Jasgeo, exactly! MSMobiles has two photos at the top of this article. The first one being a cropped and enlarged version of the second. Why? It doesn't add any value to your reporting.
I know why, but come on... whats with you posting all the mug shots of people while they are in the middle of talking? None of your readers wants to look at a picture of someone w/ their mouth wide open. Over the past 2 days, I think I saw one photo where it actually captured the 2 presenters in a respectable manner (no mouths open, smiling, etc.) and I was actually impressed with that photo. I actually thought that it showed that you had some respect for the presenters. It isn't tough to time your photos so their mouths are not open... just wait for the Q&A session where the presenter is listening to the question, or when the audience is clapping as the presenter is introduced and walks onto the stage. It appears that you intentionally take/post the most unflattering photos.... just like a "dirty tabloid". Being a tabloid is nothing to be proud of, or a goal to strive for. But once again, that's just my $0.02 on the issue. |

I ensure you that it was not intentional - sometimes it is difficult to take photos of people in good posture... sorry |

| 240X240 devices are for some dumb general manager who are crazy about Blackberry success! We, ordinary people, want to use 320X240 devices with thousands of available apps! |

Maybe the intention with the enlarged pic was to show the large zit on the blokes' chin a little better
