We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
thats like saying your moving from california to idaho for a better selection of produce.
Since Macs run just about everything people use Windows for (Office, E-mail, calendars, accounting, etc.), and can run almost all *nix software, they are the #1 platform for variety of software choice. There isn't even room for debate.
Those commercials would be so great right now. Have ones of people getting viruses, or spyware problems, or just the usual PC headaches too. Apple's got a great platform, they need to ADVERTISE it.
So they are using full blown Macs for a cash register, attaching a laser printer for receipts and certificates and running some specific software. Seems to me a cheaper solution might be found using a dumber device and a web app or two.
My guess why they went for Apple is probably because Darwin is bassed on BSD and the source is available. It may not be open in the sence that Linux is but it is more open then Microsoft ever will be.
Also, with Apple meing a majoe vendor they have a certain sence of security when it coemes to future support. Apple have a better chance of sticking around than some shop making custom Linux boxes
but the build quality is excellent
My two-week-old 12" Powerbook has a broken keyboard and Airport Extreme card. Excellent build quality my ass
Nothing like inside information to set all the wild theorising in slashdot to rest. Oh yeah. Slashdot. Sorry, continue the wild speculations!
Another reason the iMac's moveable screen was such a hit was that it allows the RTA staffmember to show the customer an image of their licence photo before the licence is printed, which happens at the registry. (New South Wales driving licences are pinted on demand on a plastic card the same size and thickness as a credit card, and include a passport style picture. A transparent holographic image is then laminated on top to make them harder to forge.)
But if YOU were given a spec that looked like this: Replace our EOL'ed Javastations, must have
LCD screen on movable arm
fast, reliable Java implementation
strongly prefer UNIX
can't be Windows
Easy integration with head office wintel software a bonus
Would you pick anything but an iMac?

Been accused of witchcraft? We were alerted to a wonderful chart that was posted to the Lapham's Quarterly web site. Lapham's Quarterly is an excellent magazine of history and ideas. The chart they posted is a handy reference flowchart that details how to "avoid the ultimate punishment with this guide from the 1486 witch-hunting manual, the Malleus Maleficarum". Needless to say, we found it fascinating (and kind of funny, in a twisted sort of way).
So, You've Been Accused of Witchcraft

Soon: Alerts to shoppers based on tracking of their shopping pattern at mall
Published on Aug 12, 2014 3:57 PM
SINGAPORE - Shoppers could be getting phone alerts for deals they are interested in based on their shopping patterns at 313@somerset mall in the near future.
Personalised deals - such as discounts for specific types of shirts and dresses - could be sent to shoppers by coupling users' personal details, such as age, with collected data such as which stores they visit, how long they stay in the shops and how often they visit the retailers.
This tracking will be done through the mall's existing shopping app, Tring 313. But mall manager Lend Lease said at a media briefing on Tuesday in the shopping centre that there are no firm plans on when this feature of the app will be released.
While this kind of tracking might raise privacy concerns and creep out some consumers, Lend Lease assured that it was for users to opt in for it.

