    Will Factory Restore eliminate any potential spyware on second-hand iPad?

    Dude, it's an iPad, not a five-year-old Windows box with an ejaculate-filled keyboard.

    VIDEO: A Day in the Life of NYC (in mini)

    To be pedantic, tilt and shift are separate movements with different effects. Generally, lenses that tilt also shift (but not the converse; many older lenses are shift-only). The miniature look is a function of tilt (and other things). (Of course, there's nothing prohibiting you from shifting...

    (Enthusiastic) DPR Review for Canon T2i (EOS 550D)

    Medium format DSLRs that cost more than your car are missing most of those features too. There's more to photography than bursting on a moving animal or athlete.

    $1000 Budget for first film. Need suggestions.

    The Canon T2i seems like it'll be the camera to get. Your lens choice will depend on your filmmaking style. Personally, I generally prefer a wider perspective than 50mm on a crop camera.

    No tip, no service?

    I left a $2.50 (33%) tip for lunch and $5 (~10%) for dinner. The dinner service was adequate, but very disruptive to my conversation. I was repeatedly asked if I was done eating while I still had food on my plate. Needless to say, I felt unwelcome at this restaurant; I won't be returning.

    No tip, no service?

    Good restaurants have good service. Once you pass a certain threshold, there's no way to improve; the waiters at good restaurants with $10 entrees act identically to waiters at restaurants with $30 entrees. <rant> Yesterday, I had much better service at the tiny Japanese noodle place where I...
