pralines ‘n cream

even as a kid, i have always loved eating ice cream.  here where i work, the catering either serves a local brand that comes in plastic cups but if you ask them “scooped”.. what they’ll give you is a baskin robbins ice cream.  my favorite is the pralines ‘n cream flavor- vanilla ice cream with buttery, caramel candy-coated pecan pieces and a caramel ribbon.  askar, the bangladeshi waiter from the mess hall knows that i am fond of it and the other day after dinner he told me that he has something for me.. it was a half gallon of the said ice cream!  i hurriedly went straight to my sleeping quarters and devoured it..

megapixels

i sold my 6 month old 7.2 mp cyber-shot to a co-worker so i can buy sony’s latest one, a 13.6 mp, pocket-able, point-and-shoot digicam.  i have read that there are cameras with higher megapixels in them like 14 or even 21, so does it mean that the higher the megapixel a camera has, the better resolution the results of the pictures will be?

a megapixel is defined as one million pixels, the term pixel is actually short for “picture element”- these are the small colored dots that make up the image on the screen (like the lcd screen of a camera).   

some say that the more pixels, the more detail the camera can capture but i have also read that with compact cameras with more pixels, the worse the images can be.  well i think it is not all dependent on how many megapixels a camera has,  for other specifications should also be considered.  well if the pictures turns out to be blurry even with a 13.6 mp digicam.. that surely wouldn’t make sense.
