Renovated for Television
I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but watching renovation shows on television often leaves me feeling like I'm just not keeping up. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of a full kitchen or bathroom renovation in which everything comes together, and problems are solved, in a litter less than 30 minutes. Thos TV contractors turn out some seriously complex renovations in what feels like less time than the average lunch break.

Having been behind the scenes on the set of a few TV shows, I know there is a lot left out. The fact is, the crews that pull off those impressive renovations are forced to deal with the same laws of physics and time that the rest of us are. Paint takes the same amount of time to dry, tiles don't magically fit wherever we lay them and not every product is available and in stock on the shelves at the local home-improvement store. Post-production editing compresses time and cuts out the work done by several, sometimes dozens of helpers over many days, sometimes weeks.

Amateur Photographer 11-02-2012

NEW UPLOAD

HOYA may well be the world's largest producer of optical glass, but it really doesn't know how to run a camera company. It's true that the photographic side of Pentax was making loss when Hoya acquired the company in 2007, but instead of investing in new bodies and getting the brand back on track, Hoya seems to have stripped the life out of it. The 10-billion-yen sale of the Pentax camera business to Ricoh was surprising to some, as it's easy to forget that office and industrial machinery make Ricoh a very large company. I hope, and believe, that Ricoh will kick-start the K series once again and that we will see a new Pentax rising from the wastes of what it has become.

Mens Health Magazine March 2012

NEW UPLOAD

When I was 18, I was worried about my future. Where I should go to college? What do I want to be when I grow up? Men peak at 18, we've always been told, and the future looked like a scary and uncertain place. When I was 25, I was beside myself with worry about the future. Had I made the right choice, going into journalism and taking a job at this fledgling magazine called Men's Health? My freewheeling youth was behind me, and now I was a responsible, working adult. Would I be able to make it in a competitive office environment?. When I was 39, I was a total wreck about the future. "I'm turning 40!" I thought. I was saying goodbye to what left of my mouth, getting ready to accept the slow descent into middle age, wondering if I should make sure my new apartment came with an emergency beeper in the bathroom, in case I fell coming out of the tub.

PC Format Magazine Next-Gen Graphics March 2012

NEW UPLOAD

This issue we feature what is quite possibly the finest feature ever in PC Format. Starting on page 6 we set out to see what real difference a high-end rig makes over a budget system when it comes to gaming. We're not talking a small difference either, think 300 GBP versus 3000 GBP for three main components, and you should get an idea of what we're looking at.

the important differentiating factor with this feature is that the final decision about what is better doesn't come down to a long list of benchmarks (although we give you those as well) bot down to the real-world performance as perceived by four gamers. One rig may boast double the frame rate of the other, but is that disparity noticeable? Can a gamer see the difference? The results are alarming.

The high-end rig in this face off boasts the latest components and in the graphics department we have none other than the Radeon HD 7970, the much-anticipated next-generation card from AMD. We've done a full review of the card on page 26, and also get to see how it performs in CrossFire on p46 in a full rig.

PC Gamer March 2012

NEW UPLOAD

It's always been PC Gamer's policy to play games through to completion at least once before writing our reviews. But as games become increasingly isn't easy to define particularly in the case of MMOs. Not only do they require hundreds and conceivably even thousands of hours to explore every narrative path with every class and character configuration, but they also evolve over time. And the pre-baked content available at launch is only one aspect of a game like The Old Republic, whose creative community and ambitious post-launch plans will determine its ling-term fate and whether or not you'll still be playing it a year from now. So when we review an MMO, we have to balance respect for the game (by experiencing enough content to assign a fair verdict) without readers desire to read our review of that game within their lifetimes. Your demand a comprehensive, exhaustive evaluation, but you don't pay us to take our sweet time.

What Digital Camera January 2012

NEW UPLOAD

The end of the compact?
When the iPhone4S was announced a few months back, most commentators and fans seemed disappointed that, on the face of it, here was a minor update midway through the phone's life, and not the radical upgrade that they were hoping for expecting. While the familiar, slick exterior remains, making the iPhone 4S virtually indistinguishable from the iPhone 4 at least to the untrained eye there's actually quite a bit that's changed internally. Why should you care? Well, the most noticeable change is the camera and the technology that goes with it. We've been lucky enough to have an iPhone 4S on test and all we can say is that photographers should be very excited indeed.

