Yes, I'm disappointed by the name collision. Is there a tool that makes "real" superresolution photos easy? Is that built into photoshop as well under a different name?

Agree. Even the few pixels bordering the face in the sample image can show she's outside. She chose a smiling picture, she's wearing makeup, etc...

I only skimmed the paper, so I'm not claiming to know much about it, but one thing to keep in mind here is that a fair coin has a 50% accuracy using the same terminology as the headline. I'm not saying 72% is not an interesting achievement, its just that "you can do about 50% better than random chance" describes my gut feeling about how much you could actually see in someones face.

There's a lot of negativity here, and I think I understand where it's coming from. A lot of you sound like you do this sort of work for a living. I am getting into small electronic projects in my limited free time.
Things I care about: * Board fabrication AND final assembly * Quick turnaround time * Small minimum order size (preferably 1) * Help choosing components
Things I DON'T care about: * Getting the absolute cheapest price * Being locked into a vendor for a particular project * Tight tolerances on things like thermal management or AC signal integrity.
I just want to have a custom board for my PIC-based project, or my one-off guitar pedal circuit.
I haven't tried this service, but I will. If anyone knows of other similar services, I would love to hear about them as well.
