It's not just a lens. It's a whole camera module that connects to the phone through WiFi.

I was wondering if that were possible. I once had a Sidekick from Mobile-T that had a clip-on camera. I bought it because at the time I was working for the government and camera phones weren't allowed. I figured as long as I left the camera attachment home I was good to go, but security told me I couldn't have the phone because it was "camera ready." Damn. So's my butt if I wanted to attach a camera to it, but I'm not about to leave that home. Bureaucrats are such special people.

DC has announced that soon they will switch to an all-reboot every issue publication model. Each issue of all their comics will be number one in a one issue series. Every month, fans can thrill to Krypton's explosion that leads ultimately to young Kal-El's discovery in a Kansas cornfield by Jonathon and Martha Kent. Every 30 days, Batman aficionados will witness the tragic death of young Bruce Wayne's parents, and in every issue of Wonder Woman, Diana Prince will meet Steve Trevor for the first time ever. DC Reboot: Every Issue, Every Month. Coming to a comics store near you soon!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We've already gone through at least six reboots/massive continuity altering events since 1985. No more, PLEASE!

Or...

Maybe just one more that completely wipes everything out and everything starts over from scratch with absolutely nothing from the previous continuity remaining. So, until we are shown Superman's origin post this reboot we don't know it.

At this point it would be far less confusing that what we have now.

And now for something completely different...

What is the proper weight for a vinyl record? There has been talk of 200 gram and 180 gram vinyl LPs, but that could lead to problems (such as being too thick to properly press). Likewise with vinyl records that are too thin (such as 100 gram or less) which are too flimsy to be safely handled.

Unlike CDs, which have a specific way they must be pressed to meet the Red Book Standard, there doesn't seem to be as firm a standard when it comes to pressing vinyl records. There are many variables that have to be considered, such as how wide/deep the groove needs to be.

I laughed at the cat this morning. If you don't hear any more from me, notify the authorities.

Author Robin Hobbs must have a cat. She certainly knows them. Quote from "Fool's Errand":
Spoiler:

Make a lap. Near the fire.

The assertive little voice rang in my mind. I looked down at him and he looked up at me. For an instant, our gazes brushed, then we both looked aside in instinctive courtesy. ...

He rubbed his cheek against my leg. Hold the cat. You’ll feel better.

I don’t think so.

He rubbed against my leg insistently. Hold the cat.

I don’t want to hold the cat.

He reared up suddenly on his hind legs, and hooked his vicious little front claws into both flesh and leggings. Don’t talk back! Pick up the cat.

“Fennel, stop that! Where are your manners?” Jinna exclaimed in dismay. ...
[ Cat jumps onto his shoulder.] Hold the cat. You’ll feel better.

..... The moment I was settled, Fennel moved down to my lap and settled himself in a warm mound. I folded my hands atop him in a show of ignoring him. He gave me a slit-eyed cat grin. Be nice to me. She loves me best.


Hobb, Robin (2002-11-26). Fool's Errand: The Tawny Man Trilogy Book 1



And later when man stands up & cat slides to the floor:
Spoiler:

Imbecile. The cat was comfortable.

Hobb, Robin (2003-01-01). Golden Fool: The Tawny Man Trilogy Book 2


I can just *hear* a cat giving abrupt orders like that!