Bandwidth's inetwork division, the leading choice for innovative and scalable voice, 9-1-1 and SMS solutions, announced it selected Voxeet as the grand prize winner of the company's Voice App Igniter Challenge, developed to discover the next disruptive voice and messaging application. As the Challenge winner, Voxeet will receive up to $600,000 in IP communications services from inetwork. Voxeet will use this investment to support its efforts to replace outdated, traditional audio conferencing solutions with its breakthrough Natural Conferencing app. Bandwidth's inetwork recognizes the power phone numbers bring to social media, gaming and other applications people use daily, significantly shifting perceptions about a phone number's capabilities. This shift promises to significantly alter current perceptions about a phone number's capabilities. The company takes this metamorphosis into play as it provides users the freedom to launch and scale innovative communications solutions across a variety of platforms. While offering Voice, 9-1-1, and SMS services from a single source, the user-friendly customer portals allow real time updates backed by a reliable and responsive service team; customers include heavy hitters such as Skype, Google Voice and Pinger. For companies and application developers like these, voice is not an end unto itself but a component of something bigger, hence the new term "OTT Voice."
Voxeet (www.voxeet.com) has developed an affordable business-quality teleconference service that delivers crystal-clear sound, simultaneous conversations and visual and audio cues to identify who is talking on a call. The company has boldly entered a competitive, crowded and mature market and offers one of the first comprehensive alternatives to teleconference giants such as GoToMeeting and WebEx.
"We have spent years on tireless research and development to create a web conferencing solution that is truly different from everything else on the market today. The awarded services from The Voice App Igniter Challenge speeds our time-to-market and validates all of our hard work," said Stéphane Giraudie, CEO and founder, Voxeet. "Bandwidth's inetwork will help propel us the next level and make Voxeet ubiquitous, while helping millions of people enjoy natural conversations - dramatically improving their collaboration experiences."
The Voice App Igniter Challenge supports Voxeet's goal of becoming a ubiquitous, universal application. The IP communications services from Bandwidth's inetwork will help Voxeet extend its technology to support access from landlines and cell phones to completely replace old-style audio conferencing. This support propels Voxeet to another level, so that millions of people can enjoy natural conversations and dramatically improve their collaboration experience. Now anyone can call into a Voxeet conference call - even if they don't have a Voxeet account. With Voxeet's PC version already available, its Android and iPhone app being released today, and Voxeet's Mac version in development, Voxeet is about to become a true cross-platform application.
"Since our founding, we have helped some of the biggest names in telecom, such as Skype, Google, Pinger and Marchex, get their voice and messaging applications off the ground, but were still blown away by the high-caliber submissions we received," said Steve Leonard, executive vice president and general manager of Bandwidth's inetwork division. "With our awarded services, Voxeet will undoubtedly disrupt the web conferencing market and change the perception of virtual meetings."
"We launched the Voice App Igniter challenge to invigorate and inspire the developer community and we were impressed with sophisticated entries that created new uses for phone numbers. Our inetwork team was overwhelmed by the level of engagement and enthusiasm surrounding Voxeet's entry and we are anxious to learn how the prize of phone services will help continue to fuel their innovative applications." - Steve Leonard, executive vice president and general manager.
Participants in The Voice App Igniter Challenge submitted their groundbreaking ideas via a short video or written narrative explaining their new way to use a phone number. In addition, participants were asked to demonstrate how their solution would change the world if granted an ability to assign up to one million phone numbers. Each submission was reviewed by an internal panel that took innovation and creativity into account, coupled with the enthusiasm within the community via "likes," "shares" and comments.
inetwork, a division of Bandwidth, gives people the freedom to launch and scale innovative communication services requiring voice, 9-1-1, and SMS. Its purpose-built IP network, industry- leading web-based tools, custom open source development, and competitive pricing provide customers with an easier way to meet their communications needs. inetwork customers benefit from its flexible solutions, nimble operating environment, and responsive customer support. inetwork leverages its parent company's interconnected footprint (one of the largest in the nation), 49 state CLEC status, and financial strength to meet customers' voice origination and termination, toll free, SMS and 9-1-1 call routing needs, each with customizable deployment options, pricing models, and features.

