One of my pet hates is the "Celebrity" industry and especially when they pat themselves on the back with fingers down your throat awards ceremonies.

I have just seen the TIPA "Oscar" awards for best photographic gear and amongst the list of winners are;

	Epson V750 scanner
	HP B9180 printer
	Canon iPF5000 printer
	Fuji F30 camera
Full TIPA awards list

Hmmm.... all interesting stuff, but I wonder how they came up with the awards as none of the above products have been released yet. What do you think ? I personally think TIPA have shot themselves in the foot.
