Cinematic iPhone

Craig — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 18:53:27 +0000

I knew it was just a matter of time before someone got around to making a cinematic film, using iPhone as the camera. I’m really looking forward to checking this one out for sure. Some years ago, saw a film called SPIES LIKE ME, directed by Nowan Uno, that was made using only iLife tools, however no body really cared about that small breakthrough at the time.

The iPhone of course, is another story and with the continued growth and inevitable domination of Android based devices in the hand held marketplace, the iPhone needs as much noteworthy hype it can get!

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Acclaimed South Korean film director Park Chan-wook is wielding a new cinematic tool: the iPhone.

Park, director of the internationally known “Old Boy,” ”Lady Vengeance” and “Thirst,” said Monday that his new fantasy-horror film “Paranmanjang” was shot entirely on Apple Inc.’s iconic smartphone.

“The new technology creates strange effects because it is new and because it is a medium the audience is used to,” Park told reporters Monday.

Warriors On Horde Faction – Pick the Best Racials

Bill Thompson — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:46:06 +0000

Warrior is one of the more popular classes in World of Warcraft, and for good reason. These plate wearing monsters are consistently one of the better DPS classes, boss tanks, and PvPers around. And there is something great about playing something as basic as heavily armored weaponsmaster. We’ll discuss which races on the Horde side are best for various purposes, from tanking to PvP to DPS.

We’ll talk about Forsaken first. They don’t really bring anything special to the table as far as DPS does. For tanking,

Worlds Of Warcraft

Will can occasionally be useful, but will sit unused during the vast majority of encounters. For PvP, undead used to be the best, but these days Will shares a cooldown with PvP trinkets, making them passable but nothing special.

The leaders of the Horde, Orcs, are up next on our list. Orcs aren’t particularly good for Tanking, their racials are mostly useless. For DPS, Ax Expertise and Blood Fury both add a decent bit, making Orc one of the better DPS races. For PvP, their DPS boost and the 15% reduction of stuns are both good, making them acceptable PvPers.

The cow-people are up next. Tauren are amazing Tanks, thanks to their boosted health, and the occasional Warstomp when trash gets out of control. Unfortunately, though, as DPS their racials don’t really contribute anything. For PvP they are amazing for the same reasons they make good tanks; extra health and a AoE stun are both great benefits.

Though they lack in popularity, Trolls make good warriors. They make one of the best DPS races in the game, thanks to Berserking. For Tanking they don’t really have anything worthwhile, although Regeneration might be worth something. For PvP, the burst of Berserking and the duration reduction of movement impairing CC both benefit them greatly.

World Of Warcraft

So which races are best for which purposes? Tauren is the clear winner for PvP, now that Undead is getting nerfed. For DPS, you want Troll or Orc; Orc is better when wielding Axes, Troll otherwise. Since a lot of top-end weapons are axes right now, Orc is probably the better choice. And finally, Tauren once again are the best, this time for Tanking.

So, that’s it for this article on Horde racials for warriors. Tauren is my personal top pick; doing a few dozen more damage every second is nice, but having more health on the tank can mean the difference between a wipe and downing the boss. Not to mention I love PvP. Hope you enjoyed this article!

Vista Vs. 7

admin — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 09:16:08 +0000

Honestly, could it be any worse than Vista was or whatever name they decided to call it in the end. No matter how they changed the name the concept just didn’t work well. Maybe it did in theory but the actualization of it lost a little something. And with scarcely a month under its belt, what are users saying about this latest product in the Microsoft lineup? Well, some of the bugs are still being squashed but being that it is coming on the heels of Windows Vista; it has got to look pretty darn good to those who are trading in that for Windows 7.

Before the official launch of Windows 7, Microsoft did a test with a sample set of users to make sure they were not going to receive the same negative backlash they received with Vista. The users were comprised of individuals who used Windows for personal use only (61% of the testers), individuals who used Windows both personally and professionally (25 % of the testers) and individuals who used Windows strictly professionally (14% of the testers). The individuals who were tested also represented users who were installing Windows 7 on a PC that already had Vista, and users where Windows 7 was the only operating system ever installed on that PC.

The testing went very well, with very few issues reported, and little difficulty with the installation of the Windows 7 operating system. The issues that were encountered were issues that could arise from the installation of any operating system, such as existing software on the PC that is incompatible with Windows 7, or drivers for certain hardware devices that were incompatible with Windows 7. In these case a patch from the manufacturer of the software or hardware device and probably eliminate the issues altogether. There was a small number of users that ended up having their computers crash during the installation process, but this is also inevitable when installing an operating system, and should not dissuade anyone from upgrading to Windows 7 if they want to.

After the installation portion of the testing, the users then began to use the Windows 7 operating system, and were able to see the vast improvements that Microsoft made when compared to Windows Vista. The test results were overwhelmingly supportive of Windows 7. When the test scores were compiled, only 5% of the testers said they were unsatisfied with Windows 7, compared to almost half of the testers for Vista who were unsatisfied. Clearly Windows 7 is a significant improvement to Vista.

