Christian Bale: No More Batman Movies for me
Christian Bale, who plays Bruce Wayne
and Batman on Christopher Nolan’s films, has announced that he won’t be
doing any more Batman movies in the future.
The 37-year-old Bale joined Batman director Christopher Nolan to re-do the graphic novel in 2005. The first film “Batman Begins” earned $372M in the box office, while the 2008 sequel “The Dark Knight” reached $1B. The third film “Dark Knight Rises” hits theaters on July 20 next year.

In a recent interview, Bale describes
co-star Anne Hathaway’s role as the toughest of all, saying “There are a
number of people who feel that the Catwoman role has been defined
previously. So, I always saw Anne’s role as being the toughest job of
any of us.”
He announced the end of filming for the
third film, saying “I wrapped a few days ago so that will be the last
time I’m taking that Batman hood off. I believe that the whole
production wrapped yesterday, so it’s all done.”

- “What is the best camera for photography?”
- “Which camera should I buy?” OR
- “What’s the best camera in my price range?”etc…
Comparing best camera is a lot like
comparing apples to apples at the time of purchasing. Faced with a large
pile of apples, how do you pick the best one for you? You can pick from
a variety of apples because you know exactly what you like (i.e.
crunchy, tart, green, and no spots). Finding the best camera is not very
different. But you need to think on some points which will help to
choose the best. It should help you pick out the best digital camera for you:
- Discover your Inner Photographer
- Let’s start with a Self-Assessment.
Think of this exercise as finding your photographic sign. Once you know your sign, it will be easier for you to find a camera
you’re companionable with. Now we are going to next section, a list of a
variety of photographic styles. See if one of them appeals to you more
than the others.
- Action and Sports: You may not think you’re an action or sporty photographer. If you find your happiness in life is photographing children and pets, than you are! They never stop moving around, and they rarely sit still for a photo.
- Portraits: Faces are fascinating to you. When you go on vacation you are more inclined to take photos of the locals than the scenery. There is something about the human face and the expressiveness of the eyes that is enchanting.
- Landscapes: Landscape photographers are somewhat opposite to portrait photographers. While the portrait person likes to interact with people, the landscaper is more at home in the beauty of nature without another single person for miles.
- Universal: Macro photography is for those who love the small things in life, and pay enough attention to their surroundings to notice all of the tiny details. The devil is in the details – and you want to try to find it.
- Night/Low Light: You enjoy prowling around in the dark or dim are fascinated by the way night-time can change a city. That or you really enjoy taking photos inside dim galleries and museums.
- Travel/Outdoor: You want your camera to go with you EVERYWHERE. Whether it’s hiking, biking, or jumping out of an airplane, the best camera for you will be small and light.
- Indoor: You are most inclined to pull out a camera when your small child is reaching for his favorite toy. You take photos of birthday parties, dinners, and other events that occur inside a house.
- Spontaneous: You want to be able to react on a moment’s notice, and know that speed is essential to capturing the photo of a lifetime. You have a habit of waiting until the last moment to bring out the camera.
- Planned/Studio: No photo you take is without some form of preparation. Whether it’s a child’s portrait or a still life of your favorite flower, you like to get everything set up so that the light, color and mood are just right.
- ColorMunki Photo: Combining monitor calibration with printer profiling, the ColorMunki Photo should take care of all your color managing needs.
- Epson P-7000 Multimedia Storage Viewer: The Epson P-7000 is good to use when it comes to portable storage devices. Battery life is good and would be more than enough to last the typical user a full day… this certainly isn’t a cheap device, but the quality is first rate, and it beats the heck out of hauling a laptop for image storage.
- Epson Stylus Photo R2880: The increase in dMax, while faint, makes the already solid black and white performance even better. Combined with the lack of metamerism,.
- HP Photosmart B9180: Overall, the HP B9180 is hard to beat. The image quality is first rate, and with the move to coloring inks the print life and media options are excellent.
- Wacom Cintiq 12wx: The ultimate companion for creative professionals, Wacom’s slim and light Cintiq 12WX delivers pen-on-screen capabilities that allow digital content creators to work smarter and faster The Cintiq 12WX is suitable in a variety of computer environments, especially those where users wish to work across displays.
The moment when you start comparing
cameras, it’s easy to lose track of why you needed the camera in the
first place. At that time, Pick Your Style before you
go any further, pick your photographic style. It’s OK if you choose 2 or
3 styles, so long as you remember which ones they are. When you just
focus on the features that help you take the photos you love, it reduces
the number of features you have to evaluate. You’ll find the best
digital camera and not just the best camera for anyone.

