I’ve been annoyed from Lightroom starting up every time I insert a flash drive into my computer. Apparently the fix was simple and only took 3 mins, including the time I needed to find the solution online.
All you need to do is :
and thats it! You’ll no longer be harassed from Lightroom Every time you enter a memory card or connect your phone to charge on your computer.

Making your site load faster is one of the key things you should focus on! Visitors hate sites that take forever to load, and site ranking engines take the load time into consideration when ranking the website overall.
Lets get to it:
1. Remove, disable, uninstall unwanted/unnecessary plugins:
Some plugins require so much data to be fetched from the database that they make the site load time double or even triple. Try to reduce using plugins that will query the database all the time.
2. Use Caching
Caching speeds up the load time, by having parts of your website stored on visitor’s computers. I’d recommend W3 Total Cache, its simple and straight forward and you can find how to set it up with a simple search.
3. Don’t use too many videos on your blog posts.
Although the file might not be stored on your web server, usually video files will load with websites within iframes. I.e. when the page loads, also the video will load, even though not watched.
4. Use CDN’s (Content Delivery Networks)
What are they? Well in easy terms, CDNs replicate your images and files and allow you to point to the replicas in order to load your site from many different servers, thus allowing many simultaneous connections to load the site. We currently use AWS (from Amazon) and that allowed us to be able to load images from up to 8 different servers, minimizing the loading time and allowing for faster downloading of all our website’s content.

Sometimes its just not worth it to carry around your DSLR and take it with you to events or small things like going to the arcades with your children or when you’re going out casually. Especially that camera phones don’t have a fast enough shutter speed and most of the photographs you take will be either shaken or too dark.
One thing caught my eye when I was reading around this morning was the Samsung Ex2f. A new prosumer point and Shoot camera that offers quite a lot that will most probably solve my problem when trying to shoot in Arcades using real lights and no flash!

Here’s a creative ad made on the Ex2F.

I received my FitBit Ultra a couple of days ago from Borderlinx. Here are a couple of advantages of the FitBit over the Nike Fuel Band:
As you can see above, I didn’t have very good sleep last night :'( .
If you’re not in a hurry I’d suggest you wait for the newer FitBit model which will be released on the 25th of October, the FitBit One.
Here’s a comparison video I found , it shows some of the major differences too:

I was looking around for a way to delete all the photos on my iPhone, its no longer my primary phone, since I now use the HTC One X. However, wanting to try out the new iOS 6 I decided to clear out all the photos that i have (backing them up first) and then deleting everything.
It’s not so clear as select all and delete (on the iPhone that is) however I found 2 cool options online and wanted to share them with you:
”
This should work in all versions of Windows:
Removing pictures from the iPhone this way through Windows is significantly faster than it is from Mac OS X, probably because Windows treats it like a file system rather than a photo manager.”
“Just found a much easier way using ‘preview’ with mac. Plug your iphone into the USB, Go to Preview/File/Import Image, and your phone should pop up. Select all photos with Command+A, or pick individual photos to delete.
Then in Preview, click edit, and DELETE.
That, and I didn’t get the little red () button the author mentioned in step 3 for mac. I couldn’t do it with this method and I’m using OSX 10.5.8
Just deleted over 900 Pictures and videos in under 10 mins.”

A couple of weeks ago I found a reason to use my Nikon D7000 to photograph quite an exquisite car! It was a Ferrari Italia 458 with Full carbon fiber interior, red seats.. Just Amazing (ما شاء الله ) . The car simply is a photographers dream, it was around 40 degrees, and the location wasn’t all that great, but it was an amazing car that was a pleasure to shoot!
Btw: This car is offered for sale! If you’re seriously interested please call

If you haven’t ordered it by now, it would be important for you to know that there are 3 different models to choose from. One GSM models and one CDMA + GSM combination.
The one that will work in Asia and Kuwait would be the A1429 GSM Model (+ future LTE compatibility maybe -the A1428 USA (GSM and LTE) would work on GSM but not maybe not LTE – future network to be available in Kuwait) ! However the only thing is that it is not clear how to differentiate between the two models when ordering, especially if you are ordering from the UK store.
I would recommend calling them up to verify that the model is the A1429 GSM version (not CDMA). I would also recommend waiting to hear more from the local carriers, as it would not be wise to invest in handsets that would not support the LTE network that would be available in the coming months in Kuwait (Hopefully).
I didn’t order it yet and decided to wait to try it out. Not ready to part with my HTC One X yet.
Price wise? Its not very wise to buy it from the UK apple store since you’ll be paying 100 GBP in VAT which i feel is too much and adds an extra 40 KD to the price of the phone. Is there any other store you tried buying from ? I hear Hong Kongs apple store are the cheapest, but we would need a HK mail forwarding company. Did anyone try buying from there?
