Flickr camera stats. Sure iPhone is gaining ground on the Canon, but that's because the Canon is an extra load to be carried, whereas iPhone is your phone, camera, music player, portable web, etc. NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE AN iPHONE. That 2mp cam doesn't cut it with me!

i love this time of the year: E3 and Tennis tournaments (French Open, Queen's Club, Wimbledon). The crappy Sydney winter chill is an even better excuse to stay indoors.

why Project Natal fails:
"People in the casual market like feeling something physical to keep your hands aligned," he said. "When you grab the Wiimote and swing it, it feels like you're swinging a baseball bat, versus pantomining swinging a bat. I think that if you take all [the controllers] away and you're just pantomiming everything, there may be some disconnect with realism there."
-Chris Arbogast, Nyko's director of marketing
I concur
