A new technology called compressive sensing slims down data at the source - http://www.americanscientist.org/issues...
"When you take a photograph with a digital camera, the sensor behind the lens has just a few milliseconds to gather in a huge array of data. A 10-megapixel camera captures some 30 megabytes—one byte each for the red, green and blue channels in each of the 10 million pixels. Yet the image you download from the camera is often only about 3 megabytes. A compression algorithm based on the JPEG standard squeezes the file down to a tenth of its original size. This saving of storage space is welcome, but it provokes a question: Why go to the trouble of capturing 30 megabytes of data if you’re going to throw away 90 percent of it before anyone even sees the picture? Why not design the sensor to select and retain just the 3 megabytes that are worth keeping?" - David Vasileff
That's the first article I read. Cool stuff. - Todd Hoff

OMG, about time for me to figure out what that "other" stuff on my iPhone is all about. - Mustafa K. Isik
I'm not sure, I just saw a huge list of crash logs when I restored my old phone to my 3GS and assumed that was the "other" stuff - David Vasileff

"One note about the class website. The content will remain available for most of the summer, but towards the end of the summer it will be taken down and the materials will no longer be available. It would be a good idea to download all the materials you need now so that when the website is cleaned you're not left missing stuff. Once it's gone, it's gone." - David Vasileff