Border guards seize pot, art and weapons in November
A handgun, nine grams of marijuana, "nunchaku weapons" and nearly $20,000 worth of silk-screened artwork were among the items seized in separate incidents by Manitoba's border guards in November.
The Canadian Border Services Agency said its Manitoba border crossings processed 214,600 people entering Canada last month, including 82,000 at the busiest crossing in Emerson.
Incidents at the Emerson crossing included the seizure of two "limited edition serigraph prints" that had been declared as having a value of $2,960.
Subsequent investigation by border guards determined the artwork, made by a silk-screening technique, had an actual value of $18,992, and the importer was fined $8,946.
On Nov. 21, Emerson guards seized a courier shipment headed to Calgary that contained four "nunchaku weapons," often known colloquially as "nunchucks." These weapons are prohibited for importing to Canada, the CBSA said.
The same day in Boissevain, border guards found nine grams of marijuana in the truck of two Manitoba men returning from a trip to North Dakota. The contraband was found in the truck's tool box. The driver was arrested for smuggling prohibited goods into Canada.
At the Tolstoi border crossing on Nov. 29, guards found an unloaded 40 caliber pistol hidden behind the seats of a truck driven by two Nebraska residents. The weapon was seized, the driver was fined $1,000 and the pair was turned away from Canada.

Comments about Volume Powder:
This product is amazing for my hair, which is straight, fine and thinning due to age (oh joy). No other volumizing hair product I've ever used is its equal. I'm 50 and trust me, I've used just about every product that claims it's volumizing. This is very expensive, and I wish it weren't so or I'd use it more. But holy mackarel, it's great. I use on dry hair by flipping my head over and spraying it SPARSELY in various locations by the roots. Then I let it dry with my head upsidedown for a sec or two, and take a large pick and lightly tease various sections. Flip my head back over and straighten it out. It stays full and fluffy. Miraculous for my hair, let me tell you! Sachajuan Volume Powder gives it just the right amount of texture, but be careful to only use it conservatively.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Normal Hair Hydratant:
This is more than I normally pay for a conditioner, but this turned out to be one of the best I've ever used. I have curly/frizzy hair that I frequently blow dry and use hot iron on. Wow...this conditioner left my hair soft, tangle free and smelling subtlety fragrant. Don't have to use much either.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant,
This review is from: Volume 3 (MP3 Download)
She & Him just get better and better. I have noticed a transition between the first volume, the second volume and the third volume. Volume One has a very sweet tone to it and reminds me, personally, of childhood. This is then complimented by the album artwork. Volume Two feels a bit more grown up, as if the music had morphed into the tone of adolescence. Again, complimented by the album artwork. And now Volume 3. Volume 3 is very sophisticated and Zooey sings generally lower than she does in the other two albums. There is an atmosphere of maturity produced by her stunning vocals and the music, particularly the use of piano, reflects this perfectly.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fourth time is a charmer,
This review is from: Volume 3 (MP3 Download)
With Volume 1, 2 and their A very She and Him Christmas Album behind us, it's no surprise that the 60's throwback style might be wearing thin for some.
But that's not really the case. Unlike the previous efforts by the retro duo, this album flows with a stronger theme and seems to have a beginning and end - rather than feeling like highlights from a bygone era.
Vol.3 feels almost reminiscent of Sonny and Cher, the album resonates the highs and lows of life with an echo and that constant humdrum beat. All in all, it feels like the first effort that may have become more than just a nostalgic musical journey, but rather a new rendering in a style that the two have clearly become champions at.
Clearly it's bound for success among the growing fan community.

Irish captain Robbie Keane's winter of discontent might end should he decide to up sticks from London and head north of the border to play on loan with Glasgow Celtic.
The Times of London reported that a deal might be done if Irish financier Dermot Desmond, who owns 37 per cent of the Scottish club, will loosen the purse strings to facilitate Keane's hefty wage demands.
Keane has struggled to break in to the Spurs team this year due to the Jermain Defoe/ Pater Crouch partnership that has been manager Harry Redknapp's preferred front pairing.
The question is, should Keane, a Celtic fan, head north to revitalize his career? Granted, he might get more playing time, but is the SPL the standard of play he really wants to drop to at this stage of his career?
With all due respect to the Bhoys, the financial constraints that have been placed on manager Tony Mowbray, and the consequent drop in quality of player he can bring to the club means that the Bhoys are a distinctly average outfit in a distinctly average league.
With Roman Pavlyuchenko the most likely to leave Spurs in the January window, Redknapp might not even want to leave the Irishman go.
Also, can Keane really complain that he is not starting now? Kranjcar is in great form, Defoe is top scorer in the Premier League, and Crouch offers the big-man-up-top option.
Also, Keane himself has struggled to find the form that made him Spurs captain and his displays so far this season have not made a strong case for his inclusion in Spurs' best eleven.
I think it is time for him to knuckle down where he is. Keane is Premier League player - English, not Scottish, and that is where he should stay.

