A lot of marketing hype and loud noise, but if only a small part of TI's announcement of a new camera chip is true, that would be very interesting. In principle - at least that's how I read the announcement - it's a DSP specifically for photographic applications. TI is quite ahead in the field of DSPs and custom chips, so there might really be something to it. Let's see what remains of the promises when the first cameras with the part come out.
Here's what happens when the availability of "On Lisp" as a download is announced on Lemonodor. Apparently, not a single one of the commentators ever clicked the link or took a look at the site before commenting. This also happens with other postings on Lemonodor from time to time, but not as massively as with this posting.
It was clear to me that after Zeiss entered the market with the ZF lenses and Nikon with the D200, I considered switching to Nikon. And now Leica is also in the mix, announcing the Leica D 14-50 mm F2.8-F3.5 for the four-thirds system. This not only brings the newly announced Panasonic Digi-SLR into play (which is likely based on the Olympus E330), but also the entire Olympus system. So another possible choice when switching? Especially since there are quite usable adapters for Contax-Yashica for the Four-Thirds system, so that I can probably continue to use all Zeiss lenses - unlike with Canon. Interesting is then also the image stabilizer and - probably inherited from the Olympus system - the ultrasonic chip cleaner in the body.
Textpander - a very nice tool that automatically converts abbreviations into long texts. It works in all programs via the UI Scripting interface (so activate Assistive Devices in OS X Accessibility Preferences).
