Fast Flip is a new reading experience that combines the best elements of print and online articles. Like a print magazine, Fast Flip lets you browse sequentially through bundles of recent news, headlines and popular topics, as well as feeds from individual top publishers. As the name suggests, flipping through content is very fast, so you can quickly look through a lot of pages until you find something interesting. At the same time, we provide aggregation and search over many top newspapers and magazines, and the ability to share content with your friends and community. Fast Flip also personalizes the experience for you, by taking cues from selections you make to show you more content from sources, topics and journalists that you seem to like. In short, you get fast browsing, natural magazine-style navigation, recommendations from friends and other members of the community and a selection of content that is serendipitous and personalized.

Bottom line: normally I wouldn’t be so jazzed about an application update, but as someone who’s spent the better part of the last two years working on web video production, this struck me and other web video grunts in the room as “workflow-changing” (some said “life-changing!”) and a nice big leap forward.

Why Moore’s Law does not apply to Digital Photography:

So why do I say that we are near the limit?  The diffraction limit of our lenses is larger than the pixel size on some sensors.  This means that the resolution of some current cameras is limited by the diffraction limit of the lens rather than the pixel size on the chip.  This means that cramming more, smaller pixels on the chip will not result in a higher resolution image when you make a print.
