“VIA Nano-powered Shuttle XS29F” and other links…
engadget.com: “…perhaps most importantly, a maximum power consumption of just 50 watts for the entire system. That, as VIA helpfully explains in the video after the break, means the system can ditch all the usual fans and heatsinks and remain nearly silent during operation, not to mention let you save you a bit on your energy bills. Still no word on a price, sadly, but we’re hoping Shuttle will be a bit more talkative once Computex opens its doors.”

“Telephoto vs Wide Angle”
Don Gale: “Choosing a suitable subject for a photograph is never the problem. Interesting stuff is everywhere. The challenge is sometimes making the call as to which lens to use. …Neither resulting image is right or wrong. This creative choice is part of the artistic control we have as photographers. A good argument for always being prepared with a wide variety of lenses with you at all times.”
“Telephoto and Wide-angle Lenses”
digital Artform: “Within the limits of image resolution, you can simply crop a more telephoto image out of any other image. Philip Greenspun puts it well when he says, ‘If film and lenses were perfect… you would need only one lens!’”
