Re: Apple upgrades MacBook Pro line with faster processors, graphics cards, and more storage - http://thisismynext.com/2011...
"The 13" was reasonably priced against high end laptops at $1200 given it's specs and construction, but with this price hike I'd probably have to say it's a little too expensive for what it is. As for the 15" and 17" macbooks, those seem very overpriced. I'm not sure how you could argue otherwise. Anyone willing to pay $2,400 for a laptop with those specs in 2011 is in a specialty profession (tax deductible) or luxury market (could charge these people $5000 and they would pay it)."

ecocentrik on Whats the best Sci-Fi novel you have ever read? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Gargoyles would be any of our contemporary mobile social media addicts, dumping data and impressions into the cloud. This would include: twitter, facebook, youtube, foursquare... They are described as proto-androids, covering but not replacing their eyes/ears with electronics. I loved reading this book. My second favorite read by Stephenson was probably Diamond Age."

Metaphysical McGuffins - http://crookedtimber.org/2011...
Charlie Kaufman on the use of McGuffins: I think you can be as outlandish as you want or as surreal as you want, as long as the characters are based in something real. You can put them in any situation or any reality as long as their reactions have something to do with humans beings and you’re focused on that element of it. I’m not interested in necessarily doing realistic things, obviously. I like fanciful stuff. But it can’t be just fanciful without people in it. Then it’s of no real interest. If you decide that people are turning into carrots or something as your story idea, then I think that I would have to figure out why that’s important to me as a person and why that story resonates in some way. Otherwise there’s no story. It’s just a gimmick. (10)

Samsung: Galaxy Tab has leg up on Apple iPad - CNN.com - http://edition.cnn.com/2010...

""Honestly, I don't see anything [about the Galaxy Tab] that is weaker than the iPad," W.P. Wong, head of Samsung Mobile's product planning team, said at a press conference here at the IFA electronics show. And in several ways, he said, the Galaxy Tab is stronger. It permits both picture-taking and video chat with front- and back-mounted cameras. Its weight of 380 grams (0.8 pounds) is considerably less than the iPad, which weighs 680 grams (1.5 pounds) without 3G and 730g (1.6 pounds) with it."

from Bookmarklet
"Along with the Galaxy Tab and the Android-powered Galaxy S smartphones, Samsung has its own Bada operating system to cultivate for smartphones. And the Samsung Apps effort for what Samsung calls smart TVs is another effort at building a strong developer ecosystem: Samsung announced Thursday it will pay 500,000 euros ($641,000) to developers in Europe in a follow-up to contests it has run in Asia and the United States."

Are you using Touchwiz?
- G Dub of the Carolinas
I like the enhancements to the notification bar with wifi and bluetooth controls easy to get to
- G Dub of the Carolinas
You'rre lucky btw Adrian, nobody else can turn Touchwiz off. It's the only launcher loaded on all the other SGS phones. Thankfully other launchers are easy to load.
- G Dub of the Carolinas
I didn't turn it off, I just installed LP and got rid of all the ugleh stock icons. Now it looks better, iz all. Like I said, I like what Sam did with TW as far as functionality and simplification goes. HTC went WAYYY over the top with Sense. Oooh... and a built in task manager. How nice is that? Longpress home and there it is. Touch it, hit end all. Done! Same number of steps to use...

I do'n have that task manager. They're working on bringing it to the cappy

This is looking more tempting. Maybe what the 7" UMPC should have been. I hope it's not locked to a plan.
- Rodfather
It's looking more and more like the Tab is going to be heavily subsidized. I HATE this trend.
- G Dub of the Carolinas
Hopefully it will be like the streak and it sells without a plan. I'm guessing around $600-700
- Rodfather
Yep wifi only please... root, tether, done. I would spend up to $300 for a 7" device with a *good* LCD screen and $400 with a Super AMOLED screen. Now for 10" device... add a hundred to those price points and I'm sold.
- Adrian
Cruz Tablet 7 inch $300. There is no 3G radio and a Capacitive screen. The *gulp* Archos 10.1 looks enticing too.

News flash. Samsung make a lot of Apple's components. Such as, ohh, I don't know, the A4 chip?

If you wish to be pedantic, the A4 is ARM IP. So yeah, not designed by Apple either.
- Mo Kargas
Didn't apple buy an ARM chip fab? PA Semi? thought the A4 was theirs.

Selling this exclusively though mobile carriers sounds like a mistake. It does look cool.

