John, While I understand your thoughts (and sarcasm), I would like to point out that quite some people use their cell phones to access a web site. I was checking the outage extent from my cell when we lost the power (happened 2-3 times in a row last year). Besides, depending on the extent

I never want the focus to change when I press the shutter release half way. What I do on the K10D, K20D, K3 & K1 is use the back AF button exclusively for focus with the shutter release only tripping the shutter. That may just be how the back AF button & AF.C work together, but I couldn't find

Actually knowing the culture of Facebook, it's more PC standards than US TV standards from 1950 though in some cases it's hard to tell the difference, in others it's not hard at all. I guess you could call it a bluenose convergence, but with homosexuality thrown in. On 10/6/2016 12:03 PM,

Sadly, not even Western standards. More like American network TV standards circa 1955. They claim to be sensitive to world wide cultures, so you'd expect a most strict interpretation, but they don't require women to be clad in burkas. There's lots about Facebook that's irrational. On Thu, Oct

I considered an iconic place in the L'Origine du monde sense but not wanting to be suspended for 30 days from the PDML, I reconsidered. And you're right about bingo halls being iconic. I am guilty of too narrow thinking yet again. But I thought of another interpretation so I believe I'm good now.
