Markus Hartel:

I hate to break it to you guys, but switching to film from digital does not make you a better photographer, it may give you something to brag about, but that’s about it – what counts is your vision and your command of your gear, nothing else. processing can be a pain in the rear for both and the editing process is pretty much the same, get on with the program and start photographing already…

Agreed.

Adobe Labs:

April 26, 2012 — Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1 release candidate 2 is now available.

I’m using LR4 RC1 since it’s release. In my experience it is already faster than the 4.0 Version. So I will update immediately to RC2 since it fixes some more bugs.

nakedpassword.com:

The whole idea of naked password is to encourage your users to enter stronger passwords.

Our beautiful model Sally tastefully removes items of clothing as the password grows stronger.

Fun idea. If the plugin could automatically detect whether the user is female or male it would be even better.

Rinzi Ruiz:

No camera is perfect so it’s just about learning how to use it. For me it’s just a great camera to use and am very happy with it so far.

Rinzi Ruiz is a very passionate X100 street shooter and now owns a X-Pro 1. He talks about both cameras even if it’s about the latter. The review is non-technical and therefore very good. I followed him on Flickr for quite some time and I really like his style. Have a look.

Marcel Wichmann:

We’re happy to announce that, starting from now, you’ll be able to embed recommendations on your websites. Whether it’s your blog, your tumblr or your self-hosted collection of knitting tutorials, everything’s fine.

Today we released embedded recommendations for QUOTE.fm. We hope you like them as much as we do. They look like this:

I am so excited. Fuckyeah!

flickr blog:

Today, we’re excited to announce a new feature that will make it even easier and faster for you to upload your photos and share them with the people who matter to you. Introducing the new Flickr Uploadr!

Yesterday Flickr announced their new (HTML5) Uploadr. Looks great as far a I can tell from the images and feature list. The new uploader will be rolled out over the next few weeks. If anyone of you already has it, I would be happy if you share your experience.
There are even more infos on the technical details and a video on the flickr code blog.

MG Siegler:

I really, really, really want Mario and Zelda and Donkey Kong and all the other great Nintendo properties on iOS devices.

I would probably buy every single game. And I imagine I wouldn’t be the only one.

Ethan Marcotte:

Nelson Rodrigues: What framework do you recommend for a designer and developer duo starting in RWD?

EM: There are a number of great responsive frameworks out there: Foundation by ZURB, Josh Hopkins‘ Fluid Baseline Grid, and Twitter’s 2.0 release of Bootstrap has an optional responsive grid.

Each looks pretty damned promising to me, but I should probably mention I don’t use CSS frameworks for production code. I find them invaluable for prototyping, for getting ideas on the screen as quickly as possible, and seeing how they shake out in a responsive layout. But for final, client-ready deliverables, I like tailoring the code to the design, and finishing up with a responsive design that’s optimised for small screens by default, but progressively enhances up to wider displays.

Agreed. That’s exactly what I think of frameworks like Twitter Bootstrap. I never could imagine using one of these for an actual, real project.
There are also some more bits of knowledge in the Q&A.