Thanks Enrique, I'll post some more soon. They are a little more obvious than these ones. As Luke points out; without being able to look closely it's impossible to tell. He's right; but up close it's more obvious. I'll upload the originals to Picasa later, and then you'll be able to zoom in with any photo viewer and see for yourselves. I can't believe how many people liked these. A few people have reposted them already. Thanks!

Kol, I can't thank you enough! Kol found another post which helps to prove that these are done in pencil.

- Kol Tregaskes
Excellent pictures - how long did it take you to scan the photographs into Photoshop and then edit them? The only pencil that has come into contact with these "drawings" is the Photoshop pencil. A tip - stop trying to fool people into thinking you are a "real" artist, because all you are doing is cheapening proper artist's works whom have spent hours creating real pictures as opposed to a few minutes on a graphics editing package.

Actually, I have learned quite a bit about these drawing since I made this post. Not only have I discovered all of the artists, but I've learned more about how they are created.

There are many other artists besides the ones featured here who practice...

- Michael Fidler

- Iphigenie
I'm amazed that people are still posting these photographs of animals and calling them pencil drawings. This is at least the third case I can remember (and there are probably more) of this happening. The myth about them being drawings was debunked long ago. It's also funny that whenever they get posted the person posting them doesn't make it clear that they aren't the artist, exactly as you have done.
- canadianmaple09
@canadianmaple09 I posted these back in March, 2009 when I was beginning to use FF regularly. I ran them through TinEye hoping to find their source, but it returned no results. When I ran through again yesterday, TinEye returned over four pages of results. If I had it to do over again, would I? Yes
- Michael Fidler
The people you refer do don't join "just to slam" someone, they are concerned members of the online art community that want to see real art appreciated and fake art or photos being passed off as drawings revealed for what they really are. Artists such as Brian Duey, Armin Mersmann, Paul Lung, Zindy Nielsen,and many others do not receive the appreciation they deserve because of scams like this.
- canadianmaple09
canadianmaple09, the worthiness of your motives notwithstanding (and they are worthy, definitely) you could definitely have approached Michael completely differently by say, giving him the benefit of the doubt rather than attacking in a highly accusatory tone.
- Chieze Okoye
When you've seen these same pictures posted multiple times by people that just find them on the internet and claim they are pencil drawings, when it has already been established on multiple occasions that they are not, the "benefit of the doubt" approach seems a little too generous. People post these images and claim they're drawings to get views for their own site or blog or page or whatever it is they post it on. It's wrong and it needs to be stopped.
- canadianmaple09
I can understand that, but you should also keep in mind that everyone is not as well-versed in the issue as you are. All I'm saying is that you would probably be more effective in this case if you weren't setting this up as a us-vs.-them, "must destroy with the validity my argument!" attitude when talking to a guy who's been actively having a discussion on the issue in what seems to me (having been around when he first posted the images and the follow up thread and what not) to be good faith.
- Chieze Okoye
Look at his first comment here. People clearly thought he drew them. He doesn't set the record straight. He also claims that they "are actually pencil drawings" and that "I have more drawings too." Later he claims that you need to look at them closer to see they are drawings and that he will "post the originals". Once again, this makes it sound like they are his. This follows the same...

- canadianmaple09
Greg and Chieze, thanks for your support. I really appreciate it. @canadianmaoles09, for what it’s worth, I share your concerns about giving proper attribution when sharing also. However, I admit that I'm more conscious of it now than I was at the time of this post. Nevertheless, I have never taken credit for anybody's work here other than my own!
- Michael Fidler
BTW, I didn't realize it before, but I just noticed that you're new here too. I hope you like it so far and spend more time here. IMO, friendfeed is still the best thing around!
- Michael Fidler
I would probably qualify as an image analysis expert, but there's no way to prove that online. One thing we can do is look at color. Even though the images are black and white,they're actually RGB images, meaning they contain cyan magenta and yellow. If you look at the image of the rhino you have posted then look at the photo of the rhino at the photographer's site you can see they both...

Overclocked - Cory Doctorow (short stories - note Anda's Game, an "update" of Ender's Game; and I, Robot and I, Rowboat, of the original I, Robot)

I never liked Ender's Game to be honest. Little Brother was a great book.

I read Ender's game when I was in highschool, or maybe middle school. While I enjoyed it at the time, I don't know if I would enjoy it as much with my current tastes in books. I'll have to crack open my copy and go through it again to see if it stands the test of time. Been wanting to read Little Brother for a while now, think that may be my next one to pick up when I finish my current series.

yeah good point - we are discussing young adult scifi books that'll wet their appetite towards the genre (ya normally being 13-20 y/o - but some argue for younger which depends on the kid really)...
