Oh well. My camera seems to do 1536 x 2048. Looks like they'll have to search around for another photo of an uncommon pear variety...

Comcast Puts Tollbooth on Net Video, Says Backbone Provider
Comcast strong-armed one of the nation’s biggest internet backbone providers, Level 3, into paying extra to deliver movies to Comcast customers, Level 3 announced Monday, describing it as a violation of open internet principles.
“Comcast is putting up a toll booth at the borders of its broadband Internet access network, enabling it to unilaterally decide how much to charge for content which competes with its own cable TV and Xfinity delivered content,” Level 3 chief legal officer Thomas Stortz said in a press release.
Level 3 is a major “backbone” provider which carries large amounts of traffic from ISP to ISP, and in some cases, from large corporate clients to ISPs. One of Level 3’s biggest clients is Netflix, which provides on-demand video services that have grown to an estimated 20 percent of net traffic during peak evening hours.

It sucks that ISPs that have a near monopoly on broadband access also have a conflict of interest. It's gonna hold the U.S. back in electronic infrastructure.

Any thoughts on lightweight voice control software. I'm not thinking true text-to-speach. Just something that can substitute for mouse clicks and and cursor typing. So I can say right-click, left-click, up-arrow, down-arrow, shift-this, alt-that. Keep my hand mostly on keyboard and not have to use mouse so much. I want low low memory and processor profile, so NOT Dragon Naturally Speaking. Does such a thing exist?

Sounds like you might or might not have it already available to you, especially if you have Office XP. Here's the relevant link: [link]

I got a weird message purporting to be from gmail - about "verifying" your gmail account.
This is fishing, right?

I'd say there's only a 99.999% chance it's phishing.
