From Slashdot:

"In the past week, four major camera makers have quietly published service advisories admitting their digital cameras are dying. In each case, the flaw appears to involve Sony CCD sensors using epoxy packaging that eventually lets in moisture. Sony's own cameras are among those affected, and the company also has dozens of affected camcorder models. Sony is believed to be picking up the tab for the repairs for the other camera makers as well, regardless of warranty status. (If true, a laudable approach.) Given the large numbers of cameras that are potentially involved, this can't be good news for Sony, who apparently already is expecting losses, and who has also recently announced major layoffs."

Link has a bunch more links so you can (hopefully) figure out if yours is one of the affected cameras. [link]

Turns out my T5 suddenly thinks the Razr is another PDA -- so I can transfer files, etc, but I can't use it as a modem anymore.

Does anyone have any idea where to start looking for a solution to this? I'd really like to delete the Razr from the Palm's device list, but googling that has been fruitless and frustrating.

TiVo-to-go files: Are they DRM'ed? Or can they be legally and reasonably easily dumped to DVD, edited, whatev? (for values of easily that include people less stubborn than me)

They are DRMed. TiVo has specced one DVD burning software to dump them. I went ahead and bought it -- I guess if you don't already have good software, it's as decent as any.

I feared as much. That will complicate things -- but, thanks for the info.

Don't they anticipate that people will mostly use TiVo-to-Go to watch stuff that's saved to their laptop's HD?

My primary usage is archival. I don't think I've watched anything I've transferred, but my laptop is a Mac.

That's certainly how they present it -- but since when do people use technology in the way that its makers originally envisioned it?

Last Tuesday.

I think.

Right now I'm using my mouse perfectly normally.

Then again, I am at work, after all, and there are rules.
