  1. Perhaps Google is trying to eliminate the plug-in competition. It is also possible that Google is trying to maximizes profits by lowering the price and greatly increasing the volume. Other companies will lower their price, optimize their process, greatly increase sales and make more profits. This will create a lot of happy customers and profitable companies.

  2. Congrats to FVJ & The TWIP army at large… looking forward to another 300… also.. Post Haste IS all that and a bag of chips… used it off/on for many years!

  3. BTW – FroKnows portion rocked! Oh.. and he switched.. WE got him! He went Canon… 🙂 but it comes down to the work…not just the equipment!

  4. Congrats on the 300th episode. Thankyou guys for all the great tips and photography news over the years.
