I am so looking forward to progress in this area, and expect it to be huge in desktop editing and in-camera processing, w/r/t both actual edits, and tonal adjustment. I know much more about the Adobe Raw Engine that I'd ever want to, slowly and painfully acquired via editing 200K+ images - but I know that the proper software will be able to select starting presets for me based on the image characteristics.
I've long wondered how to address this "different itch" problem. People in a position to contribute code don't have the same itches or desires as those who don't, vs a DBMS, IDE, wiki, http server, etc.
Thank you. Fast, cheap, good, pick two, today, tomorrow, and the next. While the definitions of the three terms will change over time, Apple has not slain the project triangle, but they continue to push the "good" part.

Probably not. But if you work as a contractor for somebody with non-sensical requirements, at least you have some research that you can link to to support your point.
"If you look at the previous generation of phones, things like Nokia phones, you had to have an adapter," he reasons. "If you want to connect headphones to professional equipment, you also need a professional adapter."
No, this was (for the most part) an anomaly. (Sony loved this crap.)
And the "adapter" you need for professional gear costs all of .25, unless you want to plug your headphones into BNC, then it's maybe 1$ in parts and 15 minutes at your bench.
Funny thing. My old sony-ericcson phone was the first that came with a hands-free that had a separate minijack above the mic, so you could use any headset with the (wired) handsfree (and it also had a standard "long" minijack for control+mic+output).
Sony made a couple of brilliant mp3 players with proper line out for a while - until Sony Music got upset about "piracy", and apparently the ensuing battle within Sony killed a lot of great products. Which turned out to be a net loss, as was obvious to anyone - it happened that Apple took the marked with the iPod, but it was obvious someone would).
Agreed. Workaround:
Click video for focus, either click again or press space to play. Use left/right arrow keys for 5s jumps, < and > to adjust speed. I use these commands about every 30 minutes.
