Canon 1D [Pics]

Twitter is abuzz with the TT 'Canon 1D', reference to the new camera from Canon. The new  EOS 1D x comes with a host of features that most photographers will want. One of the most notable features in the camera is Wireless Lan Ethernet Connection with the WFT-E6A. What this essentially does it allow you to capture images and then start uploading right away. So this way if you are in a politically sensitive area you can take your shots and starts your uploading using a mobile hotspot. Maybe you get caught by the cops who ask you to delete your photos, you can delete it in front of them since you would have already stored a backup copy on your home PC. Signal strength will be a factor however. 

The DSLR will also come with multi-exposure capability, which means you can combine up to 9 images into 1 frame without the next of an external computer. The Cannon 1D X features a 35 mm sized sensor and is 18 mpx, giving it low noise and dynamic range. You can also record video for up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds. The camera also automatically starts a new video when it reaches 4 GB. The Canon 1D will cost $7,000 for just the body.

Rapture Bomb Internet Meme [Pics]

 Rapture Bomb or Rapture Bombing is an internet meme that started and spread because of  Harold Camping,  the pastor who predicted that the would would end on May 21. That date has long past and the elect are still with us. After that failure he went on to say that the world would end on Oct 21. Which is this Friday, on the internet the world ending in 2011 does not seem to be the accepted trend. 2012 seems to be the date people are most comfortable with.

On Twitter the hashtag to follow would be #rapturebomb or #rapturebombing. Here are pics from the meme that have been spreading that shows you what the world would look like without the elect. A spin-off would be the Rapture Dad who is sitting all alone without his kids. Check out these fantastic photos and images below.

We are the 99 percent Internet Meme [Pics]

This seems to have started on 23 Aug, 2011 a month before the 'Occupy Wall Street' protests started on 17 Sep, 2011. many of the people carrying slogans at the protests has this as their catch phrase. Many even asking people to link back to the Tumblr site that started it off. If you visit the 'We are the 99 percent' tumblr page, you will see that this 'Brought to you be the people who started the Occupy Wall Street protests'. That is a little background to this whole movement that seems to be gaining momentum on the internet.

The idea behind We are the 99% is very simple. You take a photo of yourself and with a handwritten message of how the financial situation is affecting you and post it to the tumblr site. The meaning itself seeks to draw attention to the fact that 99% of Americans are burdened with taxes while the 1% top rich get away with paying hardly anything.
