iPhone 4S Camera: A Quick Look at What’s New [PICS]
One area in which the iPhone 4S has gotten a major update is its camera. All-new specs have led Apple to dub the upgraded snapper the “you-can’t-believe-it’s-on-a-phone-camera.” This improved camera, which has yet to be independently tested, could be big news. As Apple stated in its 4S presentation , the iPhone 4 is now the most popular camera for uploading pictures on Flickr with over 16,179,186 items uploaded. Apple is hoping the iPhone 4S will encourage even more people to leave their point-and-shoot cameras at home. While Apple has been a little vague on the exact technical changes (which we won’t know before a tear-down report), and real-life results have yet to be seen, the new specs appear to promise compact camera quality from a phone.

Pixar Typestry 1 and 2 were little-known but well-produced Windows applications that let enterprising users create 3D text on their home PCs. (By “3D,” I mean computer-generated objects that look like they have volume and dimension, not stereoscopic 3D) . The software was pretty easy to use, but rendering on a then state-of-the-art 486 DX/2 computer could take all night. The last time I met with a Pixar representative in, I think, 1994, she told me the software division was dying, but the company was cooking up something even more exciting: movies. I looked at her for a long while ...
