That's the problem: DSLRs use a better auto focus system than compact cameras. DSLRs use phase detection, while compacts focus based upon contrast. See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_focus#Passive_autofocus

Intel Says to Prepare For "Thousands of Cores" 638
Impy the Impiuos Imp writes to tell us that in a recent statement Intel has revealed their plans for the future and it goes well beyond the traditional processor model. Suggesting developers start thinking about tens, hundreds, or even thousand or cores, it seems Intel is pushing for a massive evolution in the way processing is handled. "Now, however, Intel is increasingly 'discussing how to scale performance to core counts that we aren't yet shipping...Dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of cores are not unusual design points around which the conversations meander,' [Anwar Ghuloum, a principal engineer with Intel's Microprocessor Technology Lab] said. He says that the more radical programming path to tap into many processing cores 'presents the "opportunity" for a major refactoring of their code base, including changes in languages, libraries, and engineering methodologies and conventions they've adhered to for (often) most of the their software's existence.'"

Another example. Coincidentally, I discovered this week that Apple Mail will run a Mac application thta has been attached to an email directly out of Mail. It will warn you, twice, about this, but Windows warns you about new apps as well that hasn't stopped millions of clueless end users ignoring the warnings and just clicking away. I did a few tests on users at work and they *all* opened the app. An app, combined with the applescript ARDAgent exploit would be an excellent way for an attacker to install a trojan for phishing or zombie purposes.
I just tried this under Mac OS X Leopard, but I cannot reproduce this.
