Seems that portable micro devices are getting integrated more and more each day into our everyday's life! That's the way to take the most advantage... Well, reading BetaNews when I got into BMW & iPod integration
Nice and cool integration! I wish I had a BMW ;-) Although it's not the most perfect and the best integration but defeinitely a great start for car manufacturers to consider these kinds of stuffs. It can open a vast amount of cool and crazy ideas.
Call me crazy but I would like to see Jini handled these things all without much trouble! When can we see the first JVMs in our cars, home electronical devices? And all communicating, discovering and knowing each other with no pain, no wiring or so? Ah, writing a few lines of java code to program my own car will be really interesting ;-) A little science fiction but we'll see them in real use pretty soon...

Photography has been my new love recently and a great hobby for me since I've got my Canon G3! As many of you there I'm also learning about the techniques both on digital concepts and pure photography, and really enjoy following the discussions. Bob Atkins has put a very good article on Photo.net about the common file formats the digital cameras support and how they differ.
Yes, RAW, JPG and TIFF are three of the main players these days on digital photography world, but you should know which one is suitable in any time. Nice responses from people, even you'll learn a lot more than what the article itself gives you :-)
Just wishing some day in near future we can see JPG2000 format support on the cameras which will be a huge improvement.

Just thought it may be interesting for you to see how java.sun.com site looked like in the old days of java, even when there was no such technology announced. I was surfing the net while I got into this page from Martin Hardee :-) It's amazing when you compare the first (March '95) and last (Dec '03) screenshots. Lots of changes but I'm not sure they couldn't get into this point little sooner!