Popular Mechanics March 2012

NEW UPLOAD

In one of our very first issues, back in 1902, we told the story of Illinois schoolboy names Mark Richards, who built an automobile for himself. By saving money from his alter-school job blacking stoves, Richard cobbled together enough parts to assemble a runabout that rolled four skinny tires and was powered by a single-cylinder engine. "I had no knowledge of the principles and practice of gasoline engine construction," Richards said, "yet I not only managed to make it but to built the transmission mechanism, friction clutch, spark-timing mechanism, body running gear, etc., even doing the necessary blacksmith-ing.. I stuck to the job and am gratified with the result."

If Mark Richards were alive today, he would love the story of Bob Dullam, a sculptor in Kalamazoo, Mich., who receive one of our 2009 Backyard Genius Awards for building a replica of the Tumbler Bat-mobile. Dullam fabricate a steel chassis and laid on body plates made of epoxy reinforced with fiberglass matte, then dropped in a 350 Chevy V-8 and slapped on 44-inch-wide Super-Swamper tires. Why did Dullam spend $50.000 on his beast? "I like Batman," he says, "and the only way to get this car was to built it myself."

Tattoo Vixens 2 2012

NEW UPLOAD

As usual and as is correct in such book as this, mention must go to all of the contributing photographers and models, without whom a project like this would never get off the ground. Big thanks also to the team back at HQ who keep many eyes on the ball as it bounces, but I have no doubt other are allowed to play in the gene pool as well. If I missed you out, sorry. You should probably look busier during that day. To the folk holding the fort back at the ranch, you know who you are by now. I can't thank you any more, it's embarrassing. On the plus side, I know you've all been watching TV shows I wouldn't normally allow so lap it up while you can. Your days are numbered!. This bookazine has been built with the assistance of Yorkshire Tea, Costa Coffee and Marlboro, are we allowed to even mention them these days?

iPad & iPhone User Magazine - No.59 2012

NEW UPLOAD

If there one thing you need to be a successful technology journalist, it's a willingness to embrace change. (Well, that and a resistance to cheap alcohol). The tech industry changes continually, at a dizzying pace, and our job is to track its progress and try to work out where it's going. That's not easy at times, especially when you're focusing on a company as secretive and prodigiously innovative as Apple. But every now and then you get a clearer view of where we're headed.

This time of year is technology trade show season, and in the past month the iPad & iPhone User team have crossed the Atlantic four times: for the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and MacWorld | iWorld in San Francisco. This issue we report on the mind-blowing prototypes, proofs of concept and pre-release demos we saw, and the products we can expect to hit the market in the coming months.

Whether you're interested in giant flat-screens, top-of-the-line audio or gaming kit, the newest and weirdest docks and accessories for your iPhone or iPad, tablets and smartphones that are gunning for Apple's status as top dog, or just the cleverest gadget that the world's inventors have come up with, there's sure to be something in our 9-page special for you.

Sky & Telescope Magazine April 2012

NEW UPLOAD

I keep whiteboard in my office where i jot down wise and inspirational quotes. One of the quotes that's been there for quite awhile comes from inventor Charles Kettering : "The world hats change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress". I suspect that you have already noticed one big change with this issue. Rather than spreading our monthly observing articles around the magazine, we're running them all together and linking them thematically with a red band across the top of each page. This unified observing section starts off with a table of contents and generally goes from our departments that cover naked-eye objects to Sue French's Deep-Sky Wonders column, which mostly describes objects requiring telescopes.

Mac Format February 2012

NEW UPLOAD

As we were sending this issue to press we got the news that Apple was joining the Fair Labor Association to help improve working conditions in its factories overseas. This is a great step forward for Apple and for anybody who cares their technology products are made and the conditions for the workers there. "No one in our industry is driving improvements for workers the way Apple is today," said Tim Cook, Apple CEO, in an internal email to all employees.

Apple does get more negative press about workers conditions than most technology companies, mainly because of its high profile and almost obsessive culture of secrecy, which is something we investigate on page 24 this issue. Apple is actually the first technology company to join the FLA, and I hope others soon follow suit.

Edge Magazine - March 2012

NEW UPLOAD

We've become so accustomed to having our hands held by today's breed of eager-to-please games that being let off the leash can feel disorienting. Aren't we supposed to be following this path to that building? Should we really be poking about in this cave when we know that the real action is over there? Isn't all this messing around going to.. well, break something? And yet freedom to do what we like within an interactive space is as invigorating now as it was in 2001 when GTA III broke the mould for realtime gameworlds. (What, after all, would Skyrim be without its desire to cut you from the apron strings and push you out of the door?) Which is why the existence of a new Far Cry is something to be excited about.
