I won’t pretend to be a professional photographer, but I have taken a few good shots here and there. Growing up in the digital age, I never really dealt much with film cameras, except with my old point-and-shoot camera from when I was a kid. I know that I’m missing out, having never shot anything with Kodachrome film. Unfortunately it looks like I won’t have many opportunities in the future either.

Kodak has announced that they are ending production of their Kodachrome film. While many photographers swear by the colors produced by Kodachrome, it only amounts for around 1% of all still film sold by the company. It’s difficult to describe how it is different from other still films, but you’ll probably at least recognize this photo, which was taken with it. If you happen to stock up on this stuff, you’ll want to use it up and have it developed by next year sometime. Currently Dwayne’s Photo in Parsons Kansas is the last place that still processes it, and they will only continue to do so through 2010.

Depending on your choice of computing platform, possession of dedicated streaming hardware, and love of otherwise forgettable ’80s films, Netflix’s Watch Instantly service is either a godsend or a gimmick. Regardless, nobody likes arbitrary bandwidth caps, and that’s what Riyad Kalla at The “Break it Down” Blog claims to have spotted, finding that Watch streams on his Xbox take multiple minutes to buffer, but that those on his PC (using the same connection) can take hours — if they work at all. Doing a little snooping he found he was being capped to about 50 KB/sec per download thread on his PC, but if he spawned ten such threads he was able to get over 700 KB/sec. Something, it seems, is issuing a per-thread cap, but is it really Netflix? Or, rather, is it his Qwest DSL line doing a ham-fisted job of managing bandwidth? We’ve seen similar issues intermittently, but nothing consistent, so we’re not quite ready to call this an internet-wide conspiracy just yet, but would love to hear about your streaming experiences lately.

Update: Based on the volume of “It’s working just fine for me” comments both here and elsewhere it seems safe to say that if there is a conspiracy at work here, it’s not Netflix’s.

Adding even more credibility to the whole “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” mantra is this… masterpiece / abomination. Inspired by the iconic Aliens films, this completely over the top PlayStation 3 case mod is about as ridiculous as it gets. We’re not really told how the modder went about crafting this lovely interpretation, but we are given a few more snapshots to gawk at in the read link — which you won’t visit unless you too are an Aliens freak, but hey, that’s cool.

We know, we’re just being greedy at this point, but hey — did you honestly expect anything less? We knew Intel’s new Atom N280 processor, when paired with the equally fresh GN40 chipset, could deliver silky smooth 720p video playback. What we didn’t know, however, was how well it could handle 1080p material. According to Fudzilla, an Intel product manager has stated that the GN40 is “designed to do 1080p HD playback for typical broadband internet content,” but that it wasn’t engineered to “enable full Blu-ray capability where the bitrates and demands of multi-layer content are significantly higher than that of internet HD content.” The optimist within us is hoping that the GN40’s successor will take the next logical step and handle BD films, but we wouldn’t dare suggest you get your own hopes up that high if you’re not good with handling disappointment.