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Is there some standard glass sheet size? Because the glass in the soundproof windows behind me will be significantly thicker than the glass in the monitor in front of me (do they still use glass for those?)
It's advanced, secure and will scale from embedded devices to handhelds to desktops to servers.
If they were smart, they'd call it something other than Windows. The horse is dead. Stop flogging it, already, MS.
That's getting into Nostradamus territory. Seriously, three years in the computing world is a very long horizon.
As for making a prediction like that to the press, Buxton is just asking for trouble. I don't know what it is about MS R&D, but they seem to be unable to keep themselves from making promises they can't keep, and generating interesting ideas that never make it to market.
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?

"Labuk Bay" Borneo Off The Beaten Path Tip by kyoub
Borneo Off The Beaten Path: 4 reviews and 9 photos
One of the highlights of our trip was going out to Labuk Bay to see the Proboscis Monkeys.
It is for sure off the beaten path. It is 38KM from the Sandakan airport and it takes a good hour to drive there. The roads are mostly gravel and jeep tracks, not to mention the truck traffic with their loads coming from the palm plantations.
When we arrived we were served a drink of our choice by a very sweet waitress. She explained that if we would take a seat over near the balcony that the monkeys would be arriving shortly.
We could see some tree limbs across the way and a large board laying on the ground.
Then we saw a man walking out to the board with a platter of pancake. He placed them on the board and left. Soon we could see movement in the trees and monkeys coming down to the ground. Before long the board was full of monkeys having a picnic. We were told that the one large male has 22 wives and many off springs.
They went and sat on the tree limbs and groomed themselves after they ate and some of the younger ones went down to the waters edge to pick shoots to eat..
The Proboscis monkey is only found on the island of Borneo.

These many benefits have trendy women turning to stainless steel rings when they need a bit of extra shine and texture.
Top 10 Sterling Silver Jewelry Styles
Sterling silver is a fabulous metal for jewelry of all kinds. Sterling silver is a composition of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent metal alloy.

How to Buy Sterling Silver Jewelry

It's also used to produce and embellish serving dishes, sculptures, frames, and many other household items.

How to Choose a Ring for a Man
A ring is a very personal gift, and choosing one for a man takes some careful consideration. Men's rings come in simple designs for men who prefer to keep their bling subtle, as well as flashy designs for men who love to accessorize with statement jewelry. Many men limit their jewelry to a wedding band, and others enjoy accessorizing with several rings and matching men's jewelry selections such as necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Plan ahead before you go ring shopping for the man in your life and consider several factors when choosing men's rings and men's wedding bands.
Best Citrine Fashion Rings
Citrine brings a range of yellow and gold hues to the jewelry world. This fabulous gemstone looks great when paired with neutrals or warm hues.

You can wear citrine rings with grey jeans, crisp white tops, black trousers, or vintage pastel dresses. Citrine is a yellow type of quartz, and though it can hold its own against the most beautiful gemstones, it is not prohibitively overpriced like some jewelry can be. Citrine is the perfect gemstone for fashion rings that you wear casually; it will glow in any light and stylishly accessorize both modern and retro outfits.
How to Compare Men's Diamond Rings
The diamond is definitely not gender-specific. Men can wear diamond rings to commemorate important occasions or simply add to their fashion.

Take some time to learn about diamonds and to choose a style that appeals to you. You can compare men's diamond rings with confidence when you know what you want.
Gemstone Jewelry Buying Guide
Gemstone jewelry both accessorizes our fashion choices and lets us show off a little. Although the accessories can be casual, like a birthstone ring worn every day, or extravagant, like a ruby and diamond necklace saved for special occasions, sterling silver and gold are still the preferred metals for gemstone jewelry, making each piece a small luxury.

