A shootout of a 24MP APS-C sensor on a Pentax K-3 against a 24MP full frame Nikon D600.

"We figured the Pentax would do a good job, but we never imagined the results would be so outstanding. Our testing shows that the Pentax K-3 swept the Nikon D600 in almost every image we took. Even at high ISOs the Pentax held its own against the full frame sensor!"

"This test clearly shows the full frame Nikon D600 does not have image quality that is nearly as appealing or accurate as the cropped sensor Pentax K-3. Plus, the Pentax K-3 is currently $500 less expensive than the Nikon D600."

Maybe they need to keep updating the software.

And when buying Android you get to support Microsoft to the tune of 2 billion dollars per year.

I had to look it up... http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft...

Yup, http://www.forbes.com/sites/er...

I am sure a lot of it is... don't they make about $10.00 per Android device license? (I think they make more there than they do with Windows phone/mobile services...)

Yeah, cause Mt Hood, Mt Baker, Mt St. Helens or other area volanoes won't affect it. Neither will radiation leaks from the Hanford Nuclear Resveration upstream on the Columbia. No forest fires, or mudslides in the West hills, etc.

Still, it is a great place. Now its time to go to Voodoo Doughnuts...

Quite the opposite. My father in law uses it more than the mother in law, she likes her iPad.

I solved his system crash issues, malware issues and his um.... need to tinker with the system. He uses Firefox and Thunderbird most of the time. He likes Picassa for his photos. Libre Office works for his word processor needs. His Brother MFC printer is fully supported. Etc...

He is happy with his computer just working, and I am happy not fixing it.

My in-laws were having Windows XP issues, so I upgraded them to Mint. Zero support calls to me since then - and they like it...

The downstairs bathroom at my house gets no Verizon reception, zero bars. The rest of the house does, just not that room. Other providers work fine, go figure...

That is what they do.... and they do it well.

Wow. You really need to raid the recycle pile at the garbage dump and get a faster computer...or several of them.

...or stop spamming this OLD comment that has appeared all over the place.

"We all know — because we are being constantly reminded — that we are getting fat. Americans are at the forefront of the trend, but it is a transnational one."

Mexico is now the fattest country:

Vocational Training is being ignored is most parts of the U.S.

Not all kids are suitable for college, or even want to go. Most schools place kids on the college track.

A kid who can graduate from high school with an ASE certification is immediately employable as a mechanic. A kid who completes an apprenticeship can work as an electrician/plumber/HVAC/framer/flagger/heavy equipment operator, etc., anywhere. Most of those earn good money. I have friends who are an electrician, plumber and diesel mechanic and have friends who are a psychiatrist, chiropractor, ER nurse, teacher, etc. Guess who is is in debt and who is not... Heck, one of the guys with a 'vocation' has a side business buying yachts from the east coast and selling them on the west coast. 100K a year from that alone.

At my old high school the metal shops and auto shops (from 25 years ago) are no longer used by those departments. The programs have been cancelled (with many others). What is in their place? Day care for children of the students. That is a SHAME!

News flash: Obama is black?

His mom is white, so he is 50% white.
His dad is (roughly) 75% Arabic and 25% black, so he is (roughly) 37.5% Arabic and 12.5% black.

So, at 50%, was he the next white president?
At 37.5%, was he the first Arabic president?
At 12.5%, was he the first black president?

We know what the media has made the public believe...
