I would hope that Canon, a big name in lens for years, would be working to overcome that limitation. It is hard to imagine that they wouldn't be doing something in the lens field to match and make the sensor usable. But, maybe as the report had stated about the 50 Megapixel not showing up, as you said, it is that difficulty they haven't overcome. It is like being given a $1000 bill and no one having the change to break it...

If you have the technology to make a 120 megapixel camera, reverse your thinking. Can you use that technology to decrease the size of your current product, so that a standard 8 to 10 megapixel camera is so small and compact, that it meets the needs of the growing phone/ipod/iphone/ipad industry?

I would burn the telescope time looking for asteriods, since they will "have an impact" on us, sooner than any ET.

Look at it this way. If all that is out there are Smart machinces, why would they want to contact biological life forms? And what would motiviate them to leave a planet? They would have to hardwired "Hairwire" to continue the "passions" of biological beings, which is not of benefit to rational machine enities. Even the Borg had to have a Biological factor to desire to 'assimilate' others. No matter how smart the toaster is, it will see no advantage in looking for bread to burn out its elements. It will be happy to collect dust and stay put.

Sounds like the boys from NASA should get hold of this technology, since the guys in long term space are being bombarded on a regular basis. It might cut some of the current suits mass down, or give the mass over to particle stopping material, instead of radition protection. Even in the ISS, the exposure rate must be high.

I always wondered why Gucci stuff was so expensive... Well, it might be that someone needs to get Mr. Obama to hire this man. If he can do something that the govenment has thrown billions at, and FUND it from the Rich people, he is a gold mine that the Treasury needs to learn to tap.

Dang! I was wishing someone wouldn't fall back on the old saw ("That is x number of floppy disk!) Why didn't you use the even older one, that is x number of copies of the Britannic Encylcopdia? We would have reached the nearest star with that example!!

Yes! I await that defense! "Mom, I wasn't looking at Porn, it was those lazy aliens using our WiFi!!!"

They installed some red light cameras in our town. I notice that they replace the pressure plates in the intersection, with a dual plate system. They read when a car passes over them and that they are the triggers, not the cameras. So, it is the tires of your car that tells on you. Plus, with a dual plate system, they can calculate your speed. When you speed up to get through the changing light, and you exceed the speed limit, they got you twice, once for the red light, and speeding.

So, does anyone remember the Foundation series? Basicly a all-knowing and wise person comes up with the "key" to prodicting the economic and social progression of society. All is well, until a random factor shows up, and crashes the whole party, and causing the system to collaspe. Do not trust in your math to lead humans...

First they took music out of the schools, Then they took the music off the radio, Now they are trying to take the music out of the mouths. I guess the only music the future kids will know is the Televison commericals, and video game music. And it is not from the Evil Big Brother, it is our rich lawyers (pronouced "Li-ars") twisting every penny out every pocket.
