I was toying with the idea of buying Ken Rockwell’s D300 Guide on the iTunes App store, so I would have his recommended settings and other trivia easily at hand on my iPhone when out shooting.

Even though I have a D300S, the features are nearly identical and the few bucks the app costs would partly go towards keeping Ken writing about camera nerd stuff.

When I arrived in the iTunes App Store, I noticed something interesting.

See that down-arrow to the right of “Buy App” ?

Looks a lot like an OS X disclosure widget. Let’s see what it does…

Apple is apparently embracing the social media stuff.

I’ve stumbled across something news to me. For some reason, there were several remakes of “Married with Children” in various countries, with the most successful being the Chile and Russian ones at approx 260 episodes each.

This is about the number of episodes of the original series. (See here for how MwC compares to MASH etc for episode counts)

One wonders if the remakes used the same plot lines as the original for the majority or even entirety of their versions?

Researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany did an in-depth analysis of 200 healthy males over a period of five years. Half the volunteers were instructed to ogle at the breasts of women daily, while the rest were told to refrain from doing so.

At the close of the study, the researchers noted that the men who stared at the breasts of females on a regular basis exhibited lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and lesser episodes of coronary artery disease.

Then again… apparently this was not a real study but instead just an article from the Weekly World News circa 1997. Boo!
