"I absolutely LOVE this card, the quality is great and the colors are vibrant. Unfortunately I was in such a hurry to order that I didn't realize I had a spelling mistake :("
"I have received other cards from friends that have used Tiny Prints in the past and decided to get a head start on our Christmas cards. Our family loved the design of the Distinctly Happy holiday card and chose it which was not easy as there were so many other lovely designs. We are thrilled with our cards! The quality of the paper, design and text was professional, vibrant and of excellent quality. Could not be happier! We can't wait to share our cards this year with family and friends! Thanks Tiny Prints for making it all so easy to have personalized cards that look amazing!"
"I loved the design layout and fonts used. We printed three smaller photos on the back with short updates on our children for our family and friends."
"I picked the red background for the design and printed on metallic pearlized paper. The final product is awesome. It really showcased the family pictures for the year. The only suggestion I would have is to make the picture spaces at the back slightly bigger. They are pretty tiny. Great results and highly recommended it."
"I like to have multiple pictures on our cards. This one is nice because it offers different sized boxes for photos so you can frame pictures just right. The 5x7 size is good so pictures can be seen. The blue-gray color looks great! Tiny Prints always does a great job with quality cards, unlike some that we receive."

SSD stress testing finds Intel might be the only reliable drive manufacturer January 3, 2014 at 12:58 pm
A follow-up report on SSD failures finds that only Intel SSDs are standing up to repeated sudden power failures. When does this become a problem for consumer drives, and what can people do to protect themselves?
Apple's new 'overpriced' $10,000 Mac Pro is $2,000 cheaper than the equivalent Windows PC December 30, 2013 at 10:27 am
Last week, the new Mac Pro finally went on sale. At $3000 for the entry-level model, and a max price of $9,600 for a customized top-of-the-line model with a 12-core CPU and two GPUs, the Mac Pro certainly isn't cheap. If you take a closer look at the spec, though, the Mac Pro, rather unusually for an Apple product, is a surprisingly good deal. If you try to match the components as closely as possible, it would actually cost around $11,500 to build the equivalent Windows-powered DIY PC.
Apple's new Mac Pro goes on sale, can be configured to cost $10,000 December 19, 2013 at 12:52 pm
At long last, Apple's new, incredibly small Mac Pro is going on sale. From December 19 you'll be able to pick up an entry-level Mac Pro for $3000 (quad-core). The mid-range six-core model will set you back $4000. Pricing for the eight- and 12-core systems is not yet available, but a fully maxed out system — with two FirePro graphics cards and 1TB of solid-state storage — is expected to cost around $10,000.
The Start menu will return in new Desktop-optimized version of Windows 8.2 December 10, 2013 at 11:20 am
With Windows 8.1 out of the way, Microsoft has now begun work on Windows 8.2. According to sources close to the development Windows 8.2, dubbed Threshold, Microsoft will bring Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox One closer together — to the threshold, if you will, of being a fully unified OS. Furthermore, again according to insider sources, Windows 8.2 will introduce a "traditional desktop" SKU that is optimized for mouse-and-keyboard Desktop users and resurrects the original Start menu.

Dell UP2414Q: The 24-inch 4K monitor that finally brings 4K to the desktop PC, for $1400 December 2, 2013 at 2:15 pm
Rejoice, under-served desktop PC masses: Dell has leaked its plans to sell a 24-inch 4K desktop monitor, the UP2414Q. There's no word on pricing (I guarantee it will be at least $1,000), but specs-wise the 24-inch UP2414Q is truly awesome: 3840×2160, 10-bit color, 178-degree viewing angles, 99% of Adobe RGB, 100% sRGB, and factory calibrated color to Delta E less than two.
Microsoft moves to unify Windows, Windows Phone, Windows RT November 25, 2013 at 3:27 pm
Microsoft's head of devices, Julie Larson-Green, has foretold of a future where there aren't three versions of Windows. Most journalists are taking this to mean that Windows RT is at the end of its short and pitiful life. I think this is bigger than that, though: This is confirmation that all three of Microsoft's operating systems are going to be killed off, replaced with a new, consolidated and unified OS that spans phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops.
WD releases expensive, questionably useful SSD+HDD non-hybrid Black2 'dual drive' November 25, 2013 at 2:03 pm
Western Digital has just released the Black2 — 2.5-inch hard drive that combines a 1-terabyte hard disk drive and 120-gigabyte solid-state drive. Curiously, though, the WD Black-squared isn't a hybrid drive — it's two separate drives in a single, over-priced package, sharing the same SATA interface. WD seems to be using the phrase "dual drive" but "2-in-1″ and "combi-drive" are both pretty accurate. Due to this unique, SSD-riding-shotgun, non-hybrid setup, it's not immediately clear how WD wants you to use the Black2 — nor how big the performance gains actually are. For $300, though, we have high expectations.
Can you build a gaming PC better than the PS4 for $400? November 18, 2013 at 5:06 pm
As you probably know by now, the PS4 is essentially a $400 PC. It has an x86 PC CPU, a standard PC GPU, and the same kind of RAM that you'd find on a PC graphics card. There are a few custom chips on the PS4's motherboard, but for the most part it's just a normal PC with some custom software. This led me to wonder… could you actually build a comparable PC for $400? More importantly, given how Sony has crippled the PS4's home theatre functionality, is it possible to build a PC for $400 that is actually better for games and as a living room media box?

Celebrating this year's female high-fliers, Emily Blunt attended the 2012 Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards at Claridge's Hotel in London on Wednesday (October 31).
Keeping in mind the special day the event happened to fall on, the "Looper" star looked chic in a sleeveless long orange gown with a sparkly neckline and black clutch.
With her new movie "Looper" taking the box office by storm, Emily Blunt pitched in on promotions by covering the November 2012 issue of Harper's Bazaar Australia magazine.
She has always displayed an impressive range in her acting career, and now it seems Emily Blunt is all lined up for a superhero-sized role.
According to a report, the "Adjustment Bureau" babe is gearing up for a part in the forthcoming "The Avengers" sequel, though nothing has been made official just yet.
Amping up promotions for their latest film, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt sat down with Coming Soon during the Toronto International Film Festival to talk about "Looper."
The hype is steadily building for the release of "Looper," and earlier today IMP Awards unleashed two new international promotional posters.
Slated for a September 28th theatrical date, the sci-fi action flick boasts big names like Bruce Willis,
Giving fans a sneak peek before the September 28th release, Yahoo! Movies debuted a new featurette from the upcoming film "Looper."
The futuristic action movie takes place in 2072 when crime mobs have the capability of getting rid of somebody by sending someone 30 years in the past to kill them. In the sci-fi action flick, the mob seeks to "close the loop" by transporting Joe's future self back thirty years as a target for himself.
They're an odd couple in their new movie, but Emily Blunt and Colin Firth were the epitome of grace and charm at the premiere of "Arthur Newman."
The two stars wowed the Toronto International Film Festival crowds at The Elgin as they stopped to chat and sign autographs (September 10).
Celebrating the world premiere of the "Looper", the cast was out at the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday night (September 6).
