It's fast, it's slick, it rocks.
This thing is fast, though it took about 3 reboots for all teh snappy to emerge, it's built really well, much better than my iBook was (no creaks), the display is huge, gorgeous and bright, the keyboard is taking me a while to get used to (Thank the iGods that Apple make it easy to disable the caps lock key or this entire thing would be shouted), it's warm but *not* hot (I got the 5200rpm HD for this reason alone), Magsafe is just about sensitive enough to avoid catastrophe, but magnetic enough to not come out when you don't want it to, the built in iSight doesn't seem to be at the optimum angle for me while I'm sitting on the sofa, though it improves if I pop the computer on a desk.
Rosetta is fast, quick and transparent (I have a tv usb stick and the app it uses isn't a universal binary, yet it runs perfectly without sucking down CPU), although iPhoto is currently choking on my library so I'm calling AppleCare tomorrow to sort that out.
All in all, I'm a very happy consumerist bunny.
30-4-2015 - Emirates, Airbus A380-841.
A quick glimpse of the flight deck during our on-board tour of the EK A380.
Info:
Aircraft was built in 2006 and carried the test reg. F-WWSD. It was used in the A380 test programme as F-WWJB and delivered to Airbus on 19-2-2006.
It was delivered to Emirates on 12-12-2009.

Behold, an historic camera. It doesn’t look much of a landmark, yet this Praktica was the finest that Europe had to offer in the SLR world. Launched in 1965, it was the first European SLR with TTL metering, arriving a year later after the Spotmatic.
Unfortunately, this Nova chassis proved to be a nightmare for Pentacon, the cameras quickly got a very bad reputation, especially the shutter. In an effort to improve the camera and the brand’s image, they decided to launch an upmarket version, even daring to call it a professional camera, the Prakticamat.
Not a lot of camera of european camera manufacturers were left in 1965, but to have this Prakticamat as Europe’s most sophisticated offer speaks a lot of how far behind were the SLRs from Zeiss Ikon or Leica. Let’s not trash the Prakticamat too quickly, its design is original, balanced and served as inspiration to design the real professional Pentacon Super and almost 20 years later, Porsche would incorporate into the design language of the Contax cameras some Prakticamat styling cues, like the shutter speed dial on the left, or the big button on the the front to activate the meter.
The camera is well finished and has stood the test of time rather well, bearing in mind that this unit is nr.1400, it must have been one of the earliests. Not a lot of them were built, just about 25.000 units,a drop in the sea of 9 million Prakticas produced. I think that no one got convinced about the Pro side of the camera. Apart from the TTL metering, the specs are ordinary, although this model has all the standardized shutter speeds from B to 1/1000th, something absent from the lower siblings. The viewfinder is rather small, but surprisingly bright. The split image rangefinder is simply huge, one of the biggest I have ever seen. The viewfinder is far from uncluttered, with a yellow colored rectangle on the right with the needle indication and a red flag on the left to warn you that the shutter is not coked, a feature that would stay right to the last Praktica built in the 90’s. The shutter might be trouble prone, but it’s relatively quiet, compared to the next generation of L cameras.
This rather poor proposition of a professional camera prompted Pentacon to massively invest in a true alternative to the Nikon F, the Pentacon Super and to come up with a range of highly innovative and reliable cameras in 1969, the L series. There is nothing like the bitter taste of defeat to spur revenge!

strong connection between the red booth and the ad on the bus... That
was a pure coincidence. I'll soon share a huge panorama of the city.

Hello
How are you, my friends?
I want you to critique construction in this snapshot monophonic
Thanks

I'm used to a strange allotment of worth in my life. My truck barely worth the gas I put in it always has crazy expensive bikes and kites and skiing gear in it. But my work desk is normally pretty standard. I've got a few shiny Apple products for work and play, but recently I added a new desk ornament, which again throws off the value perceptions.
This is the result of many many many a long and stressful night spent on my Senior Design project at the University of Colorado. Basically, it is a just crazy fancy camera. I was tasked with building it up from scratch, starting with the sensor. That baby is a $5000, 5 Megapixel sCMOS sensor. It costs so much because it is more sensitive than any sensor in our pretty DSLRs, and reads out about 10x cleaner images. Oh, also it happens to read out at 100 FRAMES/SECOND, at full 16 bit resolution (higher than our fancy cameras too. The thing spits out gigabytes/second of data! This was my first time designing any electronic systems, so was pretty stoked when it finally worked.
Now, I have a few of these boards and 3 or 4 sensors sitting in boxes in my garage. At one point they were rediculously expensive pieces of cutting edge technology, now they're just pretty pieces of silicon. Makes for a cool desk decoration though! Perfect mix of nerdiness and photography for me, always keeps me motivated when it catches my eye.
Here's our little engineering site/blog in case anyone is interested.
