Napster had legal and illegal uses too. It was shut down because the legal use was pretty small. Few people needed such a service to distribute marterial that wasn't protected. It was primarily and almost exclusively a tool for duplication of copywrited material. Bit torrent has many legal and...

I think the law is pretty clear, though I'm not a copywrite lawyer. Time shifting is fair use. Recording locally is fair use. However duplication is not fair use. This is crystal clear in use case but not crystal clear from a technical perspective. Think of the reason and the means justifies the...

Goodspike, type-C (3.1 more specifically) can send 20 volts, 5 amps, 100 wants of power! That means faster charging when all you care about is charging too.

I'm still a believer that a phablet is too large. I prefer the 16:9 5.0" diagonal phone size. I hope they release a smaller version of this phone though the 801 isn't going to be up to par much longer...

If the GM1 comes down in price to the PL5's level, people would probably prefer the more compact Panasonic. The older models (PL3 and GF5) had the 12mp sensor so I guess they're out. Still, for a long time you could get m43rds cameras for around $200 for the body that were a generation behind...

I don't see the point of recommending the G1x mark 2. You either want small size (RX100 triplets) or you are just looking for fixed lens quality. A better choice in the category would be the FZ1000. It's not as small as the G1x m2 but it's the same price and has a lot more features like 400mm...

I do think the touch screen and familiar Canon UI are big features here. The sensor is if not identical to Sony then amazingly close. I would also mention the built in ND filter which is useful for playing around with bokeh in daylight, what little you can get from a 1" sensor anyway. Another...

"The Q-S1 also has a max aperture of f/8, which can make it difficult to control depth of field. This is more restrictive than many cameras that have a max aperture of f/20 or more for greater depth of field." 1) Max aperture is usually the smaller number (ex, f2.8), not the larger number...
