Comment Moderation

November 9th, 2008 | 10 Comments | Posted in Other News

Had to start =(
Sorry to some folks that have innocently been caught in comment moderation. There aren’t many, but a few of you have. I’ve started flagging certain things to stop a certain person from taking conversations to uncool places.

I will approve good comments as fast as possible. So far about 5% of comments have been triggered for moderation.

Thanks for your understanding.

5D Mark II Price Increase in Canada?

October 30th, 2008 | 50 Comments | Posted in Other News

From a reader

The reader was told there was a Canadian price increase coming on the
5D2.

This would mean all Canadian preorders would end up costing more.

I’ll try to find more info.

Site Outage
It was my fault, I was cleaning the web server up and deleted the most important folder on it… i.e. this site. I then proceeded to go to bed.

Some days you shouldn’t touch a computer.

Canon 1Di or something like it

October 24th, 2008 | 10 Comments | Posted in Other News

I received another email that Canon does have something like the APS-C
22fps camera in development. However, it may not be a camera that ever
reaches market.

Canon Rumors an adult site?

October 23rd, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Other News

Appears so
I’m getting reports by some folks that their companies are blocking this site because it’s a naughty site. It may have been the old flickr link with the “P” word in it.

I’m not sure if I can do anything about it, but I’ll see what’s up. The link is no longer on the site. There could be old posts with the word in it though. I will try to remove the word.

*UPDATE*
The word on the site has been removed. I guess you can tell your admins the site is clean.

Site Changes

October 15th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Other News

Getting ready for more stuff
I added a searchbox at the top right corner. It seems to search articles pretty well.

I moved the top ad banner down, I didn’t like the way it looked at the top and for other reasons. I hope you don’t find the smaller text ads annoying. I might tweak the colors a bit to make it less “BAM!”

There’s also space for a new text menu across the top that I will use for reviews and other things.

The logo is gone for a sec while I redesign a resize. I just thought the header before was taking up way too much screen space.

I made a post on the old Canon Rumors RSS feed about the feed address update, hopefully that helped a few of you. A complete oversight on my part.

Thanks for reading

Taking applications again

October 14th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Other News

We’ll try this again
I’m looking for someone to help with news posts here at CR. This is a volunteer position that I will make worth your while.

I want someone that can commit to contributing for at least 6 months. I’m pretty informal so it’s not a high pressure thing.

I took applications before, however a bunch of stuff happened out of my control and it got put to the backburner.

Contact me at buzz[at]canonrumors.com

ISO 25,000,000 anyone? Black Silicon

October 12th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Other News

Black Silicon
Any interesting new technology for low light applications.

“IT started with a Harvard physicist acting on a hunch. It ended up producing a new material, called black silicon, that could have a broad impact on technologies ranging from ultrasensitive sensors to photovoltaic cells.”
