So does the 5D, just leave the mode dial on "green".

I have some great photos I took with my phone. Whenever I look at them, I feel a twinge of regret that I didn't take them with the DSLR instead.

When I do lug my DSLR around (which is often) I always have my (fairly respectable) smartphone too. I _never_ take a shot with the smartphone when the DSLR is at hand. If it's a real shot that is, not just somebody's license plate in a fender bender or something. A decent holster case makes a world of difference.

Hah hah, nice joke, will you be here all week? Shutter lag, just for starters...

A pro DSLR will catch the moment in 200 ms or less. Anybody who ever did baby shots will tell you that your phone is great for taking shots of your baby a second or two after they did something interesting. Plenty of great shots of back of baby's head.

Canon has me pegged, they _know_ I need the 5D S :)

You posted about your S3 in response to an article headlining the 5D S? I guess you won't be publishing your work in a magazine...

"Right, my ghetto blaster sounds great there's no way I need to spend $2k a side on studio monitors* a side."

* Cheap ones.

EEs are famous for thinking they have a clue about software :)

Right, you own a phone so you're an expert :)

Keep in mind that the power management software in your phone may suck and fall short of achieving all the efficiencies that the hardware is capable of. BTW, it is not necessary to lecture me about power curves, far from it.

It will take more than a decade to overwhelm the automated highways. See, traffic grows at low single digit rates while automation increases capacity by a multiple. In that time tunneling technology will improve, bringing down the cost. Freeways will become double deck or more. Color me not alarmed. When shooting the bird, aim at the bird, not the bushes all around you. Oh, and please don't shoot the bluebird.

Not necessarily. Efficiency can actually increase If the high power cores are able to bring the whole system to a low power state sooner.

More to the point, this gets us one step closer to true gillyweed

What's actually going to happen is automated roads. It's inevitable. You enter the road and your autopilot takes over, running all traffic without stop and go, bumper to bumper, at the highest speed practical for the response characterics and safety margins of the vehicles. Like a train. No autopilot, no drive on road (you can take the back roads). This will increase throughput under load by a multiple.

If.

Sorry, what did they learn again?
