Adobe Photoshop team demo of "Image Deblur" gets a shocked gasp and loud applause from the crowd

With good reason. It's AMAZING. The team has figured out a way to analyze the movement of the camera during the taking of a blurry image, then reconstruct what the photo would have looked like WITHOUT that motion.

I would expect Apple should add this ASAP. I lose so many photos in lower light situations due to camera shake. It's been a technique that has been circulating among researchers and hackers previously. More examples here:

Someone should combine this with the Lytro camera and you'd have a camera that would literally never take a blurry photo. Now that would be nothing short of revolution.

Tethered Thunderbolt Faster Than My Office DSL

I love my new Thunderbolt Android phone on Verizon's network. It's a battery hog, but I've managed to tease out almost a full day's usage with judicious battery management. 

The best thing, though, is Verizon's 4G LTE network, which kicks ass. I just moved into new office space in downtown SF, and we have AT&T's DSL here. We'll probably get a new provider soon, though, because the Internet speeds suck. 

As an experiment I'm tethering my Thunderbolt to my laptop today, and after a quick speed test it's clear that my tethered Thunderbolt kicks my office DSL's ass:

This is actually much better than average, maybe because it's Friday and the office is half empty. Usually I see 3.5MB down and 0.5MB up.

Clearly MUCH better. I'm running Skype, Flash games in a browser, and occasional video, and my Thunderbolt doesn't miss a beat. Now if only Verizon would keep data tethering free past the May 15 deadline, it would be perfect.

Why People Pirate Movies

It's all about the user experience. Why must the experience I *pay for* be so much worse than the experience I can get for free?

Testing the newest Posterous app for Android

Just a quick test on my Thunderbolt. Not all the crash issues have been fixed yet, but it seems to be a tiny bit better.

San Francisco Doing Everything It Can To Drive Zynga And Twitter Away

[The SF Board of Supervisors] can have all the taxes they want, but if there aren’t any companies there to pay them, it isn’t going to be very helpful.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors really needs to take a basic lesson in economics. I'm all in favor of balancing civic interest with corporate benefits, but SF needs to realize that business drives jobs and growth, and without the revenue businesses provide - both directly and indirectly - SF will be in very bad shape.

What if you had bought Apple stock instead of Apple products?

This is almost makes me sick to my stomach. I guess hindsight is 20-20.

What if I had bought Apple stock instead?

Currently, Apple's stock is at an all time high. A share today is worth over 40 times its value seven years ago. So, how much would you have today if you purchased stock instead of an Apple product? See for yourself in the table below.
