Kodak abandoning film cameras
Well, you knew this was going to happen sooner or later: Except for disposable cameras, Kodak is going to stop selling traditional film cameras in Western Europe and North America. They're going to focus instead on digital cameras. They will keep making 35mm film, and they're going to continue selling reloadable film cameras in the rest of the world.

Empty Datagrid...
What to display if a Datagrid is empty ?
The question sounds obvious, nothing, but if your Datagrid has a fixed size, I think it's a bad idea to have a nice page with an empty space in the middle.
What are your favorite option?
- Display a fake grey or pale dtagrid to simulate a disabled datagrid ?
- Just a message to say that no data are present at the moment ?
- Something else ?
The first choice seems for me the one to go, but the difficulty come when you don't know the column details. -
