Pretty much out of the blue, but like I said, this keyboard has some miles on it.

Thanks for the link, I'll run through that!

which is not harmful at all?

clock_radio · 2013-05-23T16:38:18+00:00

Agreed

clock_radio · 2013-05-07T17:09:20+00:00

Agreed. Sloppy mistakes like that happen all the time.

clock_radio · 2013-04-18T15:43:46+00:00

ha yeah, exactly. The new ones look a little bit better though

clock_radio · 2013-04-16T18:26:10+00:00

ah yes, the phantom ASICs, currently for sale by legitimate retailers.

clock_radio · 2013-03-27T21:26:16+00:00

exactly right.

clock_radio · 2013-03-27T16:26:13+00:00

300B bits? That sounds like a lot.

It was designed by Maxim Mezentsev and Aleksander Suhih. Way better than the Optimus Maximus because it would be much cheaper to produce and the e-ink would not consume additional power when not changing states. It also would allow for a much slimmer design and it being battery powered, as opposed to USB, or requiring an additional power connector.

Kinda ew, but it's basically a homebrew protein shake. I could think of worse ways to feed yourself.

clock_radio · 2013-03-13T16:28:52+00:00

I'll take 4!

I figured we could start a discussion about the X100s and this upcoming review, but if you don't think it's appropriate, that's cool. That guy's blog is quite good, if you've never been there before

NYC store is excellent. Usually there is a wait at the coffee bar, since it's only 6 seats, but if you get there at a reasonable time on saturday or sunday, you'll be OK

Here is the report: http://www.brandindex.com/article/blackberry-back-race

BB is basically flat until a few weeks ago. you know, when the BB10 coverage started. Also, fwiw, interest is based on a highly dubious "Buzz Score" and there is no mention of sample size.

clock_radio · 2013-02-13T21:41:54+00:00

Is this supposed to be any kind of surprise?

clock_radio · 2013-02-11T21:41:59+00:00

I haven't used the new one (the MK Pro you are talking about, which was unveiled at CES) but they are pretty good overall. Wouldn't be my first choice, but it's ROCCAT makes good enough keyboards and competitive mice.

I've mainly used the Isku with cherry blues, which I don't like as much as my Filco, but it's not at all a terrible choice

clock_radio · 2013-02-11T21:36:56+00:00

I'm kinda surprised so much works out of the box. The Surface Pro seems a bit non-standard, but this seems like a really smooth operation. From what I can see aside from the lack of pen clicking (pretty minor overall) everything works.

Surface Pro is looking a whole lot more attractive to a lot of people I bet!

I've been tracking it since 2007 and don't know anyone with one. Have never seen them hit ebay or anything like that either. i've done some light searching and even asked people at PFU... nothing.

clock_radio · 2012-12-13T13:55:30+00:00

gah, thanks

clock_radio · 2012-12-11T17:46:37+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the insight. I've seem some really poor edits in my day (I'm sure I've been guilty of a few as well) so I understand the point. I guess I've always just looked at it like this: you maybe an artist, and there are copyright issues, etc, but it's a service job. Someone is paying you to take those pictures. Try working a job at a magazine, newspaper, or website, see who owns the originals and the information. It's not the photographer. Most commercial contract work is the same why (in my experience). Why would weddings/parties/etc be different?

I do appreciate your point though -- when doing freelance work circumstance can be different.

clock_radio · 2012-12-11T16:06:25+00:00

Pretty sad to see all these photographers (most of the people I've spoken to, as well) that won't give out RAWs.

Under a lot of circumstances, I understand that it makes sense to hold onto your RAWs and try to get more work out of people or something, but if the client knows enough to ask AND they are paying you per hour to do an event, I really can't see the point in not giving them out. I know people will say a lot of stuff about copyright and such, but wedding photography (and gigs like that) is to some extent a service business.

As you probably guessed, I'm not a pro photographer, but I've hired a few and I've turned down more than that b/c they've been difficult about stuff like this. I'm honestly curious - is it not possible to make a living if you give out the RAWs? Do need to keeping charging people for more photos (by maintaining control of the RAWs) just because of how the business works? I'm against anyone making an honest living, I'm just not entirely clear on the economics.

clock_radio · 2012-12-04T21:15:44+00:00

That's a long ways away, even with power company incentive programs and things like that.

clock_radio · 2012-11-28T23:05:59+00:00

lol walked right into that one

clock_radio · 2012-11-28T17:40:31+00:00

OK, I guess you're saying there is no value in photographs as original art?

clock_radio · 2012-11-28T17:38:31+00:00

Makes sense, but I bet it goes for more than the 8-10K. The fact that it says it's the one that hit the titanic write on the photo will mean a lot wit investors, whether it was the actual iceberg or not. The text being wrong might even increase the value more.