I was first introduced to Greene & Co almost 20 years ago. On each occasion I have had to use them I have felt even more vindicated in going back. A truly excellent service in every respect. The advisor really takes the time to explain everything in detail, more especially in layman terms that my wife and I can understand. Goes through every eventuality, risk, benefit, cost, implication etc. Always want what is best for the client. In every interaction I have had I have always come away feeling Greene & Co is really on my side and simply wants me to be better off and ensure I have the best product for my needs.

Here's this weekend's brew. It'll be my 4th AG. After this, I plan to do a Scotch Ale and some other British ales and will be getting a 50 lb. bag of Marris Otter. So, I'm just cleaning out what's left of my Rahr 2-row, some leftover specialty grains, stealing from Grand Teton Brewings Wicked Bitch ESB clone recipe in the current (8/05) issue of BYO, and adding honey.
Ran her through ProMash and I think its an ESB! Let 'er rip!
Recipe 2005 by Mark Pannell
6 lbs. Rahr American 2-row pale malt (1.8-L)
3 lbs. German Pilsner malt (1.5-L)
12 oz. U.S. crystal malt, 2-row (40-L)
12 oz. German Munich malt (5.5-L)
8 oz. U.S. crystal malt, 2-row (60-L)
8 oz. 2-Row Belgian CaraPils (5.9-L)
4 oz. U.S. crystal malt, 2-row (10-L)
2 oz. torrified barley (2.2-L)
2 oz. Simpsons chocolate malt, 2-row (425-L )
Bittering hops:
.10 oz. Columbus [15.0% AAU] (45 mins.)
.10 oz. Chinook [12.5% AAU] (45 mins.)
.10 oz. Nugget [12.5% AAU] (45 mins.)
Flavoring hops:
.20 oz. Columbus [15.0% AAU] (30 mins.)
.15 oz. Chinook [13.0% AAU] (30 mins.)
.15 oz. Nugget [12.5% AAU] (30 mins.)
Finishing hops:
.35 oz. Columbus [15.0% AAU] (15 mins.)
.25 oz. Chinook [13.0% AAU] (15 mins.)
.25 oz. Nugget [12.5% AAU] (15 mins.)
1.0 oz. Columbus [15.0% AAU] (5 mins.)
.60 oz. Columbus [15.0% AAU] (0 mins.)
Misc. Flavorings:
1 lb. clover honey (5 mins.)
Dry hops:
.5 oz. Columbus [15.0% AAU]
Fining agent:
1 tsp. Irish moss (15 mins.)
White Labs WLP028 Edinburgh Ale yeast (from starter)
Primary: 5 days at 67o F
Secondary: 14 days at 67o F
Total boil: 90 minutes
Heat 3.06 gallons of water to ~172o F. Mash grains at ~156o F for 90 minutes. Recirculate until clear, ~20 minutes.
Sparge with ~4.5 gallons of 170o F water. Add hops and Irish moss to schedule above. Cool wort to ~70o F and pitch yeast. Add dry hops at secondary. Bottle when beer falls clear. Prime with 1-1/4 cups plain light DME.
Damn stong for an ESB, and one hell of an elaborate hop bill! Not terribly bitter.... looks to me like a malty IPA.
I like the looks of that....I could make a nice, aromatic IPA outta that by modifying the hop bill a litte. Look at all those beautiful Columbus hops.
Ought to be a neat beer.....best of luck with it!
Thanks! Yeah, I thought, WTF - I'll make a 'Frankenstein' ale! Normally, I'd up the hops, but I'm sticking to the additions in BYO, only changing the hop type. Plus, 4 of the last 5 beers I've made were hoppy. I think my palate needs a break.
This looks like an extremely good recipe but is a little bit more complicated than I can understand at the moment. I notice you wack close to 4oz hops in your brews but here it seems to be more toward the end of the boil. Do you think that finishing/aroma hops is an important part of beer making? i only put 2oz in my batch the other day but you seem to require more than this.
In this case, I'm really sticking to the additions in the BYO clone recipe. I thought, "Man, this is complicated!" when I read it. For hoppy beers, which I've been doing a lot of lately, yes I think the late additions are nice, especially to bring out the aroma.
Things will be a lot different now that I'll be doing Scotch ales and the like. For example, the Scotch ale will have only have two hop additions, both .75 oz. of EKGs at 45 mins. and 35 mins. And that's all!
Hmm, I quite like the idea of IPA's. It is very satisfying for the brewer to smell the hops in the bucket but I have found that add it too early in the boil and the batch tastes vile.
That's also why I usually dry hop IPAs - really brings out the aroma. I like to smell it as it enters the bottling bucket! That smell...smells like...... victory.
Your beer smells like napalm?
[/I] Up Next - HobgoblinAfter That - Czech PilsnerPrimary - Humboldt Hop Rod (4/24)Primary - NOT Wheat AG SNCA (5/5)Secondary - Conditioning - SNCA Clone (3/3),
I was waiting for someone to comment on that! LOL
Bottling this right now. It smells great - nice, subtle, citrusy aroma from the Columbus hops. It has a deep golden color - think SNPA. OG was 1.070, FG is 1.012 (~8% ABV). Haven't tasted it yet; I'm letting it chill and settle after taking the OG reading. Will post an update in the future!

