Yes, we’ve seen some amazing composites and some real live racing photos that are quite epic in their own right, but these images by photographers Dmitry Chistoprudov and Nikolay Rykov have the entire Internet wide-eyed.

Amazon's Smartphone with 3D Capabilities Revealed in New Photos
Mac Rumors
Recent reports suggest Amazon may be preparing a smartphone with 3D capabilities to compete with Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy handsets.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

I believe they will came out with an offer that will bomb the market. Let's see.


The biggest differentiator between Amazon's smartphone and those from Apple and Samsung is a 3D feature, which allegedly uses up to 4 cameras and additional sensors embedded in the phone. Amazon may use the 3D technology to showcase its own products, allowing users to explore a three-dimensional product images, claims BGR.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Thomas Hart Benton's America Today | Machinimania | Scoop.it

IThomas Hart Benton (American, 1889–1975). Coal, from America Today, 1930–31. Mural cycle consisting of ten panels. Egg tempera with oil glazing over Permalba on a gesso ground on linen mounted to wood panels with a honeycomb interior. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Gift of AXA Equitable, 2012 (2012.478a–j2012). View a slideshow of all ten panels.


Via Annie Brightstar
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

I love it.

America Today was Benton's first major mural commission, and remains his best-known work. The ten-panel mural is imbued with the spirit of the Machine Age, and offers us a great opportunity to enrich our narrative of twentieth-century American art. It arrives at an optimal moment as we begin to consider new ideas for our galleries of modern art.

While content is what is important, the successful hosts realize that there are a number of factors that help them become a quality host.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

It’s an internal question that most people ask themselves when they’re starting their own podcast or Hangout On-Air.

“How do I fit questions into a 30 minute segment?”

“What do I ask my potential guest?”

“What do I do when the guest gets off topic?”


Great article -

Great post from Shannon!
