@TheLostVikings R.O.A.C.H.: Also amazed, seems like this guy would get trampled in a stampede of termites, and he is the Meg Griffin of superheroes... but he might have other talents too. I imagine it has oily skin and probably tastes like cauliflower and lima beans to the insects. Just a guess, google told me nothing. #bbclife
My fiancee has speculated, and I'm inclined to agree, that extra footage goes into making their series "Walk on the Wild Side," which is quite hilarious. #bbclife
Planet Earth was what made my upgrade to my current HDTV (and what made me buy a PS3 over Xbox - so I could watch it on Blu-Ray) - guess its time to go shopping again... #bbclife
@Hiphopopotamus: Planet Earth has to be one of the most beautiful HD documentaries to date. These poeple really get how to use the technology and should defiantly be rewarded and encoraged.
Unfortunately I end up filling my DVR up with stuff I don't want to delete every time they air something like this on Discovery HD... #bbclife
I got a "toy" microscope when I was 12 (which I still have) and it fueled my imagination of the possibilites of infinate universes so small that they cant be seen or even imagined (that and Horton Hears a Who). Having the ability to take pictures of that is nothing short of BAD ASS COOL.
@FooSchnickens: The lens on a DVD is much different. The thickness of the DVD transparent substrate medium is half that of a CD, thus the objective lens of the DVD is different to mitigate spherical abberation. Also, the recording track width and optical wavelength are different. The DVD lens can be made backwards compatible for CD, but not vice versa.
I've been using one for a month now. I never have to keep receipts -- snap a picture, email it off, and you're done. It was next to impossible to get receipt pictures before this - now they look great.
@PansyCentaur: What would be really cool is a neat receipts like image recognition engine built into the iPhone. After you take the pic, it sends your receipt in digital form to your e-mail.
Oh wait did I just come up with another great idea? Oh yeah I did.
