All photographers, pro or amateur, have a secret gallery of almost photos — pictures that would have been good, maybe even great, if the shots had been in focus when the photographer pressed the shutter button. Almost great is destined to become a thing of the past, at least where focus is concerned that is until now. Lytro, Inc., a start-up in Mountain View, CA, last week released the first consumer camera that lets the photographer, or anyone looking at a picture onscreen, to correct the focus on any object in the photo, whether it’s an inch or a light-year away....

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke Spotify Protest Hits Twitter The pair have removed a Thom Yorke solo album The Eraser, as well as the latest album from side project Atoms For Peace, that Godrich is a member of. Yorke has criticized Spotify’s business model, saying that new artists on the service won’t get paid, while shareholders of the service will be “rolling in it.” In a number of tweets, Nigel Godrich says that streaming makes sense for large record companies or artists, with huge back catalogs, but that making records costs a lot of money and small labels and artists can’t survive in these conditions....

How Much Energy? The amount of electricity it’s using is probably minimal. But it gives me the anxiety to see that USB audio interface with its flashing light, indicating that it’s powered-on but can’t connect to my computer.

Veracrypt is the descendent of Grandpa TrueCrypt, which was suddenly declared obsolete and unsafe, to the shock of many (it was rumored the FBI had managed to crack it finally). Grandpa TrueCrypt was then unceremoniously shuffled off to the encryption home in the sky. But no sooner had the crypto-geeks picked themselves off the floor than it was announced that a new version was coming out. This was VeraCrypt. Let’s take a look at what Veracrypt is and how you can set up an encrypted “volume” (sort of like a folder)....
So, what do you do with them all? If you’re anything like me, then you don’t organize them. You don’t take them to Walgreens and have them printed and put them in a scrapbook. Instead, you just kind of hoard them. I have just a fraction of my photos in Google Photos—and look: Ain’t no one got time to sort through tens of thousands of pictures.
