Steve also played with Zeni Geva as Superunit:

They had this feature (sort of). I don't remember if you could recommend movies to others, but you could have friends and see each other's viewing history.

You could run it all inside a virtual machine.

I remember buying Comanche again years after it was released. But it was unplayable. The fuel depletion rate was somehow proportional to CPU speed, so on my (relatively) faster computer, the helicopter would run out of gas just a couple minutes into the level.

This might be what you're thinking of:

I've been seeing this a lot online in the past few years and it has been driving me crazy. Has the a/an rule of writing been updated? I'm talking about examples like the one above, not stuff like "an historic."

An older, similar program is xfig.

If you're into portraits, the Olympus 75mm/1.8 is one of the best M4/3 lenses available.

Yes, people would buy them, but they do require very disciplined shooting. That kind of resolution is very unforgiving of even slight movement or mis-focus.

This article mentions a way to manually do it without the need for stabilizing hardware:

Right, which is why I think Olympus has had success with it. They primarily (maybe only?) make micro 4/3 bodies, so the resolution is still relatively low (some of their bodies are at 16MP, others 20). I don't photograph food, but I'd think that a stabilized m4/3 body would be very useful for that purpose if one wants to avoid bringing a tripod.

He wrote that before he wrote the article I linked to. Also, this article mentions some deficiencies of stabilization in certain circumstances but nowhere does it claim that it's useless.

The site has a page explaining how to get around it.

What would be useful on their site would be a comparison showing the same image shot with an unmodified sensor and then again with their filter-less sensor. If no one can tell the difference, is it worth it?

Another option is to use a body that offers stabilization. Olympus has gotten their stabilization good enough that you can shoot handheld at pretty slow shutter speeds:
