I did a great photo shoot last sunday, nude pics of a beautiful woman, not nude as xXx but nude as graceful…
That was my first real nude photo-shoot, it needs time and confidence to have both relaxed, forgetting nudity, just playing and taking good shoots (I am happy and proud to have some), to feel at ease, and finally to go through this nudity to come back to her personality. Nude, but her not it’s body.
Even Marylin Monroe do nude photos, it’s nothing perverse or pornographic, it’s like unressing someone to it’s soul… You have to uncover your’s too…
But the point is that for a 2 hours shoot session, this is at least twice the time to sort pictures and then develop using Lightroom to go from digital files to intimate prints…

Samsung presente the new SpinPoint M7: 500GB 5400rpm hard-drive for laptops, ou MacBook or MacBook Pro.
Samsung offered 500GB hard-drive for laptop, the M6 at 5400rpm, so what’s the point?
The point is they use density to simplify the hard-drive, using 2 platters on the M7 instead 3 for the M6, and this is a huge shift in the hard-drive market : they will be able to offer 750GB hard-drive for laptop using 3 platters of 250GB each, they prefer to reduce the capacity to simplify M7 hardware, one simple disk with one or 2 sides used, from 120GB to 500GB.
Now the hard-drive manufacturer aren’t trying to compete on speed and capacity, but on price. They want to bargain they products, this is the end for their business!

While Intel offers 4-cores mobile processors up to 2.53Ghz for a year, based on core2 technology, Apple doesn’t make the move, probably due to power consumption of these chips, that will impair autonomy and pose problems for heat dissipation on the slim MacBook Pro.
Intel’s just announced a new linup of 4-core processors, based on a technology derived from the one used in the new MacPro, that proved to be impressively fast even at lower clock speed. But the real novelty is that the consumption is really low, with less than 35W at 2.0Ghz.
The MacBook Pro line up will benefit from these Clarksfield processors at 1.73Ghz, 2.0Ghz and a 2.26Ghz (option), with 4 physical cores and 8 logical threads, with a clear benefit for Pro users that use multithreaded softwares, the new MacBook Pro will offer up to 2X the speed of the actual models!!!
Even if Apple may deliver early, seems the new MacBook Pro will be there during may or early june.
Technical Footnote:
The Clarksfield processors integrate the fastest DDR3 controller, offering the ability to offers 12GB RAM configuration on laptops with 3 DDR3-4GB DIMM, that’s a big plus.
It -also- integrates a graphic controller, but it seems that Apple decides to use only the GeForce 9600M, the Intel chip being insufficient to drive correctly internal and external screens for professional use.

7500 simultaneous user online, 3000Mb/s, I am the CTO of a big website that is ranked 3rd on it’s market, and we plan to go to the 2nd place within the next months.
My technology is LAMP: Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, while we also use FreeBSD for our firewalls, LigHTTPD for internal transfers of data (seems weird, we have to get ride of it), and many other Open-Source technologies that are better than proprietary ones.
Naturally, to develop, design, integrate, we use Macs.
The CEO have a black MacBook, and a 24″ iMac at home, the designer use a MacPro with 20″ Apple Display, the developpers use MacBook Pro, MacBook, and only one is stuck with a Windows PC, and for myself I use my MacBook Pro.
This is a Mac company
