Technology opinions and digital photography

  • Black & White profile for color printer

    Who was not hurt by the weird colors of a digital print? Often, the solution is to use the right color profile from the printer manufacturer (depending on paper, ink, printer, etc.). But it is not always enough. If you have an old printer, you may not find the color profiles; If you use generic…

  • Small online video games for the family

    You don’t always find nice little online video games that would appeal to all members of the family. Nonetheless, this is what I found on the nice little Orisinal web site (Morning Sunshine). Recommended to the whole family (really from the youngest to the more mature).

  • Copy-cats don’t make a business

    A company named Genetic Savings & Clone, based in California, was created to sell expensive pet clones: Clone your cat for 32,000$ and more. Unfortunately, in the 6 years of its life, the company could sell only 2 animals. They went bankrupt. Finally, not everybody is dumb enough to buy a cat of that price…

  • Augmented Breasts Will Require Additional Inspection at Airports

    The TSA’s changes to the complete liquid ban may require persons with augmented breasts (or other body parts) to comply with further inspections at security checkpoints. Really, can you imagine what it will be for a person having had surgical breast augmentation to suffer that kind of “search“? I’m not speaking about the young bimbo…

  • Free audio books

    Librivox is a web site where you will find audiobooks read and recorded by volunteers who give them freely to you and any visitor. It is mostly english books and works, but there starts to appear a few non-english literature (some French, some German, for example). The selected works are part of the public domain…

  • Bad modem/routers for P2P

    I recently found a intersting list of modems/routers that do not survive well with P2P applications (let’s remember here that these applications can be very stressful for a network and its devices: hundreds or thousands of connections with a total traffic usually reaching the maximum limit of the network link). This is a list of…
