This 'Lightfield vectors' article is big news. 

Cameras will drop their aperture mode as camera apertures become fixed.
This will allow people to take some pictures in darker environments.

The ability to refocus the picture afterwards holds massive potential for macro and security photography.

I like the way you can make the image look 3D too.

It will push sensors well over the 20M range as a end result 'photo pixel' is computed over 100+ sensor pixels.

Potentially we're seeing all existing digital camera technology being made obsolete within 5 years.

Isn't that what we used to call a "hologram"?

This is a technology that Charlie has been begging for! All of his photos seem to rely on the technique of being focused after the fact!

Methane has no smell. The smell that one detects when a stove burner is left on, for example is that of methanethiol (aka methyl mercaptan).
