My wife's Canon Digital Elph S500 recently began to have some serious problems with purple bands, horrible white balance, and finally gibberish images. I was about to resign myself to buying a new camera, however I searched around online a bit and found this:
Canon Service Notice
It turns out there is an extended warranty for this problem! Hopefully there won't be any trouble getting this repair service done.
If your own Canon Elph begins to fail, don't forget about this service notice. It doesn't appear to have an expiration date.

I overheard this exchange between my brother-in-law and my 2 year old daughter during a recent family get-together:
<Everyone eating ice cream after dinner>
Uncle Russ: Claire, Do you scream for ice cream?
Claire: Yeah, like this! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

The following is an interesting TED talk by Jonathan Haidt about the differences between the moral values of liberals and conservatives. I think there are some problems with his presentation, but entertaining nonetheless.
