I have thought all along the the selling point of megapixels on digital cameras was a marketing scheme now here's proof!!

"So long as you have 100 to 150 DPI (dots or pixels per inch), you have plenty for a sharp print viewed at arm's length. This means a 6 MP camera can make prints 30" (75cm) wide and still look great. When was the last time you printed that big? "


For instance, a 3 MP camera pretty much looks the same as a 6 MP camera, even when blown up to 12 x 18" (30x50cm)! I know because I've done this. Have you? NY Times tech writer David Pogue did this here and here and saw the same thing — nothing!

“The more megapixels a camera has, the better the pictures.”It’s a big fat lie. The camera companies and camera stores all know it, but they continue to exploit our misunderstanding. Advertisements declare a camera’s megapixel rating as though it’s a letter grade, implying that a 7-megapixel model is necessarily better than a 5-megapixel model. "

I got my latest Asp.Net Pro mag yesterday I noticed a review for IronSpeed Designer for Asp.net easy developement. I was surprised at how much they liked the product. Usually asp.net pro is not big on programs like this. I decided to google it and i found several other reviews that were raving about it. This could be a major time saver, auto generated code,stored procedures and web pages all in one shot sweet! I'll have to check it out and post back, I am excited about it. more time i save happier wife is :P