Via Accidental Bear: Colby Melvin, Quinn Jaxon and a host of other hotties are decking your halls with boughs of holly, aka, prancing about in CheapUndies...
The Quinn Jaxon video—it's got outrageously explicit nudity throughout, so is (Work Unfriendly)—Up Close and Personal is a better way to spend an hour than binge-watching Game of Thrones, I promise.
As I work on my upcoming books Starf*cker (Lethe Press, spring 2015) and Encyclopedia Madonnica: 20th Anniversary Edition (spring 2015), please feel free to sample my 99-cent collection of gay erotica from the '90s, Young and Horny.
Friend me on Facebook, follow my blog's Facebook page, follow me on Twitter, follow my sexy-guys-on-the-street Instagram, check me out on Vimeo and—if you're okay with (Work Unfriendly) material—you can indulge in my X-rated Tumblr.
I love that it looks like people are staring at this and commenting on it like it's an art exhibit.

Quinn Jaxon assumes the position.
Two of the gayest-yet-still-straight straight boys on the Internet—Jamie Stroud and Quinn Jaxon—submit to a little experiment conducted by GLAAD scientist Davey Wavey: Can two straight guys hug without getting all weird 'n' shit?
Interestingly, Quinn brings up the fact that a lot of straight penises will, in fact, respond if manually enticed:
"If you rub up the wrong way, it's just gonna go. It's a blood-flow thing!"
But having spent an afternoon totally alone, just me, my cash-filled wallet and a naked and semi-hard Quinn, I can tell you that I believe him when he says he's not only straight, but not gay for pay. Jamie, on the other hand, has been nailed by dudes on camera, so while he may well be a straight dude who has done gay stuff for cash, I think his inclusion here somewhat dilutes the experiment!
But all three are adorable...
I'd love to go a few rounds with Matt Terry...
Here is another in my running series of roundups (the first here, the second here, the third here), meant to highlight some of social media's hottest show-offs. They're usually aspiring or accomplished models or actors, but I'm also interested in un-shy narcissists who make persuasive visual cases as to why we should look.
As always, hit me up with your suggestions for guys I can profile in the future, and be sure to follow my own sexed-up Instagram just for (naughty) fun. Actually, my Tumblr (Work Unfriendly) is where the real action is at.

