I swear NoiseDesign said that bluetooth was too low-bandwidth to pump good music.
I may have, but I don't know the bandwidth available on bluetooth off the top of my head. It may also be using bluetooth 2.0 which has better bandwidth I believe.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
In the most recent fiscal year ended March 2005, Nikon said that film camera bodies accounted for 3 percent of the 180 billion yen ($1.5 billion) in sales at the company's camera and imaging division. That is down from 16 percent the previous year.
By contrast, sales of digital cameras have soared, the company said, jumping to 75 percent of total sales in the year ended March 2005, from 47 percent three years earlier. Scanners and other products account for the remainder of the division's sales.
Wow! I'm sad, but it's hard to argue the business merits of the decision.

I love my film camera, dammit! I love my digital cameras too, and as someone intending to buy another Polaroid camera, perhaps they're not talking about me.
I want to believe that the sales of digital cameras will plateau, and that film SLRs will always have a place.
But then you have this -- who the HELL needs thirty nine megapixels¹?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because I like them. They have a total spontaneity that other technologies can't match. They're made for snaps that go up on corkboards, or fridges--and honestly, the pictures seem to be more representative to me.
