It appears the best innovation in digital photography is: bigger screens? Huh.
Looks like that Japanese birth-rate problem affecting their brain-trust was in effect a while ago. Not that anything out of Detroit is worth mentioning. Heck, even Silicon Valley can only come up with "Web 2.0" drag-and-drop interfaces. Ah, we're going to Hell in a handbasket!
