Think YOU need a bigger memory card for your camera?
Its digital camera will suck down 3.5 gigapixels of imagery every 17 seconds. "At that rate," says Michael Strauss, a Princeton astrophysicist, "the numbers get very big very fast."

I couldn't deal with a clone of myself. I would probably kill him inside a week, and tell the police it was justifiable homisuicide, and tell them to sit around and hang out with me for a week to show them why. ~ Dan

Re: Think YOU need a bigger memory card for your camera?
Our camera at work can only do 700 million pixels per second. Not sure how large it can do on a single pass.
I do know that we've had to upgrade a ton of infrastructure to handle our new mass of pixels. Maybe I'll get an upgraded computer to handle it better

You tired of the Commodore 64?