Mark Zuckerberg unveils a new version of the Facebook profile page called "Timeline."
Facebook users, mark my words: You'll revolt when the site rolls out its new features in the coming weeks.
Facebook is about to completely change the way its profile pages look
as part of the website's biggest redesign so far, and only a fraction
of the website's 800 million users seem to have the slightest clue.
I'm not talking about the new real-time "Ticker" at the top right of your Facebook profile. I'm not even talking about the "Top Stories" that now appear at the top of your Facebook news feed -- those are tiny, insignificant changes compared to what's just around the corner.
But boy, did some people react badly to even those minuscule improvements. Among my Facebook friends, more than half said they disliked the changes and some threatened to quit. Of course, they did no such thing. How will they react when Facebook throws away the old profiles and replaces them with something completely new?
If you use Facebook, chances are you're unaware of the major changes
that are slated to begin rolling out by the end of this month (full
disclosure: Mashable is one of several news organizations partnering
with Facebook on a social news app). Only geeks like me are obsessed
enough to have watched Facebook's 90-minute announcement of the new
profile pages last week.
And an even smaller percentage of Facebook users have discovered, like I did, that you can enable the new "Facebook Timeline" profile page right now so you're prepared for the launch.
So what's the big change? Facebook will be switching profile pages, perhaps optionally at first, to a new format called "Facebook Timeline." I switched my profile over last week and boy was it a shock -- I immediately wanted to switch it back to the old format. I'm someone who thrives on trying new things, but this change was radical even for me. Yet I could find no way to switch my profile back, so I stuck with it for a few days.
Facebook unveils 'Timeline' feature
I'm so glad I did: Facebook Timeline is the best change Facebook has ever made.
Facebook apps go beyond 'like' feature
Here's what'll happen once the Timeline profiles are launched: Your
Facebook profile will go from having one central column to two, with
boxes of text, photos, videos and even maps of your favorite locations.
Rather than just displaying your most recent activities, your profile
will become a scrapbook documenting your entire life, all the way back
to your birth. Facebook will become a record of your existence: All your
memories, your victories and your defeats, your loves, your losses and
everything in between.
You'll be shocked, as I was, when this change is made. Suddenly your life is laid out before you, the highs and lows somehow pinpointed by Facebook's algorithms. You'll wonder why the status update box is so tiny now, and where all your most recent updates went.
You'll add a big, new "Cover photo" to your page and waste a few hours preening your Timeline, choosing to feature your happiest memories, hide the inconsequential ones, and lingering awhile on the most bittersweet of moments. And you'll realize, as I did, that Facebook knows you better than you know yourself.
Through this process, you'll realize that Facebook Timeline is much more than a way to post the minutiae of your existence. While a typical social networking profile might highlight what you ate this morning, or what time you left for work, or where you had lunch, Facebook Timeline takes these thousands of seemingly inconsequential events, discards the irrelevant ones, finds the most emotive, the most visual, the most striking and emotionally touching moments and pulls them into sharp focus.
Much like our memories, Facebook Timeline understands that some moments have resonance that lasts through the years. It's a marvel of computer programming: An algorithm that comes eerily close to emulating human memory; perhaps the first algorithm to spark such a deep emotional response.
So yes, you will hate the new Facebook profile when it launches in the coming weeks. Then, like me, you'll realize that Facebook has unleashed something so remarkable that you didn't even recognize it at first: A meaningful social network. And like any other groundbreaking technology -- the PC, the smartphone, the iPad -- you'll wonder why life wasn't always this way, and how you got by without it.

Of course, they did no such thing. How will they react when Facebook throws away the old profiles and replaces them with something completely new?
Users will eventually realize that Facebook has unleashed something remarkable, Pete Cashmore says.

It has been a topic for debate among bloggers about whether Blogger or Wordpress is the better blogging platform. There’s no doubt Wordpress has the edge. But if you are a new blogger trying to make your mark in blogging, Blogger is the best option you have. Here are some reasons why you should choose Blogger and no one else!
Free & Easy Sign up
When you are starting off as a blogger, it is likely that you are not going to invest anything except your time and talent in blogging. Since Blogger is free, you can go with itCustom Domain
If you're not happy with blogspot.com sub-domain, you can create your own custom domain and host the same blog through Blogger.com. And it costs much less than hosting a Wordpress site — generally, domain registration fee for a year is less than $10. If you already own a Blogger blog and pondering over the idea of buying your own domain and hosting it with Blogger.com, you can check this article for more information.HTML Control
Wordpress.com is free and lets you use custom domains. But you cannot edit the HTML and tweak its functionalities. Blogger does allow you to edit HTML (and CSS) of your blog. Because of this, you can use hundreds of Blogger templates available online.Blogger Hacks
Blogger has many shortcomings when compared to Wordpress. But power bloggers and developers have made many tweaks to Blogger templates to have features that only Wordpress can boast of. My long-time favorite has been Hackosphere.Better Integration with Google Products
Since Blogger is a product of Google (Google acquired it in 2003), Blogger's integration with other Google products is better. From FeedBurner to Google Analytics to Adsense, you name it. With new features coming in everyday, you don’t have to worry about integration.Adsense
Once you strike the right chord and your blog is successful, it's time to earn some money from it. And what's better than Google Adsense. You can show your Adsense ads in a Blogger blog. Unfortunately, Wordpress.com doesn't let users show Adsense ads on their blogs.No Bandwidth Limitation & 100% Uptime
Hosted on Google's server, Blogger blogs have 100% uptime guaranteed and there's no bandwidth limitations on the content you show. These days, you can't expect 100% uptime from any hosts & even Dreamhost and Rackspace goes offline.Features
Blogger provides some of the coolest features, like email blogging, feed redirection, openid integration, mobile blogging, multi-language support etc.Exportability
If you want to move from Blogger to Wordpress, you can export your blog easily. You can even have a backup of all your posts.
