Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Does it need to be anything more than a simple timeline of events in a .txt document? Start each paragraph with a timestamp (my preference is YYYY-MM-DD), order the paragraphs by them.
I'd need attachments. Pictures at a minimum, and embedded into the flow would be better. So far, in the experimentation, the "all day event" in the calendar is the sparest, but the S-Planner lets me add S-Notes as well as images, so that's quite nice.
What you're describing is how I'd implement in Evernote, probably. Still playing around there.
Chrome just randomly made a weird retro mishmash of my bookmarks that I cleaned up yesterday and the far past. It is midway through the hours and mega hours I put in to clean and sort them. I can't punch a browser in the face, right? Because identifying a face is hard. But I want to punch it.
Ok, photographers, tell me straight - Apple is just making up words now, right?
"dynamic local tone map"
"autofocus matrix metering"
Can you combine them? I suppose, if you want to focus based on information from all over the scene. I can't work out how it's useful, mind. Just that it could be done.
What do they say it is?
"autofocus matrix metering"
I can imagine what this is, and if it is what I think it is, it could be very cool: Figuring out the ideal focal point and exposure, based on all objects in the photo, rather than just focusing on one central object.
Matrix metering is something most SLR cameras have. It is, as Jon said about taking information from the whole frame rather than just spot metering which takes the information from one point.
Yeah, but the addition of "autofocus" to the phrase is new, isn't it?
Not really, my SLR can take into account multiple focal points and adjust as needed. There's a menu buried in there somewhere that will even allow me to set which point, or group of points is being used.
Automatically? Or manually?
When the camera is in full automatic mode, then it does it all automatically. Beyond that it's all about how much I want to do manually. It really just sounds like Apple is bringing a bunch of SLR features into play on the camera phone.
