DANG...i wanna go to ireland :wub:

what happened to kitty's leg? :(

Heh, I hate this place and want to leave. It is a nice looking place but there's about 20 days a year that you can go to see it without getting soaked. Donegal (the north west) would be a nice place to visit I suppose but living in (or near, as I do) isn't so great.

We don't really know what happened to Kitty's leg (that's her name, imaginative I kow). One night she came in with it hanging on by some skin so we rushed her to the vet where the wound was stitched up, but the leg couldn't be reattached. She was fine a week later and I doubt she'd know what to do with a 4th leg now. You wouldn't believe how good she still is at climbing, although she hasn't been as adventurous since the accident.

its too bad dragging him out of his car thru the window and beating him senseless wouldn't solve anything eh?

btw..i've been thinking about this for a while... this thread has evolved since the first few pages into a general interest digital camera specs/questions/pictures thread. could the thread use a name change?

Oh trust me. I wanted to. Giving him the finger had little effect either...

As for the thread title, no problemo. Do you have any suggestions? I am sure I can come up with something otherwise.

lol no i dont actually. i mean, it doesn't need to be changed, just something i was thinking about. the other thing i thought of is that people may recognize the thread now for what it is by the title..if we change it, it could be misplaced or forgotten by people who have been following it?

i dunno.. lol sorry i've just been thinking out loud these last 2 posts

"Neowin Digital Photo Gallery Thread" or something like that seems appropriate.

monthly editions can't hurt either. this thread does get kinda long.

hey, theres an idea! like a monthly desktop kind of thing, except to showcase nifty photos or whatnot. this thread has been somewhat popular?

It is popular. I watch all the posts regularelly but I dont have a Digicam to post sum pics!

lol no i dont actually. i mean, it doesn't need to be changed, just something i was thinking about......

lol ok ...errr sure? Alright... I'll leave it for now then until I can think of an appropriate name. Kaneda's suggestion ain't half bad.

Impulfusion: Yes. They are very fast. They are designed especially for high speed chases. :cool:

yeah -- that black commodore ss a few pages back looked a beauty of a car, especially with the revamped front end. i love cars that blend aggressive style with intuitive design. hey Keldyn, think you could grab one from the nearest darkened alley and put it on a canada-bound boat for me? i'll make it worth your while. :D

at any rate, i'm getting my digicam in like 10 days, so i'll have pics to post in this thread or future threads like it soon enough...

Some pics of flowers in my garden (summer 2003) with my digicam.

I used an Olympus Camedia digital camera C-4040ZOOM

Wish they sold more Australian muscle cars over here like the Holdens... or I wish they were a little more affordable.

Cool that you guys drive on the same side of the road as us :D

Here are some pictures I have taken with my Olympus (4 megapixel) D-40 which has been replaced (I think) by the 5.0 megapixel C-50.

I like it so far but I find myself wanting to control more factors such as aperture to take time lapse images and I want to be able to use a polarizing filter. Someday I want to buy a Canon EOS.

Kitty's a cool name for a kitty - we had a Miss Kitty, one of my cousins has a Kitty Boy, and several friends have a Kitty in their families. Cats adapt really well to the loss of a leg...they can still run and jump and play like the guys with 4 legs. I'm always amazed at what they can do.

It seems like the place you live is never quite as cool as the place in the picture. I think that's funny for some reason..

Give Kitty a kiss for me and keep the pictures coming!

As for the thread title, no problemo. Do you have any suggestions? I am sure I can come up with something otherwise.

"Keldyn buys a digital camera" is fine. It's what started this thread and it's easy to remember..."whatshisface buys a digital camera"...works for me!

Give Kitty a kiss for me and keep the pictures coming!

More pictures? Oh well, if you insist :D

This is my other cat, called Katie. She's the daughter of the 3 legged one and is similarly unimpressed by digital cameras. She looks sort of angry and maybe a bit high here but I think she was just abit annoyed at this idiot pointing handheld devices at her. I had another one, a large black tom called Peewee but he disappeared :(

    • So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
