Nikon did something unprecendented last week!
They announced sucessors to its blockbuster D70 - no, thats not the big news.. read on!

Whenever a new camera comes out - it invariably contains many new features, many innovations and improvements over the older versions. So Nikon D70s boast so many cool features than Nikon D70 (my camera). […]

Today I upgraded my trusty old Photoshop CS into CS2.
After initial installation (took forever) the interface popped up. Very sleek, the first thing you notice is smooth icons and well rounded tabs. Looking under the hood, I found the menu has changed a lot - CS had a lot of options CS2 has a lot […]

This Information Highway is getting an facelift, so excuse the messy CSS. The upgrade will take a couple of days, you will know when I am done .
Those who are wondering what the hell am I blabbering about. In plain English - “I am upgrading the Blog Software - and I screwed up, so […]

JVC yesterday retracted their pricing of 13x HD lens. Initially, it was announced for $6,995, now it is $12,995. That changes the whole equation. Bummer!

Also this $5995 camera does what a $65,000 Varicam does - variable frame […]

Adobe buys Macromedia for $3.4 billion. I didnt see this coming - I am shocked as I was shocked when AOL bought Netscape.
I wonder what happens to competing softwares - Photoshop v/s Fireworks, Dreamweaver v/s GoLive, Flash v/s LiveMotion(?) - but it would be too stupid of Adobe to kill MMs software - no, not […]

WOW - what a ride!

This is one of the hilarious movies I have seen in recent times - I don’t ever recall laughing so much for 3 full hours.
The script is so expertly weaved from a simple story - not even an unique story, but the dialogues, timing and excellent supporting […]

Photoshop - the bread and butter software for any graphic artist, has gone through a new version upgrade.

Photoshop CS2 - a wierd name… hmm… also for a software that is so perfect in all aspects - what is left to improve ?
HD of course more and more resoultion! It seems it can […]
