It's fun to grub in the system

I've been a Windows user since the mid 1990's. Before that I drove the Amiga and Vic-64. Sure, I have test driven a lot of Linux, and Mac I've used a lot because I was educated typographer and works with newspapers. Therefore, I consider myself to have enough meat on the bones when I say that I think Windows is the best operating system .

The main reason is now that I'm used to. I can, and has been around since Windows 3.11. I have learned to make the system work as I want, by adapting it for my own taste, fellösa and look the little things I can tune to get better performance. And so on.

Mac users tend to always mock me for this. Why not get a Mac where you do not have to keep on fiddling the system?The answer to this, that I like to grub around in the system ! I want control of the operating system and be able to choose exactly what is running in the background.

Thanks to these opportunities, I have not had to change the computer very often.When it starts to go slow, just down the round and get back performance. It can safely do on the Mac also, of course - I do not write it here to start the OS war, but to explain why I prefer Windows.

When I sit down at a friend's computer and find it extremely tough, I can not help but to trim it. With old habits I go through all the background programs, run antispyware and cleaning, removes debris and uninstall unnecessary units. They are always happy when they can use his computer normally again, and I still think it's fun.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1, a small smooth SLR

The so-called "Micro Four Thirds" technology has made it possible to make smaller digital SLR. Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 is a successor to the DMC-G1 and the news is shooting a movie in HD video 1080 resolution.

Generally speaking, GH1 same camera as the G1, though the difference is that digital camera, as I said is capable of capturing video in higher resolution. Now you can shoot HD video in either 720-pixel resolution and 60 frames per second, or 1080 at 24 frames per second. Auto Focus is continuing in this position, so that it is updated properly and always try to get good focus.

One advantage of digital SLRs, where support for video recording is, owed to the ordinary video cameras, is that you can change the lens to better suit the situation and environment. DMC-GH1 uses words of the "Micro Four Thirds" which is a standard lens in the smaller size. This also makes the camera easier to carry around.

If we look at the specifications for the camera itself as sensor handle pictures in 12.1 megapixels. There are of course auto focus and many good features such as face recognition. You can take photos in 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9. Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 launched just in time for summer in June, and no price tag is not set.

Insert Watermarks in our images for free

The watermarks, for the uninitiated, images or text are printed on a media file. It would happen very often to see photos or videos on the internet with these overlays. A little 'as TV programs bearing the logo of the channel transmits them.

This "branding", as they say, that this branding of media, has several purposes, the first of which is to highlight the authorship of that file. So nobody can "steal" your creation such as a graphic, maybe cost him many hours of hard work. And if the number of software currently in circulation to make the watermarks are typically shareware as a service to describe what we can only rejoice deeply.

PicMarkr does just that. And the results are satisfactory, given that it is an online application, free, and which, moreover, does not require registration. More than this!
We come to describe in detail the main features.

What immediately strikes our attention, as soon as we reach the homepage of the site, is the resemblance with Flickr, the popular photo sharing site. In fact, PicMarkr offers the possibility to add our pictures we have on our profile on this site. And not only. The integration with Facebook and Picasa is guaranteed. And of course the ability to upload files on your hard disk.

Once you upload the picture (or pictures, because you can load up to 5 files at a time, for a total size up to 25 Mb), you can choose between three different types of watermarks:

Watermark Text: This is our text to insert a choice;
Image Watermark: In this case instead of the "brand" will be performed by our own image, typically a logo
Tiled Watermarks: In this method, bombard the surface of our image with a number written, or logos. At this point the job is finished, and we can choose whether to download on your PC and our work, or put directly into our profiles Flickr, Picasa and Facebook. If we work with multiple files at once, we are offered the opportunity to download a single zipped file.

All that remains is to try to realize the ease of use and excellent results.
