I’ve been following this company for quite a while now since they announced an LCD/eInk hybrid technology. They just announced a mass production of the said technology! There’s a working version of the tech here.

Too bad there’s no IPO…i would have bought THREE shares!!!

If you followed this guide on creating your Hackint0sh, you are probably greeted with a Kernel Panic once you update to 10.6.2.

This is because the SleepEnabler.kext–the driver that makes the Hackint0sh sleep upon inactivity–is not 10.6.2 compatible. You will need to delete the driver in order to boot properly:

• Boot using the Leopard DVD or the Leopard Hackint0sh USB if you still have it.
• Select the DVD/USB on boot prompt
• Instead of continuing with the installation (duh), open a Terminal from the Utilities menu.
• cd to /Volumes/{YourHackint0shVolume}/Extras/Extensions then delete the SleepEnabler.kext by issuing a “rm -r SleepEnabler.kext/”
• Reboot

There is an updated SleepEnabler but I haven’t tried it yet.  I will update this post once I have. Update: the 10.6.2-friendly SleepEnabler works!

It pains me to see that instead of creating a Micro 4/3rds camera, you came up with this tragedy.  You created a new “standard” that nobody else would adopt.  Why do you keep digging your own grave, Ricoh?

A lens with built-in shutter AND sensor?  What were you guys thinking?  I mean, most seasoned photographers find it a challenge to create the most optimal image with just ONE sensor, and you came up with this?  Not only that, the sensor are of varying technology among lenses they came with: the 50/2.5 macro has a CMOS APC sensor, then the zoom has a 1/1.7″ CCD.  Great, two different sensors, not only do I need to switch mindset due to the change in DOF, I need to switch mindset on the light-capturing capabilities.

Never mind the fact that the lens contraption will cost a LOT.

Ricoh, did you even ask yourselves who would be the target market for this Frankenstein before you green-lighted the production?
