I like the idea you have going here. I would like the saturation more realistic, but that's just me. Different framing and cropping come to mind. Maybe play off the differences in the textures and color, putting them closer and cropping or framing in tight. I may play with this idea when I can. I have nice oranges, but I need an apple. And the nice lighting setup you have.
Please excuse the PhotoShop hack of your image...:)

Dale - no excusing required. You are one of a handful of folks here whose opinions I highly value and look forward to. To the suggestions you raise;
* Saturation. Acknowledged. to be fair to my concept tho, that was intentional. To achieve the greatest degree of obvious contrast in the photo I pushed the colors on the orange and the apple - but not overall in the photo.
* Composition (framing). This was the issue that concerned me the most. I played with different crops but elected to go with a very symmetrical and obvious crop - with the idea in mind that this best reinforced the obvious contrast elements (apples-oranges and black-white). But I never even thought of or attempted a close crop such as you used here, and now I'm gonna go play with that. I rather like it and it still seems to carry the conceptual message of contrast.
As always - thanks much for the great feedback.

Robster.
No. In fact the average Japanese cannot say 'robster'. The 'L to R' problem ('ret's go') is when Japanese know they're trying to say an English word with 'L' and automatically think the Japanese sound would be incorrect so try to make it sound more like English. The actual Japanese L/R sound is nearer to 'L' and our English words beginning with 'L' are not a problem. Therefore the average Japanese would pronounce 'lobster' with an 'L' but 'rabbit' would be pronounced 'labbit'.

I'm thinking leaving work early on Friday and heading to the Southlake store will be a fun way to start off my weekend. I'm also hoping this isn't as crazy as an iPhone launch. I don't think it will be.
what time do you think you'll get there? I'm thinking i will get there at 3 and be okay. I want a white 32 wifi

It's pretty clear that the lens is in a deeper "well" in the white model. This is consistent with the rumor that light was impinging on the camera in the white model. What you need to do is limit all light that isn't coming from directly in front of the lens. No light from the side, and definitely no light from the inside of the camera. The way to fight it if you have an SLR? Invest in an old fashioned thing called a bellows, which shields the lens from any light that isn't coming from the area you can focus on, and which doesn't do anything but add glare or make blacks in the picture more like dark gray. This deeper camera acts like a bellows, I presume, blocking any light coming through the white, more translucent body.

The KIA Forte Koup, in red, is a nice looking little car, IMHO.
And when are you going to settle-down, you rake?? ;)
No four door cars! And I will settle down when I find a nice young man who doesn't annoy me. Preferably one who likes to play hockey or some other sport.
I'm not going for 100% US-made. I'd like something designed and assembled in the US with a US-made frame.
American carmakers don't really do "sexy" anymore, unless you find trucks and SUVs sexy. Ponycars are pretty much your only option.
Hence the Camaro or the Challenger. The Mustang? Meh. It looks clunky. Not that I don't appreciate Ford's attempt to bring back a classic design and update it, but the car looks like crap, TBH. Something just isn't right. They got the Thunderbird right, but priced it out of reach.
Well, I know if I had to buy a new car now, the Hyundai Genesis coupe would be on my short list. I would definitely take one out for a test drive at the very least.
That's kind of cute. Do they make a convertible?
They don't come any sexier than an American Corvette
Another near miss. They ruined it when they got rid of the covered headlights.The 2004 model was the last good one, IMO.
Just found this Mustang concept that is making the auto show rounds. This will be cool if they actually do it.

It's too bad really, but he doesn't look long for this world. No one that skinny is healthy. My guess is that the last few months have been spent in trying to put some weight on the guy. Chemo therapy cannot be given to someone who is already too weak......
I hope I'm wrong.
I'm not far off being that skinny. I eat well, and exercise 4-5 times a week.
While Jobs undoubtedly has some health issues (none of us know what they are right now - other than the fairly major fact that he has a transplanted liver) but to say no one healthy is that thin is just not true.
Some people have quite spectacularly high metabolisms
Mr Jobs has never exactly been a chubber, has he? :P

Itcheroni's post used the same argument form as many democrats have used when defending President Obama. I found that ironic, so I threw it out there. Admittedly, it was a bit off topic, but considering the big picture on taxes and spending and how bad things could have gotten involves national politics, I didn't think it was so far off to derail the thread.
As an aside, who do you think advocates for lower taxes, the Austrian economic fallacy, and the theory that spending cuts alone will fix all our problems? Is it really possible to debate this without acknowledging who we are talking about?
I'd be happy to stand up and praise anything related to the Republicans. It's depressing to not have much to cheer about. Where are all the reasonable Republicans I knew and respected? Why aren't they the ones standing up to this? They used to.
mcrain, we're going to constantly run into this same discussion until you realize that I have never voted for or supported a single Republican in my life. If you search my postings pre-2008, try to find a post where I wasn't criticizing Bush. It's a bit unfair to force someone who criticizes Obama to defend Bush, especially when my opinion is that they are both horrible Presidents.
And I tried to state earlier this earlier, but I will say it explicitly. There are only 2 Republicans who understand Austrian economics and they are the Pauls. Other Republicans believe in other theories. For an example of how different these theories can be, go on youtube and find a debate between Laffer and Schiff.
By the way, what is the Austrian economics fallacy? Business cycles?
We should talk.
I've traveled a lot and I'm hoping to do more once my son is a bit older.
Feel free to PM me.

answer this myself... apparently they use I / 2100 as well.
Yeah, Voda has 2100 in the main cities and 900 elsewhere. Telecom has 850 nationwide, which is more suitable for a 3G(S) if you need to use it outside the main cities.

Office for Mac or Office for Windows? Easy decision.
I haven't opened VMWare Fusion for months, since I installed Office for Mac.
YMMV.
After dealing with the bugs in Excel 2011 for Mac, I have been running the PC version of Excel 2010 in Fusion ever since...it runs far faster on the VM than Excel for the Mac runs. There is no comparison.
I'll see if the update helps but I'm not expecting much.
Plus a lot of add-ins aren't available, but you can get Solver for Mac now.
To each his own, I just use the PC version because I can build large worksheets much faster in it. (using Fusion 3, Win7Pro, Excel 2010)

Wow. And travel agents are going to keep us from buying plane tickets online. More recently real estate agents aren't happy with online real estate brokering. Go figure. Instead of innovating and finding ways to adapt, they just complain and threaten. If they're not careful, they'll go the way of the travel agent...

It's a sound, "text message" box, and "badge" (a little number on the icon for the app). Or any combination that you choose.
It is not a traditional text message. It won't show up in your SMS, and you don't have to delete it. It's just a notification.

We just need a new chip - g5, power4, what ever. We need a chip that can go head to head against the Wintel world and not rely on 2 processors to try and keep up (and even now, this isn't working)
Its very frustrating and I hope Apple will all make us happy sometime soon.
