The Camera Always Takes Off A Few Pounds

And 125,000 movies in one week?!

Disney chief executive Robert Iger announced that the iTunes Store has sold 125,000 movies in their first week since release, generating a cool $1,000,000. I know I'm surprised. Who knew that many iPod-toting Apple fanboys and girls hadn't seen Brother Bear?



In other, more disturbingly beautiful news,

37Signals wrote of a new feature offered in HP digital cameras that enables you to slim down the subject of your photos provided they are centered in the frame (pictures below). There’s a demo on the HP site so you can see just how well this feature works on an already damn-attractive woman. Just imagine what it can do for overweight friends and family members. Say goodbye to baby fat forever! Maybe we’ll start seeing some awesome emo-rexia self-portraits on MySpace, too. This is the cure to America’s obesity woes!

Seriously, though, women are not going to like this. Or maybe they’ll love it. I'm not sure, but either way, this is an unnecessary feature. Why not focus on making your cameras better rather than filling them with hundred of special shooting modes and effects filters? Your customers want to make “artsy” pics? Give them a free copy of Photoshop Elements.

What do you guys think? Everything you’ve always dreamed of? Evil incarnate?


As promised, here are the pics:






Pretty sweet, no?