Hi everyone...
This image has a bit of a story. At the beginning, I just wanted to model a teddy bear. Then, I saw the beautiful fractal by Vivian (Tresamie), "In The Pink, And Blue", and immediately asked her permission to use it, like I did many times in the past with her works. But her work is - as usual - so gorgeous that I felt compelled to build a whole room around it. At the beginning I wanted to do a baby's room, then I had some fun modeling teenage things like the skateboard, and littlekiddie things like the tin duck... and it dawned on me: there is a time, in our life, when we're just suspended between childhood and the first puberal hormonic storms, and I think there has been a month or two, in the life of everyone of us, in which our room depicted just that. The Age of Transition. Child toys along with the first film posters, the Muppet Show along with the first serious novels and books... and so on.
So, I ended trying to render just that. And, of course, the teddy bear (name's Fluffy, hence the lettercubes) was the worst model of the whole bunch :) [but, hey, that duck! I just love it... I think it will return in some future images]. At the end, 10 days of pure fun in my discover of XSI, and this is just why 3D is so wonderful to me. Almost like writing.
And now some bits-and-pieces for those among you who had the good heart to read so far, LOL. The wonderful fractal on the wall, of course, is by Vivian (if you still don't know her works, check her gallery, she goes here under the name "tresamie", and after you've been there I bet you'll owe me a favor). But also the cover of the big book on the far table is another Tresamie's fractal. The books on the shelves (they're far, I know), are Stephen King, Patrick McGrath, Janet Taylor Lisle and my personal clone of Sophie Kinsella. On the bedstand, near the lamp... er, that is my last published novel :). The skateboard graffiti is a photo taken by my brother in New York a couple of weeks ago that I cropped, skewed and adjusted in Photoshop (I thought that "believe in yourself" was too cool for a kid's skateboard, LOL). Plus, here and there you can find many things I really love: Spider-Man, the Muppets, the Magic Roundabout, Pixar's and Dreamworks' 3D movies and so on.
I modeled from scratch everything you can see, I mean every single object, because I desperately need to practice and develop some sort of skills (the only exception is the plant, an old model I made with Maya PaintFX a couple of years ago). Some wonderful reference pictures (for free!) I found at www.afterimage.com - go take a look, it's incredibly useful. Plus, I fell in love with Dosch Industrial Design Textures (what a gift, thanks Anna!), which are used throughout the whole image. The floor texture is by (the Great) Lemog, some other textures are taken from "World Matters" DVD by SubDimension Studios. The child drawings on the walls are from the web... artists anonymous, alas!
Done. I wonder if you're still reading, LOL. If you are, hey, thank you for your patience and... one last thing :)
This was mostly an exercise in modeling and lighting. Tear it apart, please. I used an infinite light for the sun (with cookies to simulate the windows), 5 no-shadow bluish fill spots for the skylight around the room, one exclusive spotlight to "glue" to the ground some objects which were desperately floating (ball, skateboard, duck, letterD etc). Rendered with Global Illumination with 250K photons with very low intensity and very high accuracy, it took 50 minutes to come out as you see it: no postwork or compositing.
Now I'll go, before someone begins to throw me things. :)
Have a wonderful week, and really thanks a lot for passing by. Critical comments preferred.

I recognized 'Ruggine' instantly :). Thanks for using my fractal so brilliantly! Your lighting is impeccable as always.

the image is actually pretty good in terms of composition. i'd just make the lighting a bit more dramatic :)

Wonderful image and the thought/detail (and effort) in it is great. Last published novel (do tell!) The only issue I have is the bed does not seem to be casting a shadow on the floor. And the shadows cast by the widow light on the wall do not match the other objects in the scene. Drop me an IM to discuss if you want.

I do remember this time in my life and I love the way you've depicted it. My only crit would be the lack of shadow under the bed and that the door looks kind of strange, not entirely sure why but it seems somehow disconected from it's surroundings. Other than these little things it is a lovely image, a beautiful memory of earlier ages. 8)
