Speakers Jan 28, 09, 12:39 p.m.

I've been reading great reviews on M-Audio AV40 monitors, they seem too cheap to be true.
I would hook them up to the computer, probably via an Airport Express, so I don't really need audio reference quality.
Do you have any experience with these?
What are your speakers?

Product photography pricing Jan 22, 09, 3:28 a.m.

I have a client who I once shot some product photos for. I need to come up with a price for additional single small product shots she'll be sending in in the future.
With single items, the bulk of the time will be consumed by lighting set-up, it's not going to be very cost effective for her.

I thought I'd give her a starting price for 1-3 items at 2 hours, then go upwards from there.
How do you charge for product shots, in terms of hours? Is there a minimum of hours per session?

MacBook white spots on display Jan 20, 09, 7:45 a.m.

My almost 3 years old macbook has a few white spots on the LCD. They're much bigger than bad pixels, also they're blurry. Strangely, they're more visible on a light background than on a black one.

Has anyone here had that sort of thing and got it fixed under apple care?

HTML email for Gmail Jan 15, 09, 9:34 a.m.

Do you have a good resource with info on optimizing html email newsletters for Gmail?

Gmail web client seems to rip the html apart and rewrite it in its own fashion.
Most html emails lose their background color, is there a way to prevent it?

.me domains Dec 10, 08, 2:22 p.m.

There was much noise about these, plenty of domains supposedly sold for thousands or even hundreds of thousands, but I have yet to come across a proper website under a .me domain.
Anyone?

Domain transfer Dec 9, 08, 3:59 p.m.

What is the best way to safely purchase a domain from someone I don't know and most likely, will never see?
You agree on the price and then what? sedo.com ? The domain is on godaddy, do they have a safe service for domain transfer/transaction?

Windows antivirus Dec 6, 08, 8:20 p.m.

I just installed Windows XP through bootcamp. What free antivirus or other protection software should I install there before connecting it to the internet?

Coding fonts Dec 1, 08, 2:30 p.m.

What is your favourite font for use in a code editor?
Do you prefer antialiased or bitmap display for it? What size?..

I could never find a good fixed-width font for an editor. There were a few I liked, like Miniml's Standard set but they didn't have broad enough glyph coverage for my needs.

How long can you go? Nov 25, 08, 1:36 a.m.

You're out of job effective tomorrow or your regular clients fold if you're self-employed.
Considering your costs and savings, how long can you stay afloat without a new source of income?
If you go on the dole, does it let you carry on much longer?
Don't count credit cards in, that's cheating.

Apple Cinema vs Dell 2007WFP Sep 27, 08, 7:49 a.m.

I have a chance to get ACD 20" cheaply and get rid of my Dell. I won't have the time to test them both together beforehand though.
Can you tell if there is a noticeable quality difference?

Why are they doing it to themselves on the day Apple had booked all the attention for?
