Has going Digital ruined Photography?

Posted on May 8th, 2008 by Keith in Photography

We are in a technologically advanced age where it seems that every new product that hits the market has to be smaller and more crammed with features than the previous version. In some cases the desire to create an iconic design (usually housed in sleek looking, smooth faced, casings…you know the type) seems to be at the expense of practicality and durability. This is especially the case with digital cameras and mobile phones. But, and it’s a big but, there must surely come a time when they are simply too small to be used effectively?

The clocks have sprung forward, the evenings are already starting to draw out, and hopefully the weather will soon be getting better…hopefully.

So now is a good time to shake off those winter blues, get out and about with your camera and kick-start your photography - and you don’t need to venture too far to find some really good photo opportunities.

Internet Browser Wars

Posted on April 24th, 2008 by Alex in WWW

Not everyone is aware that there is a browser war going on between Internet Explorer and its 3 main rivals, which are Mozillas Firefox, Opera and Apples Safari. A lot of Windows users are unaware that there are other browsers available to them that can offer safer browsing and a greater number of add-ons and user options.

Although Internet Explorer is still the most popular browser on the market it is getting strong competition from its nearest competitor Firefox. Figures released by W3schools show that Firefox is becoming more and more popular on the net: Read the rest of this entry »

A Theory on Hell

Posted on April 16th, 2008 by Adam in Made me laugh..

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term:

“Is Hell exothermic [gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Support your answer with a proof.”

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: Read the rest of this entry »

WEB 2.0 It’s Here and It’s Real

Posted on April 11th, 2008 by Alex in WWW

Web 2.0 is a term becoming frequently more common among web users. So what does it actually mean?

Web 2.0 is a term used to define the state of the World Wide Web today and how we as the user have progressed. Websites in the last 5 or 6 years have become more interactive, allowing the user to get more out of websites and even allowing them to own their own piece of the web. The explosion of sites such as Facebook, Bebo, MySpace and YouTube allow the public to control what they are seeing on the Internet. This explosion has to be taken very seriously. With the record breaking sale of Youtube to Google and the endless amount of stars MySpace has created has changed the way we interact with the Internet.

The Internet is arguably the most important medium ever created, with children turning their backs on television in favour of the net - were they have the control over what they see and can interact with it in totally new ways. Don’t be fooled in thinking that television is dead. Over the last year we have seen what it is capable of with TV-on-demand and intelligent TVs which records your favourite programmes regardless of whether you are viewing them or not. 

I believe new forms of television will emerge to counter Web2.0 but I don’t think its ever going to be a serious threat. If you really want to express yourself, voting for the new Joseph or some fat celebrity is never going to suffice, not when you have the ability to rant to the world.

If you believe Web 2.0 is just a clever marketing phrase coined to drive sales - stop there. It takes a few clicks to create a blog entry and allow me to voice my opinions to the world.
