2016 seems to be a record year for Christmas drone crashes

They range in price from $10 to thousands, and anybody can get hold of one. But, what surprises me is the number of them that seem to crash within […]

Here’s how colour charts let you get perfect and consistent colour every time

There are several devices out there to let you do this, but there’s two main ones. One is the X-Rite ColorChecker (or Passport), and the other is the Datacolor SpyderCHECKR (reviewed here). I still use both systems, […]

The new 2016 MacBook Pro has been getting a lot of flak. They’ve removed all ports except USB Type-C and the headphone jack (sorry, what?), you can’t upgrade the RAM, and the highest capacity model is a mere 16GB.
