Canon have made a series of videos on how they make their lenses showcasing a "virtual lens plant" from start to finish which is well worth a watch. I guess this is why lenses are so damn expensive.
The_Dan spotted this article about an online backlash against CBS who recently canceled the series "Jericho". Fans have sent a total of $26,000 for a pooled campaign hosted at Nuts Online to ship over 19,000 pounds of peanuts to CBS.

In its reports, the FCC will need to indicate how many lines in each district support this higher speed—a speed that will, inevitably, be referred to as "Broadband 2.0.".
