My New Phone Has A Camera

[charloween]

See? I can take pictures on my phone! There's even a little button on the side that's like a shortcut to the picture-taking menu! I'm sure the novelty will fade in a week or so, but until then I'm having lots of fun.

This is true-- lighting helps. But the resolution size of the picture! I'm thinking of grainy little 150x150 pixel pictures that the Parents' phones take. That? Is all big and pretty!

YAY for sexxy phone.

And it's 'cause gadgets are awesome. Speaking of-- I was looking for an external hard drive the other day (since my computer is kinda tired of running on 1 gig of free space) and ran across a drive that was 2 terabytes. Craziness.

Fair point. I think I can actually get a better resolution... *pokes phone* Er, or something.

(CBC has this science fiction (http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/program/index.jsp?program=Canadia) radio drama and it's great. They use Star Trek sound effects. The first officer challenges that there's no way their ship could have caught up to the rest of the fleet 'cause if they're all traveling at light speed, none of them can travel faster than that speed. She asks the captain how that could be possible, and the computer pipes up with, "Ingenuity?" *snerk*)

I got a 500GB external drive last weekend. I was thinking about terabyte drives, but at the rate technology prices drop, the terabyte drive might be like $100 by next year.

I had my eye on a 320 gig drive made by SimpleTech that's currently at $99 USD. I don't know a whole lot about the various brands that I've seen, so I've been poking around online to find reviews. What did you end up going for?

I ended up buying a Western Digital 500gb internal drive from Best Buy ($98, even though it scanned at $169; I pointed out you can't have a bucket of drives marked at one price and not have them scan properly...) and then grabbing an enclosure (SafeStore?) from one of those tech liquidators. DIY magic. The only complicated part is having to go into the drive manager and partitioning the drive and assigning a drive letter. And that's only complicated if you forget how to do it. *pats drive*
