I have a thousand questions about The Tablet’s design. What size is it? There’s a big difference between, say, 7- and 10-inch displays. How do you type on it? With all your fingers, like a laptop keyboard? Or like an iPhone, with only your thumbs? If you’re supposed to watch video on it, how do you prop it up? Holding it in your hands?

Hipstamatic Gentrifies iPhone Camera
The Hipstamatic, contrary to its name, isn’t a camera to be used whilst wearing tight pants, showing your underwear and doing elephant trunk skids on your fixed-gear track bike. Instead, it is an iPhone application which will apply all manner of image deg
Perhaps I will give this to myself as an early Christmas gift, to remind me of the plastic-lensed, light leaking camera that was part of the Starsky and Hutch kit I got for Christmas so many years ago.

Scanning: The Old World Joins the New
All this stuff degrades over time, so the contemporary advice is to digitize it for enhancement and indefinite preservation. Enter scanners and scanning software – a field which retains a steady clientele despite the onslaught of digital capture.

Quite literally, I fear, journalism (or whatever is left of it) will become just another movie. And so I ask what will become of the still image? What will become of us photographers? Will we all have to adapt to this new RED RAW video footage, will be become film makers or multimedia makers instead of photographers?

New Faster 5 Bay Drobo S Released for $800 | Thomas Hawk Digital Connection
I don’t think that I’m going to pay up $800 just yet for the new Drobo, but it looks like the previous model (which has FireWire 800) has dropped in price and is now offering a $30 rebate. At $319.95, after rebate, this is the cheapest I’ve seen this model yet. If you’ve been thinking about picking up a Drobo, now might be the time to do it.