Windows 7 is a great operating system, and if you are currently using Windows Vista you will probably want to upgrade to 7 as soon as possible. Windows 7 of course has some bugs, which is to be expected, but Microsoft is pushing updated out as soon as they are available. There is no question that Windows 7 is a far superior operating system to Windows Vista, and it is probably the best system that Microsoft has ever released.

Why Forums Are Still The Leading Website Technology?

Dan Lew — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 09:35:18 +0000

There is nothing you can not do in a forum, that you can do any other site. Usually when joining a forum you will have the opportunity to be part of a community based on similar interests.

Sites such as Adobe, Sitepoint, Digital Point are among some of the best and most active forums in the world and other forums such as Deviantart and Hymoo.com are of some of the most unique and fastest growing forums in the world.

Still until this day most leading sites have a Forum as one

Meet like minded folks in a Forum

of their categories to allow users to communicate what is on their mind instantly. It allows users to either ask questions or answer questions that one may relate to regarding past experience and any reviews, critic or positive point of views.

Really a forum is based on freedom of speech. Having said that their are usually rules one would also expect to follow, as long as you abide by these you may be a community member for a long time. An experienced forum member may have better reputation then others based on the level of input he has given to others and how satisfied other users have been as a result of the users efforts.

It works well in 3 ways:

1. The website owner itself – by having a community of members on your website attracts new visitors leading them back to your site for other services.

2. The member of the forum – by being part of a thriving website community forum will allow you to gain exposure or recognition from your efforts thus leading you to gain more clicks to your own site or contacting you for services.

3. Recently active forum users have been using platforms such as Hymoo to allow them to create their own forum easily and effectively without having to create their own forum website.

By now having more choice and more social impact with forum capabilities, this gives a very big reason to accept that forums are stil really one of the leading website technologies around and will continue to be a very valuable social marketing tool for a very long time to come.

Web Design Leads To A Successful Online Business

Adriana Noton — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 10:28:37 +0000

You want the correct images in the correct place on your website home page. Successful web design is easy but you must create a memorable website image so visitors will keep coming back. You might want to visit your favorite websites that sells products and get some ideas to use for your site. But follow these basic steps for now. You will be able to add to your site later.

Place three to five images on your index or home page. Do this also for your core sub web pages. Assume that all people online just brought their computer home from the store. They therefore have 800 by 600 screen resolution and have a 56k modem.

Many if not most people use high speed internet but assume for now they all have slow dial up to get online. Once you are set up you will be able to read your stats tool and find out what speed internet connection your visitors are using. You can adjust accordingly.

For now begin with three to five images on your home page of your website. A logo, an emotional image, and a product image will make up the images on your home page. The first and biggest image will be your logo. It will be the first image your website visitor will see. It will be for you, the most valuable image for an effective logo image will help your site stand out in your visitors mind.

Imagine how you shop online. Most visitors shop for products on many websites before they buy. A clean and professional logo will be memorable and people will want to make their way back to your site when they are ready to buy. Also, include up near your logo your telephone number, hours of operation, and information on how people can make a purchase; credit or debit card, or by pay pal for instance.

MMM for Content production and Viral Marketing Solutions.

Before they buy people go back to a website five to seven times. You want to have a memorable logo and not simply your domain name written out at the top of your website. Think about memorable logos. When you see them you automatically think about the products the logo represents.

Check out Small Box

The emotional image should tell the benefits of your product in a photo. If you are selling iced tea, have images of people drinking your iced tea on a hot day. They are being refreshed by your tea. Your visitor will want the same feeling. Take a look at some sites to see if they have emotional images. Compare the sites with and without them. You will see how effective emotional images can be.

Place three to five product images. This way people with slow internet connections will not get impatient and leave your site because they had to wait a long time for your site to download. You can add more later when your stats show that most visitors have high speed connections. Many people create a website without a plan but not you. You will follow these web design tips and you will be on your way to success.

Three Seo Tips To Make A Difference

Kam — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 09:29:33 +0000

Sometimes it is just the tiniest of things that can make a Massive difference with SEO ranking results.

Here are three small things that will make a Larger difference if you employ them all the time.

1. If you are going fishing make sure there are fish and not too many fishing people.

2. Title is everything.

3. Being bold makes you stand out.

If you are going fishing make sure there are fish and not too many fishing people.

If we were going fishing as a professional, we would do one thing before we throw our nets into the water, we

Web Design Company can help

would KNOW that there are fish there to be caught! A professional fisher person does not throw their nets into the water BEFORE doing a radar scan to check for fish. If you are smart at SEO you will do the same! You will also not go fishing where everyone else is fishing, this is common sense.

When it comes to a more abstract world like SEO occasionally we forget common sense. So let’s remember!

In the SEO world making sure there are fish is making sure that there is traffic for a word we are choosing to rank for. Use tools like Google Traffic Estimator (just Google it) if you are short on funds, and if you have a little bit of money, go get yourself a WordTracker subscription (they also have a free tool as well which is good). These (and many other traffic tools) will tell you that there are ‘fish’ for the keywords that you want to rank for.

