The best 360-degree camera

I’ve used the recommended camera and, while it’s very specific in its application, can produce some interesting pictures and video.

Salt life

Settle in for a long but very interesting read on one of the things you rarely think about but can’t live without.

Big wave surfing in Portugal

Just watching this video makes me want to go in a corner and weep in fear. I can’t imagine the courage of a surfer willing to try and ride these waves.

Apple Dubai Mall opening

The inside of the store looks pretty much like every other Apple store. But Apple has really taken advantage of the location and the outside of the store is magnificent.

Raw images from Cassini

If you’re an astronomy nerd, do not go to this site. Your weekend will be shot. There are 383,000+ and counting images.

Heineken’s “Worlds Apart” ad

Hey Pepsi – here’s how you do socially relevant advertising. I showed this to The Publisher and he couldn’t post it through his tears of joy so I’m doing it on his behalf.

This lawsuit goes to 11

Spinal Tap is one of the most fun movies you’ll ever watch and it’s a travesty it’s creators have been screwed out of millions of well-deserved dollars.

Apple’s new Clips app is iMovie for the social age

I completely recognize I am not the target audience for Clips. That being said, are any of you using it on a regular basis? Do you know others who are? What are your thoughts on the app, given it is a version 1.0?

Can you spot the snake?

I can’t see it and this perfectly encapsulates why I don’t go into the woods.

Is every speed limit too low?

Last Sunday, I decided to see what kind of gas mileage I could get on my motorcycle. I drove 90 minutes into downtown Vancouver, keeping to the speed limit the entire time. I got passed by everybody.

Apple cuts affiliate commissions on apps and in-app purchases

While the percentage remains at 7% for movies, music, and books, this does nothing but hurt small publishers, some of who rely on these revenues from Apple’s affiliate program. It means some sites may not be able to continue or will be forced to increase the number of affiliate links to make up the difference. Apple still takes their 30% from developers (affiliate revenues came out of Apple’s share), so this means Apple makes more money and users of affiliate links make significantly less.
