Luminance HDR (aka qtpfsgui) 2.0 is now available!

June 17, 2010

If you are into photography then you’ll most likely have heard of HDR images.  These wonderful images are created with software that merge three images into one.  You can create these wonderful images with the proper software.  Of course, the almighty Adobe Photoshop can do this but do you have a few hundred bucks for it.   A great alternative is Qtpfsgui ,now known as Luminance HDR.  Version 2.0 is available now for both Windows and Linux versions.  However, it’s no longer free.  Luminance HDR 2.0 for Windows is selling for 15 Euro.  If you hurry you can still get the previous version at cnet.com.  It’s the previous version that was free.  So hurry before cnet updates it’s database and remove version 1.90.

Can you really return a Redbox rental anywhere?

June 9, 2010

If you ever rented a movie from Redbox you would see that they claim you can return the movie anywhere there is a Redbox kiosk.  So I decided to test Redbox’s claim that you can rent a movie at one location and return it at another location.  I rented Decent 2 in Spokane, WA and I took it with me on my flight to San Jose, CA.  The distance is about 916 miles apart.  I found the closet Redbox to where I was and returned the movie then waited for the “successful” message that apears whenever you return a movie.  The successful message appeared and I was glad not to have to wait until I’m back in Spokane to return the movie. By the way, Redbox has increased the fee to $1.15 for a movie.
