| The Evolution Of Batman Suit: The Bat Symbol Posted: 16 Jul 2014 07:30 PM PDT  The bat emblem on Batman’s suit sure has come a long way: from the simple bat silhouette in 1939, to the instantly recognisable oval black on yellow symbol worn by Adam West and Michael Keaton. Let’s not forget the abysmal exhibitionistic suit in Batman and Robin. Finally, we have the stunning black-on-black design seen in Christopher Nolan’s trilogy. Which is your favourite?

| What Is Your Favorite Kickstarter Of All Time? [We Ask You] Posted: 16 Jul 2014 06:30 PM PDT  Kickstarter has been in the news rather a lot lately. With increasing competition from Indiegogo, the crowdfunding site relaxed its rules regarding campaigns.

| 4 Bugs And Glitches In Video Games That Became Features Posted: 16 Jul 2014 12:00 PM PDT  “Working as intended.” It’s the iconic phrase uttered by developers who are too tired, too busy, or too apathetic to fix game glitches that they’d rather pass them off as intentional features. Usually this results in fanbase uproar, but there are a few key moments in gaming history that have been defined by such unintentional behavior. If every bug and glitch was properly quashed, it’s possible that we wouldn’t have games like Dota 2, Super Smash Brothers, Street Fighter, and more. At the very least they wouldn’t be as popular as they are today, but it’s also possible that entire... Read the full article: 4 Bugs And Glitches In Video Games That Became Features |
| The Best iPhone OCR Apps Tested Posted: 16 Jul 2014 11:00 AM PDT  For those of us dedicated to going paperless, the ability to scan documents and have the text recognized and converted to text is an essential time saver. There are many iOS apps that scan and manage documents, but apps with optical character recognition (OCR) are a little more difficult discern for their features and effectiveness. That’s why I tested seven different apps and shortlisted three for this review. Testing OCR For this article, I scanned the same document with each app under review, and the results of the scan can be seen in the included screenshots. For best results with OCR and text conversion,... Read the full article: The Best iPhone OCR Apps Tested |

| Portable Perfections You Must Play: The 10 Best PSP Games Of All Time Posted: 16 Jul 2014 09:00 AM PDT  The PlayStation Portable, more commonly known as the PSP, enjoyed a solid run of 10 years on sale. This handheld games console from Sony has now been succeeded by the PS Vita, but that doesn’t mean it’s no longer worth owning. Old games consoles never die, they just find their way onto eBay. There are hundreds of titles available for the PSP, most of which can be picked up on the cheap by those who know where to look.

What kind of content can you dig up, and why should you care? You’re about to find out. Rescue Old Web Content In the year 2012, quite a long time ago in Internet-time, I took a class that involved designing a timepiece, and blogging about the design process.

| Printing on Linux: Choosing The Right Printer and Getting It To Work Posted: 16 Jul 2014 06:00 AM PDT  One of the few pieces of hardware that may cause the most trouble on a Linux system is a printer (and scanner, if it comes with one). Thankfully, it’s not too difficult to check whether your printer is supported. Once you know that your printer is supported, it’ll take just a few steps to get it to work. With a printer that isn’t supported (whether there’s no driver already in the Linux kernel or whether the manufacturer doesn’t have any Linux drivers of its own), there’s nothing you can do to get it to work. There are very rare exceptions... Read the full article: Printing on Linux: Choosing The Right Printer and Getting It To Work |
