Most Popular Camera On Flickr: iPhone

Flickr logoThe vast majority of phones sold today comes with a built-in camera, but common to them all is that the quality is not yet near as good as what you’ll find in most pocket cameras. But one camera phone has done really well on the photo service Flickr, and that’s the Apple iPhone.
Flickr keeps statistics about the cameras used to upload pictures to their service and among mobile phones, the iPhone is far ahead, but now it has also taken first place among all cameras.

Until now it has been the Canon EOS 400D (XTi) which had the first place, but no more.

Observers don’t think that this means a lower quality of images, but more the fact that it’s much easier to put up pictures on Flickr via the iPhone.

Facebook – Friend Or Foe ?

facebook-logoby Dino Delellis

A few days ago, I wrote an article that was republished a number of times around the internet. In it I detailed a little bit of the angst being felt by people who had been banned or suspended while diddling around in the social network – Facebook.

Go ahead, say it – so what ? Granted that being suspended from facebook pales next to world hunger and global melting or is that global warming. But, if you were the cherished one expected to invite 600 wedding guests to your mother-in-laws anniversary and suddenly you got suspended after sending out only 20 invites, well you know then that being banned at such an auspicious time is going to look a little suspicious, right?

Movie Review: Seven Pounds (2008) – Will Smith, Rosario Dawson

Seven Pounds, Will SmithPlot: An IRS agent with a fateful secret embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers.

I’m gonna let the cat out of the bag on this right now; this movie is fantastic and I strongly recommend you watch it, unless you’re only into action movies and such.

Seven Pounds is a movie up along side, or even better, than Pass It On (Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt) and almost – in my eyes and in this genre of movies – as good as The Shawshank Redemption (number #1 on the Top 250 IMDb list of all time).

Seven Pounds really touched me like only very few other movies ever did, including the two above mentioned movies.

Self Pity – Stop Feeling Sorry For Yourself!

I found this video on human mindset by Karl Moore as part of the 30 Day Challenge to be very interesting and true indeed – I already knew about the principles explained in the video, but lots of people don’t – and even if they do – it’s good to have it refreshed in your memory, every now and then.

In this video Karl is talking about how to overcome self pity. I won’t give out all the details here, you would have no reason for watching the video then 🙂
