I have a couple of pro photography friends who lament the advent of consumer digital photography. The combination of photoshop and free shots means less people are making the effort to learn the art and science behind good photos.

Hmm I wonder if Google archives the old images?! It would shock and sadden me if they didn't given they will produce quite a fantastic scholarly record in 50->100 years time. And given the growth in storage tech the cost of storing the

To save anyone watching the video it is pretty much call in radio type fare. The Westboro representative doesn't really respond or acknowledge the hack on air.

I actually felt the pacing of the climax was a bit messy, probably due to the time dilation, but it felt like the higher levels had little relevance. I also found the snow scene to be the weakest part of the film, probably because it was co

So you agree with the concept of a non-compete agreement for all types of employees?

But isn't that the issue? The energy tends to come from the founders so how do you reliably transition away from the founders, whether it is without full company integration or not?

Do you have some examples of where that has worked in the medium - long term? (i.e longer than the 2-3 year mark most of these founders have bailed out at) I am guessing it can work but founders/entrepreneurs aren't necessarily the best man

Sure that would cover 1% of the reasons I have to fax. Normally I am dealing with someone like a real estate agent or a government department or something I have to have witnessed etc I can't do that.

Every time someone asks me to fax I have this same problem. Though it is normally a paper form someone has given me to fax, and without a scanner I would still be stuck.

That is sad, given our current prosperity it would be great if we could leverage it to bring super talented entrepreneurs here to start more great businesses.

I might be living in a socialist paradise (Australia) or some thing but my last visit to the doctor (broken toe) was free. I am truly horrified by the state of the US health system, sure Australia's might be a bit messed up at times but it

Note: This analysis is not a statement of agreement with their actions, just providing some insight. I am not surprised either but I don't think Sony can be compared with Streisand. From Sony's perspective this makes perfect sense and isn

It shouldn't be relevant but given the state of female involvement in many traditionally male fields it is always important to highlight women making a contribution. The idea is it will both change perceptions without and within the field a

Blogs are a whole different format from the SNSs, it is like comparing billboards and the NYT, they both use ink and paper but they convey information in different ways with a different focus. In other news "old media" continually misreport

I think it is just weak writing, the story seems to be about new technology and how we interact with it, which is fair TechCrunch fodder. However the opening sentences provide no hook and no solid message as to what the article is about. On

Silverlight already has some 3D support and the next flash beta will include a full programmable shader pipeline (using CG I think ). So there is some tough competition and with Flash reportedly having a ~97% of the web install base (bar i

Fair enough, I would advise going for the bare minimum of basic information and email address.

Gah I don't mind using Facebook Connect for sites but when they ask for everything and the kitchen sink in the permissions dialog I balk and drop out of the funnel. Why does neovella need access to my facebook chat? Sure there might be a le

Point taken, given I haven't read the book I assumed the book made the same conclusion that was being forwarded on this thread.

Not at all, I am contending that there are far more complex social dynamics going on beyond the simplistic ape view that others are espousing. The fact we evolved from apes so our social brains are rooted in that make up is significant, how

I guess I simplified it a little to far. "Making an effort" also involves continually examining your own behavior, testing if it is constructive and helping the situation. This sort of self examination is a very useful tool and can be appli

I love pop psychology books that tell me it is fine to be lazy and uncaring. /sarcasm We aren't talking about dating here, we are talking about long term relationships. The whole Red Queen thing breaks down when we add artificial human cons

Making an effort means thinking about your relationship, if that means thinking about it and deciding to put a problem aside for a better time, that is still making an effort.

What!? You can be thoughtful and accommodating without being a doormat which is what you appear to be alluding to. Breaking this down to an evolutionary biology standpoint, what advantage would that sort of psychology provide the woman? It

I would group it all into one tip: Make an effort with your relationship. Like everything good in life it takes work to have a good relationship. If you make an effort to have a good relationship, applying thought and energy day to day, y
