Waterlogged Camera Turns Magic. An amateur photographer accidentally bumps his digi-camera into the drink, tries desperately to dry it out, and is delighted by the surreal results. So are some galleries exhibiting his new work. My Michelle Delio. [Wired News] ( I love this! There are people who would pay considerable dough for pictures like that)

CNet: High Profile Anti-Unix site runs itself on Unix (some people are really dumb)
7:03:33 PM    

Having spent quite a bit of time on a C# .NET test project website, and building it in the MS prescribed methodology of using datareaders for speed, as illustrated in Petshop and IBuySpy, I can tell you that chances are high that the more tradional OO implementation of this pattern, as illustrated on Sun's site, has the upper hand. You may already know that prior to VS.NEt's release some guys at MS had built their equivalent of Petshop. Gleefully the Marketing Dept noted that the MS version required a lot less code. Well I'm here to tell you that I just finished writing yet another DAL method and hooking that DAL object into a specific aspx page. If this were more tradional I would create a business object which instantiates the DAL. The so called "light-weight" OO methodology shown by MS really walks a very very fine line. I'm realizing more and more that there are many advantages to go the other way. Its almost as though MS wants to strip you of the notion of designing verbose middle tier objects. Yet from everything I've seen, the basic ASP.NET architecture along with C# makes building a more verbose model easier than ever. Especially when you look at caching some of the data or objects themselves. There isn't the same penalty associated with storing something more than a simply strings in Session or Application vars.
