I swear I'll have an awesome DSLR before the year's out (likely before I go overseas). Also I swear to have worked and earned money as a professional photographer at some point in life.

Microsoft surface rant: the problem is you have to buy a whole table to use it. Why not develop compact (and above all, reliable) hardware and adaptable software (err, from Microsh!t...?) so that it's more like placing a large, thick book down or moving it around than lugging an entire coffee table around. And what if you already have a coffee table? Will coffee mugs and beans become add-on sales items for Microsh!t?

PS3: Here's an idea that would've been successful (those fools should hire me for their marketing dept., instead of that this is living bs): They should've launched with the following 2 SKUs:
the current 60GB version (not for the still ridiculous price, mind you, and with an 80GB drive) with all the Blu-Ray, HDMI, Hi-def crap that Sony's currently forcing down our throats; OR a 'games' only PS3, which removed Blu-Ray playback ability, and all the extra 'trimmings' such as wireless and use wired controllers to really drive the cost down so that it's on par with Wii, but kept everything else necessary to give full-hd gaming experience. Oh and f#ck the bundled hard drive let everyone:
a/ BYO hdd of ANY size (i.e. some of that 250GB 2.5" action)
b/ use USB storage or whatever flash memory came free with their camera/phone or old any pc hard-drive + USB enclosure = instant storage
I mean 60 GB ain't alot in this day and age. That's less than 3 Blu-Ray discs worth!

that's that
