So I take it you also have LCD and some other flat panels all over your house and desk at work showing your digital images. You must be rich.
Seriously though, prints IMHO, are so much better to show your memories.
Sure sometimes a link via email or a web page/blog is enough, but if you ever have more than 1 person over for any function, good luck showing off your images.
ANd yes, I also own many methods to show images on my TV, but trust me, prints still are extremely useful. ITs a sad time for Photos and Imaging when people are content not seeing the images they captured at the quality they paid all that cash for.
That leaves two major players (Noritsu & Fuji) and a revamped comppany (DigitalPortal - aka KISS) still producing traditional labs. (and yes, they all print from digital images as well as film (neg/pos).
No one is printing images on real, traditional (cheaper) photographic, silver halide paper.
Everyone seems content with spending their time and money on home solutions when they finally decide to print anything at all.
It is funny to me that most people take more pictures now on their camera or device since they don't have to buy film or pay for processing, but no one has a single print to show me!
I HATE seeing your family or fun shots on your 2.5" Horiz. - MAX size LCD! (even worse 1.5"!!!) Come on!!! Get real!
Make prints people!!!!
Support your local lab or even local wholesale or major retailer and make some 4x5.5 or 4x6 or larger prints!
It still is cheaper and faster than doing it yourself and people can actually see if your eyes are open in your images.
The news stated he blogged and pointed people to a link to a page he made on the school's server.
Is it possible this page he made used a known Windows vulnerability (yeah, I hear there are a few of them) and in order to trigger the page's effect the user had to hit F5? (playing the odds at least one person would do it, if not more)
If that's the case, its not a simple DoS attack. Its a malicious page that he created with the intent to take down the server.
If that is true, then the story needs updating and the kid needs to go to jail.
If its a simple "refresh the page thing" hoping that thousands of his loyal blog fans simulataneously hit F5 at the same time in order to create a mini-DoS, then he needs to wake up early and get to detention for the rest of the school year.
To me that's kinda like winning the lottery (unless his blog is/. and I don't recall an article earlier on this).
Funny that when I checked a few minutes after this story hit, the oh.us server was down. The whole server itself couldn't handle anything apparently. Must have been an old, unpatched NT server in a back corner of a Municipal building somewhere.
Its any wonder it was up long enough for him to pull off anything on it.
I wonder if the music industry considers the quality of music they are selling.
Meaning - the current artists and albums out there in radio land I hear are crap so it would stand to reason that sales would be down.
Just because they have a catalog of 10,000 (not a real statistic) new albums this year, it doesn't mean that people want them.
To me, the past few years of music have each been getting worse with nothing new or cool out there.
SUre there are a few worth buying, and they are the ones that probably are selling well, but just beacuse Madonna decided to sell yet another album, doesn't mean that the people will like the music enough to buy it.
I think too much emphasis is placed on delivery formats rather than Quality of product.
They need to consider they are selling recycled, redone crap in genres that are stale and over-hyped.

I am shocked everyone picked up on the camera part, but KM is also withdrawing from the mini-lab side of things.
