Why Instagram Images Will Take on a Sense of... →
We agree with the author that Facebook is clunky and confusing in terms of storing (instagram or any) photos; however, there are many options outside Flickr for alternative storage. Picasa/Google+, 500px, Zenfolio, your own website, to name a few.

One Burbn, One Scotch, One Beer
Thorough-good.
parislemon:
A few years ago, I got a frantic email one evening. It was from a young entrepreneur named Kevin Systrom. “Hey MG, I saw you signed up for Burbn…” is how it started. He was freaked out. Someone had told me about the service and the sign up wasn’t locked down. But Kevin did not want me to write about his fledgling idea just yet. We hopped on the phone. Of course I...

Sorta, but Google so often touts their Galaxy Nexuses [sp?] as a pure Android experience, without any carrier meddling. Only, it’s not “pure” anymore
If memory serves me right only the Nexus One was touted as a carrier-separate experience. I don’t find anything from Google about the Nexus S or the Galaxy Nexus advertising it as anything but “a phone from Google”. The...

iMessage & Siri: Choose your iPhone 4S Data Plan...
Those upgrading or buying a new iPhone 4S should re-consider the data plans they are buying and ultimately the carrier they choose or else possibly face some ugly overage charges. If you send many txts with iMessage or plan to use Siri, the new voice assistant, make sure your carrier’s data plan (Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint) has room for the data used by these apps in addition to your...

The Carrier Question →

Now that that iPhone 4S is out there, the biggest question seems to be: which carrier to go with in the U.S.?
AT&T gives you speed — they’re the only network currently supporting the 14.4 down that Apple mentioned on stage yesterday. But AT&T blows in big cities like San Francisco and New York. It’s hard to vote for speed when you can’t even get a...

5 Simple Things You Can Do to Make Your Web Images... →
Simple tips as described but do not forget these cornerstones of photo editing. One more advanced tip that I took away regarding B&W editing:
“Sometimes when I turn an image to black and white, I’ll play around with the luminosity of some of the colors,” she said. “Most of the skin tones that are in an image are going to be within that orange and yellow spectrum. So,...

Field Cam Makes iPad Camera Easier to Use
FieldCam gives your iPad all the functionality of a Victorian plate camera (only with worse photos) There aren’t many iPad photo-taking apps yet, although there are plenty for editing. This may be because the iPad 2 is so new. It may also be because the iPad’s camera is so awful, an embarrassment along the lines of putting a pair of drum brakes onto Alberto Contador’s race bike. One thing is...

Chilling account from the photographer of the crashed US fighter jet.
I pointed my camera and saw the jet in my lens. And then, poof, the plane started crashing — crashing and crashing. And I was shooting and shooting. Then, boom! And it was a few blocks away from the hotel.

Lightbox Photos, connect the Android camera with social networks – something existing apps haven’t achieved to the same extent. I’ve seen a demo of the app and it works very well. Instead of requiring a constant network connection to show photos backed up onto the Lightbox servers, the app will run in background to sync your photos so you can can use Lightbox Photos while offine, thus making...

Tunisia, Egypt, Miami: The Importance of Internet...
I’m sure I’m not the only who has thought: Could the Internet be shutdown in the US? The effect would be huge and by far much more global, as compared to other recent shutdowns including the one in Egypt. As this article from the Atlantic alludes, Verizon is taking one step closer to that possibility. The NAP of Americas is truly pivotal. Peering points also play an important...
