Yes to Lulz or No!?
Read more . . . →With all the news of hackers, government scandals and widespread corruption, two of the worlds most infamous underground groups, Anonymous and Lulz, announced an official statement. I'm not completely sure how I feel about this gang; they're sort of like a new, digital form of ancient pirates. On the other hand, despite their renegade behaviour, it is a natural revolution against government tyranny and corruption as any other revolution has been throughout history. The only difference now is that the computer technology is more vulnerable to attack and more vital to our lives. The main part of the statement...

How to manage a cluttered email inbox
Read more . . . →Let's be frank here for a minute. The only reason that I use a hardware email client is for the instant search capabilities that I have. I was an early adopter of gmail and one of my favourite features was the instant search speed of the google servers. When you wanted to find a key word it would look at a huge number of emails instantly and the search provided relevant results too! When I started using multiple emails on different domains I quickly needed to find an email client to aggregate multiple accounts and gmail didn't seem to fit...

How to remove red eye and glare from the LED flash in the iPhone 4
Read more . . . →Well a long time ago I was going to write a tutorial about how to get that weird glare out of eyes in Photoshop, basically the idea is to make two masks around the glare and lower the brightness or saturation until it looks normal. Now, in iOS 5, we get one touch red eye correction, huzzah, finally iPhoto meets the iPhone.

OS X Lion Release Date in Canada
Read more . . . →[caption id="attachment_1259" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="The new box for OS X Lion? Think again, Lion will be digitally distributed only."][/caption] As far as I know OS X Lion is coming to the world and Canada on July 22, 2011. The new OS is going to be distributed only on Apple's internal App Store and will be at the low $30 price point much like the release of Snow Leopard. Clearly this low price point has worked well for Apple by encouraging early-adoption while simultaneously discouraging piracy. I think that this is not a sustainable price for consumers though, I was recently...
