Best comment so far.
to the original poster:
You feel disloyal to your colleagues, I presume. But you are not employed by your colleagues - you are employed by a company that does not give a damm about you, and will drop you in a heart beat. Remember that. You will discover it over the years as you see good people dropped in the basket for no good reason. Keep your CV up to date, learn how to sell yourself, keep an eye on the job market and don't be scared to change jobs. It can be very difficult changing jobs while still employed but it is *much* better than finding yourself out of work.
The trolltech greenphone might be an alternative, but it seems there are issues with the hardware that cause even trolltech to not advise it for general use.
I'm hoping the Neo1973 doesn't have similar problems, although I'm prepared to stomach a small reduction in battery life for the extra freedom.
Look, you need to relax a bit and find an employer where you can command some respect, and perhaps even show some. You only have one, short life. Don't waste it being a petty, screwed up individual.
p.s. That's not you sitting across the office is it? With the boom mike and binoculars?
I wonder if it would be possible to detect the blurring signal computationally. One could write a 'sensitive location' detector that could zip through image archives. Humm...

>For example, cameras in Chicago and Washington can detect gunshots and alert police
I wonder if they can distinguish the sound of a gunshot from the sound of a recording of a gunshot...

Well said, and an undeserved negative rating.
I'd have modded you up but I'm out of ammo.

I'll stick a reminder in outlook.

Hoping to get ones of those, some day.

Well, duh!

Exactly. Patents are like hands in poker.
A patent means nothing until it has been defended in court.
On the other hand, a patent award gives one a warm feeling and looks great on a CV.
>Wow, how does one about getting a job in games journalism again?
Same way all the other idiots do. Set up a blog, and write rubbish.
Of course you will need a lobotomy to be successful.
>Do you mind if others make calls through your autopatch?
Not at all, go ahead.
