The Adobe Conundrum

Creative Suite vs Creative Cloud
The Creative Suite from Adobe has been one of the tech industry’s most successful stories, with every single design/media oriented individual/corporation leveraging at least one of the Creative Suite’s products – be it Photoshop or Premier. So when Adobe announced in May that it would be abandoning the Creative Suite in place for a new subscription based model, the Creative Cloud, all hell went loose in the creative industry.

The SPIGEN SGP GLAS.t Slim for Sony Xperia Z review

06_1The brooding issue of a smartphone is not of its capabilities nor is it of its price tag. It is durability. And with literally every smartphone produced nowadays, bar the Blackberry Q10, sporting the definitive all glass front panel, the possibilities of destroying your exquisite smartphone display is very much heightened. So what do you do? Obvious answer is “Get a screen protector!”. BUT, do you really want to put up with a rubbish touch surface, degraded screen quality and ease of scratch-ability? I don’t think so, but it is the only choice to protect your smartphone’s screen… until now.

Still relevant? Google Nexus One in 2013

Nexus heritage

The first thoroughbred pure Android “superphone”. Announced and released in January of 2010, nearly 4 years ago, the Nexus One represented a new class of smartphones that would continue to converge style, performance and feature sets with a great user interface into one amazing package. However, we are talking here about a phone that is nearly 4 years old! 4 years in today’s fast moving mobile industry is an eternity! Is the Nexus One still worthy of its Nexus badging? Find out more in the review!

Lens Review: Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG MACRO

Sigma 70-300mm DG Macro
As budget lenses go, this Sigma telephoto represents a class of SLR lenses that are designed for the amateur in mind. And Sigma has really done a heck of a good job in building the 70-300mm DG MACRO around the budget conscious amateur. Is this the holy grail of budget lenses or is it just another flop like the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM? Find out more in the review!

Still relevant? HTC Hero in 2013

IMG_8057

Back in 2009, this very phone was the centrepiece of the Android world. Raving reviews were written about its capabilities and styling. But now in 2013, the HTC Hero has receded into the history books as the smartphone world blazed by with quad-core processors and 1080P screens that utterly shame the HTC Hero. The question now is, can the Hero be a daily driver in the age of the stupidly fast Galaxy S4 and wonderfully beautiful HTC One? Let’s answer that question.
