The iPhone headset has a multitude of functionality. The obvious ones are listening to music, and using it as a hands-free device when talking on the phone. However, the microphone also has a built-in button, which can do a lot of things:

Changing the logo in the iPhone app
By changing the image file located at %appdata%\FotoWare\FotoWeb\Site Settings\SITE\Documents\rsrc\iPhoneLogo.png you will change the logo of the iPhone app to your customer’s logo. The file used must be a .PNG file, of exactly 550×88 pixels. Also, keep in mind that it may take as long as four hours from first login after the change has been made before the new logo is available.

The FotoWeb Demo site
FotoWare maintains a FotoWeb demo site at fotoweb.fotoware.com, which is publicly accessible. You can use this site to test the features in FotoWeb as well as the Desktop application, Office plugin, Adobe extension and the iPhone app.

The FotoWeb Office Plugin supports placing of multiple placeholder boxes in PowerPoint
When creating a layout in Powerpoint, pay attention to the sequence in which you place placeholders. The Office Plugin will place images in picture placeholders first, in the order they were placed in the document.
Second, it will place images in Content placeholders, again, in the order they were placed in the document. Naturally, if you select a placeholder in the layout, the first image you select will be placed into it.
To place multiple images in the presentation, double-click each image you want to insert, in the order you want them inserted. When placing an image in a Picture placeholder, the image will be centred and adapted to the placeholder’s width.
When placing an image in a Content placeholder, the whole image will be visible, and the height and width of the placeholder will be adjusted to fit the image and its proportions.

A new iPad
So, the latest iteration of iPad was announced last week. The new iPad, as it is named, is supposed to “have redefined yet again the category that Apple created just two years ago with the original iPad.”
Me, I’m not convinced. Let’s have a look at the facts, the improvements announced are as follows: (more…) -
I am not Anon
I do not think there has ever been any confusion on this; This site is a good example of why not. I post under my full name, standing firmly behind my opinions. The same thing goes for other websites. I am registered with my name on all of the sites on my Online Profiles section of the links page where it is possible. I do not hide behind a moniker or nom de plume. There are several reasons for this. It is not coincidental, it is by choice. I believe strongly in the right to freedom of speech, but I also believe that debate only really becomes useful when people understand that words may have consequences. I think that, by posting my opinion using my name, I keep myself honest and accountable. I do not post things I do not believe, and I do not post things solely to embarass someone.
A sometime participant in public debate, my opinions are my own. I claim them as such, and share them freely. I believe in sharing, free use and attribution, and I believe that, while copyright laws are useful, and sometimes necessary, there are better alternatives out there. Specifically, I think Creative Commons does a better job of defining exactly what rights you claim, and how you allow other people to use your content. The counter argument is that people can just go ahead and take your content. While that may, to some extent, be true, it is no more true than it would be if you claimed full copyright, unless you start using some fairly draconian measures to protect your content, measures which I, for one, am not comfortable with.
While I may disagree with the tactics and approach of Anon, I do understand them. I think doing things “for the lulz”, is the worst kind of reasoning there is. Doing them because you believe it is right, even if there is also an element of lulz is fine, but the root of it, the driving force and thought behind it, should always be that it makes the world better, that it is the right thing to do.
I am not Anon, but I think they have their place. -
What you need to know about SOPA
You will hopefully already have heard a lot about SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, which is currently working its way through the US Senate, and if we do not take a stand RIGHT NOW, we may lose the internet as we know it. The irony of it all, is that the US State Department is currently very outspoken against internet censorship, as they should be.
The below infographic was created by activist group organized by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Creative Commons, Mozilla, Public Knowledge, the Free Software Foundation and others who oppose the bill. Please share it, please make sure people know what is happening. Follow the links in this post, and do your part. SPEAK OUT!

Review: Amazon Kindle
As promised last week, I am today reviewing my new eBook reader, the Amazon Kindle. Or should that be Amazing? -
Getting a new eBook reader
Ever since I got my Sony Reader, I’ve been very happy with the reading experience, but of late, it has not been seeing as much use. This us due to a few things.
The first thing is that it has been getting increasingly hard to get ebooks for my device, at least legally. I used to get my books at Waterstones.com, but they are no longer selling to Norway. The only sites I have found that do sell to Norway, either do not carry the books I want, or are selling them at a premium, making them considerably more expensive than their paper counterparts.
The second thing is that the battery life has become much shorter than it was, and annoyingly so.
The third thing, which has annoyed me from day one, is how heavy the device is.
The fourth, and last reason, is that transferring books was kinda clunky, even though I found software that did it considerably better than Sony’s own software.
So, what did I get, you ask? Well, the review is coming next week…
