I took a photo to make sure Wall-E has change for a nickel:
This thread kicks ass! Is there a way to view these photos via photobucket. I would love to show them to my 6yo, but would prefer to not introduce him to the forum

From
Mars
that's pretty cool
Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

and this one you can see the mardi camera:
All three of these images are actually several images taken at different focus settings and then merged on the camera computer to create a best focus image. So things from 30 cm to the ground are all in focus. No color enhancement or ground processing, this is the product from Mars.
Taken with our camera on the arm, mahli, these are the thumbnails. Full frames are arriving next few days.
Bummer the general public's excitement fads so fast because its still FKNA.
People should learn endurance; they should learn to endure the discomforts of heat and cold, hunger and thirst; they should learn to be patient when receiving abuse and scorn; for it is the practice of endurance that quenches the fire of worldly passions which is burning up their bodies.

Full size version, open image in new tab, click to zoom in. Looks best on 2 30" displays or more. Mosaic of 55 images. Note the scope sites:
Are the color chips on that calibration target bright colors on earth and are subdued because of Mars lighting, or are they supposed to look that way?
mind blowing shots here..
bump for the big news
Is the big news that we drove after sitting for so long?
Or the dust storm?

Yes, but also signed a non-disclosure. Not that they keep any big secrets, they just want to release exciting news in a controlled way.

UPDATE SET IN SAN FRANCISCO ABOUT CURIOSITY MARS ROVER
PASADENA, Calif. -- The next news conference about the NASA Mars rover Curiosity will be held at 9 a.m. Monday, Dec. 3, in San Francisco at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
Rumors and speculation that there are major new findings from the mission at this early stage are incorrect. The news conference will be an update about first use of the rover's full array of analytical instruments to investigate a drift of sandy soil. One class of substances Curiosity is checking for is organic compounds -- carbon-containing chemicals that can be ingredients for life. At this point in the mission, the instruments on the rover have not detected any definitive evidence of Martian organics.
