“There is no question, about it. Wall Street got drunk…that’s one reason I asked you to turn off TV cameras…he’s got drunk and now it’s got a hangover, the question is, How long will it sober up and try not to do all these fancy financial instruments?” - G.W. Bush

The dark knight is one of the best films ever, succeeding on multiple levels. It is a very well designed and stimulating web site, and is punishingly long, cramming in enough erstwhile plot points, zig-zags and twists in to fill out two or three films. It is at its best when it slows down the action and dwells on the character moments and there’s a lot to choose from. The dark knight is a worthy and entertaining sequel any fan of Batman will love, and is bound to haunt you long after you’ve told yourself, Aah, it’s only a comic-book movie.
Well, after several films, a couple of hours clicking away and finally printing the images we captured, we finally decided that the Canon EOS 40D is indeed worth its $1,250 - $1,500 price tag. And yeah, it is superior in performance as compared to the 30D. Let’s be honest; the Canon EOS 40D is a D-SLR camera that is about the most complete a camera can be. It is a solid camera, with excellent auto focus, a silent shutter and mirror, a beautiful viewfinder and fine operation. Packed with lots of advanced features and user-friendly settings, the Canon EOS 40D is a great option for film based SLR user or those looking to upgrade their DSLRs. With a 10.1 megapixels CMOS sensor, the 40D reproduces exceptionally accurate colour with minimal noise thanks to its 14-bits image processing and redesigned pixels on its sensor.
The Samsung Instinct-M800 is the pinnacle of Samsung design as of this writing. It is a candy bar style touch screen device with everything that a user could possibly want. The Samsung Instinct includes a 2.0 mega pixels and a 3.1 touch screen with vibration feedback. No price for the moment for Telus but we think it’s very similar to bell price. The Samsung Instinct maintains the same minimalist form factor, carrying a 3.1-inch touchscreen with it plus only three hard keys on its face. It also features local haptic feedback so that you’ll be able to feel each key press on its slippery touchscreen display.
Apple’s iPhone supremo Greg Joswiak told me that the camera software had been tweaked to produce better quality pictures, but the fact is that the imaging is the iPhone’s weakness: no flash, no video recording, no autofocus, no videocalling. (more…)
