plasticbag : The new logo for the upcoming new series of Doctor Who - Right - a few things. Firstly, lens flare is not cool. It's just not. Secondly, it's all a bit Farscape. Thirdly, it's lame.

plasticbag : Hewlett-Packard are developing a "privacy protection system" for cameras - I wrote about something similar to this a while back.
