In my defense, they looked perfectly fine on the 2-inch camera display, but once he loaded them onto his computer, I couldn't believe how pixelated and broken the full sized image actually was. He explained to me that print media required images at 300 dpi, and even though he could try to convert my snapshot to the required resolution, it would be impossible to blow up the image to the desired size that was required to fill the page.

If what Gizmodo reports here is accurate, then I can't help but to express how impress I am at the way mobile phone cameras have evolved. Apparently, there's a full page advertorial in the UK edition of FHM that was shot with the 8.1MP camera on the new Sony Ericsson C905 Cybershot mobile phone. Putting aside the obvious help the picture received (professional photographer, lighting setup, photoshop), it's still amazing that such a detailed picture was the product of a mobile phone camera!

Over the past few years, mobile and desktop computing has been plagued by a heavy dose of monochrome. Unmodded desktop casings weren't exactly the most exciting thing to look at, and notebook casings usually came in shades of IBM's OG black, Apple's minimalist white, or something else along the gray scale chart.

Whilst some brave souls have tried to instill a sense of color in a couple of their products, it's unfortunate that no one has been able to break the monochrome's iron grip.

If a dodgy message from a friend pops up in Facebook, chances are that it's a link to a nasty worm. Discovered by the FortiGuard Global Security Research Team, the worm itself doesn't reside in Facebook or any of it's applications. Using the old "click here" hoax, users who click through the links in the said dodgy message will be directed to a Google Reader page. Once there, Google Reader will ask you to download a "codec" in order to view the contents of the page - but surprise, surprise - the "codec" that you're downloading is in actual fact, a worm!

Thanks for the heads up Fortinet. Read on for the full press release.
