How to Get the Best Color Out of Your Photos @bigbill25: Yes I know, that ergs me as well, but the idea that those are "primary" colors seems to be embedded in a persons mind by those darn 3rd grade art teachers. I guess we will just have to accept the fact that the general populace is mis-informed. @bigbill25: Actually, thats not entirely true. It depends on what you use for material. In paint, the primary colors are Red, Yellow and Blue. @bigbill25: Well it also depends if you are talking about pigment or light.

How to Make a Paper Plate Speaker That Actually Works for Under $1 How to Make a Paper Plate Speaker That Actually Works for Under $1 Back in 2007, YouTube user HouseholdHacker posted a parody video on how to make a high-def speaker for under a buck. MythBusters took on the challenge and busted it. Although that particular method doesn't seem to work, that doesn't mean you can't make your own speaker for less than $1.00. You can—and it's really easy! Watch the video below to see how! To understand how a speaker works, I took one apart. In it's simplest form, a speaker is just a coil of wire glued to a piece of paper, and placed near a permanent magnet. The audio signal from your stereo is a form of alternating current. If this coiled wire is attached to a diaphragm, the vibrations will push a larger volume of air and generate sound waves that we can hear. That's all there is to it! For this project, let's use: Magnet wire is thin enameled copper wire and can be salvaged from many electronic devices for free, or bought at places like RadioShack. See Also

Web development News, Videos, Reviews and Gossip - Lifehacker I've used various versions of Windows for years, Linux in various flavours for another few years, and OS X for about 2-3 years total. I'm now a convert to OS X (though proudly not part of the cult of Mac — I enjoy the OS, I don't want Jobs' offspring) for general desktop use, switching to Windows for gaming. I find app quality is generally significantly higher on OS X than Windows (and certainly Linux). The UNIX core and bash are very important to me. User experience also plays a large part. Then there are the extras, like the *virtual* immunity to malware. Unfortunately, like many things in fierce competition, most people seem to pick a side when they should instead be looking at the options and evaluating whatever it is that suits them best. Similarly, I'm not deluded enough to think that Windows crashes all the time — I can't remember the last time my Windows 7 install crashed, just as I can't remember the last time my OS X and Ubuntu installs crashed.
