Windows 8 – For Privacy, Prevent Flash from Storing Local Data

16 Oct

Prevent the Flash plug-inside Internet Explorer from storing local data on your machine, and clear previously-stored data.

The Flash plug-in that runs inside Internet Explorer in Windows 8 can store local information such as game high scores, favorites when viewing groups of information, preferences, or as cookies that can identify when you access a particular website or application multiple times.

While some of this data may be required by certain Flash applications, you may be concerned about your privacy. Thus you can configure Flash to not store data on your machine, and to clear data that may already be stored. Doing so, however, may make it difficult, if not impossible, to run certain Flash apps or visit certain web sites….

16 Oct

Don’t need to see Bing, Finance, Photos, or other tiles on the Start Menu? Remove them quickly.

Are you the kind of person who just wants to get things done with their Windows 8 machine and don’t need to see live tiles such as Bing, Finance, News, Photos, Sports, Travel, or Weather on their Start Menu with their constantly-updated information from the Internet?

Microsoft Outlook 2010 – Oops! Prevent CTRL+ENTER from Sending a Message

16 Oct

Prevent Outlook 2010 from interpreting an accidental CTRL+ENTER as a request to send the current e-mail / message.

You may be used to CTRL+ENTER placing a page break inside a Microsoft Word 2010 document. However, this does not work in Microsoft Outlook 2010. The first time you hit it, Outlook 2010 displays a dialog box warning you that pressing this keyboard combination will actually send the current message. If you are the type of person who skims through dialog boxes (ahem), you might accidentally check the box saying that you don’t want to be warned again, and then click the “Yes” button. Or you might do this intentionally at first, thinking it is a useful feature, allowing you to send a message without having to take your hands off the keyboard.

… and then later, disaster strikes when you are composing an e-mail while still in the Word 2010 mindset. You may start typing a draft message, press CTRL+ENTER thinking that you are inserting a page break, and oops! Outlook 2010 sends your draft message! And you know that e-mail is just about impossible to recall once sent. So if this scenario has happened to you, how can you get the dialog box to come back, or better yet completely disable this “feature” altogether?…

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 – Don’t Use Keyboard Shortcuts? Remove Them From ScreenTips

16 Oct

If you prefer not to use keyboard shortcuts in PowerPoint 2010, stop showing them in the pop-up ScreenTip help.

As you move your mouse pointer over various on-screen icons and other elements in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 and see popup ScreenTips appear, you may have noticed keyboard shortcuts shown occasionally. If you’re used to pressing CTRL + S to save a document or CTRL + P to print one, you may find these reminders useful.

However, some people rarely venture far from the mouse, preferring to click buttons, navigate menus, and never worry about memorizing combinations of letters and modifier keys. If you fall in this latter category, you may wish to ditch these shortcut reminders….

Windows 8 – Prevent Current or New Drives from Being Defragmented / Optimized

16 Oct

Windows 8 will attempt to defragment current and newly-connected drives on a schedule – learn how to turn this off.

By default, Windows 8 will attempt to defragment, or optimize, your hard disks and partitions every week, an often useful tasks that can speed up your computer by moving data around.

You might determine that certain external hard disks should not be optimized on a schedule, instead choosing to optimize them on an as-needed basis. Also, defragmenting a solid state drive is not recommended and can actually shorten its lifespan. Thus you can configure the Optimize Drives tool to ignore certain drives or not optimize every new drive connected to the machine during the regular maintenance window….

The Fastest Film Scanner in the World & More from Photo Hack Day Berlin!

16 Oct

If you could make your own photo hack, what would it be? Personally, we’d figure out a way to make CatPaint real life.

Over a hundred developers dreamed even bigger at Photo Hack Day Berlin last week!

With judges from Facebook, Getty Images, and EyeEm and participants like the Loopcam & InstaCRT team, competition was fierce and yielded some amazing apps that we actually wish we had on our phone right now.

These were the top three winners!

1.Helmut: The fastest scanner in the world! A simple box in which you place a film negative. The accompanying app shoots a photo of the film & inverts it into a positive image. We watched them scan a frame in under 5 seconds.
2. Tourist Eraser: Kinda like Photoshop’s Content-Aware Fill for your phone. It detects tourists in your photo and erases them without you having to do any work.
3. Visual Weather: Pulls together Flickr photos of what the weather looked like on a day similar to today’s. (To figure out what to wear & such!)

EXTRA COOL THING! We helped celebrate with an online photo challenge with EyeEm. See the winners’ photos, which were actually shown at Photo Hack Day!

4 September, 2012 – Medium Format Image Quality from a sub-$1k Compact?

06 Sep

Is the headline above hyperbole, or am I just laying out some troll bait? Neither actually. That’s why I put a question mark after it.

The new Sigma DP2 Merrill is destined to be one of the most polarizing cameras in a while. It is not without its flaws (none terribly serious if IQ is your primary need), but it also produces some of the highest resolution images that I’ve seen short of a top-of-the-line DSLR with a 1st rate prime lens attached, or from a medium format back.

What have I been smoking? Read my Sigma DP2 Merrill review and find out.

     

 "Every time I go back to a module I had already seen, I learn additional things.  I have never seen tutorials that have the excellent mix of what the features are, 
how to use them, enough of the under-the-hood information 
and concepts so that I can utilize the features creatively and efficiently, 
and just enough humor to keep the motivation level high.  Wow!"

25 August, 2012 – Learning About Photography from Classical Music

25 Aug

Yes, I care as much about new gear and technology as you do. But, I also try to regularly publish essays on "photography" – you know, that thing we do with our shiny new toys to gives them purpose.

Today’s essay by contributor Mark Schacter is titled Everything That’s Important in Photography I Learned from Classical Music.

 

     

"You and Jeff did it again!  A great series of videos.

I’ve watched the earlier Camera to Print series as well as the LR 2 & 3 videos and as usual, I learned 
new technique and ideas even though I’ve been behind a camera for 45 years.

Additionally, the rapport you two have is most engaging, enjoyable, and totally different than the sterile video tutorials from others (I’m afflicted with being a visual learner). 

Again, a great series of videos that have helped me grow once again."
