Tim I made this topic to only really discuss if Apple is anti-competitive or not, that you want to correct me in anything I write is your fault.
I've no idea what the browser wars has to do with this for example?

To summarize this thread a bit and get it on track again.
- Apple is acting out of the believe that it's for the best and for the protection of their product/devices by not allowing apps make by cross-compilers any more on their devices.
- From the other side you hear that Apple's new policy is anti-competitive because it only leaves room to use Apple's native product to develop Apps for Apple devices.

Did got the core here?

Found something that put it together nicely what Apple is doing.

The older lens is from 2008 around the time when Pentax launched the K20D & K200D so Pentax didn't had a camera on the market that didn't support SDM.

Will there also be a new version of the 150-500?

Yes you're right
It's so easy to overlook the thread title

Have fun with your new camera, it's the photos that count right

Any reasons to go with the 50D instead of what many say to be the better 40D?

@bladerunneruk I got it wrong you can use the Westcot on everything as long as it fits inside and it has an umbrella holder.
There are different types btw. here watch this link

@James do you need to use an adapter with yours?

The Westcott 28" is €159 so £136.
They also had Creative Lighting softbox and that one was €189 (£162) and you need a special holder for that and that cost €139 (£119) so that wasn't interesting any more

This the kind of light it gives and it's recessed so there is less "spill" better to aim so to say.

Hello Rodrige.

Adobe has included software to created Apps for the iPhone and other i-products in their CS5 software package and all of a sudden just before the release of CS5 Apple chance their policy and therefore Apps not made by Adobes program aren't accepted anymore by Apple.
That's the main reason I believe why Adobe isn't so happy but they aren't the only one that are throw out of the game.

Still Adobe has brought out the program so you can make Apps with CS5 if you want and simply used a jail-braked iPhone.

Oops forgot all about it.

Like you said it's a bit hard to adjust the flash when using the softbox, since you're shooting to the back of it the easiest way is to make a corner of the white-screen lose, it's simply hold together with velcro and easy to secure it back.
Adjusting the flash takes me 3 seconds.

The light coming out from it does seems to be pretty good.
I'll make a photo from it to look how even the light is tonight, I've a birthday very soon so don't have the timenow.

The Westcott Apollo softbox I've use an umbrella stand and is only therfor only usable with a that so no studio flash.
But to be honest when looking at the cost of the creative lighting system, the softbox was more expensive then the westcott and I needed to buy a special bracket as well.
So the cheapest option would be to buy a Westcott and separate softbox for your studio light.

Unlocker said that Apple know their hardware the best but most of it is made by third party and are used in other devices as well.
The Apple A4 has an ARMv7-A architecture which is very common and the processor is actually make by Samsung.
So all in all the hardware Apple use is nothing out of the ordinary.

these are the devices that use the same ARMv7-A architecture
Texas Instruments OMAP3xxx series, SBM7000, Oregon State University OSWALD, Gumstix Overo Earth, Pandora, Apple iPod touch (3rd Generation), Apple A4 in iPad, Archos 5, FreeScale i.MX51-SOC, BeagleBoard, Apple iPhone 3GS, Motorola Droid, Palm Pre, Rockchip RK2806 and RK2808, Samsung i8910, Sony Ericsson Satio, Touch Book, Nokia N900, Meizu M9, ZiiLABS ZMS-08 system on a chip.

Because it's anti-competitive not to let other players on the market and therefor against article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the United States antitrust law.

I knew, Microsoft first try to buy over Netscape but they didn't give in and microsfot got mad and make IE and offer it for free just to boycot Netscape. But well it was competetive and as a consumer you can't get it better then for free right, don't you want to have an iPhone or another phone for free?
With the comment I was actually talking about today though, IE, Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, Safari, ect.
If you read my comment I wrote is and not was

Tim I was talking how EA makes one game with one type of software and using one kind of engine and make it playable for multiple consoles and that Apple has close such option for Making Apps for multiple platforms.
You now need to specially make something for the the iPhone were it used to be able to make one application and adapt that to make it work.
The question is can this been seen as anti-competitive behaviour?

I believe a month ago someone asked if the Sigma/Tamron 70-300 or the pentax 55-300 was better and everyone commented that the Pentax one was better so I think it's a safe bet to go for the DA 55-300
