Nokia Corners the Market on Megapixels

BREAKING NEWS!

WORLD RUNNING OUT OF MEGAPIXELS!

NOKIA BUYS WORLD SUPPLY!!!

Ok, actually, they just released a phone (phone!!) with a 41MP sensor.

Yes, that's 41 mega pixels.

All your megapixels are belong to Nokia

The true heir to the previous best-camera-phone-on-the-market Nokia N8, this new Nokia N808 is sporting Symbian Belle as an OS (a decent but a little dated OS), a bit of a chunky exterior, an ok screen and 2nd tier but still decent internals.

But the real story of course is the camera. Seriously Nokia, wow, 41MP???? What the hell do you do with that? Already with my 12MP dSLR the only real benefit over my old 6MP dSLR is that you can crop the hell out of the image without loosing resolution. With 41MP, I am not sure what you do, crop a postage stamp picture out of a poster size print?

Regardless, I am damn impressed.

There are a lot of shitty drivers out there. Actually, most people are shitty drivers. They don't really know anything about cars, about driving, about limits of adhesion, how to react when things go badly, or what snow does to your ability to drive. In fact, most people think that driving slowly, regardless of what lane you are in, whether you are merging onto a highway or holding up 50 cars behind you, means "being a good driver." Just because you have spent many years driving in the left lane at 65mph does not make you a good driver, in fact, just the opposite. A good driver means you know how to drive, not that you have gotten lucky or simply average for the past 10 years. Personally, I would love to see a class in high school devoted to driving. I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals

Turns out most people don't think looking green is worth the sacrifice of owning a shitty, expensive car. Only 1/3rd of hybrid owners buy another one. Please, no more, I can't take it anymore Good news for the electric revolution? Not really. As I have been saying for years - the Prius has absolutely no logical economic value. There are other cars which are cheaper, better, and with similar fuel economy, or at least with good enough fuel economy that the price premium for the prius makes no damn sense. And the numbers show that: hybrid loyalty has fluctuated very little over the last 6 years, while gas prices have moved all over the place. In other words - buying a hybrid has nothing to do with logic. Shocking.
