"One Surprising Reason Computer Screens Aren't Green-On-Black Anymore"

"In the early days of personal computing—think UNIX early—text was often white or green on a black screen. That didn't last long, of course, but there's a little-known reason that those shadowy screens weren't ideal for users. And it has to do with your poor eyesight.

First of all, for those of us who weren't around back then, a brief primer on how our LCD or plasma screens differ from those black-screened consoles of yore. These monitors used cathode ray tubes to shoot electrons at a fluorescent screen to produce pixels. Inside, these screens were coated with phosphor—a material that glows when struck with radiation (like the electrons), each creating a pixel of light. These early screens used a type of phosphor that emitted a greenish, yellowish glow—hence the early Matrix-style green-against-black monitors.

Later on, technology would advance to the point where each dot of light would contain a red, blue, and green phosphor, giving us color monitors. But considering that we started off computing on black backgrounds, what caused the switch over?"

"Turn Off Your Camera's Noise Reduction"

"One of the most heavily touted features of most consumer-oriented cameras, and even some pro ones, is noise reduction. Unfortunately, it almost always makes your photos look terrible, and you should turn it off whenever possible.

Noise is an unfortunate byproduct of digital sensors. The dimmer the light in your scene, the higher you'll have to crank the ISO, and the more noise will appear in your image. Noise levels can range from barely-noticeable to oh-my-god-who-barfed-on-my-photo.

The solution put forth by camera-makers has been noise reduction. When your camera compresses the image as a JPG file, it applies an algorithm that is supposed to magically wipe away uglifying noise. It's a feature in every camera you can buy, and is almost always touted as being "Advanced" or "Superior" or "Next Gen." With great sounding words like that, why wouldn't every user crank up the Noise Reduction?

Because what you think is salvaging your photos is actually destroying them."

Novo design de moeda da Noruega incorpora pixel art

As novas notas da moeda norueguesa são um trabalho feito por uma parceria entre a empresa de arquitetura Snøhetta e o estúdio de design The Metric System.

Na parte frontal das notas da Coroa Norueguesa aparecem imagens como um navio Viking, um farol e até um peixe, consideradas mais tradicionais, enquanto o verso traz imagens pixeladas da costa da Noruega.

Quanto maior o valor da nota, mais abstrata parece a arte, já que a intenção era distorcer a visão da costa do país de acordo com a Escala de Beaufort, que classifica a intensidade dos ventos.

De acordo com o Banco Central da Noruega, as novas notas devem entrar em circulação em 2017. A escolha foi feita entre diversas propostas apresentadas que podem ser vistas aqui neste link.
