AssignmentZero have an interview with Chase Jarvis on microstock & crowdsourcing, and his ideas on how it affects the photographic industry as a whole.

In a world where most pro photographers seem to be accusing microstock photographers of being traitors, Chase’s attitude is refreshing.

From the article:

This industry is changing so much that you should never say never. There are people who once said, ‘Oh, I’ll never put my images in royalty-free,’ and now they are. Those people who were saying, ‘Never microstock!’ are going to eat their words in the near future.

I’m waiting for that tipping point and then I’ll probably step into the market.

This tutorial provides step by step instructions to adding an external antenna to the ebay remote (v1 I believe, hopefully the v2 version is similar enough). Apparently increasing the line of site by an order of magnitude, this is definitely a simple modification that is well worth the effort.
