I challenged exchange of focus screen of Nikon D40.
CES 2013: High-resolution screen advances were on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, with everyone from tablet makers to television manufacturers pushing pixel count further than ever before. Sharp stole the show, in terms of screen resolution technology by exhibiting a 85-inch 8K LCD screen prototype. Co-developed with Japanese broadcaster NHK, the UHDTV screen offers 16 times the resolution of a standard 1080 TV and would allow you to display a 33MP image without downscaling or cropping.

What ever happened to in-home 3D technology and virtual reality? Perhaps futurists got a bit ahead of themselves, and maybe the way our eyes and minds focus means that many entertainment experiences must be focused on a screen … but that does not mean they are limited to it.

From Microsoft: “IllumiRoom uses a Kinect for Windows camera and a projector to blur the lines between on-screen content and the environment we live in allowing us to combine our virtual and physical worlds. For example, our system can change the appearance of the room, induce apparent motion, extend the field of view, and enable entirely new game experiences.”

Beyond a cool gimmick or special effect, on the one hand, or a practical extension of screen space on the other, this is about enhancing your experience – tapping into the background, like surround sound does.

In some cases, context can be added – snowflakes sifting downward as you race on a MarioKart winter level. In other cases, useful peripheral elements can show you the broader built environment beyond your main area of focus – skies and streets above, below or off to the site in wireframe format.

Tired of your Windows 7 applications not taking up the whole screen?
Applications in Windows 7 run as … well .. windows. They don’t have to take up the full screen, allowing you to view the contents of multiple folders or applications simultaneously. You can move windows around, resize them, minimize them, etc.
However, there may be some applications that you would rather have take up the whole display whenever you start them. For example, if you open Notepad you would rather have the whole screen available for you to edit data – the same with Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word. Or, perhaps you have a smaller monitor and need the full display every time you open up a web browser. Here’s a tip that works with most applications….

Stop hiding parts of the Desktop when maximizing applications by using the freeware MaxMax.
It seems counterintuitive, doesn’t it? When you maximize a program in Windows, by nature you want the window to take up the entire Desktop (except for the Taskbar in most cases) -right?
There may be instances where you don’t want maximized windows to be – well, maximized. Perhaps you have some Sidebar gadgets that you want to remain visible and not covering up part of the maximized window. Maybe you have a Desktop calendar and want to keep it shown. Or perhaps you have a window containing status information on part of the screen and don’t want it covered by other windows. For these cases, there’s the freeware MaxMax….
