Increasingly large megapixel photos are an interesting thing though, but to me they are only interesting if the focus is small. Imagine you are a woman looking at dress photos online. The photos have such amazing detail that you can zoom in and see the weave of the fabric itself, the details of the patterns. Then imagine you're looking at a mate's car photos. You can zoom in and read the badges etc. On a photo of a forest you can zoom in and check out a bee landing on an interesting flower.
Oh, ye. The interactive view appears to be slashdotted...

likuidkewl writes "Two super-earths, 5 and 7.5 times the size of our home, were found to be orbiting 61 Virginis a mere 28 light years away. 'These detections indicate that low-mass planets are quite common around nearby stars. The discovery of potentially habitable nearby worlds may be just a few years away,' said Steven Vogt, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at UCSC. Among hundreds of our nearest stellar neighbors, 61 Vir stands out as being the most nearly similar to the Sun in terms of age, mass, and other essential properties."

Have you tried an electronics contact cleaner like Blue Shower? It's a little pricey, but works well for cleaning electronics.
