I normally avoid political posts, especially ones concerning the politics of another country. But I couldn’t resist this: Matt Damon, a man whom I hold in high regard, is worried about the “absurd” prospect of Sarah Palin becoming President of the United States. As Mr. Damon says, “I need to know if she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago. Because she’s gonna have the nuclear codes!”

This is amazing - researchers from the University of Washington have developed a technique to drastically enhance video clips using high-res photos taken of the same scene. The technique can be used for several image enhancements including; fixing exposure, bringing in lost details, enhancing colors and depth, removing camera shakes, adding image data or completely eliminating objects from a scene.
