Looking at redemptive parallels in Les Miserables musical and film
The film version of the musical will soon be released – and the story is so well known that we can start planning now. (Release date December 2012 N. America, January in Europe.)

Why do mobile phone cameras not have lens protection?
Can anyone explain why mobile phone manufacturers neglect to protect the phone camera lens in any meaningful way?
There are now two blindingly good contenders for best Android camera phone from HTC and Samsung, with camera quality and functionality we could have only dreamed of three years ago. But what is there to stop the lens getting dusty, smeared with finger prints, or scratched? Nothing that I can see.

Stop people leaving your website. Ingraphic and testing
Think about it. How many confusing websites do you leave in frustration? Apply the same outsider's eye to your own. Or, much better, test your site with web users of only modest web ability, who do not know your site. This is easy to do and will repay the time and effort a thousand times over.
