Regarding more M pixels - There are times when I want to crop an image to bring out that "image within an image", and wish I had more M pixels. On the other hand, I'm going through hard drive space fast enough with the 12.7M pix I already have.
Anyone (including PC owners) that has an iPod most likely has iTunes installed. iTunes constantly bombards the users with "click here to update" messages, which by-the-way, also installs Safari unless you are observant and un-check the Safari box. I'll stick with Firefox.
Only a handful of contracting firms are considered "approved suppliers". If you are on your own your out of luck, at least as far as big companies like Microsoft are concerned.
The exec went to a local bar to tip back a few and mistakenly left it on the bar-top. Thinking that his bosses might not find that amusing, he made up the pic-pocket story.
30 years ago, a newbie in the industry, I was given a machine and told to name it. I wanted something short, easy to remember, and easy to spell. So it became "sex"; the managers were not amused. Well, live and learn. At any rate, you live. (You also panic.)
I remember reading an article several months ago (was it Slashdot?) talking about how cable companies often re-compress their digital streams resulting in a lower quality image than what you'd get with a roof antenna.
I have thousands of photographs that I've taken over the last ten years that I back up to multiple off site hard drives. I am fairly good at culling redundant or poor photos, but that's still a lot of photos. I have an immediate need to be able to search for specific photos in all that data. Currently I use Lightroom 2.0 for that. It works pretty well but I consider it "expert friendly". If I die and my daughter inherits all that data she will probably throw it all away if she doesn't have an *easy* way to find the hand full that may be important to her. Organization, cataloging, and search tools are critical.
I'm tall enough (6'2") and the DMV cameras are mounted low enough that it seems like my photo is taken looking up my nostrils. Nostril recognition anyone?
When I was your age I wrote thousands of lines of C code using EDLIN.

I download Chrome. I use Chrome to upload my photos to PBase. Google has the right to distribute copies of my photos any way they please. And yes, I read the Chrome EULA on Google's site.
I've noticed that some of my image apps let you edit an image's EXIF data but DOES NOT update the image file, only the app's database. I now only use Adobe Bridge for editing EXIF. I'm also going to look into Adobe's "Light Room".

A friend who flew small airplanes had a bottle of windshield polish that he used successfully. He gave me some for a disk that got stuck in the drawer of my CD player and it polished the scratch out very nicely.

More dynamic range.
Less noise.

I paid for it as part of my contract with AOL. Push has come to shove. See you later AOL.

Come'on, all I'm asking for is 90days. They just think that the fines are the cost of doing (dirty) business.

I would like to know what my usage is, is there a simple way to measure it? [AOL, Vista, Firefox (yeah I know)]

There's a term that's about to the way of "records".

Here, here. Listen up tool developers!
1 Tera-byte = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes (sorry guys, not going digital here)
The prefix "tera" originates from the Greek word teras meaning "monster".

148,041,666 cubic inchs of paper (8.5 x 11 x 0.0038)
85,672 cubic feet of paper
131,944 linear feet (8.5" x 11") stacked this high

a wall stacked 11" deep, 8 feet high, and 11,682 feet long
a foor to ceiling (8') stack whose base would be 103' x 103'
Just for the fun of it :-)
