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). Do note the word "generally" — some of this stuff is cross-platform and in some cases Windows offers something better! 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.
How to Take Better Pictures with Your Smartphone's Camera Bah. My iPhone 4 takes noticeably better pictures than my Nikon Coolpix L15 (or whatever it was) point and shoot - or at least it would, if my girlfriend hadn't dropped and broken the latter while using it in Madrid a couple weeks back. But seriously, even WITH masking tape over the flash - MASKING TAPE! - the flash would still COMPLETELY over saturate any picture with it left on. It was the worst flash on any camera I've ever seen - was it meant for trying to photograph the inside of a black hole, or what? For all the problems with the iPhone 4 (and by God, does it ever have problems - why can you turn shuffle on via voice commands when you can't turn it off again without unlocking the damn phone?!) @ryoshi: Yeah, I didn't have an iPhone 4 to test out for this (just my friend's 3GS), but I had a feeling none of this would really apply to the 4 because the camera is so freakin good. SExpand @ryoshi: Seriously and the focus is amazing... @Norbs: Holy mother of crap.
The F STOP » Professional Photographers Discuss Their Craft Enhance Your Camera and Photos This Weekend @neergrm: Naah it's a post-processing issue. Shoot raw and correct the colours later. @sty: Seems purple does not show up on iphones camera comes out more magenta looking. I could correct in Gimp but not really that good on photo editing @neergrm: Depends on what you mean by 'correctly'. If you mean 'doesn't look like when I was actually looking at them', remember that the light illuminating whatever it is has color as well. If you mean some are too dark or some are too bright, then it's exposure/speed, or maybe you're running into dynamic range limits. If you mean 'there's this *one* color I just can''t get, then, yeah, I have that problem too. @bobkoure: It was a purple chest of drawers when I took the photo it looked more magenta.

I've been playing around with "SuperCamera All-in-one" by BlueOnionSoft. It adds a few nice at-time-of-shooting features like an on-screen grid to line-up images and an "anti-shake" auto-shutter that waits for the camera to stop shaking before the shutter fires, hopefully reducing blur. I'll let you know if I find any other good choices. @msg001: I'm assuming you mean HDR, and yes try TrueHDR. @jbarr: Thanks for getting back to me jbarr.

Full Stop — Web design from Pittsburgh, PA For the TL;DR crew, here’s the deal: as of today, November 8th, 2013, Full Stop is no longer accepting new projects. We’re leaving the world of client services, and from this point forward, focusing our attention on Cotton Bureau and United Pixelworkers full-time. Wanna read a little more? Good, because we wrote another thousand words. Since the beginning, our web design business at Full Stop has been forced to compete with our internal projects (namely, United Pixelworkers and now, Cotton Bureau). When we walked away from our previous jobs, we wanted to start a company that did things the right way, and by things we meant everything from code to design to the client relationship to a well-structured business in a great office. After four years of juggling clients and internal projects, though, we’re exhausted. The Big Reveal. As of today, November 8th, 2013, Full Stop is no longer accepting new client projects. Going full-time on products may have been inevitable for us. One more thing.
