No laws broken (at the moment ) because the Facebook use you describe is not for "commercial gain".So, how can people post pictures all over facebook that have sveral other people in the picture without permission. Is this breaking some sort of law?

I thought graphics cards mainly benefit games and some 3d modeling apps, but apparently with Photoshop cs4 there are some 'GPU-accelerated features that require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0'. What this means exactly is a bit unclear to me but I'm sure some users here have more info on that. I'd say though that a cheap graphics card and a fast quad processor should be more than fast enough for photo editing.
Yes you're right but it's called OpenCL, OpenGL is something different. Using your video card for calculation is called General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU).I thought graphics cards mainly benefit games and some 3d modeling apps, but apparently with Photoshop cs4 there are some 'GPU-accelerated features that require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0'.

A video card has a processor that's great at crunching numbers but it needs to be giving that information in a special way, it's not as versatile as a CPU.
Basicly the CPU runs photoshop the program but if you apply a filter to your photo it will go through the video card.
Another form you see today is that the videocard can process certain kind of video codecs, that's basicly also a form of GPGPU.
Some of the cheaper computer with a decent videocard can therefore play 1080p videos.

It depends on the socket/core what amount of memory is best.
8GB is indeed over kill but 2gb is too low, the optimum is 4GB (2GBx2) for most sockets (dual channel) with the i7 920 for example that use 3 channels for memory and then 6GB (2GBx3) is better.
I'm also currently keeping my eyes out for a new pc, something like this.
i5 750
2x2GB RAM
ATI 5770
This will run very good but if you want something faster then.
i7 920
3x3GB RAM
ATI 5850 / 5770
Of course both with windows 7 64bit.
Also nVidia will bring out their new video cards soon so it might be wise to wait just a bit longer.
Also you want a decent video card because they can now be used to do calculations for you, and they are far more effective for photoshop then a processor.

It varies with me and it also depends what kind of shot it is.
It's of course quite logical that you can get a good shot with landscape photography with one photo but try to get a good shot with one photo when photographing a sport, it's a different challenge.
So basicly the a lot of photos with some good with fast moving subjects.
I get a decent hit rate with portrait and animals, with macro it's a bit more hard.
With a static object I've a good shot quite fast.

I believe they will get in troubles maintaining it because they must know for sure that the photos are under UK copyright.

Wonderful photo Kris, thank you for sharing

Why not used a bigger aperture?
The second photo is the best though.

When do we get the answer?
Now 54 have voted and 54% (2 have voted for the correct photo.
I actually have not got a clue.
It's good to see though that the 18 year old Pentax can keep it up with the quite new Carl Zeiss
