| Sick Of Irrelevant YouTube Recommendations? Here’s What You Need To Do Posted: 14 Sep 2013 01:00 PM PDT  YouTube isn’t completely evil. Yes, there are some undesirable features such as anonymous YouTube trolls, and there's the whole thing with Google sticking its hands into everyone's privacy through tracking. However, YouTube has done a lot of good — just compare the modern day interface with the interface from 2005 if you don’t believe me. And a lot of their features, though annoying, are good-intentioned. The YouTube Recommendations feature is one of them. A lot of people shame Google for their methods — even going as far as threatening to quit Google altogether. But if you think about it, it's a noble...

| 4 Ways Parents Can Educate Themselves On Video Games Posted: 14 Sep 2013 12:00 PM PDT  Playing video games is an insanely popular pastime for people of all ages, but particularly teenagers and young adults. It gives them an opportunity to blow off steam, relax, and let their minds wander as they troll a fellow gamer on the other side of the world. Video games are just another form of entertainment, no better or worse than television, movies, or music. However, some games are designed to be played by adults and not those under a certain age. And yet younger gamers will invariably get their hands on these titles somewhere, somehow. The only way parents can... Read the full article: 4 Ways Parents Can Educate Themselves On Video Games |

| The Crap Photographers Have To Deal With Posted: 14 Sep 2013 09:20 AM PDT  I feel sorry for photographers. People never seem to truly appreciate them for the work they do. Sure, it’s easy to whip out your smartphone, take a photo, add a filter, share it on Instagram and get a bazillion likes; that still doesn’t make you a photographer. To give you an idea of what photographers go through and the crap they have to deal with, The Shoppe designed a few typographical posters depicting the life of a shutterbug.

| Budding Photographer? Here’s Why You Should Be Shooting Raw Posted: 14 Sep 2013 09:00 AM PDT  Every digital SLR, prosumer and even some high-end point-and-shoot cameras have the ability to save images as raw image files. This isn’t just a higher quality of image, it’s a gift from the photography gods bestowed upon those of us lucky to live in an age of digital photography. And yet, so many squander their chance at getting into Valhalla by opting for JPEG instead. This needs to stop.
