    iPad 2 - Prediction

    there is an idea around the traps of the possibility that the iPad 2 might be kept around a little as a different pricepoint to the iPad 3. if the rumoured specs are true, then i guess that is possible. With the ipad 3 being a little more expensive than current 2 prices, and the 2 drop a little...

    Interesting Copyright case

    ok, so i just spent a *considerable* amount of time reading the entire ruling. and after reading (admittedly, not all of) the responses in this thread, some people are jumping to conclusions here. bottom line- there was prior knowledge of the photo. the infringing photo is a composite. There...

    Website critique

    i've tried it on firefox and chrome, on a laptop. this page- http://www.karlimages.co.uk/gallery/23861 (same with landscapes page etc) I can see the first 3 images, but can't seem to scroll without opening the lightbox. Nice shot of the Sydney Opera House, by the way ;-) Edit> Ahhhhh, i got...

    the portfolio doesn't scroll. i can see the first 3 images, and thats it. try as i might i cant work out how to get ot the others. some things that may be more personal taste- i would move the "clients" login tab. or have the actual login page look like the rest of your site. (you could also...

    No more sweeping statements from me then

    the 512k expansion memory pack that slid in under the Amiga 500 was slightly larger than todays 3.5" hard drives!!! (and yup, anyone how had it was just showing off) lol

    Photographing strangers

    i watched a video today about Jay Maisel. Street photography has never been my thing, but wow. Jay is amazing, and its hard not to be inspired. He has a way (as a New Yorker ;) ) of dealing with people that he gets 'busted' by. I guess its something that you jsut develop over time. Naturally...

    *Would this graphics card improve lightroom performance ?

    it hasn't yet been mentioned in this thread... i've heard it said many times recently by Matt Kloskowski and Adobe people, that the HDD speed has a big impact on LR speed. I also watched a video recently, i can't recall where right now, i think it was on the B&H YouTube channel, about making...

    Bag advice

    i wouldn't worry so much about what it looks like. Rip/pick the badges off, or gaffa tape over them if you are concerned. Your accent is gonna scream louder than any bag will ;) Never let it away from your body, and be aware of your surroundings (depending on where you are going), and you'll be...

    assitant

    I'm with what Darren (and James) said... but to be honest, I didn't have the b4lls to say it first. When i first read there was one reply, and i wonder if they even bother teaching grammar and spelling anymore. I'm not being narky, it makes all the difference. Remember if you are presenting...

    New version of Tokina 11-16 f2.8

    i'm in the same boat, Jacob! Its a good sign when there are none of a lens in the 2nd hand market, shows its great glass... not so helpful if you're the buyer though ;) will be watching this release very closely. Lets hope they do it right! (and not a repeat of the 17-50 VC)

No issues with any of them (a lens, 2 filters, and a screen for my blackberry after i dropped it :( ). some of the purchases were with Amazon themselves, other one was with a marketplace seller. All quick easy, and...
