Photo-Frame Insanity

I recently picked up a 'Samsung 107H' 10" (26cm) digital photo frame. Its features are very limited, yet I count myself beyond pleased with how it performs. 4/5, excellent value.

At-a-glance: $100-$150 USD; JPEG-only and no fancy types of JPEG either. Works well horizontally or vertically, GREAT picture quality, reads most USB memory and most SD memory. Can be used as a second computer screen, using special USB video technology.

Well, that was a dirty game

So the Vikings/Saints game ended, and the only clear winner is the ref's paycheck. Every call went to the Saints, including a miscalled touchdown. Favre was fouled at every opportunity, guys putting out an elbow (after he'd already thrown) on at least six plays.

True, the Vikings did not challenge the bad touchdown. And they did not try for an easy field goal. The whole game just feels rigged, dirty. Lots of great players and lots of great stats, but I will not be watching the Super Bowl after this. The Colts had best crush the Saints, or football is dead to me.

This were initially placed, by me, in a comment thread elsewhere on My.Opera:

Better news on the Intel matter:

At-a-glance, the big thing is that Intel has lost more than $3bn US in court fees and fines in the year 2009, and stands to lose much more in compensatory damages over the next several years. The INTEL COMPILER has been found to be a defamatory and fraudulent program, specially 'cooked' to sabotage hardware manufactured by competitors.

To this end, the additional solution being sought by regulators would be for Intel to COMPENSATE DEVELOPERS for the recompilation and re-release of software previously published using the "DEFECTIVE Compiler". These are some of the strongest and most enraged words committed to paper by any regulatory commission in the last century.
