Controlling Depth of Field is probably the most important creative tool you have by using a DSLR....
Adobe Photoshop Camera Overview While the app has the word camera in the name, a more fitting name might be Adobe Filters. This app is jam-packed with installed and ready to install filters, which Adobe calls lenses.

Several factors impact your web browsing speeds, and domain name resolution is the first link in that chain. Domain resolution, in a nutshell, is the process of converting web addresses like Google.com or groovyPost.com into IP addresses, like 74.125.131.106 or 67.222.139.238. This process is handled by a Domain Name Service (DNS) server. By default, you’ll use a DNS server set up by your ISP. But as we’ve explained previously, there are often faster alternatives, such as OpenDNS and Google Public DNS....

It’s obvious by now that Google hates to be left in the cold when it comes to hot technology that consumers crave so we all knew it was just a matter of time before they created a solution for Google Users which would compete with other Sync Cloud Providers. The Google Drive or GDrive service has been rumored for several years now and it seems (according to more rumors) to be upon us as early as the first few weeks of April says Om Malik, quoting “sources” (Google, as per its tradition, says nothing about it)....
Actually, the patent was filed in 2008, but it’s caused quite a stir on the web today. The idea would be to use sensors to determine how a remote device is placed and then serve advertisements following that. The very detailed patent also includes information about how it could help sponsors configure their ad campaigns according to environmental conditions. I guess that means it probably won’t give you ads about Bible classes if it senses you’re in a bar (or maybe that’s exactly what you would get…)....

Basslines are often a bit tricky, because it’s tempting to start getting too fancy with it. The trick, really is to be simple. Most of the time, the bass is just an anchor for the rest of the music. It follows the root note of the chord progression. As with anything, this rule is not set in stone. I’ve seen basslines that create the lead part of the music. However, for the most part, it’s best to keep it simple....
