Dream PDA

Given Dell's recent entry into the PDA market, my dream PDA combination would be the Dell Axim PDA, with a Pocketop Keyboard, and configured to work with a cell phone. URLs for putting this combo together are:

Top 10 Outsider Videos. Excellent collection of bizarre moments caught on tape. The outtakes of Orson Welles trying to do a wine commercial are strange. (I asked a friend of mine, who was Welle's assistant in the '70s, if Welles was as drunk as he appeared to be. He said possibly, but it may have been the medication Welles was taking at the time.)

Fujifilm's new FinePix. PC Stats review of the FinePix F402, Fujifilm's stylish new 2.1 megapixel digital camera. The F402 has Fujifilm's latest SuperCCD sensor, which supposedly translates images into 4 million effective pixels: The technology behind Fujifilms' Super CCD revolves around how the CCD sensor is constructed, and how the octagonal photodiodes themselves are oriented in a honeycomb pattern. The octagonal shape is more efficient at capturing light, and thus produces a stronger electrical charge in the pixels, yielding higher sensitivity. The honeycomb structure is significant in that the spaces between the photodiodes are smaller than with other technologies. With less space between the sensors, there is improved resolution, and hence better image representation. That is why we see a doubling up of actual pixels to "effective pixels" in the marketing spec sheets. Effective pixels are representative of a standard CCD sensor with about twice as many actual pixels for the most part.... [Gizmodo]
