Re: Why do we yawn?

The best theory I've heard is that it's due to evolution from cave-men times before homo-sapiens had a language. The head of the tribe would open his mouth to signal it is time to retire, and so the rest of his peeps would answer by doing the same. This also explains why yawning is contagious.

Re: Facebook to Purchase Whatsapp?

Dammit, as long as they don't find the "loophole" Whatsapp keeps saying it's free for a limited time then I just uninstall and re-install and it's free again. I've never paid for it and I've been using it for years ???
Maybe I'm missing something. But I've never cared or given it thought.

Re: Christmas 2012

Came across this and brought back some Christmas memories. I don't think kids today appreciate things like this like we did back in the day.

Re: Christmas 2012

I don't really need convincing. Whatever's the cheapest and has the cheapest games. I've never had consoles and still not really interested. Kids can play their games, I'll just use it as a media center. :wink:

Re: Christmas 2012

The awesome thing about Christmas is that I get to buy the "kids" presents that we all enjoy. So far I'm thinking a PS3.

Re: Help choose a camera please?

Heya, no ways man. Thread hasn't been hijacked at all. I'm learning a lot to influence buying the right camera. Definitely getting the answers I want. Thanks everyone. Yep, rename the thread to something more general about camera faq or whatever. The only place I'm between is a prime lens and a zoom...

Re: Help choose a camera please?

I've learned a lot about lenses, thanks guys. Firstly, after looking around at second hand and new, it seems every good deal comes with a 18-55mm lens. Without the lens it's still pretty much the same price. So it looks like I'll get a kit with the stock lens and a 50mm prime lens separate. When I a...

Re: Help choose a camera please?

Ok, that's the explanation I wanted. Especially the image samples. I've been judging my choices by reading reviews and seeing actual photo's. The sharpness makes sense as the compact camera always blurs badly on zooming, as if it's digital zoom. That's what I don't want. I will take a look at some s...

Re: Help choose a camera please?

That's exactly how I'm thinking. I can get a Nikon D70 if I want, but I'm just trying to justify spending 3.5k on an entry level while for my purpose 1.5k will do the same (or not?). But thanks, will wait for some expertise :wink: What I'm mainly getting at is, I don't know why I need different lens...

General Photography and Camera Q&A

Ok, going on holiday with the family I need a camera. I would love to get into photography as a hobby because it'll fit in well with my work as a travel to exotic and weird places. But it's pretty expensive and I have my priorities. So anyway, that's want I want it for. A hobby to keep busy while aw...
