! It's so much easier to change the unit: "I'm getting 13 frames per hour".

That's about what I used to get running scene generation on VistaPro with my (turbo button on!) 386.
It's news like this that makes me glad my cell phone still has an off button.
