Quick. Anyone thinking of getting a 400+ camera head over to techbargains.com and get the Dell stackable $45 code. That with the 10% discount and free shipping for, the S400 comes out to $408. Deal ends today. Will order mine tomorrow hopefully as I already talked to a CSR and the guy gave me to tomorrow to decide :)

One downside though :( If you plan on buying the S400, be prepared for the month wait. 30+ days supposdely for the camera to arrive due to backorder. I'm willing to wait for that price.

Well I have had very nice sucesses with the FujiFilm FinPix 2600 Zoom. I am looking to get a higher end camera, such as the Nikon CoolPix 5700 with 256 CF Card, and extra batteries. Check my site for Fuji Pics.

Maybe. Are these cameras diff from the regular film cameras in that they don't have all the thingies you need to turn? I tried one of those once...it was a horrible experience but it turned out it wasn't broken that bad. My mom has a nice 35mm and she gets pretty good pix off it. She'd prefer that I don't use it. My pix are always fuzzy or I move the camera when I click it.

I'll stick to looking at the great pix here. You guys did a wonderful job on all of them!!!

Keldyn, can we have a "pretty pictures that we took with our cameras" forum or sub forum? It would be a common place to go to look at what people here can do....

    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
    • It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