The next part of this BIG trick is not to fish were everyone else is fishing. So if you are smart if you are doing a blog for example, you will look for keywords that have good traffic but a LOW number of competing websites. WordTracker will help you with this.

Page title is everything.

Modern Media Maniacs.com can help

In the SEO universe the page title is the ‘secret weapon’ of the top ranker! Here is one thing to remember, make sure that the page title is as close as possible to being 100% the keyword you want to rank for as possible. The page title is like the title of a book. If you wanted to learn about the sex life of a worm then a book title of ‘Sex life of a worm’ will grab your attention and you will know you have the book you want. On the other hand a title of ‘Worms and interesting facts’ will not grab you in the same way. The trick is to make your page titles 100% of the keyword you want to rank for. If you add ‘clutter’ words then you are diluting the most important SEO element – like diluting a single malt whiskey with water or ice.

Being bold makes you stand out.

This is a very good onsite optimization tip if you want to optimize a page/blog entry for a particular keyword, make sure you embolden the keyword in the text 2 or 3 times. Do not overdo it of course!

General Tips for WoW Questing

Thomas Maryland — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 11:02:04 +0000

Are quest mobs kicking you around and forcing you to pause every few enemies to get back on your feet? Are you spending as much time running back to your body as you are fighting monsters? Or perhaps you just can’t keep yourself from having to fly to the AH every level, wasting valuable time? Don’t worry, we can help!

Knowing your class is probably the single biggest thing you can do to improve your leveling time, but it would be impossible to detail specs and strategies for every single class in the game here, so make sure to look up some class-specific information after you read this. My blog also has occasional posts about leveling specific classes, so you can check that out too.

World Of Warcraft

One thing a lot of people do is start following a leveling guide they get online, and find themselves struggling to down the mobs. This is a problem caused by the fact that most speed-levelers use the easiest classes for leveling, such as Hunter. Even if you are just doing quests as they come, you can encounter this problem. The secret here is to get a few levels ahead of the content you are on, and always quest on green or nearly-green mobs.

If you aren’t already carrying level-appropriate food and water, start doing so. Minimizing downtime is the real goal of everything we do when it comes to speeding up leveling, because it is the biggest factor in how quick we level. Use mana-efficient spells and abilities, use wands and melee, and conserve health by using defensive techniques, stunning abilities, and things like snares and roots. Also, again, fight lower-level mobs.

One thing that can slow people down is being under-geared. Make sure you are wearing good gear for your level; you can get it from the auction house, quests, or instances, but don’t let your gear fall behind. (Speaking of instances, make sure to use the new Dungeon Finder system to do level-appropriate instances. They are great experience per hour AND provide amazing gear.)

On the topic of the AH: Don’t spend tons of time going to the city to buy or sell. Use an alt to do all your business.

World Of Warcraft

Just mail things back and forth, as long as they are on the same account the transfer is instant. This has the added benefit of making it convenient to sell EVERYTHING that is white quality or better on the AH, making you tons of gold to buy new stuff with.

The Best Solution For Cheap Laptops: The Acer Aspire

admin — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 08:57:16 +0000

By Andrew Johnson | December 2009

If you or a person you hang out with is seeking a laptop that goes the distance, you could get lost in all of the configurations and options available on such a conveniently tiny tool. The Acer Aspire is one of the big dogs making small laptops, and it likely won’t take you long to figure out why.

You will be thoroughly impressed with its slim, minute designing. It has compelling characteristics and technological specs that match laptop computers and even home PCs that cost much more than this. The common cost that you’ll see these unbelievable machines for is under three hundred dollars.

Before you get into anything else, you will notice that the Acer Aspire is very small. As a matter of fact, it’s constructed to be in rivalry with the existent and very popular Mini models brought out by Dell. It didn’t take long for the Dell models to become high selling, and so Acer set out to make smaller even better. You will notice the screen for the Aspire is only 10. 1?, so it takes up very little space and fits into most handbags and courier bags. So logically, this becomes a great companion for someone who is always on the move.

The second thing to mention about the Aspire is the incredible hard drive. You have to think that the average hard drive present in home set-ups across America is roughly 60 Gigabytes. This capacity will store up to 15,000 audio files on average. The Aspire comes stock with a 160 GB hard drive, which means that you have the capacity for over double the storage space of the average home set up.

The Aspire is also designed to make picture file storage even easier. This is accomplished through the built in SD card reader. This makes the transfer of media files from your device a snap. You just insert the little card into the appropriate designated spot on the side portion of the computer, and within a few seconds you are screening them on the computer and storing all the files into a specified location.

Some other impressive features of the Aspire include a 1GB memory that is expandable up to another gigabyte, integrated wireless connectivity, Windows XP operating system, and an array of colorful choices for the outside shell. There are many more features and benefits to owning one of these machines, you just have to see for yourself.

On the whole, the Acer Aspire is among the cheapest laptop computers for sale right now. Don’t assume that low prices indicate a poor performance, because this is a mighty little device that anyone looking to get a laptop should have.
