Photojunkie Mailbag : Lighting in difficult situations

Deliverability has become a big issue for many e-mail senders. It even spawned this column.

It's like the new Napster meets Netflix. You can also PPV more recent movies that have just left the first-run houses and stream the Starz network to your desktop.

The Princeton Laptop Orchestra, founded last fall, can, with "15 first-year students on Macs connected to custom omnidirectional speakers" emulate a full-fledged orchestra. "Or an electronica band.

The earliest known appearance of the "smiley" emoticon, :-), was in an ad for this film in the New York Herald Tribune on 10 March 1953, page 20, columns 4-6.
