Filmed entirely with the 5DII. Also, apparently the season finale of House was shot entirely on the 5D. When these cameras go from capturing 8 bit to 10 bit or higher video (they currently do 12 or 14 raw stills but no option exists that I know of to engage ‘raw’ video, at least on my T1i) all bets are off. RED captures in raw so you get that extra depth, though Canon’s digic chips do a pretty good job of cramming their sensor data into 8 bits intelligently (once you figure out where to set the white balance, anyway).

WHAT IS MEMRISTOR?
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
THIS IS MEMRISTORRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Memristors are amazing. They can work with CMOS (your regular computer chips) and different scales, i.e. they can mix 100nm memristors with 45nm CMOS structures (intend to shrink to 5nm memristors with 45nm CMOS, as they are so awesome CMOS doesn’t really need to change any further to accommodate their awesomeness-imbuing powers), they can tolerate up to 20% failure rate. It’s damned near magic they way they work -- swapping oxygen atoms back and forth between a layer of TiO2 and TiO by changing voltage slighty, changing it’s resistive properties. The change is about .3nm thickness to either layer, depending on which way the voltage goes. And it will be much more efficient than regular transistor based computronics, you should be able to pull ten resistors out of a given design and replace them with one memristor. And as they’ll be able to pair 5nm memristors with 45nm CMOS, that means those ten resistors will actually hold enough space to put about 90 memristors. Holy crap, amirite? That’s a factor of 900X. Shittin your pants yet? This next decade is going to blow your mind.

The Bavarian towns of Kissing and Petting have the same problem, as does the eastern German town of Pissing. But so far, there are no plans to name a beer after them.
There’s a little brouhaha over plans to brew a beer called Fucking Hell in Germany. However, they got the go ahead. The first bottles of Fucking Hell (which apparently means light ale brewed in the Austrian town of Fucking but who’s counting?) should be available this winter in Germany. Gotta import some of those!

toys compared to what is used for deep science, but fun and useful in their own way, often as an intermediate step before further processing or analysis, though they are gaining in capabilities. 20 or 30 years they’ll be offering a USB one for xmas for the kids.

Iunno about you, but I came.
edit: it seems like this may be a prank. edit #2: it’s not, I found it and more videos on blogs.adobe.com, so I can only assume they’re legit. CS5: When you see it, you’ll shit bricks.
