Was watching an "old" (1990s) documentary and they cut to a newsroom, editing studio for one interview. I know they still use them, but it's amazing to me how a simple smartphone can perform nearly all the functions of a remote camera van from decades ago.
There was a photo floating around on the Web a week or two ago (which I can't find).
The top panel was labeled something like "then," and it showed a big pile of hardware: A PC with a big bulky CRT monitor, a big shoulder-mounted video player, a tabletop phone. I can't remember if there was an 80s style boombox in that photo, or just an iPod. Either way, lots of hardware.
The bottom panel: Mostly empty. Just an iPhone.
I use an iPhone to shoot video for Internet Evolution. If it's not professional quality, it's because of the gorilla holding the iPhone (that would be me). The hardware itself is fine. It LOOKS unprofessional. Sometimes I think of making an empty sheet-metal-and-plastic box that will make the iPhone look more like what people expect with a professional camera.
Mitch, I think it was Hitchcock's ability to suggest rather than immerse that made him so great. It's a bit like the difference between a belly dancer and the more modern fully nude performers: when you almost see something it's much more exciting than if it's right there in your face.

The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.
