New Zealand’s Newest Service: “iGovt”

Misc No Comments »

The country of New Zealand is striving to keep up with a changing generation. They are in the beginning stages of creating a new service called, "iGovt". iGovt will allow citizens to access numerous government documents and websites. Things like passports and birth certificates will be accessible online so people can prove who they are without having to show the actual paperwork. This will be an alternative, not a complete change from paper documents.

Citizens might also be able to vote in elections online, when this system is completed.

Just Released: Aperture 2.1 for Image Editing

Apple, Misc No Comments »

Apple has just released Aperture 2.1 for picture and image editing. The most sought after feature about this product is that you can easily use third-party imaging software by opening it up in the program (Aperture).

John Stanmeyer, photographer for National Geographic and Time magazine said, “To date, maybe 2% of my photographs needed to be touched up outside Aperture. Now that I can dodge and burn right within Aperture’s new plug-in, I can’t imagine when I’ll have to open any other application to tone my images." Sounds pretty good, eh?

Aperture 2.1 also features saturation, burn, sharpen and contrast, which are part of the "Dodge & Burn" plug-in.

There is already a known bug, which makes some images turn to black. The people behind Aperture are looking into the matter though and you can read about it more in the O'Reilly Forums.
